SpaceTime: Dragon Palace, Puutori, Turku, 1pm lunch
Atmosphere: Somewhat stylish, oriental, dim light, candles on tables, smooth jazz from speaker, constant Chinese chit-chat from the counter
Food: Sushi + chinese food buffet
Price: 9.90€

Thoughts: Dragon Palace seems like your typical Chinese joint. The style of decoration is consistent with my imagined stereotype, with dark wood, gold, decorated chairs, smiling Buddha statues, ceiling mirrors, fake marble etc.

The lunch offering is a sushi and Chinese food buffet, soup, coffee. Half of the offering is sushi and the other half has typical buffet foods such as deep-fried chicken balls, sweet-and-sour sauce, spring rolls, rice and a few sauces with chicken or beef with vegetables.

The food was tasty enough, although nothing I haven't seen in other buffets. The selection of foods was also quite small, and there was no salad buffet to speak of. Some of the choices for the sushi ingredients were also unusual, such as deep-fried onion ring halves, but generally traditional. The sushi was not the prettiest I have seen, but at least the rice was not raw.

I have trouble recommending this place, not because there's something wrong, but because there are several other restaurants offering a bit more for a similar price.
