Had a great time here! Service was fast and my glass always had water. We ordered the shumai, gyoza, love boat for two, and a sushi lover. Sushi was fresh and loved the salmon! Would come again! read more

Seeing rave Yelp reviews for Nova, we decided to venture over to Edgewater to see if we had a hidden gem nearby. We are very much Thai fans, and the possibility of a great Thai place with great sushi was sounded almost too good to be true. And it was. Perhaps it's the dearth of quality Asian cuisine here in the Annapolis area that has falsely produced such high marks for Nova, but we found our fare to be adequate at best. (Two from our dinner party opted for the descriptor of "meh") The ambiance is cute - clean, bright, with exceptionally friendly (and numerous!) waitstaff. Our servers were helpful and attentive and we had high hopes for the experience. We started with three sushi rolls: Edgewater, Yoda, and one other whose name escapes me . The rolls were good. Not earthshatteringly good - just solid. Like a dependable Chevy truck. We also tried the sizzling steak and the chicken pad Thai. Both were almost over sauced. The pad Thai had a nice sour note (a hallmark of the dish) but it almost felt like the noodles were swimming in the sauce and, in my opinion, the noodles began to break down as a consequence. The sizzling steak felt cloyingly sweet to me - but the others in the group were quite as put off as I was. Again - making the meal simply "fine" As much as we hoped to find that hidden gem - we found that we need to continue our search for Asian cuisine in the area read more

The food, service, and atmosphere were all great. We ordered crispy salmon rolls, salmon skin rolls, a yoda roll, a Green Bay roll, king crab roll(actually real crab), and a Philly roll. All were good except for the yoda and Philly roll, which were ok. The service was fast and our waitress refilled our waters frequently. The interior was nice and piano music was playing in the background. read more

My family and I have been coming here for years and it's some of the best sushi around, period. Try the tuna dumpling appetizer for an outrageously luscious treat and do not pass up the Green Bay roll, with mango and masago. Yummy! read more

Got a large to go order from here today (note to self, don't order when very hungry). While there were some very good rolls, two of them highly disappointed us. For future we will always get the spicy tuna, crazy eel, unagi sushi, and Alaska. The American dream was still decent because of the variety of fish though every time we've had it the wrapper falls apart. The major disappointment was the Chesapeake bay roll, never again. I in fact started choking on it because the wrapper does not chew apart well and I had to dig it deep out of my throat (pull out whole). 95% of this roll was lettuce and the most expensive- close to $19 I'm not one to have something sent back but if we ordered this in the restaurant, I definitely would not accept this roll. Would give my experience today a 3.5 rating. Keeping a note on my phone of order to get from here from now on. read more

Sushi was mid, & it took a long time for the miso soup to come out. Our server (asian young lady with glasses) had a pretty condescending demeanor towards me and my friend, honestly felt very racial motivated since me and my friend are of color and we were speaking our native language at the table most of the time.... Also I asked if they had mango sticky rice for dessert ( most asian restaurants do ) she replies with an attitude saying "this isn't a Thai restaurant" ok my bad?? wouldn't recommend, there is better sushi in annapolis like Yama in West st & Joss in Downtown annapolis. read more

I travel for business and eat out too much. That being said, this establishment continues to offer great food, great service and great prices in a clean location. What more do you desire? I used to go into Annapolis for my sushi fix. I have not been there for years because of Nova. You would not expect the quality from a strip mall location, but they deliver. And, parking in front is never an issue. read more

Great fresh sushi. Their curries are also delicious. The staff is very friendly, tentative and quick.

I craved General Tso's shrimp, so I went back for a second time. This time, I decided to add an order of Shrimp fried rice. While the rice tasted good, I was very disappointed with the amount given for 18 dollars. I will admit that they put big-quality shrimp in the rice, but I should have been given more. read more

Nova has the best sushi in the area! Everything from their sushi rolls to sashimi to shrimp curry and fried rice. You can go wrong. And the owners are amazing and always kind and engaging!! read more

Great lunch specials and service. Sushi was great! From the outside it doesn't look like much and we didn't know if it was open because it was dark but everything inside is extra clean. read more

I will for sure be back! Customer service at this place was a one. We were greeted and seated immediately the sushi was wonderful. My husband ordered a love boat and I will just let him get it because he's been wanting a laptop that we came back to the mainland. Octopus on the boat it's really tasty. My Gyoza was cooked perfectly I also had some sort of some sushi that had eel on it. I can't remember the name but that was pretty tasty too. This is probably some of the best sushi I've had in a really long time! I definitely plan on visiting this place we we have our next night out! read more

