Pretty decent spot for all you can eat (“AYCE”) sushi + hot foods for around $40 after tax and tips. The sushi, sashimi, and rolls tasted fresh as it should be because the place was packed for a Saturday evening dinner. The sushi counter had at least 5 chefs cranking them out as fast as possible, which is good for hungry hungry customers. Update: so nice came back twice! Different day, same level of service and quality!

A wonderful buffet. All you can eat sashimi, sushi, and other seafood delights. All for about $35.

Nova Asian Bistro is a hidden gem that really delivers on all fronts. If you’re looking for a spot that satisfies your cravings and your budget, this place is soy amazing. The unlimited sushi alone is worth the trip. It’s fresh, comes out fast, and has a great variety that keeps things interesting throughout the meal. You’re not just getting quantity here! you’re getting legit quality! The fried rice was flavorful and comforting, with just the right balance of egg, seasoning, and texture. We also tried a few appetizers that were well-executed and nicely plated. The cocktails were another highlight. Mine came in a wine glass that looked straight out of a summer brunch, and it tasted just as refreshing. Presentation was on point across the board. The vibe inside is laid-back but stylish. Great lighting, good music, and a lively yet not-too-loud atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. Our server was attentive and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Whether you’re going with friends, on a date, or just trying to roll solo into sushi heaven, Nova really hits the spot. Come hungry, because you’ll want to try everything. Nova might sound like a star and honestly, it rice to the occasion. Will definitely be back.

This is a very nice place to eat some Asian cuisine. It can be a little loud for intimate conversation, however. They do have an all you can eat menu as well as a regular dining menu as well. You can choose! You just need to ask your server. The food is very good! All you can eat is 37 dollars, however. To me it seems a little pricy. I do NOT recommend the tropical sushi unless you love fish and banana together.

My lifelong friends and I meetup here 4x a year. The staff are great and the prices are excellent. We always get the all you can eat deal, and I swear they’re losing money on us.
