    I would give it 0 star if I could. This is a bad place to eat. Terrible customer service. Today , I went there with my wife. The guy at the front desk let us sit at a small tiny table for two. I asked her to change to a larger table for four. She said the larger table is for 4 people. But I saw there are at least 4 tables in this restaurant not having 4 people sitting at, only 2 persons. I said why can’t I change to those tables. What she said makes me sick. She said “ oh, because you are new customers and they 2 person can sit at 4-person table because they are old customers. “ WHAT!? Different policy for different customers? So, if you are NEW customers, PLEASE DO NOT try this restaurant. If you are old customer, you are lucky, they have special benefits for you. I also attach two photo I take today. One shows special policy that 2 person can sit at large table, OLD CUSTOMERS. Another is the table for us, ONLY choice, sit or leave. No way to move to another table.

    First time back in about a year and not much has changed. Interior still as I remembered and the food is above average. What I do like about this all you can eat sushi is the fact they serve sashimi; not everyone wants to load up on rice. Service is spot on and very friendly.

    Came here on a Saturday night around 7:30pm. My wait time was 5 minutes as someone was leaving. This Asian Fusion restaurant is most popular for their All you can Eat sushi. Creative roll choices, sashimi too! Best part is the hot appetizers and entree choices from the kitchen in case you don't want to just have fish. Service was prompt and the pace was good. We were not bombarded with plates and not rushed either. Very crowded on the weekend so call first as they don't take reservations.

    Visited this all you can eat spot for a Friday lunch. The service was great and the sushi even better. The rolls are amazing and some selections border on art. My small group left stuffed to the gills with promises to return. I've eaten a lot of sushi in my day, including a year's worth in Japan, and this is by far the best I've found in New York. ------ Another vist. More great service and some of the tastiest treats I've ever had. I can't find one thing critical to say here. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a visit! ------- Back again. Totally stuffed. The menu is endless but I'm working my way through it. So far I have found nothing that isn't delicious and nothing that doesn't look spectacular in presentation. ------- Back again. Can't stay away. Can't stop Won't stop lol

    Quick service. All you can eat but they don’t waste food so if you don’t finish they will charge you if you want to bring it home at a fair price. the sushi pizza and white truffle tuna are my favorite but need to go back and try more items. This all you can eat in my opinion has a lot more to offer than others in Queens, you get your moneyworth. They don’t take reservations so basically it’s first conference or sometimes it does get busy so plan accordingly, I went early dinner and it was not packed and easily got a table.

    Staff members were kind and helpful. The atmosphere was good. Depending on the time and day you go, you’re seated rather quickly. I had the all-you-can-eat service. Honestly would only recommend the salmon sashimi and moneybags (crab rangoons). There were other pieces of sashimi that were tough In texture. The beef ribs were difficult to chew despite its well seasoning. The waitress admitted to noticing its hard exterior and discarded the item. The Tom yum soup and shrimp tempura speciality roll were alright. I wouldn’t recommend the wings or fried items. Please note you are expected to finish ALL, if not MAJORITY, of your selections or they will charge regular price per item. I wasn’t pleased to hear that. The manager was kind to excuse this for me as I did not enjoy most items.

    All you can eat Japanese restaurant. Delicious and fresh food. It’s not a buffet, you can either make an order or ask for “all you can eat menu.” You can order as much food as you want but you MUST finish your plate. You can’t take leftover food. The service is great! Fast, attentive and wonderful staff! Great restaurant for the whole family. The price went up after COVID-19 to $32.95 per person Monday to Thursday and $34.95 Friday to Sunday and Holidays. In addition, children under 10 years old pay $ 21.95. Expect to spend at least 15 minutes looking for parking.

    Everything we ordered was “OKAY” except the sushi, the sushi was disappointing. It tasted so bad. EVEN THOUGH ITS A SUSHI PLACE And we couldn’t leave any. If you can’t eat all your food you should be able to leave it, you shouldn’t be charged full price for leftovers after paying for the “All you can eat - price”

    A great small restaurant off the main road quick staff you can ask any of them to help take your food or drink orders. The appetizers and nice but for me the sushi dishes are my main focus thier absolutely delicious. "The signature" , the Ak-47 and the earthquake rolls are my favorites along with a zombie cocktail.

  • 3/5 Stephen K. 1 year ago on Google
    Half of the food my family and I ordered were not to our liking. Some of the dishes we ordered had, in our opinion, weird combinations. For example, the Mango Roll was good. While I found the mango flavor to be a bit strong, the rest of my family felt the combination to be weird. The Phoenix Roll was another weird combination. Those that love Philadelphia Roll may enjoy this, but the cream cheese was too strong in the roll for us. Not only that, but the tempura was a bit stale. All in all, the combinations were a bit weird and some flavors overpowered the others too much. The waitress were kind and patient though. In the beginning, it was difficult to call one over to order, but as the night went on, it became easier.

