    Why didn't the Sun go to college? Because it already has millions of degrees :D Ok enough with the jokes, time to get Sirius. My wife and I came here on a Saturday. Or was it on a Moon-day? Anyway, it wasn't busy and we didn't have trouble finding a parking space. As I explored the expansive boba menu my eyes gravitated towards an unfamiliar one, sesame milk tea. I was feeling adventurous (I am a Pisces) and got it with 75% sweetness. It was out of this world! It tasted mildly sweet and a bit nutty. I liked the flavor of my wife's (unmodified) Thai tea honey lemon, but it was astronomically sweet. One more sip would have launched my blood sugar level to the moon! As we sipped our drinks we admired the space themed interior. There's three tables for two, a pair of chairs, a bench, and a kids picnic table. Prices are on par with other boba places. Great service! The employee was hospitable and we didn't have to wait a light year for our drinks. Overall, I had a stellar experience at Nova Boba!

    Owner was very sweet and happy to take our order right when they opened! My husband got the honeydew milk tea as a frappe with brown sugar boba. He loves boba and said it was an amazing flavor! I got the mocha frappe and really enjoy it! I love sweeter coffees and the size is great! The store itself was very cute and the theming is well done and matches the cups. We're definitely going back again!

    The service was excellent, and the staff we spoke with were very friendly. The interior ambiance is a bit small, but that's expected for a boba shop. However, it had a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The boba was also quite good, and I particularly enjoyed the matcha coco.

    Amazing new boba place in town! They had such a fun menu to choose from. There are lots of fun options for different types of Thai tea as well! You can also make your own and there are different bases? Flavors and boba to add! We tried the strawberry Thai tea and the lemon tea. Both were delicious! And the lemon tea tasted like we were back in Thailand. Very friendly staff and can't wait to go back!

    This boba spot is ok. It's located at a busy area, just across the street from Epicenter (Higley & Ray) in Gilbert. It is also located next to a pretty decent Thai place, Ta Lew Thai Bistro. The place was pretty compact, were the max capacity of about 20 people. It's pretty clean and quiet, except when you go in and out of their bathroom. The bathroom and door did not have a soft clothes mechanism so when you go in and out of it, the door slams pretty loud. The menu was decent, but it did not one of my favorite flavors, Ube and avocado. I had a sesame milk tea with coconut jelly, my wife had a taro milk, tea, 200% sweetened, with crystal Boba, and my kids shared a strawberry frappe with regular Boba. The sizes were pretty OK, but they put too much ice. It was worth a try being new in the neighborhood, but I think we'll go to our usual Boba spot.

    This place has been my go-to boba spot in town with reasonable price and friendly service. And I'm so happy that they added sushi on their menu now! I tried their epics roll and combo tuna with my favorite drink(sesame milk). Everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu.

    Excellent Thai Tea and they have a ton of Thai tea variations. My favorite is the strawberry jam Thai tea. But all the drinks are good! Staff is so friendly. It's in a great location too!

    They are new and very friendly. Family owned and Boba is good. Must try will be going again!

    Here's yourI just ordered the beef bowl and sushi, and I was really impressed. The flavors were amazing, and the portions were so generous! I wasn't expecting to get that much food, but it was definitely worth it. They also had boba, which was a great bonus!

    Amazing service. Chill vibes. Yummy tea!!! I've been about 4 times now and never disappoints

    Fresh Milk Brown Sugar with Boba

    I have boba pretty regularly. The boba was definitely old and was not a good texture at all. It tasted like when you leave boba in your fridge overnight, too soft and unpleasant. I do not recommend this place, there are far better options around.

    Thai Tea Strawberry w brown sugar boba and oat milk

    Will be returning to try all the flavors! We just walked in on a whim and were greeted right away! Ordered off the tablet in the front and got a Thai tea strawberry! Best boba drink I've had in Gilbert! I love the way this place was decorated as well

I took off a star due to the lady with the silver chain around her neck, who was handling seating people/to go orders up front. She had an attitude towards me and other customers, and I heard her distinctly yell at one of the waitresses because she made a mistake. Not a good look for your business to have such a disgruntled worker.

    My wife and I were HUGE Temari fans. They had the best sushi in the state hands down. Everything we…read moreloved about it is gone with the new owners. Rolls are smaller and taste like grocery store sushi rather than quality restaurant sushi. The sauces are different and used way more sparingly, the cuts of the ingredients are inconsistent. The rice tastes cheaper and the fish and fruits are unrecognizable. The Baja roll and Primo rolls use to be my favorite rolls anywhere. I ordered both and I honestly couldn't even finish the Baja roll. Cheap fish, canned fruit, almost no sauces. I'd honestly rather pay $25 a roll to have the old rolls back rather than these new versions. Sadly, I probably won't ever return unless they go back to the old level of quality for their rolls. RIP.

