I know I am in the minority here but I am extremely disappointed in this particular Sushi Palace. We are avid sushi eaters, consuming sushi at least once a week. When we don't go to our regular place in Westfield we frequent Sushi Palace in Edison. When we heard that they opened a Sushi Palace close to our house we were so excited!
The location of this restaurant can't be beat, it is located in the main drag across from the train station. The restaurant is in the basement of a building, you can take the elevator downstairs press "B" and it will lead you straight there.
We ordered our regular items and tried a new roll this time. The roll was called Jersey Girl, and words cannot begin to describe how disgusting it tasted. As a child, my parents would give me orange flavored cod liver oil to help build my immunity. No matter what I ate, I could never get that taste out of my mouth and I would have fish burps..the Jersey Girl roll brought back that disgusting fish taste. Even our regular roll the Dragon, was done wrong. The chef put some sauce on it, that tasted like rancid fish.
Anyone who eats high quality raw fish will tell you it doesn't taste fishy,but rather has a subtle taste with buttery texture..almost melts in your mouth. But every roll that included fish here had an overpowering taste, and the texture was off.
Appetizers were not as good as the same appetizers served at the one in Edison. The rolls were sloppy and kept falling apart. The waitress kept forgetting to refill our tea, and we weren't given oranges we usually are.
We ordered a total of 6 rolls shared between two people, our usual but we couldn't eat what we usually eat. Being patrons of the Edison location, we knew we would be charged for any left overs but we couldn't stomach finishing the rolls here.
We left so confused because we love Sushi Palace in Edison, for the price it is a fantastic value so we were expecting the same level at the one in Summit. My husband made a great observation that the rent in a strip mall in Edison is much lower than the rent in a prime location in Summit so to cut cost it is possible they cut quality.
On a side note, the bathrooms leave a lot to be desired. In terms of handicap accessibility, the ramp going up the bathrooms doesn't have a hand rail on either side. The bathroom door is difficult to open, it is not a level type knob but the circle knobs so individuals who are quadriplegic or have minimal hand dexterity would not be able to open it. In the men's bathrooms the handicap stall door swings in not outward, so be prepared to do your business with spectators. The vanity extends so far out that it is difficult to reach the faucet , and if you want some soap well good luck because it is located against the wall with the mirrors and it is not automatic, my husband almost fell out of his chair trying to reach the soap. As far as the woman's bathroom, we noticed the same discrepancies in addition to the fact that our shoes kept sticking to the floors..eww!
Overall we did not have a positive experience here. I sorry to say I rather travel farther to the other Sushi Palace than to this one.
As far as sushi buffets go, this one is on the top of the list. The staff was extremely friendly and seemed eager to assist in any way possible. We loved how it was BYOB and they brought us a bucket of ice to keep our sake cold. Everything was presented nicely and the sashimi wasn't cut up into little cubes like how most ACYE places do. I completely stuffed myself until I felt sick! I wish we had an establishment like this in Queens, NY.
Came here this past Friday and it was absolutely spectacular! I'm usually very wary of AYCE places and although Sushi Palace performed to expectations, it really improved since the last time we were here. The service was quick and friendly, and the the sushi to rice ratio was much better than any other AYCE I've been to. The quality of the fish and kitchen food even improved from the last two times. We'll definitely be back as long as the quality keeps up! Good work, Sushi Palace!
So happy sushi palace is doing well and has opened its 4th restaurant!
I've loved Sushi Palace since it opened by me in Edison. We go pretty often…considering the affordable price and all you can eat option …you just can't beat it…especially in larger groups. Weeknights is $21 which is such a steal for all you can eat and made to order from your table. It totally beats a sushi buffet where everything is just sitting out and you have to stand and fight for what you want. Here, it's casual and carefree. You get to really enjoy your meal!
It's also BYOB….huge plus! I can't say enough how much I love this.
I brought my mom to the new Summit restaurant for her birthday and the manager brought us a free salmon appetizer and a fried ice cream for free to try (not on the all you can eat menu). It was such a nice gesture to make us feel special on the occasion.
As always I enjoyed the endless tempura (I love shrimp and taro) and salmon sashimi haha. But of course we also had seaweed salad, noodles, and lots of other menu items. The beef kushi was great as well.. It's like mini steak kebabs…amazing!
Thoroughly satisfied with my experience! Keep up the great work, Sushi Palace.

Just had a very nice introductory experience at the new spot in downtown Summit, Sushi Palace. I've read that this is a chain, but they give a good experience that doesn't make it feel as such…
It's downstairs in a somewhat corporate-looking building, which I automatically enjoy. It's secretive. It's alluring. It doesn't LOOK LIKE it has a sushi place in it — but there's Sushi Palace.
Kept well – modern, clean, and neat. Staff are very pleasant and attentive (+++).
+Appetizer:
House salad (lettuce, carrot, cucumber; ginger dressing). I'm a huge ginger dressing snob, but Sushi Palace has a nice offering. It's a creamier, almost mustard-like ginger, which was different than the usual tangy sauce I'm a fan of. But this was a nice change. Salad also came out quick, and it was $2.50!
+Sushi:
I did two rolls: Spicy Crab and Spicy Yellowtail. Both were very tasty. The spicy crab roll had a perfect texture – that somewhat fluffy one you're used to with this roll, but the flavoring and kick of gentle spice was solid. The spicy yellowtail was also really good — not OVERLY creamy with its texture, but Sushi Palace made sure you knew there was yellowtail in it with their make. Rice was really good and starchy (hate when rolls fall apart)
If I were you, and you're in town looking for some good sushi, take advantage of Sushi Palace's grand opening pricing. It's a bargain for some really good sushi. Hats off to the new guy in town — I'll be back again to see if it rivals my current town favorite in Jenny's (formerly Fujiayama)
My friend frequently raves about the Sushi Palace in Princeton so I was so excited to learn that they built one a few towns closer to my apartment! I came for dinner with my boyfriend on 8:30 last Tuesday and the place was quiet with only two filled tables there. I can imagine the place getting busier over the weekends. This spot is located on the bottom floor of a business building. Very clean and has ample seating.
Of course we went for the All You Can Eat dinner option and it's $20/ person on weeknights. Decent price for unlimited sushi and appetizers. Their rolls are pretty solid, and I especially enjoyed their beef teriyaki and also the mango sauce they featured on the side of the calamari and on top of the butterfly roll. Really good stuff!!
A huge plus is the friendly servers. They were super attentive. Overall, we really had no complaints and can't wait to return for some more AYCE!
