I found my new AYCE sushi spot and I couldn't be happier! Sushi Nova is in a plaza that has some other spots that I like which makes this a convenient location. It's not a large restaurant, but the service and quality are spot on. The variety of sushi from nigiri, sashimi, rolls, signature rolls, and even chef specials is refreshing to see. I loved the assortment to choose from, and the ratio of rice to fish was nicely balanced. There are appetizers and ice cream to choose from which make dining here a pleasure for a variety of palates. Service was friendly and checked in regularly ensuring we had drinks topped off and any new orders put in. My party enjoyed the presentation of sushi placed on a boat, the good service, and decor. This is a place to come back to for sure. read more

Time and time again, Sushi Nova continues to be a consistently FANTASTIC and delicious AYCE sushi spot. Anytime I've been in town and have a sushi craving, this is my go-to and has been for the past 5 years. Staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, the menu has a wide variety of options - including appetizers, traditional rolls, specialty rolls, and so on - and the food is always fresh, made-to-order, and leaves my tastebuds doing backflips! This time around, we ordered our usual appetizers - crab rangoons, shrimp shumai, chicken karaage, & miso soup - as well as a handful of rolls including the color dragon roll, regular dragon roll, fire dragon roll, yelllow tail roll, the sweet 16 roll, and an assortment of nigiri and sashimi. We ordered enough sushi to have it served on a boat (which is always such an exciting feeling!!). As usual, everything was fresh and tasty! The highlights of our sushi boat were definitely the fire dragon roll and the color dragon roll; DYNAMITE flavor! With all that being said, I highly recommend Sushi Nova to all folks that are willing to make the drive out to Westmont and are open to having a delicious experience with loved ones! read more

Great value of course when you get all you can eat. It certainly is the reason so many people like this Westmont sushi restaurant. Sushi Nova is much better than it looks because the place is so unassuming. Fill up on the best stuff that doesn't taste like it was premade hours ago. The only thing is just eat it all or they will charge you for leftovers. Coming here at lunch is the best value you can get. It's also open at dinner when there's more stuff. The restaurant actually wasn't that busy the last time. Apparently enough that it got slow at times waiting for food. The prices are okay for each roll but why not just get as much as possible and not pay for more. It's about $25 at lunch. You fill out a paper. Appetizers include miso soup, and salad, along with things like sesame balls. Of course the rolls are the main thing. Get as many as you can. We got the Avocado, the Oshinko, and the Shiitake rolls. In the last one they put eel sauce on it. Just be sure to leave it off even though the rolls are in the vegetarian section. They have dinner at about $32 and this has even more options. Get fancier rolls that previously weren't available. There's a crap ton for real and it's a wonder people aren't rolled out after getting stuffed. Has a lot to choose from like a buffet but it's still all you can eat. It's closed Mondays. There's meaty items and seafood but it has plenty of things for vegans and vegetarians. read more

We were in a mood for some sushi so we decided to check out Sushi Nova after a nice day out. It was our first time there so we didn't know what to expect. We got seated pretty quickly and service was fast. The sushi options were also huge with lots and lots of options to choose from. The sushi was pretty standard. My only complaint is that they put wayyyyy too much rice on the nigiri. I don't usually mind it but it just felt imbalanced. The restaurant has very strict rules about ordering your sashimi only after you've ordered a roll. I ordered a roll the first time I ordered and forgot to put down that I wanted sashimi so I added it to my next order but they rejected me; saying it had to be in the order form from the first time I ordered which makes no sense. If you're going to put so much rice on the nigiri you can at least let us order more sashimi so we don't end up wasting food. Thankfully our server was nice enough to talk to the managers and got us the sashimi anyway. All in all it was okay. I think our experience was tainted a bit so I'm not sure if I would be coming back. read more

For an AYCE this is a pretty decent place. They aren't heavy handed with the rice like other AYCE sushi places can be. We ordered a few appetizers (which I think our waitress forgot about), a couple of rolls, some sashimi and nigiri. Everything was well done and tasty. The service was a little odd. There was only one waitress for the whole place, which isn't large, but was busy. She was a little slow, se we didn't get to order any more after our first round. The restaurant is clean and the workers seem friendly. I would recommend getting more waitstaff, but maybe someone was out sick. We may go back for lunch, it's a little less expensive then. read more

I didn't want to get the all you can eat when I came in, but the lady scared me saying I'm not allowed to share or anything, so I got suckered in getting the all you can eat. Was it worth it? Unless you're really hungry, it's not. Their sushi is delicious, but I totally ate until I was going to throw up because they charge you if you don't finish. The whole time you feel like they're watching you lol, seeing if you're going to finish or not. Their crab Rangoon is delicious as well. I didn't like the jalapeño poppers, it had tuna in it. I'd like to come back for just regular sushi, I just didn't like the pressure of the all you can eat experience. The seating area is very casual, I was it's expecting a more high end experience, but it's just a regular place in a shopping center. read more

Stopped here for dinner today with my best friends. Upon arrival I found out this is an all you can eat sushi joint. We ordered the Crab Rangoons and Scallops for our appetizers following with 8 different sushi rolls. Everything was good and tasted fine. Worth checking out if you are craving a lot of sushi. read more

