Came here while on a business trip. We received a paper menu with no prices and were confused but just ordered what we wanted. Nobody told us it was unlimited sushi so when we got the bill we were confused and then we're explained that it is unlimited. BOY - DID WE ORDER SUSHI THAT NIGHT once we knew the deal was unlimited, we got so much food and it was all pretty good. It had a very cozy and local vibe. One other thing to note if you are not from the area and visiting, this is a completely BYOB establishment meaning if you want a drink, you have to bring your own. (Which is awesome, but if you didn't know - no alcohol for you!) read more

One of my favorite AYCE sushi places! I used to go to the Edison and Princeton location and when I moved to Somerville and learned there was a Sushi Palace down the street, I had to go visit! I'm a huge fan! I love the sushi roll choices here and the staff are so nice! I prefer to go to Sushi Palace over Kumo Sushi always! On days I'm not up for AYCE, I do takeout from them as well! read more

Glad that they have indoor dining and AYCE back. For a while, they were take out only (understandably) which meant that you could only purchase items a la carte but the AYCE is worth it! Their kitchen items are good. We always get the calamari, kani salad, pork or chicken katsu, and various tempuras (sometimes the batter on the tempura can be a bit on the thicker side). Their sashimi is good quality and their sushi is made well. My favorite roll is the Edison roll which is a spicy tuna/shrimp tempura roll with spicy crab on top. Definitely would recommend. Service is fast. The place is a decent size but I can see there being a wait on the weekends. When I went, it was a weekday and we were seated quickly. The only thing is that they use a lot of rice so it fills you up pretty quickly but everything tastes really good. Also, there is a surcharge if you don't finish your food so be mindful of what you are ordering! read more

We really like the food, but we've had to create a process to enjoy it. They package the hot items in the same bag as what should be cold items. So we always put the cold things in the fridge and allow extra time to get the food cold again, which of course affects the quality unfortunately. It seems this problem could be solved by simply putting the hot items in a separate bag. I've requested this every time, to no avail. Sometimes it's more frustrating g than others, and I've started cooking my own edamame to have with the meal to avoid ordering a hot items. I can't mandate everyone into my family into ordering only cold things though so, the problem persists. They also are stingy with the soy sauce, including only one serving for clearly 3 orders, so we have to divvy up the sauce because we all like differing amounts of wasabi. I will have to find another place with equally good food somehow. Any recommendations are appreciated! read more

Half of the people at my table ordered all you can eat sushi. At least 5 different workers consistently hovered around our table and would stare at our table and our food... the entire time we were there. I can understand a little enforcement behind following the all you can eat rules but this was horrendous. Uncomfortable environment, completely unwelcoming. Felt as though we were being scrutinized the entire time. And on top of all that, the sushi tasted like they got it from the dumpster behind the local 7-Eleven. read more

Came here for the first time on a Friday night for dinner party of three and the wait was a little more then 30 minutes. They have an all you can eat menu which is $23.95 pp on the weekends Fri dinner through all day Sunday. The other nights it's $2.00 less pp. We looked over the little paper menu sheets that you fill out yourself in pen and send off with the server. We ordered a bunch of different things as apps. We started with some seaweed salads and I had the most delicious Kani salad, very delicious. We also ordered some shumai, Gyoza, lumpia, teriyaki chicken, tofu teriyaki, crispy calamari, fish katsu, and seafood udon. All is served in small portions for the table to share. Then onto the sushi... we ordered a few different rolls to try our favorites were the Edison roll, and the Softshell crab. The others we had were also very tasty. For dessert we had ice cream and fresh fruit which happened to be half an orange. Overall very happy with our dinner... my only issue was when the check came the total was $70 something and my fiancé gave me $100.00 bill and asked me to pay the check while he stepped outside. The server opened the check holder and saw the $100 and asked if I wanted change... I thought to myself of course I want change are you kidding me. I mean I'm definitely not cheap but a 20% tip would have been just under $15.00 which is what I normally use as the minimum tip. So anyway she brought the change back and I left an appropriate tip in the holder and as we were getting ready to leave she actually came to the table opened the check holder and actually spread the bills out to count the tip right in front of us... I just thought to myself how rude, very bad manners... I guess the tip was satisfactory because she then closed the check holder and walked away. Other then that we were very happy with the food... I'll just make a mental note to not use cash next time... read more

Great place to take your hungry 20 year old too, has a diverse sushi, soup, salad, some shumai, tempura, spring roll, noodle & teriyaki items. Sushi doesn't disappoint, comes out fairly quickly, not as neat or as diverse as other local sushi places but hey this is all you can eat so you get what you pay for and then some. Staff are attentive & friendly. read more

