Sunny Palace Restaurant

We had our Chinese banquet here in July 2007. We searched for a venue to hold our banquet in Chinatown NY and in Central NJ and did not find anything like Sunny Palace. Our biggest issue was making sure we could fit our estimation of just under 200 guests. None of the NJ restaurants could handle that capacity and the Chinatown restaurants had 2 major issues (1) bad decor and (2) terrible NYC parking. Sunny Palace solved all of problems because they have a huge parking lot and could accomodate up to 250 guests.

The prices are extremely reasonable and SP offers many different menus to choose from. Because more than half of our guests were non-Chinese we had to adjust the menu in several different ways as not to freak out my husband's family and our friends. Dave, the manager (and owner, I think) was very accomodating, even letting me know (due to mama drama) I could add the fish dish the day of for my mom's relatives. Dave was on top of everything - he took care of the arrival of the cake (setting it up so beautifully), kept tabs on the bar tab (and letting us know some guests were out of hand), and of course checking in with us at just the right times.

If you're in Central NJ I would definitely recommend Sunny Palace for the atmosphere and the great food. Heck, just go there for dim sum, lunch or dinner.