Had dinner here with a friend for the first time tonight. Doesn't look like much from the outside in a shopping center that has a lot of vacancies. Went inside and only one table left and then people waiting after we were sat. Sashimi Plate was great with good sized portions. Miso soup was great. My friend had a couple of their maki rolls. Highly recommend. Only complaint would be $10 for a Sapporo tall boy. read more

Not bad at all! Recently got takeout on a visit to family and we all enjoyed our food very much. We got a few of the sushi rolls to try out. Overall not bad. The spicy tuna had a lot of filling, which was good. We read on Yelp to try to Asian style nuggets, and they didn't disappoint. While they were smaller than I'd expected, they were well-seasoned with a nice spice mix. Vegetable tempura appetizer was a lot of food for the price, and a good variety of veggies. Would get this again. I also read that the beef lo mein is the best, but they were out of beef that day, so we opted for chicken. It was okay; maybe next time, beef lo mein. The chicken and broccoli dish was also a pleasant mix of well-cooked vegetables and lots of pieces of chicken. All in all, pretty decent! read more

My favorite place in Edgewater for some shrimp fried rice!! I ordered to go and was given an accurate time for pick up!!

Takeout was delicious and reasonably priced for high quality sushi. We will be ordering from here again.

Sushi was amazing, some of the best in the area! Highly recommend. My husband and I are usually picky about sushi but 5 stars! read more

All good. Parking easy. Private booths. Good soup and boxes. Not too noisy. Service fast and wait staff knows menu. Barb, Annapolis read more

Ordered the house salad, crispy calamari, California roll, shrimp tempura roll and the Edgewater roll. Everything was very good I'd notice the service to along time they were crazy busy. Also the seaweed paper was very dry and unraveled on the tempura roll where roll pieces kept falling apart. Heard allot of great reviews about this place. I hope they figure out how keep up with their growing business. I will try again for lunch when it's not as busy for my second try. I will be upgrading my post if my experience warrants it. read more

Consistent, quality food. We always do take out and the order has always been right. I love that you can get brown rice.

Hands down the best sushi in town. They also don't skim on the ginger which is rare these days!

An unassuming sushi bar located in a grocery mall in Edgewater MD. This small eatery has few seats, but they are spacious and the atmosphere is somewhat cozy. Staff is very friendly, and service is fast. The sushi here is good, but a bit on the saucy side. They do have some unique rolls that are not on menus at other nearby sushi places. Definitely worth giving a try to sample some of their signature rolls. Maybe you can even ask for light sauce or sauces on the side too. read more

Sunday afternoon lunch at Nova was wonderful. Arrived just as the restaurant opened and we were seated immediately. This restaurant seems like a local favorite as the restaurant quickly filled up with diners and people picking up carry out orders. We ordered a few dishes: seaweed salad, avocado rolls and the sushi special which came with a choice of soup or salad. My friend went with Miso soup. The food was really good. Gobbled up the seaweed salad, The Pad Thai (with chicken and shrimp) wasn't too spicy, noodles were cooked to perfection and the portion was just right. My friend loved the sushi platter. Would like to visit in the evening to see if there'd be music playing because it could make for a nice way to begin a Friday night. read more

4.5 stars but I'll give it 5 because the Chirashi was great and so was our service. The sushi roll was just ok as they add a little bit too much mayo to their spicy rolls. I would stick to their traditional sushi orders. A nice find in Edgewater as we were returning from Dewey Beach and needed a meal before getting back to DC. Would recommend! read more

Still loving this place! Soooo good. Kani salad is my fav. Service is always great - Although one thing I will say is when it's super busy they prioritize the take out orders while dine in customers wait 45 minutes to an hour for a roll to come out. Other than that everything is exceptional! read more

Many think this is the best Japanese food around and well priced. They are proud of their selections of fish and I haven't been disappointed. The restaurant has a long accommodating sushi bar if you like or table seating. The staff is knowledgeable and warm. The Tuna Dumpling is wonderful if they don't put too much sauce on it. read more

This is our favorite sushi place in the area. They are consistently good. I am a big sashimi eater and the pieces of fish are always nice and thick. My husband appreciates that there is the perfect balance of rice and fish in their rolls. We do mostly takeout, but our interactions with the staff have always been quick, efficient, and pleasant. read more
