Among the many restaurants that are in Rockville Centre sits its newest shining star, Kashi Japanese. A sister-restaurant to their other busy location on the north shore’s equivalent to Rockville Centre, Huntington Village (both with busy village atmospheres), Kashi will make you feel blue, but not in the way that you might be thinking.

While most buffets will have you and everyone else circling around a large presentation table loaded with food (and who knows what germs), Sushi Palace is more refined in nature.

An offshoot to their other popular location in Woodside, Queens, this location is a bit larger, brighter and newer. We took a trip there not too long ago to capture some of their decor and dishes for our audience to see.
