I used to enjoy this place, and this was my first visit in a while, and it has fallen off a cliff. Tuna sushi was clearly "gassed" tuna, obvious by its incredibly vibrant pink color...a practice where the fish is sprayed with carbon monoxide to keep it looking and smelling fresh well past its date. It's allowed by the FDA because it is "GRAS" - Generally Regarded as Safe. Except it is illegal in Canada, Japan, and the European Union. This fish was hi-lighter pink. The "wasabi" that was given was also the consistency of tapioca pudding and an ecto-cooler green. I'm not expecting real wasabi, but this is clearly the lowest quality (or homemade with food dye and horseradish) version available. I used to enjoy this place, but this was horrendous. read more

I went to Sushi Palace with my friends and it was my mistake for ordering only one roll while everyone else had the AYCE sushi I will definitely be getting the buffet option next time I go, hopefully sometime soon! There are many appetizer, sushi, rolls, and dessert options. Can't wait to eat here again! read more

Sushi Palace - Japanese Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

The perfect place for hungry sushi lovers! I normally go with a group of 6 and our first order includes ~80 salmon sashimi, ~20 eel sashimi, ~30 tuna sashimi, ~10 yellowtail sashimi, plus 3ish rolls. Tip: Ordering sashimi rather than rolls makes your experience more worth the price. The rice from the rolls fills you up much faster, so you can eat more if you order sashimi only! Their non-sushi menu is also pretty delicious. I especially like the seaweed and crab salads. Just don't eat too much from the non-sushi menu or else you won't have room for sushi! Overall, really fresh sushi for $23-$28 per person. Pro tip, if you go during the week, it's cheaper than on the weekend. read more

It is one of my go-to places. The food comes out at a decent amount of time. What I really love about the place is you can get sashimi included in the all you can eat price. My typical order: Miso soup 2x Seaweed salad Edamame 2 soft shell crab hand rolls 2 avocado salmon hand rolls 2 salmon skin hand rolls 20x salmon sashimi 4x eel sushi pieces Two strawberry scoops of ice cream All for the price of $27 (tax and 15% gratuity included) read more

All you can eat sushi was satisfying! For ~$23 you get to choose from a selection of specialty rolls, sushi, sashimi, appetizers. You can sample a variety of dishes at once and it's worth it. The quality of the fish tasted fresh, but I'm not a fish expert. There are non AYCE options too and if you go with friends not everyone had to choose the same option, but I think the AYCE gives the best bang for your buck! read more

My grandson's favorite. They are quick and take out is always ready when promised. They are kind enough to always ask which location you are picking up from. read more

Came here on a Tuesday with a group of three and honestly, this is the BEST sushi place you can find around the New Haven area! I've been here multiple times but it's been years since I've been to this location. They have outdoor seating so I highly recommend if you decide to dine here. The price is reasonable, the rolls are delicious, sashimi fresh, and I highly recommend at least take out to support your local business during these troubling times! We did all you can eat and have no regrets. read more

Amazing place, great food, service is always so nice :) sushi was INCREDIBLE! Highly recommend if you're looking for a good all you can eat.

Literally my favorite place to get sushi. for starters you get all you can eat for about 30 dollars which includes appetizers, sushi, and dessert. the service is always great, i've never had problems with any staff and they're very fast. the ambiance is also great, it's very calm and welcoming. great experience overall and i go very often! read more

Had a really great take out experience. Ordered numerous cooked and raw rolls and all of them tasted good. The portion size and quality were there for the money. Will continue to go here when I'm in the area. read more

Awesome place , great sushi, great atmosphere, and good food I would strongly recommend

