Nova Asian Bistro

Everything that my coworkers and I had was good but there 4 stars was the turn off of the fried rice. There were 2-3 different onions that took over the authenticity of that dish. I couldn't taste the rice, chicken, etc..just onion. Maybe that was a mistake but man if you look at the photos you can see the onion were plenty.

We came to Nova Bistro for dinner and was pleasantly surprised at how packed it was on Tuesday evening. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the staff was nice. But more importantly, the sushi were delicious! We had ordered the chirashi, salmon lovers, shrimp tempura rolls, eel avocado rolls, and seaweed salad... and they were all really good. Will definitely come back again.

Great place with plenty of variety - about $40 after tax for weekend dinner. They also close later (11 on Saturdays) than other all-you-can-eat places in the general area. Staff were very professional and attentive despite how busy it was. They did their best and cleaned as they went. The menu has a ton of options so I recommend just writing down what you want on your phone so the waiter can take a picture and send it to the kitchen. Fish was high quality. Some of the special rolls had sauce that didn't taste like anything and packed depth but overall the sushi and maki items were delicious. The Out of Control Roll was very good with seared salmon on top and salmon/yellowtail inside. They had a white tuna truffle appetizer which was so nice and fatty, garnished with tobiko. Pork gyoza was also good. Highly recommend.

Your usual sushi buffet place. Highlights are the hot & sour soup, the sashimi (salmon, squid, tuna), and the short ribs. The kids in my group rly like the chicken wings. Appreciate the reasonable portion size for all the noodle and rice dishes.

Nova Asian Bistro in New Hyde Park in Queens The good: - We went to this place as a recommendation from friends who lived in Queens, and specifically to try the AYCE option; at the time of this writing it was $35 per person with a 2 hour limit. - Lots of appetizer, sashimi and roll options. - The quality of the fish seemed fresh. The not so great: - The food was ok, nothing really stood out with regards to taste or elevated flavors; but by all means, it wasn't bad, it was just somewhat ok. - On the evening we went, they were absolutely packed; so it did take quite a while to receive our first and 2nd round; we can also see that other tables near us was experiencing the same issue. - The staff was very quick to recover for us once they recognized the delay, so they put in orders 3 4 and 5 simultaneously to save time, so by no means were we hungry at the end of it, but I had to mention the delay since I can only comment on the experience; but it was quite good they recovered and recognized their delay. I did notice a big table nearby was not happy about the delay and I m not sure whether that table of 8 was able to recover since our table was just 2, me and the wife. As we were leaving, we saw almost 6 parties waiting to get seated so I think the bottleneck was probably getting worse, not better as the evening wore on. All in all, the taste of the food is so so, nothing stood out to us as anything great, and the kitchen was experiencing issues that night, I think if I lived nearby, I would potentially give them another shot, but being from Manhattan, I doubt I would return.
