Nova was a pleasant surprise as we had no dinner plans made for our Disneyland vacation. Even before checking into our hotel (the Hyatt Regency conveniently located next to Nova), we saw the huge sign on the side of the building advertising their happy hour. We decided to give it a try on our first night. Everything from the staff friendliness to the ambiance to the taste of the food was exceptional! The specialty drinks were delicious, and the happy hour prices were more than reasonable. Everything was so good that we went back for a second happy hour in a row. The second visit was just as enjoyable, so much that we decided to visit on Sunday to check out their all you can eat brunch. The selections were amazing with a few exceptions. Some standouts were the ube pancakes, matcha French toast, Toro tartare toast, and garlic scallop fried rice. Some items on the menu left more to the imagination such as the spicy tuna crispy rice, which had no distinct flavor, and the fried oysters. Outside of those selections, the brunch options were amazing and worth the cost. Shout out to Ryan and Koda for the hospitality, and the bartenders that served us during happy hour. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone visiting Orange County! read more

Awesome food, and better service from Jimmy. We ordered about 10 different dishes and we loved all 10. I was taken when we walked in the entrance and first thing i thought was this is out of my price range but it was affordable for what we got. I wish I took some pictures of all the delicious food. read more

First of all, our server Ryan was absolutely amazing. Very kind and attentive. I've been here over 2 years ago and saw their social media post regarding their seafood buffet being brought back. However, the establishment overall needs a ton of work. I went to the seafood buffet on July 5th (they advertised they were bringing back the crab legs/sushi buffet just for today, for now). It was horrendous. No signs whatsoever by each dish, so that was a huge no-no in my perspective. People need to know what sauces and ingredients they are grabbing. From a food safety and sanitation POV, it failed epically. The sushi was just ok, but I wasn't expecting too notch stuff. Still pretty good. The crab legs and shrimp cocktail were decent. The hot foods were very mid, in exception to the fried rice. So out of their 20+ items, we only enjoyed 3-4 dishes. Overall, I wish they had a better buffet layout, options, and presentation. I've never been to a buffet that doesn't have any menu cards, so all the guests were just as confused as I was. "Is this Tabasco or cocktail sauce?" "Does this fried rice have pork?" Etc. AND they ran out of ginger at the sushi station by 1:30pm and no original Tabasco (just the green or smoky kind). This affected our seafood and sushi experience heavily. Pretty disappointed as I took my family here for my mother's birthday. We literally had to apologize to her and make it up for dinner because this was NOT birthday worthy. read more

Our family of 8 celebrated Father's Day dinner at Nova, and we had a wonderful experience. Make sure to validate your parking, they have plenty of parking available. The restaurant itself is beautiful, classy, and has a great ambiance. The hosts and servers were all friendly and attentive. A special shoutout to our server for recommending the Father's Day special; otherwise, we probably would have spent much more! We ordered the tomahawk special with two additional steaks for $120, Floating Garlic Noodles, Sashimi Platter, Pork Belly Bao, Dragon Breath sushi roll, sinigang wings, and for dessert, the Matcha tiramisu and Chocolate Ganache Cake . We also enjoyed their $5 draft beers and sake. For a family of 8, our total came out to less than $500, which was a great value considering the quality and amount of food. Everything we ordered was delicious, the service was excellent, and the overall atmosphere made our Father's Day celebration extra special. We'll definitely be back! read more

Wanting elegant, upscale Asian fusion food? I've always been looking for a stylish spot for celebrations... until I found Nova. Located right next to the Hyatt Regency Orange County and just minutes away from Disneyland Resort!! Check out ths Dragon's Breath! What. The. Flame. And speaking of celebrations... we're here celebrating our first Catalina trip! I mean, yeah... we're eating this fresh sashimi after spending the day looking at fish. The irony is not lost on us. So let's get into some meat! Kung Pao Chicken and a Chashu Bowl. Taking familiar favorites and presenting them in a refined way. Also, the Cornstar Cream Mocktail. So trendy!