Totally worth the drive and price for fish eaters. They are seating inside again. I got an assortment of fried things from the kitchen--all very small portions, and a large plate of salmon based sushi rolls. Daughter tried every vegetarian thing on the menu, kitchen items and rolls. She was satisfied, but the AYCE price is high for a vegetarian. Service quick and unobtrusive. They did forget two things we ordered but it was easily corrected. They do come over to make sure you want to order more items. Will certainly return. read more

ayce on a friday night was around 37 pp with tip which is not bad at all for an ayce. we did mostly nigiri and sashimi with a couple of rolls and appetizers. all of the appetizers were standard what you would expect. they have a mushroom soup here which is a little unique and it had an onion flavor to it. the broth reminded me of instant noodles which wasn't bad. we got a variety of different fish like salmon, tuna, albacore, escolar, and hamachi. we really enjoyed the escolar which is the white tuna it was really tasty and buttery. all of the other fish were pretty standard we didn't really enjoy the albacore it had a chewy taste to it. the rolls were also pretty good they were a little on the smaller side which was fine because we weren't looking to stuff ourselves with the rolls. the service was also really attentive and fast and the order process is really simple as well! read more

I ate here for lunch at around 12pm with my boss and I am telling you it's 7:45pm, I still have yet to eat cause I am satisfied and FULL. You will leave here wobbling like a pregnant woman, check your tires when you get home cause you will definitely have flattened the side you sit on and cancel any later food plans cause the food will last...a long time the prices aren't so bad it's all you can eat for like 25$ a person they want you to eat as much as you order possible or you'll be charged but that obviously isn't a problem for me lol the kani salad was so good I had two of them and the place is clean all over. You can't even smell the fish and it looks and taste so fresh it melts in your mouth. This is possibly the first sushi place o eat at and don't feel nauseous and sick after. kudos to Sushi palace, flattening fires one visit at a time hahaha read more

Very good sushi with unique ingredient combos and quick service for lunch on a Friday. We stopped in here on our roadtrip to Maine. Needed a place that had gluten-free options for me, so sushi is a good fallback. We ordered a bunch of things to go: Spring rolls - Meh. Nothing special. Tiger roll - Good. Godzilla roll - Weird but good. We have never seen melted cheese on a sushi roll but Alex liked it. Kuchi special roll (no crunch) - Great base roll to combo with something else that is spicy. Butterfly roll (no crunch) - Loved the mango and sweet chili sauce! Great and unique combo for sushi. The cost was about what we normally pay in Savannah for specialty rolls but it's cheaper to dine in. Next time: I'll check out some more of their unique ingredient combinations. read more

My all time favorite AYCE spot. Worth every penny every time. Sushi is fresh and tasty, same for appetizers. Since COVID hit, I have really appreciated the to-go option where you can choose either 25 or 50 pieces and 3 or 8 appetizers respectively. No other sushi spot in CT comes close!! read more

We'd moved to the area a few months ago and had been searching for a new favorite sushi restaurant when a co-worker recommended Sushi Palace. We went on a Saturday night, and were very surprised when we saw the storefront-- it's very unassuming for the glowing review we'd gotten! But once we'd been seated and got our first plate, we saw exactly why that review was so good. Oh. My. Goodness. Each roll was delicious, well-made, and beautifully presented. Also, the service was very fast, a must for our family with a one-year old! We all enjoyed our meal, which ranged from sashimi for my husband to veggie rolls for our little one. Really incredible and we've wasted no time in telling other friends how much we love Sushi Palace. Will be back soon! read more

This place is small but it's so worth the trip and the money. I was skeptical at first but after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a shot. I am very happy we did come here. Omg! The food here is delicious. Very good quality. Especially the eel. My husband said he loved the tuna. It practically melted in his mouth. I love how they put all the sushi in one big dish. When we went it, it was busy but the wait was attentive enough for everyone. There wasn't that much of a wait for the food either. Oh and make sure you call and make reservations. We got lucky to make reservations that day when we did. Otherwise you will be waiting for a while. We will be coming here again soon. read more

Delicious food. Had the AYCE sushi and it was quite yummy. For appetizers, had the sweet potato tempura, which had a great crispy exterior. The salmon was nice and melted in your mouth. I also enjoyed the tuna and eel. The calamari roll and special roll was also good read more

