Review: Mr. Baguette ★★★ 3/4

Egg and Ham 8" Banh Mi $2.75
Many people like Subway, but not me.  I prefer a nice Vietnamese Sandwich otherwise known as Banh Mi. It costs less and you get a much better quality sandwich.  Mr. Baguette is one of the better Banh Mi peddlers around this area. They have their own private parking lot as well as security plus the addition of an outdoor seating area for smokers.  Their baguette is second to none and the price is about right.  I like that they have a Sesame Seed Baguette.  They don't give you a lot of meat here.

This one doesn't sell premade food like many other places as they mainly focus on baguettes and Vietnamese Iced Coffee similar to any Lee's Sandwich location. This is a great substitute to fast food which costs more or possibly the same.

Review: Minato Japaneese Seafood Buffet ★★ 2/3




Sushi were better than expected.


Chocolate moose looks good but too cold and sweet,

Didn't get sick after eating this.



This restaurant is just another Chinese knockoff to make people think that it is a Japanese Buffet like Ichiban.  The quality of the food is similar to Zen Buffet but, you get better than average Sashimi and Sushi for a buffet.  The food selection is quite limited though: 

[Good Part]

Sushi - This is their main strength as the Sushi had good presentation and tasted good.

Salmon Sashimi - Not bad quality. I like the presentation.

Snow Crab and most other Seafood - They were stocked most of the time and there was no need to keep waiting like some other places.  Other than the claims I found the quality is pretty good for a buffet

[Mediocre Part]

The dessert - Looks good, but is stored in freezing cold temperatures and some of the cakes have too much sugar.

Mongolian BBQ - Not bad at all. They cut the steaks very thin, but the vegetables aren't too fresh.

[Foods to Avoid]

Fruit - Almost all the fruit was no good except the melons; even the bananas were dark and looked inedible.

Tuna Sashimi- Way too cold and is a low quality.

[Missing]

Roast Beef - This is first time I didn't see this item on a Chinese Dinner Buffet.

Forks - There's none in the tray, so you must ask your server for one.
