We have been to Asian Palace several times and we've always enjoyed our visits. Since the pandemic, business seems to be off and on a Saturday evening at about 7:00 p.m., Asian Palace deserve to be a good deal more busy than it actually was. No problem getting a table right away at all. The Chinese entrees we ordered were plentiful tasty and reasonably priced. Service was super-prompt and solid. We did not get sushi on this visit and our overall bill was really quite reasonable particularly given the location. Somehow I believe that if Asian Palace were to relocate to some place with better foot traffic or a better Street front, they would be appreciably busier. Come and discover Asian Palace before they figure that out (Or, ald it would be tragic, before they close)

Great local place. Great service and fast too on a Friday night. We had 5 sushi rolls, all were fresh and amazing. Also had shrimp pineapple rice which was equally as great.

Had two bento boxes for late afternoon lunch. Excellent preparation and quite delicious. Everything was great from the perfectly steamed rice to the sushi roll. Also prompt and friendly service. Update, everything was so delicious we went back a week later and added another couple pics

This palace always has the best food and service. It’s tucked away from the busy road in a serene tranquil woodland. Nice place to come unwind and have really great Japanese cuisine.

Great spot with great sushi - and you'd never know it's there if you weren't looking for it. The volcano roll is is probably the best I've ever had, and lunch specials mean you have a lot of reasonably priced options to choose from. Next time I'm trying the Pad Thai.

Was in a hurry and not expecting much. This ended up a fantastic dining experience. They were quick but food was great. Will be coming back when I am not in a rush. I had the eel avacado roll and eel sushi. Both were very good. Negimaki was perfect and great complement to sushi and Sapporo beer.

Really enjoyable place for Chinese food standards. The staff is lovely. The sushi rice is not great, but the fish is quite good.

Let me preface by writing that I was a cook for 5 years and Chef for 10 years, so I look at food a little differently... I ordered the Hot & Sour Soup, along with the Bean Curd - Home Style...I found the flavor of the Soup to be very pleasing and, something I would find useful if one has a cold as it opens the sinuses...it wasn't too salty (as some Asian foods can be), and the sound base had a very smooth, yet pronounced flavor with just the right spice...the Bean Curd was very good...my only suggestion would be to add the broccoli in the menu description..if I had known I would have requested without this vegetable ( personal preference as during my 15 years in the kitchen, I've eaten too much broccoli and can't stand it any longer]...when I requested Extra Bean Curd, the kitchen came through, which I appreciate... ,