This was so fabulous. We took a bus here, and would do it again in a heartbeat. Everything was incredible! Perhaps they have recently changed the staff from some of the former reviews (or just better staffing in the summer?) because our waiter was terrific! Food came to us unbelievably fast--sitting at the sushi bar, we could see how quickly they made the dishes--and the server was very prompt and polite about every request. We're coming back. (Edit for context: we've been to 5 or so sushi buffets, so that's what we're comparing to) read more

Sushi Palace - I forget which rolls are in this picture--shrimp tempura, lobster special, tuna and yellowtail sashimi, and more. So yum! - Japanese Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

First time at sushi palace, parking is sparse & very tight but got lucky with a spot. Small dining room & the volume got extremely loud by fellow inconsiderate diners but if you focus on the sushi you will tone out all the background noise. The level of customer service leaves a lot to be desired if you want a server to chit chat however they are speedy to place your order & kept over drinks filled. Sushi was great, a lot of selection, kitchens items are more of an appetizer feel but great to try in between sushi courses. Too much imitation crabmeat for us but just order without. Give it a try you won't regret it! read more

The parking isn't the best and it can sometimes have a wait on Saturday evenings but it's worth it. For $23 it's all you can eat for both kitchen options, sushi and dessert.

The service is quick and rolls are so delicious!! read more

Sushi Palace in Hamden definitely ranks as one of the best AYCE sushi restaurants in CT. I've eaten here with small and large groups before & have always gotten all of the food that I ask for very quickly as well. They take reservations so if you have a larger group, be sure to let them know ahead of time. The place isn't that big so if you come on a busy night, you'll have to wait to be seated with out a reservation. The quality of the sashimi, rolls, and kitchen food has been consistently fresh every time I come & the wait staff is usually really attentive. Always order the special tuna 'pizza', it's absolutely delicious! Eel sushi is also a go-to for me, it's served perfectly warmed! The only downfall of the restaurant is its small parking lot which can probably fit around 6-8 cars. They say you can park along the road, which I've done twice now and didn't have any issues. read more

I am a big All You Can Eat fan and unfortunately in the town of Fairfield, the deal seemed non-existent. One day, I was craving and decided to use yelp to find an AYCE place. I am so happy I stumbled upon this restaurant and am actually upset that I didn't find this place sooner. The food quality warped me back to all the great AYCE places back on Long Island and I was in sushi heaven!! Definitely worth the drive, come here for some great quality AYCE sushi!! read more

All around , A great all you can eat sushi place! Great quality fish( cant speak for shellfish or arthropods 'slight allergy') and they always parse things well regarding to orders. Very clean and friendly environment. Definitely been here a handful of times and its always clean, chill ambiance. Parking seems to be quite available on the side. Hidden secret to the Dixwell st. Worth every dollar for all you can eat! read more

We like the items on the menu. Service is pretty good and food comes really fast. Specially for us with an impatient toddler that's a plus!

This is probably the only ayce sushi place I've ever been to where the food literally tastes like its from really good sushi restaurant. They managed to maintain really high quality for an ayce place which is pretty impressive. It only costs ~$21 per person. For sashimi, we ordered yellowtail, super white tuna, and salmon. All were really good and tasted super fresh. We saw that the sashimi slices were on the small side so we placed an order for 16 pieces of each and ate it all! Out of the 3 our favorite was the yellowtail. We also ordered a bunch of rolls and they were all really delicious and well prepared. read more

I typically don't like ordering takeout but I was in a rush. The sushi is amazing! Would be ordering from sushi palace again.

My family and I have been coming here for a couple of months now and it is hands down the BEST all-you-can-eat sushi place we've ever been to!! The sashimi/sushi is incredibly fresh and the food overall is amazing! I believe the price is fair (~$23 per person) and the quality of the food is great. My favorite thing from the menu is definitely the spicy crab salad. They also have the best green tea ice cream so make sure to get some! Highly recommend everyone to try this place!!! read more

My husband, 11-month old son and I had dinner here last night for the first time. Having read the reviews before we knew to go early and preferably not on the weekend to avoid the long lines. We arrived at 6 on a Tuesday night and had to park along a side street off of treadwell. Fortunately we were able to sit comfortably at a 4-person table right away. They took one of the seats away and brought a high chair for our son. Friendly and efficient staff brought our food. I thought the food was yummy. My husband thought it was good as well except something didn't agree with his fragile stomach. Let's just say that I pity anyone who followed after him in the bathroom. Ah well. Even so he came back and ate more. He's willing to give it a second try since I didn't get sick and no one else seemed affected. read more

