Great all you can eat sushi spot. The staff is pretty attentive and food comes out in a timely manner, Some of the seats can be a little too close but I would still recommend.

Read all these amazing reviews and decided to give this place a try. Nova was not what I had expected..as a sushi fanatic this spot was totally sub par. My friend and I were seated in a loud crowded dining room filled with wait staff running around. The ambiance was terrible, we felt like we couldn't have a conversation as we were hearing everyone else's. Additionally the ordering system is like a typical restaurant. Once your wait staff comes you best be ready to order, they make you order quick and are not helpful with the menu. Once you place an order you can expect to see your waiter never again..having to flag them down to order more! Also the sushi was not good. Unfortunately Nova just was not all that I had hoped it would be, would not go back, would not recommend. AYCE: $35/person, for 2 with tip it was $45/person.

This place offer a delightful array of sushi dishes that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. The food was undoubtedly a highlight of the dining experience. However, I was slightly disappointed with the martinis, as they fell short of expectations. While the selection was varied, the execution left something to be desired, lacking the finesse and flavor profile I had hoped for. Nonetheless, the overall ambiance and service were pleasant, making Nova Sushi a worthwhile destination for sushi enthusiasts.

Never ever in my life will I EVER eat here again!!! I went here to eat for all you can eat on Saturday February 24 at around 7pm … we were seated rather quickly by a women we think was a a manager or owner but we as also acting as a hostess…she was tall, with short dark hair, wearing a soft pink Chanel Knock off outfit that had a Diamond heart necklace on.. we ordered food and most of the stuff was great however a few dishes had sesame seeds so unfortunately being I’m allergic to sesame seeds i couldn’t eat them and had to reorder without sesame seeds. But a couple other dishes came with sesame seeds that in my experience never had sesame seeds like my teriyaki shrimp and we also ordered the teriyaki chicken. But couldn’t eat it. Also the tuna … what’s the deal with that? Tuna TarTare that was weird …. It was mashed. Anyway, As we started to finish up we asked the same woman who seated us to woman to take away our food as she had been clearing plates here and there and she literally took the plate out of my hand and started SCREAMING at me “NO, YOU FINISH YOUR FOOD” ….. “YOU EAT THAT RIGHT NOW” ….. i couldn’t believe what was going on at the moment. Here we are about to spend about $100 at an establishment that we’re visiting for the first time that we heard great things about and we’re being treated this way. The funny thing is most of the plates were on my side but they weren’t even mine … hmmmm here I am , the only black person in the entire restaurant being spoken to like a dog. IT WAS BY FAR THE MOST HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD IN ALL OF NY 44 YEARS ON THIS EARTH.I WILL NEVER EVER IN MY LIFE SPEND ANOTHER DOLLAR HERE!! The owner Peter was very apologetic and did try to smooth things over but the damage was done. He took off two sodas from the bill and offered us to take the food home but our appetites were completely gone.

Nova, Asian bistro is an all you could eat restaurant with waiter service. This is not a buffet, I believe it's $35 a person and you have two hours to eat and if you order extra food and don't eat it they will charge you, the quality of the food is mediocre at best, the service is fast and like other reviews they're not the friendliest when you say thank you which I did multiple times they never reply, the food does come out very fast, and since it's all you could eat, the portions are not very big, but you almost feel forced to fill yourself up because it's all you could eat, I don't think I will be coming back here

Just had dinner there tonight with a friend. We were seated immediately and were quick to be greeted. The place was busy for a Monday night! We ordered bang bang chicken and chicken pad Thai. For sushi we got the Fantastic roll, Nova roll, Tiger Roll and the Signature roll. Very tasty food and we ordered just enough without feeling like we needed to be wheeled out. Website needs to be updated because it says $28.99 but we were charged $33.99. Might return with more people. *Photo credit to fellow Yelper Noelle P

Bad tuna... overall not such a great experience. I don't crave it and I don't want to go back

I generally come here for takeout sushi. Sometimes I get AYCE. If they had eel sashimi available during AYCE, I would come here all the time - but they don’t.I once put in an online order for some sushi. My order wasn’t ready after 45 minutes from the time I ordered because their printer didn’t print my order. My order was 95, and I watched all the subsequent numbers come out.They assured me “5 more minutes.”Eventually they properly checked on my order and printed the slip for my food. For my troubles, I was given a Japanese soda for children.It was an incredibly frustrating experience to expect to have an online order ready 15 mins after ordering, and then have to wait 30 mins inside before receiving my food. A discount on the order or my next order would’ve been more appreciated than a soda

This place is amazing overall. The food taste homemade fresh. The rice of the sushi doesn’t feel plastic as other places. The shrimp actually feels and taste as shrimp. The spicy chicken is delicious it has white meat chicken inside not the fried stuff as other restaurant that feels like 30% chicken in it and not crumbs of other stuff.

Went on Sunday Super Bowl night, game going on on all the screens. Food on point, everything fresh& well made. Only fault is no desserts, not even fresh fruit to cleanse the palate. But overall excellent, I haven't been here in some time & they did not disappoint.Parking: Ample street parking
