I was here last March 14, 2024 as a guest of my friends living in Las Vegas, really enjoyed my buffet meal at Makino! Will return here next time I travel to Las Vegas. So much to choose from and so delicious! Went at 5:30pm at the start of Buffet. Now back here in Toronto, Canada.
Agree 100% that for $44.95 this buffet is awesome! What I really like about it is that besides so much variety of wonderful seafood, crablegs, and sushi, they also have a hot menu that is sure to please everyone! The desserts exceed what you would expect of a buffet that offers a price under $50. I'd love to try the missus's spicy pork ramen and the crablegs that you had were big and meaty! Thank you as always for your great video reviews!!!
The man that owns this use to own a chain in CA back in the day called Todai. When it was gone he came to Vegas to open this. The very humble man. You know the sushi is fresh when you see the owner sitting at a table eating it. I am had a long conversation with him once when eating there. Todai was sooo good. Exactly like this but they use to have Lobster and filet mignon at dinner
@@ExploreVegas every eating there and you see an older Oriental man did his chefs whites that is him. Like if you asked him to talk to you about the restaurant he will in like one sec. We love that place. I go back and forth between Vegas and LA. And when my daughter comes to Vegas with me the first place she says let's go is there.
Sushi at a lot of buffets often doesn't look appetizing, but this sushi is mouth-watering. This place is unbelievable. I can't believe how many great buffets there are in Vegas off the Strip. If I ever get back to Vegas I have so many places to try. I miss great seafood. With food prices the way they are these days, the only seafood I eat are sardines. Another wonderful buffet. Thank you.
Food looks great! Between AYCE sushi & Asian Fusion buffet and Makino Sushi & Seafood bufffet, which one do you like better? I have never been to either one of them. Great video, thank you!
We love both. We go to AYCE sushi & Asian Fusion because everything is not only unlimited, but made to order. When we are super hungry, we go to Makino because it is a buffet and we can build our own plates quickly.
Love the variety of sushi! I can easily run a pretty big tab at my local sushi bar. And, the buffet offers crab legs and so many other delicious choices. Can I live at this buffet? 😊
Wow, talk about getting your money's worth! Well worth the price especially if your one to indulge in the Sushi. Those crab legs looked amazing. Glad to see you and Mrs. EV enjoying yourselves and taking us along. Nice video!!
Another good find... One step above your average Asian buffet... Looks clean and well maintained, but can't really tell until the dinner rush... lol... I haven't explored that area.. maybe next time... Thanks
There used to be a Makino in Orange County next to the airport and it was one of the best buffet in Orange County. Unfortunately, it's closed since the pandemic. Bummer
WOW NOW I WANT CRAB LEGS😂. ALL OF THAT SUSHI LOOKS SO GOOD AND IT WAS PLENTY TO CHOOSE FROM 😋. THE PRICE IS A STEAL. THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP UP THE AMAZING JOB. ALWAYS FUNNY😂😂👍🏼😁😋😋😋
Hey!!! I love your channel! Do you ever eat drawn butter, soy sauce and wasabi? Any sauces? I never see you, other than Mrs. Employer with the lemon. lol
A very reasonable price for just a sushi and dim sum buffet - the bonus of crab legs, oysters on the half shell and fried, chicken, beef, and pork make Mikano
Ive never earen sushi but at that buffet I'd try it! An especially Awesome display of food! Maybe you could go again and explain what is in each roll as you eat it? Especially which has raw fish and what is cooked? Kinda of a sushi instruction manual? That would be so great - you have such a clear lovely voice and are so understandable to listen to! Everyone names the food, but doesnt really tell what it consists of - and what the flavor is like other than good or bad - you do a very respectable job of it - just need you to take it a little farther as you eat it! . Do love to watch your enjoyment of eating it! And your adorable wife's! It really should be your wife's face on the "Big one" shirt tho! 😂 The lady can handle an awesome bite! I look forward to your vlogs!
Typical Asian buffet restaurant with all the popular dishes at reasonable prices 😋 My favorites are also crab legs & oyster (by the way, are they served all day or only at dinner?)
We just went here today for a Wednesday dinner buffet for $44.95, but we were very disappointed with the quality and the selections of the food. We did not see any oysters, grilled cheese shrimps, or sliced roast beef. Maybe they only offer these on the weekends. They did have sliced teriyaki beef but it was okay. The sushi was okay only. It was our first time there but we are not planning to go back. We do not recommend this place. 😢
I grew to love your videos. Your reactions to the all the delicious food you consume is pure gold! I’ll never get tired of seeing create such great content!
not bad, only 2.7miles from bellagio! might be on my bucket list! any lobster sushi? im not a raw fish eater! seems way more xpensive den imperial buffet and no lobsters :( , much better quality sushi and more variety/cleaner place, more decadent! not bad for 40$ price for seniors
Please don’t waste any foods, take only what u can eat, hope not lots of foods are being wasted in ur video, lots of people in the world are being starved and malnutrition stages, other than that, thank you for ur video
The interesting thing about Yelp and Google reviews is that 9 out of 10 people who are upset leave a review yet only 1 out of 10 people who are happy leave a review.
The sushi looks good for a buffet however I didn’t see any sashimi but the crab legs made up for it the dessert looks good too Thank you for a great video and don’t eat the bread
I didn’t eat the bread, it I did eat quite a bit of rice on the sushi. No sashimi. They did have some nigiri and yes the crab legs were the star of the buffet!