I really don't like to give out 5-star ratings, so I wanted to come here a few more times to see if my opinion changed. This sushi is great - and I think the price needs to be where it is at (~$25 pp) in order to maintain the quality. It definitely does not taste like AYCE sushi. I feel like I haven't ordered anything off the menu that hasn't been delicious. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Sushi Palace - Panda painting watching you eat! - Japanese Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

The food and customer service absolutely earn this place 5 stars. When I placed my order, I mentioned that I have a gluten allergy, so she told me she would separate the eel my boyfriend was getting from the rest of the order because that contained gluten. Without prompting, she repeated my order back to me to make sure it was correct. The place doesn't look like much from the outside. The parking lot is a bit precarious and not easy to maneuver in, so next time I think I'll stick to street parking. I love the contraption that they built into the door for picking up orders. It has a little slot for their credit card machine, and a big area for the food to be passed through with a door that opens from inside the restaurant where the staff is. It was quick and safe/clean. The food alone was worth 5 stars. The rolls were substantially bigger than most places. No 1 inch wide rolls with mostly rice here. They were huge and stuffed. The fish was exceptional. So fresh. So soft that it was practically creamy. I would describe the tuna as "pillowy." The colors were beautiful and vibrant. The mango in my roll was ripe, and the avocado was perfectly ripe-- not underripe/hard and not brown. My boyfriend actually yelled "oh my God!!" when he bit into the eel sushi. He's never done that before. So good. Go here. We'll be back! read more

At first when our friends suggest we go there, we were a little leary. Strike 1, The name invokes a Chuck E Cheese, Pizza Pipes and Pandemonium, low quality/cheesy vibe. Strike 2, its a one price, all you can eat style. it invokes visions of warming pans, and crunchy rice and slippery fish. Strike 3, my wife is pregnant, we weren't sure what she could have at sushi restaurant. We decided to take a chance. We were both very pleasantly surprised. There was large variety of veggie rolls, tempura, and katsu, Includes soup and dessert options. The service system works pretty smooth. 1. You order your drinks. 2. You are given 2 "a la carte" slip you mark off the items you want, and the quantity you want. The first slip contains appetizers, tempura, katsu, teryaki, and desserts. The second sheet contains your sushi roll and shashimi options (and the list is quite extensive). What is really nice is you can choose whether you want standard rolls or hand rolls. 3. You hand them your slips and the food comes out as its ready (Prepared to Order), and they serve it family style. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until your nourished (There really efficient about taking care of your drinks, as long as you can flag them down.) What liked about was the veggie rolls weren't just an after thought. each nicely prepared, and had there own sauces. The rolls and sashimi appeared and tasted quite fresh. The katsu was crispy and the yakotori was expertly grilled. The green tea was Genmai style (roast brown rice), and well brewed. Each thing i tried was tastier than the next! Here's link to the menu: http://www.sushipalace.us A couple notes A. Its good to make mental note which dishes you ordered, be cause it becomes a free for all, because every thing looks good! B. The parking lot fills up pretty quick, so you make want park at KFC just before the restaurant. C. As they say on the menu "Its good food! Please don't waste it!" D. The restaurant also a regular menu that contains individual meals, but one price style is best value. Enjoy! read more

Sushi Palace - I was there! - Japanese Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

Ordered sushi from this restaurant through a delivery app. The food was soggy and looked very discolored and un-fresh even though it had only taken it about a half hour to reach me. I ate it anyways because I had already paid for it and was hungry. Did not even taste that good and it all had an unsettling texture. Immediately started feeling queasy after I finished eating and about an hour later my stomach (which is usually made of steel and can handle gross food) couldn't handle it anymore and I threw up. I guess that's what you get for sushi on the cheaper side. Please spend your money elsewhere. read more
