Mido Sushi

All you can eat sushi for a reasonable price. They had a good amount to choose from for the all you can eat deal, and more outside of that. They also had other traditional menu items. We were pleasantly surprised. Will come back.

Not really sure how people are leaving bad reviews for this place. Maybe it was just bad luck. We went tonight, a Saturday, and it was packed, the service was excellent and quick, and the all you can eat sushi was wonderful. We will definitely be coming back!

Visited while on the way back to Las Vegas on a saturday afternoon. There was no wait which was good (in customers perspective) given that it was a weekend afternoon.
Service: Quick and kind
Price: $ 21.99 per person for AYCE on the AYCE list
Taste: Some of the fish had a nasty taste as if it were a bit old… such as the scallops. ALSO an important part to note is that… they have a HUGE rice portion on their sushi. Ive had sushi all over the places in California and Las Vegas. however seen nothing similar to this place. The rice portion is so big. if you eat like 3 pieces its similar to eating a FULL bowl of rice. while other places i visited had rice portions a length of my pinky finger, so please be aware and order LITTLE BY LITTLE. Miso was also very bland, it just tasted like water with miso inside.

Ive been a fan of mido for a while, not because of their food but because of the fast quick service.
But this past week, when i visited will be the last time i will ever go here…
First i walk in with my son who is now 11 months old.
Stood there by the door for a while until someone i asked how many… I asked for a table for 3 and a baby. Which normally mean highchair. I was told to sit in a empty table by the wall.
I sat down. After alittle over 15 mins, no high chair, no water, no menu… I admit the place was busy and packed. But that is no excuse for not even looking at the customer and asking for a drink.
Another 10 mins or so passed, i finally got the highchair and got to order drink. Not hard, hot tea and water.
Hot tea came by another waitress but no water…
Even after my dates came, we waited another 20mins or so to order!
I got to the restaurant at 7 and got to order at 8:10ish!
Not only that, we never got miso, salad or edamame which is included in the all you can eat.
I asked for the soup twice for my son, nope… No soup. The sushi arrive and we ate most of that since we waited so much!
Then she gave us the check no questions asked… Really? You wanna take our money after non existent service?
I will not be going to mido ever again.

Don’t let the four stars fool you.
This restaurant is just wrong. I went to this place today during my 7 hours trip from California to Arizona.
First of all this is owned by Korean. There is no one in this restaurant speaks a single Japanese word. But that’s not the problem. When it comes to costumer service and food, you literally want to stab yourself with the chopsticks. The waitress rushed us to take order, and she came three times in less than 15 minutes.
After ordering the food, they just drop the plate on the table. Since the soups and salad was free, I won’t complain about it, but I have to say they taste horrible. The sushi was so poorly made that they even forgot the most essential ingredient: the rice vinegar. Yes the sushi was half off, but I didn’t expect the quality of the sushi half off. Of all the sushi place I went to, this restaurant is the only one has no idea they are doing the sushi wrong.
Then here comes the big play of Mido sushi’s costumer torturing game. I have never had such a boring Tepan chicken. There is no caramelization on 360 degree views of the chicken breast cubes. Yes, chicken freaking breast cubes! The most boring part of chicken ever. And they cost me $ 16 just for that huge chunk of tasteless bird. I beg you please change the name if the food you are cooking is not the dish on the menu.
Thank you for worsening my already 7 hours tiring trip.

Best sushi in Phoenix! Pancho and his wife are the most welcoming of owners and Pancho is an incredible sushi chef! My husband and I are addicted. Their prices are amazing and they don’t skimp on the fish. Happy hour prices allow you to be regulars without breaking the bank. We just looove this place. Beats sushi brokers, ra, blue wasabi hands down.

I like everything at this place EXCEPT for CHICKEN TERIYAKI. Don’t expect to see grill marks on your chicken. They said that’s because they grill their chicken over a «foil». Chicken was dry.

