Japanese Palace

Its has probably been nearly 20 years since I've been to Japanese Palace, so we thought it was high time for a family outing. They do not take reservations, so plan ahead. With two kids in tow, we showed up right at opening and had no issues getting a table. For those like me who have fond memories of coming to Japanese Palace as a kid, well you'll be happy to know this place hasn't changed one bit. Untouched by time. When so many cherished places and neighborhood staples lost these past few years, I think that's a great thing. I ordered the the Japanese Palace Special, which was probably the exact same thing I ordered in high school. Hard to beat a little of beef, chicken, and shrimp, cooked right in front of you. Of course, you go to a place like Japanese Palace for the show and that was on point as well. We all were pleased with the food and the kiddos thoroughly enjoyed the experience as well, albeit probably much to distracted to eat (yay leftovers!). My favorite is always the fried rice, which we had plenty of.Its nice to see that after all these years, Japanese Palace still providing great food and experiences. We do plan to be back and might even plan ahead and pop into their comfy bar for a Kirin or two before getting started. If you're like me and you can't remember since the last time you've been, its time again.

The sushi here is actually pretty amazing. It's so fresh and tasty. The sushi chef is really sweet and good convo.

This is our second time coming here and it is so good! There is plenty of seating on the habachi side of the restaurant. The eggplant is one of our favorite parts of the meal. Both times we have come we have shared the Japanese Palace Special and fried rice. We added an extra order of zucchini, which was perfect but next time we will also add an extra order of eggplant. For our drinks, my husband ordered the hot sake and I ordered the mai tai, they were both delicious. The service was great, the cook was fantastic especially since we were alone at the table. Nothing was skipped out and it was still an enjoyable meal. We can't wait to come back again.

1st let me say Im not a fan of the seating. We were not told that a booth option was available if you dont want the hibachi seating. Which neither me nor my husband are fans of sitting at the table with stangers especially on our date nights. So after over hearing that a booth was an option we moved. The food was pretty good but not a lot of options. The chicken fried rice was great and probably enough for 2 or 3 people. I dont think that we will be back.

I am a huge hibachi lover and was so excited to try this place. We took our friends and the kids to eat. The location itself was clean, staff were nice and chef did a good job entertaining us and our kids. I ordered the chicken and fried rice, and husband got the steak. We got fried rice for the kids and due to what is usually a large portion of food we share the chicken and veggies. My son loves the typical hibachi fried rice with just rice and egg and they added in some veggies to it that we had to pick around. I ended up getting him steamed rice because he wouldnt eat it. The veggies were missing broccoli, which is at most other hibachi places, but they did add a large amount of bean sprouts that they cooked at the end. It wasn't a great addition in my opinion. It was just ok, probably wont be returning.

The ONLY reason I didn't give 5 stars , was the drink/refill service a pretty slow. That being said, We used to live closer and came here 25 years ago, it's still wonderful. The food quality is really good, entertainment was great, service is friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is cute and very large. We don't have sushi, but their sushi bar is nice.

Have been coming here almost 40 years. It has remained good. I will continue to come back. I liked the fact they serve egg plant with onions, mushrooms, bell pepper and zucchini for the mixed vegetables and not broccoli that is usually prevalent in Chinese dishes. The fried rice is good and the portions are more than adequate. We always have left overs but then we usually start with a sushi appetizer. Wished they still have you the little scoop of orange sherbet at the end, but things do change. I recommend the cooking table seating and enjoy watching them prepare my food. Can't go wrong with the Palace Special!

Ok.. this hibachi spot was nowhere on my radar.. we got invited to a birthday there, and it was such a pleasant surprise. It has an interesting layout, a great bar area, and the hibachi / sushi situation was perfectly what we wanted and hoped for. Hibachi is always a fun group activity but this was extra special, it was a neat location tucked away in a spot you wouldn't necessarily expect. Absolutely worth going back!

Save your money! This place is terrible!!! Food did not taste good and rice was burnt! Will not be back!!!!!

I've had sushi in Tokyo, in Yokosuka, Yokohama, Seoul, Chinhae, and all over the US. Japanese Palace has remained my 'standard' for good sashimi and sushi, since 1998. The kamikaze roll is my 'go to'.Thank you, Japanese Palace for staying put.
