   It was a Wednesday night 8:00pm celebration for my daughter’s birthday. We had 4 drinks, 3 appetizers, 30 pcs chef choice Shashimi, Wagyu ribeye, 3 kinds of rolls, 3 hot dishes, 2 miso soup, 3 deserts & one coffee to share among 5 and the bill was reasonable 492. We were quite full. Everything was tasty especially the ribeye it was top notch. Our server Ryann was very polite and efficient. I will definitely return and recommend this place.

   The restaurant has different elemental themes for each room, which was cool to see. Loved the service and the food was delicious! Definitely coming back for another date night!

   Brunch was amazing. We loved the jumbo shrimp and pasta station. They were super nice and made us customized pasta. Sushi was super fresh. Make a reservation early!

   We came for the Easter brunch with a 1:30 reservation. We showed up at 1:33 and the hostess said they do their last seating at 1:30 and she will see what she can do to accommodate us. There was a 5 minute grace period listed on OpenTable reservations. I tried to call but phone was off. We sort of expected this since it was the last seating but was disappointed that the food was poor quality. Pancakes and waffles were hard and smelled burnt from the water under the tray being dried out. The king crab legs and snow crab legs were soggy making it hard to utilize cracker to get the meat out. The fried rice, prime rib, longanisa and chicken Tocino were good. However prime rib and ham were cold. Dessert options are better at Golden Corral. This was a really sad experience for us because not only was it Easter but it was our one year wedding anniversary. It was not worth the money one bit. The two starts are really for Julie being a great server despite our disappointment.

   For $70/person, there wasn’t a lot of food selection for a buffet. The quality of the food was awful. (The seafood quality was subpar The sushi quality was below average.) Frankly, any fast food tastes better than Nova’s Easter buffet.

   Food was horrible, service was slow, place was loud, had to hike for food to a different area of the restaurant. Stopped service oysters, they did not have Ube pancakes. Will never come back or recommend. Why over priced for what you get.

   We didn’t enjoy our dinner or services at all tho they were kind enough to take one of the appetizer’s back and off our final bill. We tried Brussels sprouts and Calamari ( server recommended), from appetizers. Calamari was tough and smell to eat so had to return it. For dinner we ordered extra extra spicy Kung Pao chicken and Fried rice with shrimps only as we don’t eat scallops. Well what we got was sweet Kung pao chicken and fried rice with 3 shrimps only and on top of it we were charged $4/- extra for shrimps only . In fact , Brussels Sprouts were the only saving grace of the evening! Service was sub par, server never came to check if dinner was spicy enough as we had put in special request. When walking into the restaurant, I mentioned to my husband that it smells like cafeteria! So overall it was disappointing evening and dinner !