Thank you GJP! The crab legs were meaty and they were prepared properly.
Not even 2 mins in I was drooling!
Sorry if we made you hungry! 😁

Went to Todai in Phoenix and Vegas........always delicious. thanks for that tidbit of info.
Never met the owner, but he sounds like a nice man. The food is excellent!

Oh it's the people who did Todai? They were great in LA. I think they sold to another company and they went downhill after that.
@@moonrunrs not the people. The man that owned it. He never sold it. He just went out of business!
my friend this is a great review and the food looked fresh and very good and you are correct that was very reasonable price ,thank you for this review
Thank you Frank! I hope you are doing well!
@@ExploreVegas thank you my friend ,i love your site
Great review. Beautiful display and fresh!

I’m thinking the way your thinking. I want to move in and eat that delicious food all the time!
You kids always make it look yummy! This buffet
seems to be a really good value if one just eats sushi.
Not going to lie. I ate my fair share of crab legs too.😋🦀
🤤🤤 It's definitely a must stop for our trip in December! Thank you for the recommendation.
Thank you for watching!
Hope you enjoy the buffet!

Thank you Tom! Hope you get to check it out sometime!
My fave AYCE sushi resto, been going there the last 20+ years. They used to have 2 or 3 locations in town. Just grab, eat and enjoy.🍣🍤🦀
Thank you for watching! ☺️
The sushi selection is AMAZING
Agreed! Thank you for watching!
Looks wonderful ❤
Thank you for watching!
Hi this is Lori from North California I love crab legs I have not eat in a long time.
I hope you get to try some soon. 🙂
Looked great
Ty
Thank you Jacqueline!
Making me hungry just watching!
Sorry we made you hungry.😁
Okay a little jealous right now liking the sushi. Great vlog and yup I'm seriously jealous 😢😢😢😢😢
I’m sorry, I hope you can go some time. It’s a great place!
Late September is the plan and back again for F1.
Delightful! 👍
Thank you for watching!