This place is dangerous. I knew that eating here might cause a gout flare up. My wife had picked this place for Mother's Day brunch. I didn't have a choice. They had all the high purine foods possible for a flareup like crab, shrimp and prime rib. All favorites of mine. They had breakfast items like sausage, bacon and waffles. I don't know if they do this weekly, but, they did have a guy distributing the crab legs. Our empty plates were regularly cleared. They have a good brunch. Take the gout pill prior to eating here. You can eat more without fear. read more

Saw all the great reviews so we decided to try this place for Father's Day. Being close to Disneyland I was worried about the parking, but they have a parking lot that they share with the Residence Inn that they validate so parking is easy. The ambiance is really nice and the staff is very friendly. They had a Father's Day special which included three steaks that was a very good deal. Unfortunately we asked for medium rare but they all came out medium well so the only steak that tasted good was the rib eye. I would recommend trying a steak as the flavors were good. We ordered a bunch of sushi that were good (not great). I did really enjoyed their vegetarian fried rice with egg served on a hot plate and their pork belly charshu bowl. We shared the strawberry panna cotta and it was ok. read more

Finally! This restaurant has been on my saved list for years and I finally got to go. As a walk-in on a Friday night I only had to wait 10 or 15 minutes to be seated. The restaurant did seem to be shortstaffed, but everyone was working as the best as they could. OK, let's get into the food review part: Yellowtail and jalapeño- 4/5 Tuna tartare -3/5 Miso cod-3/5 Fried chicken bao-4/5 Floating noodles-3/5 Baked scallop roll-4/5 Spicy tuna on crispy rice-3/5 Molten chocolate cake-4/5 Mango mochi-5/5 The food was good, but not great. I really appreciated the fact how fast the food came, but the noodle dish was a little on the cold side and some of the flavors of the dishes just didn't excite me as much as I had hoped for. I also ordered a couple of cocktails that were reasonably priced around $15 each that took a long time to arrive and were not good in my opinion but I kept them because it would take too long for something else to come out. My server Jay did a great job with being attentive. The aesthetics of this restaurant are nice and there is a private dining area, which would be a great to host a special occasion but for me personally I'm not in the biggest rush to come back. If I do come back, it would be for their homemade mango mochi, which was amazing along with their fried chicken bao. read more

What a horrible place. Besides the ambiance which is great! Everything else is horrible. It took the waiter 20 minutes to get a draft beer. That's was the 1st thing I ordered. Food: ordered a sushi which was horrible and seemed like it was pre-made was put in freezer and defrost and served it to us. The chow mean was dry no flavors at all. It took the waiter forever to get soy and chillies sauce by that time the food was cold. The edamane was cold. The veggie and tofu was k, the tofu was crispy but no flavors very bland. The drinks were okay. Nothing special. Overall I would never come back to this place. read more

Ambiance - 5 Staff- 5 Food - 4.5 We made a reservation cause they allowed dogs and we wanted yummy food. The restaurant is gorgeous. When you walk into the lobby, there are coy fish projected on a wall and silvery things hanging from the ceiling to look like you're underwater. There are two sides to the restaurant. One side is very sleek and has the sushi bar and the other side is more loungy with a regular bar. We sat outside since we had the pup. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. We ordered a few items and had some drinks. They had a nice sale list as well. Sautéed edamame - yummy and garlicky. Zesty wonton with sauce on the side. I can't do spicy so I just dunked mine in some soy sauce. It was good. Chili oil wonton- my husband really liked these. 30 piece sashimi- nice big pieces of fish. The fish were split into 3 pieces each. Instead of all different types of fish, there were a few they repeated. They were good but usually when we get sashimi platters, we get different types of fish. We would certainly return and try some other items. read more

I originally posted a very critical review of Nova Kitchen & Bar due to several significant issues, specifically regarding the billing and service. However, I'm updating my rating because the management reached out to me directly to make things right. The manager was professional, apologized sincerely for the oversight, and took the time to correct the billing errors. It's nice to see a business being proactive about feedback, and I appreciate them standing behind their service. Based on this recovery, I'd be open to giving them another shot. read more

Cutely decorated. This place is more for vibes/ aesthetic and less for food. Would recommend reservations. Octopus w/ Japanese Herbs- 5/5: This was the highlight of the dinner. The sauce was citrusy and refreshing. Kung Pao Chicken- 3/5: Tastes like your average westernized kung pao dish. On the sweet side. There was a lot given and came with lots of rice. Double Hamachi Roll- 3/5: The sushi was mid, nothing special. Dan Dan Noodle- 3/5: Doesn't taste like your average Dan Dan noodles because of the Szechuan sauce. There was a bit too much sauce making it too salty and hard to eat. I think it would've been better if there was less sauce. read more

