I’ve known Nova for over 15 years when she had her first location in Glendora.The food is out of this world.One thing to consider, she makes the good fresh so it’s not fast food. Give yourself 1hr prior to ordering for pick up.Also, if you want to dine in for lunch, call 1hr to order so that it will be ready upon your arrival.She is a small business and most being from passion. As with all things, there’s always room for improvement in processes.The Sisig is the best! The tofu sisig is good too. From the Kare Kare & the Crunchy Dinuguan.Love you Nova!

Nova's is a hidden gem for Filipino cuisine enthusiasts! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth and hospitality. The lumpia and adobo dishes are absolute must-tries, bursting with authentic flavors. The cozy ambiance adds to the dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine Filipino food!

Delicious food, friendly and welcoming customer service. The gentleman at the register was kind and excited to teach us about the food on the menu, to help us decide. We had breakfast sisig, an adobo bowl, sotanghon guisado soup, and for dessert ube turon. The portions were large (we brought leftovers home and ate it for breakfast the next morning, yum!). It was clear that a lot of pride and care went into making the food. We can't wait to go back.
I ordered sinigang baka (beef) and they gave me half pork and half beef! I called them to make sure that they ONLY put beef, and they said “yes because the pork we serve are ribs.” Look at the picture! No way the one on the left is beef.If you order the same thing I do, BE SURE TO CHECK IN FRONT OF THEM! You want to get what you paid for.

This is just the beginning y’all! I normally receive an A-1 experience from this establishment. But let me bring this to light! I was trying to place an order over the phone as I usually do! They normally know who I am and the orders that I place. Today, I was attempting to place an order for a new customer and was very disappointed and embarrassed by the way the owner (Lexicon) behaved!Which was Super Irate! Overly Rude!Godlike (saying “I’m the owner”!, I’m above all!, yelling I don’t have time to explain or need to help you understand the menu.If you don’t like it, don’t buy from here! attitude! And hung up in my face!What a disgusting, pathetic, disrespectful, person! Who obviously feels he’s at the top of his game and doesn’t care about losing great, frequent going customers!I had clients on a 3-way line looking to place orders!Due to my bragging about this place!I now will never trust ordering from this place because the probability of my food being spat in or tainted is very high!
Great Filipino food but recommend ordering ahead of time for pick up. They seemed short staff but still a very hard working crew. Bad Location...you blink you miss, all the way in the back of a uhaul business...hard to look for the restaurant because of the trucks covering the sign. Tight parking and shady looking characters walking around, a turn off for any business even if the food served is great. Ambiance is basic, only one restroom for all. Best advice is just order it take out and eat it at home.

The Sisig is amazing! Very meaty and so delicious. I come here just for that but I'll have to come back to try the other dishes.

The cashier was very rude. Very sarcastic and awful service attitude.

Ordered take out and the milk fish sisig was good. We also ordered the crispy kare kare which needed more flavor. Place is casual. Service was slow. CASH only.