Extremely rude. They did not like the amount of tip I gave them so they CHASED ME as I left the restaurant. I paid my bill in full and they felt what I left was unsatisfactory. I explained that it was what I felt they deserved and she wouldn't let me leave until I charged $5 onto my card. I was one person eating, not a large group. did not stay long. EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional. they always hustle you out of the restaurant too. Will not return when there are kinder spots in Somerville read more

Very rude customer service and food was average. Wouldn't go next time. There are better sushi places in the town to try. read more

The all you can eat sushi is one of the best I've ever had. They have such a huge selection & have great appetizers too! The only downside is that the seating is too jammed. When I was sitting at our table, you could bump elbows with the people at the table next to you. But, if you go during the week it's not as crowded so you can enjoy your food in a great environment! read more

Food is super fresh, tasteful and portions are really nice sized. Service if professional, quick and courteous. The ambiance is fitting, temperature is nice and smells really nice inside. First time bring here but definitely will come back. We moved to NJ 6 months ago and it is nice to find a great sushi spot we will come back to. The staff is doing a great job with the service, quickness and the freshness as well as the quality of the food. We are thankful that we discovered this spot and definitely will be coming back soon! read more

I'm not sure why Sushi Palace doesn't have a higher rating. This place has good sushi and the all-you-can-eat kitchen items, sushi (even specialty rolls), and ice cream for ~$30 is a steal. My go-tos here are the spicy seaweed salad, vegetable udon noodle soup, and the edison and butterfly rolls. The service is quick and you can be in and out (very stuffed) within an hour. read more

Love coming here. All you can eat sushi for less than $25 pp. fast very efficient service and many food options in addition to sushi like dumplings, udon, seafood salad and even green tea ice cream. Also a byob. read more

Had the spicy seaweed salad (good but not spicy) red snapper (small plate portion), squid, and a variety of rolls. Service was average, drinks came in cans so BYOB might be best. Food quality was slightly above average, seems fresh. The quantity was substantial, helpful when menu indicated how many in each order. Friday night was busy for the restaurant but the wait wasn't long. Great location since there is so much to do and walking around is very pleasant in that area. Parking is meter or the parking lot. Did not bring the kids but there were other kids there. Noise level was loud so wouldn't worry about kids being loud. read more

The food was very good. The quantity of food was reasonable. The parking was horrendous.

This is not your typical "All You Can Eat" Sushi restaurant. Once you are seated a waitress takes your drink order and hands you a check off list and pen. On one of the lists you have the option of ordering Salads,Appetizers, Soups, Fry,Noodle Soup, Teriyaki, and Desserts. On the other list you check off your Sushi/ Sashimi along with Maki AKA Hand Rolls and Special Rolls. You just decide how many pieces of each you want and put that number next to the items marked. Some Sushi comes 6 PC's to and order. The trick is not to over order all at once because their policy is not to waste food and you will be charged for over ordering. That being said you can place an order as many times as you want. This is what I did and it worked out perfectly. The sushi/ sashimi is very fresh so much better then many other sushi buffet "all you can eat " restaurants. I love that they have table service, and this is a BYOB place. I counted no less then 8 Sushi Chefs behind the counter making Sushi and many waitresses to serve. I was really impressed how fast the food comes. Usually a sushi restaurant you will be waiting at least 20 minutes or longer just for an order of sushi, not the case here.They get you in and out so they can turn over tables. this is in a very big place and the tables are close together. If you're looking for a place that's intimate and quiet and this is not the place for you! It is a bit noisy but the experience is always a good one. The staff is extremely friendly and nice and I never felt rushed. There's a wide variety on their menu to order from and if you don't like sushi there are other options. This place is kid friendly too. There is some street parking available, but I suggest parking in the lot a block away. This place is not wheelchair accessible. I started with and order of Chicken Yakatori. It was skewered chicken pieces with green and red peppers on it and very tasty. For the Sushi I ordered Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll, Eel Avocado Roll, Salmon, and Spicy Tuna along with Salmon Sashimi. All my sushi was really delicious. For dessert I had Red Bean Ice Cream. It was really creamy and taste great. I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner here and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves sushi, but doesn't wanna pay hundreds of dollars. read more

Food is decent but the server asked multiple times to leave a higher tip even when she was already given a more than generous amount. Won't be back soon (except for tonight it's boys night and I'm on a budget) read more

Very good quality for all you can eat. I've been to a couple of their locations and this one is my favorite. Crazy roll is very good. Also like the shumai and gyoza. We always end up spending a lot time there and never feel rushed. read more