I loved: Fresh Wasabi Toro W/ Caviar Chocolate Ganache Cake Scallops W/ Uni Mushroom Toast I really liked: Freshwater Unagi Yellowtail Belly Sweet Shrimp Sunrise In Kyoto Toro Handroll Sashimi Salad Salmon With Fried Shallots And Truffle Oil South Korean Halibut Sealed Salmon W/ Pico De Gallo I liked: Ooo La Lada Green Tea Mochi Bluefin Tuna A great place to start is the Sashimi Salad. It's very refreshing, the fish is clearly high quality, and it sets the tone for the meal perfectly. The chef grinding fresh wasabi tableside is a thoughtful touch that you don't see often and it genuinely elevates the experience. Speaking of which, the Bluefin Tuna pairs beautifully with it. It's not the best I've had, but it's still a solid bite. Freshwater Unagi is better than your average unagi. Flavorful and well seasoned. The Yellowtail Belly is lightly buttery and a very satisfying bite. The Sweet Shrimp has some roe on it, is slightly sweet, and feels a bit more substantial than the other pieces. The Toro With Caviar is a standout. Super smooth texture and incredible flavor. The Toro Handroll is also quite good, though it doesn't quite reach the heights of the toro cut itself. Mushroom Toast delivers amazing umami and I love that it comes as two pieces, making it a more substantial course. An excellent change of pace. Scallops With Uni is super tasty. The flavors of both hit you instantly and everything tastes incredibly fresh. The South Korean Halibut has a clean flavor profile, though it's slightly difficult to chew. The Sealed Salmon W/ Pico De Gallo is a fun and tasty bite. The pico is a creative addition. The Salmon With Fried Shallots And Truffle Oil is good too, though the truffle oil is a slight contrast against the salmon and shallots. Still enjoyable overall. For drinks, the Sunrise In Kyoto is dangerously good. Not overly sweet and you can barely taste the alcohol. Very easy to over-order. The Ooo La Lada is a rum cocktail that runs a little strong but is still tasty. On the dessert side, the Chocolate Ganache Cake is rich and oozy with very heavenly chocolate. The ice cream and chocolate crumble complement it wonderfully, and the fresh fruit adds a bright, bursting finish. The Green Tea Mochi is light and pleasant, though the flavor gets a bit lost after such a robust meal. Our server Calvin was exceptional. He was consistently on top of clearing plates and bowls, kept waters filled, and checked in regularly throughout the meal. He even brought moist towelettes right before I was about to ask for them. That's S+ service. I would only suggest that the chef wipe the serving stone between courses so the pictures turn out better haha. The ambiance is stunning. We asked for a quick tour and learned that each room is themed after a different element. The decor is beautiful and thoughtful throughout, and there's even a hidden karaoke room tucked away. Nova Kitchen & Bar clearly puts as much care into its atmosphere as it does its food.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

I believe our server's name was Alex. We came in with a group of 15+ people, and honestly, he absolutely crushed it the whole time. He stayed on top of everything, made sure everyone had what they needed, and checked in with us regularly without being too much. One person in our group ordered a drink they weren't really vibing with, and Alex was super chill about it and helped them get a replacement they actually liked. On top of that, he was always ready to help with whatever we needed and made our big group feel genuinely welcome. Huge shoutout to Alex for the awesome service and for making our experience such a great one! read more

I always love this place cuz of the ambiance and the food and drink choices. There's so many photo opps and so much food that I want to try. The drink menu looks beautiful and the choices are so good. Everything we ate was pretty good but I have to be honest on just a couple things. I didn't care for the sisig, had a few burnt pieces and I could taste it. And we ordered a seafood dish but I think the waiter forgot to put it in and I totally forgot about it. We were already done with everything else and didn't want to wait to get the last dish cuz it was getting busy so unfortunately, we didn't get to try that dish. Other than that, the parking situation sucked because they were only allowing overnight guests for the hotel to use the closer parking lot so I had to park all the way at the end and walk about 10min to the restaurant. read more

This place is now my favorite sushi spot!! The quality of the fish is impressive! The ratio of the rice, the fish and the freshness in the flavor was perfect! This is not your ordinary place where it's loaded with lots of spicy mayo, this place carefully crafted their menu without masking the taste with a bunch of ingredients. I almost want to gate-keep, but I just can't. I had to give them the review they deserve. The service is spectacular, they are very attentive! I was never missing a drink, and ordered about three different times. We ordered deserts for a birthday, and they delivered them without my son, realizing what was going on. Making a moment very special. The dim lighting on the lighting coming in from outside makes for perfect pictures and videos. Order the lychee drink!! Definitely order the double Hamachi. And if you're looking for a great show order the dragons breath. read more

