This time, we decided to get chicken and broccoli with the soy ginger sauce. We also got the basil beef. My sister ordered sushi! The beef and chicken dishes were super delicious, and I like how they put a ton of meat in these dishes. Sometimes I find places put a ton more veggies than meat, but there was a perfect amount of both. The restaurant is also very welcoming with great ambiance, and they really decorated for Christmas which was nice to see. The bathrooms are also super clean. The service here is also fast, and our waitress was timely and made sure to take care of us and check once we got our food. My family looks forward to coming back here again!

At least we came to your restaurant and paid for our food. The food was okay not the best and the restaurant itself was nice, but the attitude completely ruined the experience. The staff seriously need to work on how they treat customers. I would not recommend going here if this is how customers are treated for not leaving the amount they expect.

I haven't actively looked for a lot of new sushi spots over the past few years after I discovered…read moreKenko Sushi in Lincoln Park (which has gotten a little tedious with its ordering process/app that hasn't adjusted to the post-COVID world, though that's a story for another day), but this is a reminder not to rest on your laurels. This was a very pleasant surprise and has the potential to be a regular spot going forward. I came here with my chum last Saturday night for dinner. I'm not that familiar with the downtown Madison area but it was very easy to locate street parking within a block of the entrance. Interestingly, this building obviously housed a ye olde bank back in the day, but once inside, there was nothing left in the interior to suggest that past - a little disappointing they weren't able to preserve some of that history but I obviously know nothing about the back story there so grain of salt. In what ended up being a tremendous miscalculation, we ended up ordering four signature rolls to split and didn't come close to finishing them - we likely left close to half of the pieces on the plate (don't worry, they found a new home and became a secondary meal later on), which is definitely not a ding on them. Despite having hundreds of rolls in my life, calculating how quickly they'll fill me up remains a tedious work in progress. Anyway. Hopefully I remember all of these, but I believe the four rolls were the Bronx Bomber, Roe Roe Roe Your Boat (couldn't figure out if this one was a subtle political statement or not but I doubt it), Luck of the Irish and Paradise Cove. The Bronx Bomber was our favorite, and for me probably an all-time top three or so, which is saying something. It's deep fried, which I'm usually ambivalent about (sometimes by definition it's too heavy for me and takes away from the other flavors in the roll), and I was a little leery initially about the cilantro which I don't think I've encountered before in this world. Delicious and not overly fried. I brought it home thinking, oh, I can easily eat this tomorrow for lunch, and then I accidentally ate it all an hour later. Huge recommend. The other one I really loved was Paradise Cove, which had a ton of interesting vibes going on there - the diced salmon sounded a little odd but didn't end up being different from just normal salmon (I think I assumed it would be seared or something, which it definitely wasn't). There's multiple mayos, multiple fish and it's just very unique; that type of combo with so many ingredients risks being overwhelming and it was a perfect balance. The Luck of the Irish was just okay for me; my chum advocated for that one I think in honor of a certain recent holiday, and it includes cucumber, which is my least favorite sushi ingredient. Easy to get out (and I did push the pieces out before eating) but it a little bland. The Roe was my least favorite, and that was just a personal palate issue - for me, there was too much fish roe (I think I just figured out why it's called Roe Roe Roe Your Boat) on top which made it extra salty. But that's on me. Everything was fresh and plentiful, and that to me is the ultimate standard. It's rare that I'm over the moon about service when it took over half an hour to get the rolls - sushi places overall tend to have a quick turnaround time by definition, but Blue Wazabi was SLAMMED with to-go orders while we were there (the entire time, there were multiple customers waiting for their pickups). And also to be fair, we did not get mundane, normal rolls. While we waited, the staff literally filled up my water glass five times (I'd been hiking earlier in the day and was still trying to catch up) and never let the level get below 25%. I actually started paying attention to that, and I'm honestly not sure if I've ever been somewhere where they were that vigilant about it, especially given that they were very busy. Huge points though - if you don't have the ability to get the rolls over in a few minutes, intense hydration is a pleasant plan B. I might just fill up on Bronx Bombers next time, which as a Mets fan makes me a little uncomfortable but it is what it is.

I feel like I am generally a little snarky but I was really blown away by this all you can eat gem…read more I think I was in Summit for almost 6 months before I realized Sushi Palace existed and wasn't just an old sign. Seriously. You cannot see any sign of other than the sign. You go into a glass vestibule and down into the basement. Basement? Yes. It's a basement. Is it dark? Not really. Is the ceiling low? A little. But it's a big open space. You don't feel crowded. It's all you can eat and it's a big menu. A lot of choices. I was trying to be judicious. I came by myself so I didn't want to order anything that came with 6 pieces of the same thing. I ordered everything at once which is unnecessary. They bring you another round of blank ordering pages. I had the miso soup which was spectacular. I had the seaweed salad which was very good. And a good portion. The sashimi was a thick piece which was a little weird at first but excellent quality. I had one piece of sushi. You know to be honest I'm not sure that the piece I ate was one that I ordered. And I think one of the pieces I ordered I never received. But I'm not going to complain. I had every opportunity to order as much as I wanted. I had a Peking duck appetiser I really enjoyed in a little pancake. I could have happily eaten 10 of them. Barbecued octopus which was a little chewy. Probably my least favorite but still very good. I think coming with a group would be ideal so you could try more things. I didn't even break into the rolls or hand rolls. And I didn't try the chicken wings which is something I love. I didn't get dessert which consisted of several flavors of icecream or fresh fruit. When I go next time I will not order everything at once because it comes out as they finish it so I think this added to my confusion over what I had ordered and if I had received everything. Next time I will order it coursed out how I want it. And there will certainly be a next time. Really, really enjoyed it.

It took me a little while to decide since I wasnt expecting so many options, let alone the taka soecial menu, which lets you choose teo appetizers, two rolls and teo soecial rolls, which sounds like a great deal (we will be doing this next time!) What we did order, was the pork gyoza and the tuna tataki to start. Both were fantastic, and maybe the freshest tuna I have ever had. My guest ordered the sushi deluxe, which came with a lovely array of fresh fish. I was able to take a taste of the yellowtail served with chili crisp, and I could have had a whole plate of it by myself! I decided on a build your own poke bowl, which was so much fun to build and everything felt fresh and beautiful. We are already planning our next trip here! Definitely the best sushi around.
