Nova Asian Bistro

Apr 7th, 2024

Went during a busy time. Witnessed and experienced the hostess (who is always there) being super rude! She literally took food away from a table just to rush them to finish since there was a wait. That table was very upset and annoyed. She offered us table for 2 when we asked for a table for 3 and a baby. She got frustrated when we expressed we're not going to fit, threw her hands up and said we're too busy we can't give you whatever you want Ummm, whatever we want? We cant even fit the baby properly in the tiny table she offered! Meanwhile there was a table for 4 available, but she split that up into 2 she can accommodate to seating more people. So disrespectful and such a turn off. She needs better customer service and etiquette. I guess our business wasn't good enough or worth her providing proper seating arrangements.

Best sushi in the area, hands down. I recommend this place to my friends and they all agree. It can get very busy on a Friday night. I love their all you can eat menu. The rolls are yummy, and they have an amazing variety of dishes and appetizers.

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.