Went to Nova Kitchen & Bar for the first time on Father's Day (6/21/2026) for dinner and we had a reservation for 5 people at 5:30pm. Given that we had a reservation, we didn't have to wait long to be seated, however we were seated in the the restaurant towards the left with the ramp going down to the tables and sushi bar. It was quiet, so quiet that we were the only ones seated in this particular section and we could hear the sushi staff talking in Korean. I did appreciate that the table was large enough to place all the entrees and side dishes we ordered, and it was easier to hear ourselves when trying to enjoy the food. We ordered the octopus, sinigang chicken wings, crab cake, garlic noodles, miso cod, and steak platter to share along with the chocolate ganache cake for dessert. The standouts were the sinigang chicken wings and the steak. The service was excellent, our server even accommodated our request to sit on the other side of the restaurant which almost had a dance club type feel with the lighting and ambiance. I wanted to be where the people were at and to see the decor as well as the bar. When I asked the server why we weren't sat on the more busier side in the beginning, he said it was because he was serving the side by the sushi bar which is usually the side that he serves. I thought it was because we came in with my dad who uses a four wheeled walker and they wanted us to sit on the more quieter side, but I did see another Asian man on the louder more happening side and he had a walker as well. I also noticed that there were other private rooms which would be great for parties. The parking was free and it was in a lot by the hotel on the property. Overall this was a five star experience and wouldn't mind coming back again, thank you Nova! read more

A group of friends and I went to Nova Kitchen for dinner on a Saturday. The place was packed with a vibrant collection of younger patrons! Everyone was having fun. The food here is pretty good. The service was outstanding. The experience was great! Brussel sprouts - amazing Mushroom toast - good Kalbi short ribs - pretty good Miso black cod - amazing Garlic noodles - pretty good!

7,815 mostly 5 star reviews? I dunno... The restaurant is in the Hyatt Regency Orange Country Convention Center complex...I didn't know this when I searched for a highly rated restaurant in Anaheim. I wish I had known this because I probably wouldn't have chosen it. But it was all of the raving reviews and the mere quantity of them that swayed my decision and well, Yelp, ya led me wrong for the first time! Ok, I realize I'm being a little harsh but there's no way this place is as good as all of these reviews. We were coming in from the South Bay to pick up my daughter and her boyfriend from their High School Winter Formal at the Anaheim Grove so the wife and I had a date night. Lots of reviews noted the elegant and sophisticated decor but I'm not so sure I would call hanging tinsel in the entrance of the restaurant or the nightclubby vibe terribly elegant. The space is massive with several different dining rooms; it's nice but terribly, terribly loud. We had made reservations on Opentable but when we got there, we were told that we'd need to wait 15-20 minutes for our table. Maybe that and having to find a parking space out in the massive and packed Convention Center parking lot left me with a bad taste in my mouth from the onset. As the host guided us to the bar to wait, he noticed that a table was, in fact, just being cleared so after ordering a drink at the bar, he came back over to bring us to our table. He was friendly and genuinely wanted us to be happy. The Beijing Fashion ($15) was tasty if on the smaller side. It was gone in just a few sips. Rombauer Chard ($16) was priced very reasonably for a solid Chard but the pour was ridiculous. My wife even took a pic. For our meal, we ordered the wings ($14), Dan Dan Noodles ($14), Double Hamachi Roll ($19) and an order of salmon belly nigiri ($9). I also ordered a Paloma with Mezcal ($18) and I just couldn't handle the girly glass it was served in so I asked for a rocks glass instead...lol. Food presentation was great, especially the Dan Dan Noodles. They tasted good, not amazing, with good heat but I think the flavor of the chili oil dominated the dish. The wings were solid with good crunch and the double Hamachi Roll was just as you'd expect; I enjoyed both. The salmon belly was good, not amazing. Usually good salmon and salmon belly are super tender with your teeth sinking into the flesh and it just melts in your mouth. This just wasn't like that at all. This salmon definitely had a bite and chew to it. Still good, but not amazing, like I said. Service was very good. Our waiter Kim Saur was very friendly and attentive. Reading the other reviews I was very happy that we had a better experience than some others. So...if in the area again, I probably won't pick Nova. The giant, packed convention center parking, the super clubby and loud atmosphere (not very elegant at all) and the fair fare (see what I did there?)...it just was not my cup of tea for what I was looking for. On the other hand, if you're looking for what seems to be a pretty fun, clubby spot while you're at the hotel or attending a convention, I don't think you'd be disappointed by the food. We were just pretty underwhelmed. read more

The servers are very nice and the food is very delicious and you get you food very quick!