Solid place in the area for AYCE sushi. The food is made to order so it is guaranteed going to be fresher than your typical sushi buffet where the food is sitting out for who knows how long. They offer cooked kitchen items such as teriyaki and tempura as well as your specialty rolls, sushi and sashimi. read more

I've been coming here for almost the past 10 years. Little has changed! In summary: This is good quality sushi (7.5/10) for an AMAZING price. I usually do the all you can which is about $23 for unlimited, made-to-order sushi along with various soups, appetizers, and small finger foods. For kids 10 and under its $13. I will also say, that while I am not vegan, my family is and there are many options here for them. Especially with the all you can eat. They also have a great lunch special that comes with miso soup, a small salad and two ($10) or three rolls ($13). While it's not top tier quality, for the amount of money you're paying the service, food quality, and ambiance is very good. It's even BYOB! I'll definitely keep coming! read more

Wanted to write an updated review since reopening a few months ago. We have been back a few times since reopening and I've got to say I think it's even better than before. Although much of the front of the house (servers/sushi chefs) staff is not the same as it was prior to being shutdown it does not detract from anything. The servers are still very friendly and responsive and I actually think the nigiris and rolls are a bit better now than they were previously. By this I mean there is less rice in the nigiris and more filling in the rolls. The sashimi is still just as good as it always was as well (mmmmm salmon). The plating is not the prettiest, but the food comes out so quickly. Some AYCE places take 30mins+ to get a plate of food so sacrificing some visual appeal for quickness is fine by me. The ambience is still lively and crowded when going during dinner time, but again, that is something you either like about this place or not, and we like it. Overall its a clean and fun place to go for a nice sushi meal. I would 100% recommend it to anyone in the area. read more

This restaurant has a few location and I prefer this location over others! The food comes out fairly quickly. I highly recommend the all you can eat sushi and kitchen because it's definitely worth it ! I mean who doesn't love endless sushi ? or edamame :) Make sure you eat all of what you order because they will charge you for what you don't eat! They are also BYOB!! Keep in mind that they close for an hour at 3! They seemed a little annoyed that we were there after their switch from lunch to dinner. The service is amazing and the food always delicious. I will definitely continue to return to this location! read more

I freakin LOVE this place - always a gem for whenever I'm home. The sushi is delicious - all the food here is, really. Just know that they always do all-you-can-eat, which is $22.95 on weekdays. They have such a large selection of food, both maki and kitchen apps/small plates. They also have a wide variety of sushi and tempura you can get, as well as entrees like noodle soup and teriyaki! I would come here with a big group and share plates. It's also BYOB, which is a huge plus, and in a great location! I ordered three different vegetable rolls here and my boyfriend ordered two fish rolls. We loved all of it. Also got edamame and seaweed salad, which was DELICIOUS! Also be aware that if you want fresh fruit for dessert, all you will get is an orange sliced with toothpicks in it! Not sure if that is always the case but we were definitely expecting more. The ambiance here is really nice and they have a fish tank. Today, I warned one of the staff that one of the fish didn't look good (he seemed to be stuck in something; he was trying to swim upside down for about 30 minutes) and I wasn't sure what to do because the staff did nothing about it when I told them. I hope they were able to rescue the poor thing. read more

There are several locations for Sushi Palace and we've been to all of them. The one in Somerville is our favorite but it is also the furthest away from us. I love coming to this one because of the cool ambiance. With its old wood plank floors, high ceilings with exposed pipes and it's loft style space, it feels like I'm dining in a restaurant in New York City. This is all you can eat sushi. Two sheets of paper will be given once you are seated. One sheet is mostly items like salads, soups, appetizers, skewer items, and udon noodles. The other sheet is all sushi, sashimi, rolls and hand rolls. You can continue to order after everything has come. Here are some of our favorites: - Spicy Seaweed Salad - Kani Salad - Age Tofu - Edamame - Spicy Salmon Sashimi - Avocado & Eel Hand Roll - Salmon Skin Hand Roll Some items that I do not recommend: - Soups - Chicken Teriyaki (it was dry) - Croquette (didn't taste too potato-y) A surcharge may apply if you don't finish so don't waste any food. There is plenty of street parking and tons of other wonderful restaurants, cafes, and shops around. Definitely take a walk around the area, there's lots to discover. read more

