Sushi Palace

In case it wasn't obvious, I really like sushi. My friend from Rutgers introduced me to this place called Sushi Palace in Edison, NJ when we met for dinner and the university's opera performance. (I hate opera. I fell asleep. I only went because my friend played piano in the pit and my ticket was free.) Sushi Palace is a buffet, but not the kind where you go up to the counter and get your own food. It's the type where you fill out a form indicating the quantities of everything you want and then the chefs make it and bring it to you. Interesting.. The only problem is my friend has this bad habit of ordering way too much food. She says "I could eat all this myself!" and then she eats a tiny bit and says she full. And then she expects me to finish it all.

I don't remember if this was octopus or squid, but it was really good.. It wasn't overly chewy like you would expect.

I don't know what most of this stuff is. Sorry. I didn't order it. I ordered the eel/ avocado roll and the mackerel sashimi. For some reason, I really enjoy eating the white stringy stuff even though it tastes like nothing. I guess I'm just weird.

Shrimp tempura. Honestly, it made me nauseous because there was too much grease. I had to force it down when my friend decided to stop eating.

Right side: fish katsu. Left side: fish something else. Yum for both.

Right side: eggplant and sweet potato tempura. It turns out I don't really like eggplant. I picked one up thinking it was sweet potato, and I was SO disappointed. Then when I picked up the right one, I started grinning like an idiot because it tasted so good and my friend laughed at me for five minutes straight. Left side: gyoza/ dumplings. Always have to get them.

This place is awesome. If I lived closer, I'd go at least once a week. It's only $25 for the dinner buffet, and that includes ice cream. Unfortunately, fried ice cream costs extra, but we were too full for dessert and had to get to the opera.