The quality of the sushi and the service has deteriorated. I remember the warmth in the service at the sushi bar before and that is completely gone...I have given it a few (maybe five or six) tries since they changed ownership and I think I'm to the point where it's clear that the disappointment is not just because they're new. The sushi is just not good. I have to stop coming here and it's a bummer because I live super close and used to love it. The green tea was even bad- all I could taste was hot tap water and it cost me $4.25 Not worth spending money there.

    I came to this restaurant after spending all day at the hospital across the street for my daughter…read moreso I was hungry and emotionally drained. When I walked in, I was promptly directed to where I should go so I could place a takeout order. The genuine courtesy of the staff here was just what I needed after a long day. Lots of great options for sushi but ramen sounded amazing on a chilly winter day. I ordered a couple options and requested for the toppings to be separated so my picky eater could pick out what she didn't like. The food was out promptly and packaged with such care. Once I got it back to my daughter's hospital room, we were able to feast on the best meal we had all day. I will definitely be coming back to this place again and I am grateful for their kindness just when I needed it. Highly recommend!

Our server was attentive, happy hour was good and everything came out quickly. The cucumber salad was super refreshing and gyoza were yummy with a delicious sauce. We ordered sake bombs, and I absolutely love that they serve them with frosty chilled glasses. We tried two different ramen bowls and both were packed with flavor. The spice levels felt pretty accurate, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Each bowl had its own flavor profile, but both were equally delicious. We also tried the takoyaki (octopus balls). I was already getting full, so I wasn't as excited about them, but my boyfriend described them as a BBQ pancake bite. Overall, this is a great spot for ramen. I did notice the music was all girl bands and no boy bands. Clean restaurant, good service, flavorful food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

However this allows the staff to be more directly invested in your experience and keep the same level of quality in each dish. The fish is always fresh. The sushi rolls are creative enough to stand out from your local sushi restaurant but not over the top that the flavors get so mixed up that you're not sure what you're eating.

My wife and I both talked afterwards about how she pleasant and sweet spirited she was, super helpful and knowledgeable. She was outstanding! I will say, the master chef is busy. Lots of orders come in. And he rotates them so everyone gets part of their order. Be patient. Enjoy your company. Catch up. Slow down. It's so worth it. And as am I am writing this, my wife texts me again. "That sushi was so delicious". Shes right. It was.

The restaurant is fairly large, and seems like a lot of people like coming here for family/friend dinners. Like the name insists, the teppanyaki is the way to go. Their menu isn't that large, so it was pretty easy to make a decision. I opted for the filet mignon (rare) along with shrimp. Teppanyaki is really more of a show/experience, so the food comes out to you in sections (versus all at once like at a traditional restaurant). The filet was so soft, and was perfectly rare, and the shrimp was so good. I think in the future I'd eat a whole plate of shrimp. I also got to try the yakiniku, and that was also pretty good but very sweet. Their Boo Yah Ka roll was also pretty yummy. It's essentially a spring roll, but with some spice and citrus to it. I felt that the portion was good for a large meal, but my friend who got the chef's combo definitely had enough for leftovers.

We arrived a little early, so they told us we could sit at the bar & have a drink. We sat there for 15+ minutes & the girl getting things ready for the bar totally ignored us. Right before we were seated someone else took our drink order & said she'd bring them to the table. Hubby got a beer & I got a Tito's & cranberry juice. We ordered an appetizer. While we were waiting they sat another 4 with us. We all expected dinner & a "show", but none of us expected the show we got. One of the staff started screaming at another staff member. We had no idea what the female staff member was saying since her words were not in English. She was so loud & screaming in the bar area so the entire restaurant could hear her. A couple of staff members tried to claim her dow. This went on for several minutes. It was crazy. All us customers were silent & just looking at the girl screaming & yelling. The next thing we know, round two. It was unbelievable. What was even crazier was they didn't send the staff member home! No one came over & said a word. No one apologized or said anything. After all of this, they sat couple with us. Finally the chef came to the table. By this time it was 20 til 6:00. Hubby got the filet with fried rice. I got the shrimp with fried rice. The food was good. However, hubby's steak was over cooked. Thankfully, hubby told the chef he wanted to change the steak from medium to medium rare, or it would have been even more over cooked. I also watch all of the employees but one prepping the food without gloves. This used to be our go to place for, but now with all this issues this time, we will probably have to find a new place.