Sushi Palace - Somerville - Sushi Bars Near Me - Somerville, New Jersey

was there recently with a friend for lunch. No menus with pricing, just cards to fill out for your order. Couldn't get a server's attention when needed something. We asked for a box to take the extra food home and was notified that that it would cost an additional $5 for the box as the food was eat there only. No where is this posted. The check for two people for lunch was over $65. For that outrageous price, we should have been given a take home box for leftovers as WE PAID for the food already. Instead, we wasted good food by having them throw out the leftovers. At that price, service and dining policy, we will not be going back again. Very disappointed. read more

Sushi palace is a place I usually go to for special occasions or a big get together with friends. The sushi is good. Not the most amazing out there, but for how much sushi they are cranking out to the all you can eat guests. It's crazy how much they make. The service is "quick and dirty", but they get you what you need. They usually get the all you can eats sheets like 90% right. But considering how much is going on, I think that's quite fair. The main negative is how crazy this place gets. The front cant hold many people, and they're bursting out the front door, with no direction and minimal help. We had a reservation and had to wait 40 min! However, with an establishment that does all you can eat, tables tend to hang out, and it shifts times easily. Grab some wine(its byob), some friends, a little patience and have a good time. read more

The food was fresh, the service was quick, and the tea was hot. The only thing is my wife ask if they have Jasmin tea. The waitresses looked at me in the eye and said they had green tea, then she tried to say its Japanese green n start touching me. She totally ignored my wife! We were going to give 5 stars, but for this unpleasant encounter, we will only give 3. Sorry, the rest of the people seem to work hard. Why touch your customers???? Obnoxious! read more

I've been to the Sushi Palace in Iselin, Kingston, Somerville, and I have to say the Somerville location is my favorite. First, out of all 3, the decor at the Somerville location is the best. Second, I've noticed that when we request for 30 pieces of salmon (yes, I said 30, and yes, I know, we eat ALOT of salmon), the other locations tend to doubt my capability to eat them all, and skimp on the quantity, by giving half the amount we ask for, so at the other locations, I feel like we have to ask for 50 pieces in order to receive close to the amount we order. At Somerville, I was expecting the same, so I put down a massive order for salmon, and a bunch of rolls. The manager came over to me, and asked me if my friend and I would be able to finish the whole plate of food, and I assured him we would. When the plate of food arrived, not a single piece of fish or sushi was missed. As promised, my friend and I demolished the whole thing, and left incredibly stuffed and happy. read more

I am a vegetarian and it is very rare ti find places to find variety of sushis for vegetarians. Sushi palace has tons of vegetarian options and that makes this place my favorite sushi place.

This is my new favorite sushi place! They have an all you can eat option for $30! Its insanely delicious and everything including salad, noodles, etc is on the menu. The sushi is pretty fresh, and they also have a ton of vegetarian options! You typically have to wait 15-30 mins for a table over the weekend - so recommend making a reservation. read more

The restaurant is packed tight with many tables & because they have all you can eat menu, you gotta come prepared for long wait especially on the weekends.

I tried out their Chicken teriyaki bento box. Pretty disappointed. The chicken was hard and tasted old. The teriyaki sauce didn't taste that good and slathering the dish with chilli sauce didn't help. Ended up leaving most of the meal.

Just want to give an update after so long and so many changes, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, it's probably the first time we ordered delivery from sushi palace! We've always like the place before the pandemic, and the quality hasn't changed. We ordered delivery, because it's convenient to have it ready for us while we are out and about. The orders were well packed, the delivery was timely and without a mess. There is not much more to say other than that we will order from it again. read more

Sushi was good and even though it wasn't busy the service was slow with a lot of servers just talking with themselves. I am not sure if this was because the sushi wasn't ready or because they could not be bothered. It is not cheap so come hungry! read more

The AYCE menu is very diverse and I actually liked the food. Ambience could use a little work. I felt my neighbors breathing down my neck because the tables were so close together. Also what shocked me is that the service is subpar and the restaurant itself was very quiet. Also... when has tipping culture gotten this serious? My friend and I were chased by an employee after leaving the restaurant to tip more than 18% between the two of us. I'm sorry y'all if you don't agree with me here. We felt very uncomfortable and have never been treated in this way. It's safe to say that there are WAY better AYCE restaurants around this area to spend your money on. read more

The 1 star is for the food only. In the first 5 minutes of sitting down we were asked at least 3 times (no exaggeration) if we were ready to order. They took plates off our table that's still had food on it. The server then tried to give it back to me when I said I wasn't done. This was AFTER she placed it in someone else's dirty bowl. Disgusting. I will never come back here nor will I recommend this place to anyone. There's plenty of other sushi places in Somerville that are just as good and you won't get rushed out. read more
