Recently celebrated my birthday at Nova Kitchen in their private speakeasy whiskey room and had the most incredible night. They truly went above and beyond to make it so special — they even arranged the sushi and flames into “27” for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch.
Jay took care of us that night and gave us the best experience. He was incredibly friendly, personable, and always on top of making sure we had everything we needed. Huge shout out to the amazing managers, Drew and Brandon, for making sure we had the most unforgettable night.
The food was plated so beautifully. The uni and toro nigiri was absolutely addicting, and all of the steaks came out a perfect medium rare. Everything was delicious and stunning. I can’t recommend this place enough — truly an unforgettable experience.

Celebrated a friend’s birthday in one of Nova’s private rooms, and EVERYTHING was amazing!
The food is top-notch, and the drinks are tasty and fun. Our steaks were cooked to perfection (especially the wagyu), and the nigiri was super fresh.
The atmosphere is perfect for a night out. Our server Jay and the manager Brandon took great care of us all night. Fantastic service truly made the dinner experience worthwhile.
100% coming back to Nova; can’t recommended enough!

Came here today for Valentines. My partner and I were here previously maybe 4 years ago.
Pretty disappointed by the food unfortunately. It feels like the quality may have gone down since our last visit.
I love the interior and we had great service, just docking points off because of the food:
-Prime Rib was a bit overdone/not juicy, nothing special really
-We payed $35 for 5 pieces of Nigiri, 4 standard cuts and 1 toro. The sushi rice was not sticky and kinda falling apart. Pretty disappointed on this one. On the standard menu its $30 for 6 pieces of nigiri
-The new birds nest Carbonara wasn’t seasoned well and was just really flat/ not enjoyable (there was very little salt for some reason)
-Tuna w/ crispy rice, honestly the best tasting item. Sadly the tuna to rice proportion is pretty depressingly meager
Maybe NOVA can change my mind at a later date but as of now I am pretty disappointed after spending $200 on two okay-ish drinks and the aforementioned food.
The first time I came was genuinely exciting. They had a unique cocktail special for squid games and their menu was distinct and very well priced. Not feeling that same energy this time.

This place is a MUST-TRY! It’s perfect for date nights, celebrating occasions, or if you’re just wanting some amazing Japanese fusion food!
We got the private room to celebrate a friend’s birthday and we all had a blast. The room had karaoke as well.
The food, service, and atmosphere was 10/10. My favorite dishes were the Wagyu Ribeye, the Nigiri assortment, and the chicken wings. Every dish tasted super fresh and was bursting with flavor.
Big shoutout to our server Jay and the manager Brandon for taking care of us the entire night!

Easily one of the best places for sushi I have ever been to. The flavors, the way the fish was cut, the drink and the dessert were absolutely amazing. Even the bathroom soap had a special scent! My waiter Jay was also patient and helpful with my choices. The atmosphere was wonderful, although it got a little loud towards the busier time.

Great place for a date night or with some friends.
We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Our server Jonathan, was attentive and super nice! He made sure we were taken care of and made sure to refill our waters and clear out plates quickly.
My partner had the Sunset in Kyoto and I had the Pink Dragon drinks – both refreshing! Our favorite dish was definitely the mushroom toast, which I would probably eat three more plates of ☺️
Overall, great experience!

I was craving a lychee martini. He made a wonderful recommendation and we left beyond satisfied his expertise professionalism good vibes overall 10 out of 10 definitely will be back again.

I need to start off by saying I am incredibly particular about how food is prepared (over/under cooked, under seasoned, complimentary flavors, ect). Every single dish we had was perfection in every bite. The wagu was buttery and well seasoned. The little spurts of salt crystals were a great little surprise. The toro tartare was fresh along with the crostini.
Flavors all worked well together, including the drinks. Wait staff service was attentive and knowledgeable. I will be raving about this dining experience for years to come. Great work!

Nova Kitchen was a great find, especially if you’re staying nearby — it’s conveniently located close to the hotel and absolutely worth the visit.
The presentation alone deserves recognition. The floating noodles were both visually stunning and executed flawlessly — creative, intentional, and genuinely impressive. You could tell real thought went into the plating and overall experience.
Service was excellent. Jimmy and Jay took great care of us — attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. They elevated the experience and made the evening feel relaxed and special.
If you appreciate thoughtful presentation, inventive dishes, and strong service, Nova Kitchen really delivers. Would absolutely return.

Went to NOVA Kitchen & Bar for a work dinner and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was lively but still perfect for conversation, and the food was absolutely amazing.
Our waiter, Koda, was fantastic—super informative, patient, and genuinely helpful when walking us through the menu and making recommendations. His service really elevated the whole evening.
Great vibes, great food, and great service. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it for both work dinners and nights out.