    I have been coming to this location for years. The food over the years has become more and more average, it's not bad but it's nothing special. The lunch specials are worth it but honestly I recommend takeout. The main issue is the staff. They will stare you down like hawks waiting for you to put down your fork and then they will rush over to clear your table and are ready to kick you out. But when you actually need them, they're never around to take your order. The food can take a really long time to come out on a busy night. Weekends are super packed and it's a mad house, you feel like you're sitting right next to the other table sometimes and it's super loud and chaotic. The wait times can be outrageous and what's worse is that they put you on a waitlist and promise you to be seated in a timely manner but the time they tell you is usually very off. Multiple times, the lady at the front didn't even really put me on the waitlist so it took even longer to get seated. The staff will scream over you to each other and there is definitely a language barrier, which is okay, but sometimes the staff is rude and condescending. Many times I have asked for something and I was given something completely different, which is fine because accidents happen, but the staff won't own up to their mistakes. One time, I was forced to just eat the wrong sushi order because the staff member wrote down the wrong order and the sushi chef "refused" to remake it. This place is honestly a hit or miss. The "all you can eat" prices have increased and it honestly isn't worth the money. The staff and atmosphere are huge cons that bring this establishment down and there needs to be major changes made.

    Great local restaurant with all you can eat option, and a la carte. Fast service, fresh sushi, nice atmosphere

  • 5/5 Samantha R. 9 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    I love this place. It is my go-to for sushi. I get veggie options as I don’t eat much fish or meat. I recommend peanut avocado roll, vegetable gyoza, scallion pancakes (dipping sauce is bomb dot com) and thai iced tea. I’ve never been disappointed. delivery is efficient—quick and orders are always accurate. love you, novaaaaa 🥟 🍱

    A great place, but the quality honestly depends on the day you go. Sometimes they’ll have super-high quality food, other times it’ll be just average. However, the food is great regardless. There is a large variety of options for sushi and cooked food, so there will most definitely be something for everyone. Although they do get busy at times, the waitstaff are always helpful and friendly, and the food comes out relatively quickly as well. One other note, for the all-you-can-eat, a quick warning: you get exactly what you order. Other restaurants might give 10 pieces if you order 20, but Nova will give exactly how many you order. So just be warned to not over order, because you will get exactly everything you ordered. (That’s a good quality, not a bad one) Overall, one of the better all-you-can-eat sushi spots in NY.

    I come here at least 2-3 times a year. Service has been becoming slower and slower by the year. Doesn’t feel like an all you can eat when they bring you your rolls 35 minutes after appetizers/regular food. Will not be coming back for a long time. There are other, better AYCE sushis at this price and quality.

    I had a wonderful experience here. It more than I expected. From food prep to food serving was exceptional. The food was fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Yoshni L. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was delicious and the price was great for 4 cocktails and all you can eat sushi only under $200... amazing 👍

    Nova is a family favorite and we often indulge ourselves with a scrumptious and decadent meal multiple times each month. The owners and servers know us and are always very friendly and helpful. The food has never disappointed; the items are fresh and tasty and the drinks are spot on. The decor is beautiful and the booths and tables are comfortable. Nova is a great place and has wonderful value. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Luis M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot. They always have fresh food and for the all you can eat price it’s a steal. Just an amazing spot. The Sushi is Good! I sit there all the time and read at the bar while enjoying soup, sushi and mixed cooked plates.

  • 1/5 James G. 1 year ago on Google
    My friends and I used to come here often but they no longer honour their business hours; we’ve been turned away twice in the same week at around 9pm after being told we had to pay full price for everything on their All You Can Eat menu! There are better and fairer options that won’t waste your time while robbing you to make up for poor daily sales.

  • 5/5 Nisha S. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited twice while we were on vacation and both times was amazing. Great food, and drinks. Service was excellent, and the ambiance is very modern. The scorpion bowl is excellent, along with the crazy tuna roll, sushi pizza, spicy tuna roll, and the earthquake roll and the Hawaiian fried rice. Everything was freshly made, will def return on our next trip.

    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.

  • 4/5 Nicole L. 1 year ago on Google
    I would recommend this place if you have the patience to wait for your food because it did take a while for them to serve us. The all you can eat menu has many options from sushi, to soup, to salads, to appetizers, to kitchen entrees the options are endless. I would definitely recommend the dancing dragon roll because that was my favorite there