Came here while visiting family in buckeye.
Food: the sushi was good. I wouldn’t recommend the deep fried stuff, too greasy. The sashimi was ok, I’ve had fresher. The fresh cut rolls were pretty good I recommend the usual popular ones like California, Philadelphia, rainbow roll etc.
Service:when we first got there it was pretty empty. Maybe 3 other couples. We got seated in the corner of the restaurant near the bar so I figured Oo awesome were close to the sushi bar, that means we’re getting our food quicker… Not.
We ordered the first round and it took about 20 minutes to get it to our table (keep in mind there were only 3 other couples. We did 3 rounds and between each round it was a 20 – 25 minute wait. It got busier as time went on but the long wait seemed ridiculous.
And that’s all I have to say about that.

Came here to meet a friend, he was late but we were sat right away and served flavorless salad and miso soup. We didn’t see a waitress again for 15 minutes and the place was empty.
We decided to go ahead and order, never got a refill on our hot tea until the meal was over and she came to collect our plates. The sushi was OK, not bad but certainly not amazing. It took a while for it to come out, and again, empty dining room.
As the dining room filled up we waited a good 35 minutes after eating to see a check. In fact the two waitresses in the room kept walking right passed us without a glance.
A bit of a drive from central Phoenix so I can’t say we’ll be coming back.

Who would have thought that you could get delicious sushi made with fresh, flavorful fish in the middle of the desert? Not me… until I went to Mido Sushi.
I’ve been making the pilgrimage here for several years and each time it’s been consistently good. All-​you-​can-​eat sushi, made to order, with a variety of different rolls included along with soup, salad, edamame — and sashimi and ice cream for dessert if you request them.
For non-​sushi eaters (poor things), they do a great job with tempura, gyoza, and teriyaki chicken and beef. They also have a wide variety of drink specials (sake bomb for $ 6.00!).
The staff is efficient and friendly. And if it’s someone’s birthday, the disco ball gets lit up to celebrate!

Compare to others places I’ve been to, this is one of the worst, they give you free miso soup and salad but they are bland, both cold and tasteless. The sushi falls behind too. Save your money and go to Teharu down the street

This place is just wonderful. I have a friend who’s recommended we all go there many times. Usually when you think «sushi buffet’ I think of the other places that service sushi and stick it under a lamp. Not my cup of tea.
We show up, they sit us quickly and bring out the drinks, soup and edimame. We all agree we’re here for the all you can eat and begin to load up the order slip. Shortly after, they bring out this boat with all sorts of sushi.
We ate until we were nearly exploded. It was a delight!

I’ve been going to Mido since 2009 maybe, and I’m just now remembering to do our long-​term relationship justice with a proper review. Whenever I think to grab a hometown bite, Mido immediately comes to mind.
Mido has really been there for my formative foodie years, seeing me grow from an unversed teenage eater with an unhealthy exclusive inclination towards Las Vegas rolls into a sashimi fiend that can pick up a table with a pair of chopsticks. In all seriousness though, Mido was my first introduction into AYCE sushi and is one of the very few places that I can frequent without a smidgen of regret. I haven’t had a single bad experience here over the past few years and Pancho always puts out nothing but the best in quality.
If you’re doing AYCE, come hungry. Delving in can almost feel like a strategy-​based system («How am I going to eat all of this? Will I need to go a pant size up after this meal? Do I have an extra hour to spare for the food coma that’s sure to come? Was I sent here by God to eat all of this food?»), but just grab your faves early on and pace yourself. The Dragon, Orange, and Pancho rolls are pretty standard in my orders and never fail to impress. Pancho’s even sent us a boat of just sashimi on occasion which, while indulgent, has really solidified my love for all things sushi.
I’m surprised to be reading up on a few mixed reviews on this place, since I’d be hard pressed to find another place in the valley that offers a dining experience with the same quality in food and service as Mido. Most definitely in my top 5 favorite places in Zona, if not anywhere.

One of my favorite Sushi spots considering Mido has an all you can eat option for just over $ 20. No Sushi conveyor belt here. The rolls are made as you order. A small side salad, miso soup and an appetizer option of sashimi, gyoza, or mixed vegetable tempura. The entire meals ends with a scoop of ice cream (green tea ice cream: my personal fave). Who can say no to that!