Wanted to write this review about the service! Food was delicious all around, but our server Jay left more to be desired. We ordered the sisig and he took the serving spoon after mixing it and we had to use our forks and knives to serve ourselves since there's no other spoon. Our server also didn't check on us often even though there wasn't that many tables. He also missed a food item we ordered, and when we brought it up he said "i don't think you guys ordered that" instead of admitting his mistake. Everyone at our table definitely heard my friend order that item so it was a little off putting to hear him reply like that. After reading reviews I expected astounding service, so I was slightly disappointed last night. Food was delicious though! We got: Sisig 10/10 OMG Roll 10/10 Dragons Breath Roll 8/10 Wagyu Steak 9/10 a little too fatty but cooked perfectly Chili Oil Wonton 7/10 read more

Once again - ASIAN FUSION IS MY THING. During my visit to California, I knew what food I wanted to try for the first time. Nova was at the top of my list. Just reading the menu online had me salivating back at home. The ambiance is very sleek. Nice for a fun date night. I really like all the dishes I ordered! The brussel sprouts were prepared perfectly - shaved! It was more of a brussel sprout salad, which I really enjoyed. I promised myself I'd only order one roll - Seared with A Kiss. It was fantastic! The toro inside was super buttery. The wings were good too, especially the sauce that came on the side; it had a nice sour kick to it. Surprisingly, all the food came out very fast! Our server was nice and prompt. For parking, make sure you get it validated before you leave! I will definitely return. I heard they sometimes host a buffet. I went in and ate a la carte. read more

Came for Sunday brunch. Reservations on OpenTable. Cost was $69.99 per person and it featured king crab legs, snow crab leg clusters, giant shrimp cocktail pieces, sushi, and prime rib. The rest of the buffet had offerings you'd see at a Continental breakfast (pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon, eggs with peppers) and some Asian fare (fried rice, wontons, lumpia). What people come here for are the seafood offerings and it's not hard to get your moneys worth here (if that's your objective). Soft drinks are included. I really enjoyed my watermelon agua Fresca; however, the sodas were flat. The high-ticket crab/shrimp is served chilled with a side of butter, cocktail sauce, and horseradish. If you want a flavorful seafood boil, then this is not what they're doing here. Their prime rib was pretty good and the fish quality of the sushi was also exceptional. I enjoyed their bluefin toro and o-toro. Rice on the sushi could have been better. For the cost, they really feature their high-ticket steak and seafood and I'm certain that I got value; however, the basic breakfast and lunch options, outside of the high-ticket items, were very limited. I'd come back for Sunday brunch if I was craving unlimited king crab, shrimp cocktail, and snow crab. The ambiance here is nice, so I might consider coming for dinner or their weekday happy hour. They offer three hours validation on parking with the lot they share with the Hyatt regency next door. read more

Jimmy was so attentive! We rented the speakeasy area for my dad's Father's Day brunch -- he loves karaoke, so it was the perfect spot. We did the AYCE brunch and (the karaoke area for only $25 per person!) from 12 to 3pm, and everything was great: the sushi was fresh, and my favorites were the matcha French toast and the chicken and waffles.

Been wanting to try this place out after finding it on Yelp and seeing all the reviews and recommendations. Went around 6 on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy. We ordered alot of the recommendations we saw on yelp and we enjoyed most of it. The Wagyu Beef Skillet , mushroom toast and garlic noodz stood out the most and I highly recommend them. The miso cod had some flavor but a real fishy after taste I'm not sure if it was just the piece we had. The chili wontons were alright bug definitely wouldn't order again. The Hawk Ribeye had no real flavor and was slightly under cooked. The chocolate ganache cake was just a normal basic cake nothing too special. And the strawberry panna cotta was a big let down it was just whipped cream with strawberry sorbet. The service was alright even with it being a little less busy our server never really checked in on us. And the ambiance felt like we were in a Vegas night club and was a little dark with a little mood lighting and a giant LED wall in the back. I wouldn't go out of my way to return here unless someone in my party wanted to try it out and If I did come back I would probably just order the Wagyu Beef Skillet and garlic noodz with maybe a side of rice and a couple drinks. I would give this place like a 5.5 out of 10 only because of the Wagyu skillet. And I would give it a 3 1/2 stars if it was possible read more