Thank you Tracey! I’ve been dreaming of crab legs since I left! 😂🤣
Hey!!! I love your channel! Do you ever eat drawn butter, soy sauce and wasabi? Any sauces? I never see you, other than Mrs. Employer with the lemon. lol
I enjoy the drawn butter and soy sauce, but rarely wasabi. Mrs. EV loves all the sauces!
I’ve never seen a restaurant put out that many oysters before! Would love to stop by next time I’m in Vegas.
Thank you for watching! 🦪 🦪😋😋
Thanks for sharing. Looks great. No sashimi? U skipped the nigiri?
Thank you for watching! The nigiri is at the 2:58 mark in the video. Unfortunately, no sashimi, but the crab legs made up for it. 😋😋😋
@@ExploreVegas I meant u never tasted any nigiri. Thanks for sharing.
A very reasonable price for just a sushi and dim sum buffet - the bonus of crab legs, oysters on the half shell and fried, chicken, beef, and pork make Mikano
I saw crab legs 🦀 and i clicked SO FAST😍
The crab legs were delicious! 😋🦀
Did you schedule your dinner and told them you were gonna film? Because the last time I went those food didn’t looked like that 🙂
We did call ahead of time to ask for permission to film, but we didn’t schedule a time.
@@ExploreVegasI’m a big great fan of your videos 💪🏽
That is an awesome price for all that! I’d rather go here than the more expensive casino buffets!
For sure. Best of both worlds. You get all that seafood and at half the price of the strip!
Ive never earen sushi but at that buffet I'd try it! An especially Awesome display of food! Maybe you could go again and explain what is in each roll as you eat it?

And your adorable wife's!
It really should be your wife's face on the "Big one" shirt tho! 😂 The lady can handle an awesome bite! I look forward to your vlogs!
I found the strangest part of sushi when I first tried it was the cold rice. Good sushi is wonderful.
That is a good idea @starrlacey2505!
Did I just witness Heaven?
I’m pretty sure you did!
Typical Asian buffet restaurant with all the popular dishes at reasonable prices 😋 My favorites are also crab legs & oyster (by the way, are they served all day or only at dinner?)
Crab legs are only for dinner.
yum is about all there is to say here. 😊
Well said Gail!!

The weekday menu varies from the weekend menu.
Good food
Thank you for watching!
Try coating sushi in that chocolate fountain! 😂
😂🤣

Thank you Noel! Appreciate you watching and your support!
This is the only place I go to for sushi and I'm a local.
Excellent choice! The sushi was fabulous!
Omg that sushi area would be tired of me
😁
When are you going to Mr. Shota restaurant........................
One we can check out for sure.
For the one non seafood lover in every group.........we leave her at home 😎
Omg you’re cracking me up!😂😂😂
Looks nice, the Makino here in L.A. is bad, nobody goes there.
Wow, never been to the one in L.A.
not bad, only 2.7miles from bellagio! might be on my bucket list! any lobster sushi? im not a raw fish eater! seems way more xpensive den imperial buffet and no lobsters :( , much better quality sushi and more variety/cleaner place, more decadent! not bad for 40$ price for seniors
Didn’t see any lobster sushi, but they do rotate in different varieties. So you never know.
Please don’t waste any foods, take only what u can eat, hope not lots of foods are being wasted in ur video, lots of people in the world are being starved and malnutrition stages, other than that, thank you for ur video
We eat we take.
Be careful of those chocolate fountains. I found out that every night when they close they have to strain out the dead flies and bugs.
😮😮😮
🤠
Thank you for watching!
I just read their reviews 🤦 😮
The interesting thing about Yelp and Google reviews is that 9 out of 10 people who are upset leave a review yet only 1 out of 10 people who are happy leave a review.
What is wrong with that chef at 02:55. He looks so mad. He should be happy that you are helping there business.
Not sure. The head chef did give us permission to film though.
You cannot not get the Crème Brule!!!!
I always get the crème brûlée!!
Don’t eat the steamed vegetables.
Right!! 😁😁
Overpriced. Not any more
Reasonably priced for what you get. Thank you for watching!
Please don’t allow your wife to dance , make faces, in your blog. It destroys your beautiful presentation
You are officially the only one who feels this way.
The sushi looks good for a buffet however I didn’t see any sashimi but the crab legs made up for it the dessert looks good too Thank you for a great video and don’t eat the bread
I didn’t eat the bread, it I did eat quite a bit of rice on the sushi. No sashimi. They did have some nigiri and yes the crab legs were the star of the buffet!