If you’re starving and up for a big meal but want to eat in style. This sushi restaurant is the place to be. You have a few selections of appetizers, lunch, dinner entrees and dessert.
But the real reason why you really want to come here is for their all you can eat sushi. They have a wide and very delicious selection of nigiri and sushi rolls. They also have happy hour. When your here at this place is comfortable and feels homie.
I Love this resraurant that much that I’ve been here soo many times to satisfy my sushi cravings. Matter of fact this would be my 5^th year coming and going to Midooooo!

Probably one of the best places to grab some Japanese rolls and sushi here in Phoenix. I rarely enjoy rolls and sushi in this desert but this joint was decent to get your fix.

I’ve been coming to Mido for years… Maybe almost 10 years? Have they been around that long? Yikes… Okay, Definitely at least like 7? I think… lol… It is a good deal for All You Can Eat. The price was raised from $ 20 to 22 now, but sashimi, gyoza, tempura, edamame, sushi, and ice cream are included. Is it the highest quality sushi in town? No. But is it pretty good/​decent? Yes. They have a decent happy hour if you aren’t interested in eating more than $ 20 worth of sushi. They also have a full menu if you or people in your group do not want sushi.
They do put carrots in a few sushi rolls, which I found to be odd, but I just ask them not to put carrots on anything and is cool.
If you go during a busy time or a large group, service can be slow. But I usually go for an early dinner, so it works out for me.

$ 64 and change. That is how much all the sushi I enjoyed here would cost… IF I had not done the all you can eat. $ 22 and a very large menu including several types of nigiri. There is no limit to how much nigiri you get with the exception being one order of eel per person. Also you must eat the rice, not just the fish, and you also get either tempura or gyoza included. When you arrive you get a small salad, a miso soup and some edamane. Have been here 4 or 5 times now and have always gotten good service, quality sushi, and left full and happy. Here is what I got my most recent trip
Round1: Salmon, tuna, white toro, masago, eel, and a Vegas roll.
Round 2: Yellowtail, snapper, and albacore as well as a CA top Rainbow roll, and a haha roll.
The rolls were okay but honestly the star of the show is the nigiri. White toro is my favorite. Will I be back? Of course I will!

I’ve been to Mido twice now trying the All-​you-​can-​eat sushi option as well as the normal a la carte offerings. After trying the AYCE option I think its a decent but pricey option. For $ 28 including tip you get wave after wave of a wide variety of sushi/​nigiri/​sashimi options they have as well as hot tea. If you choose this route I recommend the Mido roll and the Dragon rolls as they were ones that stood out from the generic other rolls we tried. Spicy jalapeño yellowtail was disappointing as the yellowtail was a mix of mayo, sriracha, and lackluster fish. The nigiri here was disappointing as well as the ones here are an example of quantity over quality. Do note that you won’t be getting some of the better stuff they have when you order from the AYCE model.
A la carte I had a better experience as I chose the soba sushi dinner combo. The spicy tuna donburi and soba that I received for around $ 18 was massive as well as tasty with each entrée coming out in one of those giant bowls they use for Phở or Bibimbap. My dining compatriots got the ramen and sushi/​unagi and their bowls were just as big. (Though looking at the online menu I can’t seem to find this amazing combo of food)
Sorta funny that some previous reviewers said this place is an all-​japanese restaurant… Place is full Korean owned lol (Which is why you’ll see more fusion rolls and not some of the Japanese staples like the negiyama roll)
So yeah decent food that will fill you up and one of the few places in Phoenix that will do AYCE sushi.

Location: it is located in a huge plaza with plenty of parking. The restaurant is relatively clean and organized. You can either seat on tables or the sushi bar.
Service: Their service is pretty good. We ordered all you can eat sushi. Waitress checked on our order at least 5 times to see if we wanted to order more or not. When you need some things — such as refill for tea or extra napkins, they will not avoid eye contact and get you what you need asap.
Food: for approx $ 23 per person, you can eat different variety of sushi. The meal includes edamame, miso soup and small salad followed by as many rolls as you can handled. We stuff our face until we couldn’t eat anymore. The Unagi sushi was absolutely delicious and is the must ordered item. The tuna hand roll wasn’t my favorite but I am glad that I’ve tried it. The rest of the rolls are fairly decent.
Rating: overall, I think the quality of sushi are pretty good for $ 23. I will definitely come back here again.
