Nova Sushi Bar & Asian Bistro

The food was decent, and the service was fast. I got the avocado roll, California roll, and chicken tempura roll. The other people at my table got fish and sashimi, and the fish looked pretty good and had nice color and looked fresh.

A phenomenal restaurant. All the sushi rolls I have had are rocking awesome. The shiki tower appetizer is great. The gyoza taste wonderful. The crispy fried salmon roll and paradise roll (also fried) are delicious! We come here very often and are always always happy with everything! Across the board a fantastic sushi and Asian fusion choice. Several options for those who want noodle dishes or hibachi dishes. And even Chinese style meals. The hibachi tastes great. Honestly everything it great and the waitresses are wonderful! Don’t wait!

Love this place!! Fast service, tasty food!! I almost always get the same dish here (hibachi plate) but switch up the protein. Today I got the shrimp hibachi. I like how it comes with a good amount of veggies. It is served with ginger salad and rice. Yumm! My husband got the steak teriyaki plate. Me liked the hibachi cowl better as it was more veggies! Still excellent flavors but we both prefer the hibachi entree over the teriyaki. The yum yum sauce that comes with it is always good !

Bottom line: I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. Fish is flavorless/low quality, most of the food was bland, better sushi for similar prices elsewhere in the area. Service was good though. Preface: I've been here a handful of times for their 3 regular rolls for $17 lunch special. I didn't like the fish, but since it was cheap I figured why not. I stopped going because I liked the Publix $5 sushi Wednesday deal better. I came back this time to write a solid review of the experience, and it was all the same as when I used to go more often about 7 months ago. Atmosphere: Very clean. Mid-light ambience. Very spacious. Very quiet so you can enjoy conversation with your party. Food: I enjoyed the $5 sushi Wednesdays at the Publix across the street better. The Miso Soup interestingly had more flavor than the last “higher end” sushi restaurant I went to, but their veggies didn’t seem that fresh. The seaweed wasn’t tender at all, very tough. The ginger dressing for the salad was pretty bland and they could have done a better job pulling apart the salad. The pieces were very large, not easy to eat in one bite. The Saké Mule did not look very aesthetic at all and tasted watered down. We got the Maki Combo under the Sushi Bar Entrée Menu which includes three regular rolls and the ginger salad for $22. The Shrimp Tempura Roll had decent flavor with the eel sauce, but the tempura itself wasn’t as crispy as I expected. On a scale of sogginess to crispiness, I would give it a 6/10 The Caterpillar Roll had the best presentation in my opinion, but also had a somewhat similar issue. The Alaska Roll should have been my favorite since it had the most raw fish which I love. Unfortunately, the fish itself did not have any flavor. The spicy Mayo was also very scarce. As you can see in the photo, it’s very easy to miss that they included it at all. I would rather them have drizzled it over the entire roll. The end pieces were also obviously neglected. Overall, the fish(the most important part of sushi) was very bland. I didn’t enjoy it. Service: I went later in the evening about an hour and fifteen minutes before closing. It wasn’t busy. We were seated immediately. We didn’t feel rushed at all. Our waitress visited us frequently to make sure everything was fine. Our food came out very promptly. I accidentally dropped my chopsticks. The waitress noticed from across the restaurant and immediately brought me another pair without being asked. I do, however, enjoy a wait staff that feels more relatable and friendly to talk to. Not to say she wasn’t very kind/polite. Overall very satisfied with the service. Overall, I would give this restaurant two stars if it wasn’t for the great service that our waitress provided. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t visit this restaurant again. You can get better sushi elsewhere in the area for the same price.

After playing a show in Norcross we found this quaint storefront restaurant not far from our hotel in Buckhead. Our server was exceptional and was very knowledgeable and helpful to us. We enjoyed their sashimi for 2 that came with salads. The cuts and portions to price were great. The quality was superb and we enjoyed the atmosphere. Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit!