Service: 10/10 Food: 9.5/10 Price: fair We wanted to find a closer sushi place by us where the sushi was good & tasty. For $30/ person for all you can eat menu you get a great selection to choose from. The angry dragon roll is our favorite by far. I wish there were more special rolls that would only have shrimp and crab as the base (like the angry dragon roll) bc I can't have all types of fish but the sushi is great. There's also this crab tempura app in the chef special selection that is so flavorful which we love! It's a cute cozy spot for a sushi date with friends or loved ones. The staff is also friendly and the service is attentive. read more

Been here twice in the last month and each time left full and happy. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating. The all you can eat menu is great and the quality of ingredients is good. Each signature roll comes out with 6-8 large pieces. The rolls are big and delicious. The restaurant is small with maybe 12 tables and may feel out quick but if you have a taste for sushi it's worth the wait Must try appetizer for me is the sesame balls. I am also a huge fan of the nigiri and their selection is great. Don't forget to finish the experience with red bean or green tea ice cream read more

Not big on AYCE at my age. Usually I feel like the quantity over quality isn't worth it. BUT, this place has ikura as part of their selection. And it was pretty good. I feel like I haven't seen that at other sushi buffets, so that was unique enough to make the place stand out to me. I would steer clear of the fried items, the batter is kind of heavy and just not worth filling up on when you can have nigiri. The fish quality itself is what you expect. But it really is a good deal. Cute inside. Not super big, but enough space if you want to go with a big group during the day. The waiters were all very nice and attentive. Not worth driving out of your way to go here, but if you're in the area, then it's pretty good place to get your sushi fix! read more

Sushi Nova - Sushi Bars Near Me - Westmont, Illinois

I've been here twice before my most recent visit a couple weeks ago. The first two times I thought it was really good. The sushi was good and all you can eat price was great. My opinion has since changed since my last visit. I was with two other people and we all got the all-you-can-eat Sushi. The service was poor and the server was not attentive. The worst part about it is it was at least almost 90° out and there was no air-conditioning! At least none that I could feel. I was with my daughter and she asked the server if they could turn on the air only for the server to turn around and turn on a fan! It just made me think if a restaurant can't keep itself cool is the Sushi being kept cool? That definitely was a concern of mine. We proceeded to eat our dinners and the sushi was OK.... didn't seem as good as the previous times I was there, but maybe that's because it was so darn hot in the restaurant! God forbid you get something that you don't like or they make improperly. My daughter didn't like her role and told the server that the texture was off, and she just couldn't stomach it for some reason. The server was quite rude and made it very clear to us that she will only accepted back this once. They have a strict rule that if you don't finish everything on your plate, they actually charge you for it. I mean, I understand that they don't wanna waste food, but by the same token if something doesn't taste right to somebody they shouldn't be given an attitude when they take it back. Not to mention it's hard to always know how much you can eat. I did not over order and I was really full and I felt like I had a stuff myself with the last four pieces so I wouldn't be charged. I left way over stuffed. So I think there should be some leeway on the all-you-can-eat rule..... It seems a little silly to me unless they want you to order one thing at a time and then the staff would be running constantly back-and-forth. Overall, after my last experience, I will not be returning. There's so many better choices for Sushi better ambience better service and even better Sushi. read more

For a group of 11 people, they accommodated us really well. Our waitress was very patient and made sure we got everything we ordered if not she was flexible. Great appetizer, sushi, and dessert selections ! I think it's worth it for price. read more

Sushi Nova is amazing! The quality is great. The service is decent. The only downside is they don't have any non sushi options so my hubby won't go. Otherwise I would visit more often. read more

What a pleasant surprise, this is a made to order all you can eat sushi restaurant. The selection was very good and fish was fresh and tasty. Only complaint was the nori was not the best quality but for all you can eat it was just fine. Atmosphere was very nice and the wait staff was attentive. Went during the week and only 4 tables were occupied. Next time in Chicago will be back for sure. read more

We arrived to the restaurant that sits around the corner from a grocery store. The directions had us turning into the grocery store then turn around the corner. Was a bit confusing but we found it. It was a couple hours til closing so it was empty and with a couple tables. The adults did the all you can eat option. We ordered individual plates for the kids. So busy talking and eating we forgot to take pictures. We ordered edamame, soft shell crab and calamari for appetizer. Good first portions as that would limit the sushi we would order. We all ordered a variety of nigiri, sashimi and maki. The amount of rice wasn't overwhelming so didn't get to full after the first helping. We will add this as a place to return too. Pics next time. read more

On a rainy day, me and my sister were craving the best food ever: Sushi. As we walked in we got seated right away. Service is good and quick. Me and my sister ordered a couple sashimi and 3 rolls. Got our food in 15 minutes. (ALL YOU CAN EAT) Ambiance was calm and music was great, lots of old and new trendy songs, it's dim and relaxing, love the artwork on the walls and comfortable seating. First complaint I have is the water. When we got it I noticed a black spec floating in the water. We weren't sure what it was, but if I were to guess, I could've been mildew. We asked for a now cup and it didn't have any, but it seems that the cups had stickers inside of them and the residue wasn't removed which can peel off with a straw and leave micro paper floating in the water. We decided to drink from our own water bottles at that point... Appetizers were good, edemame was tender, chewy and perfectly salted. Fried oyster is crunchy in the outside soft and melts in your mouth on the inside. Baked mussel was okay, chewy but bland, and overpriced. (2 for 6.50?) The sushi came in 15 minutes and the servings were huge. The Philadelphia roll was filled with salmon and cream cheese and it was so soft and creamy. Love it! The sashimi was super fresh. Not fishy at all. Best sashimi I've had in a while. We enjoyed it so much we decided to get a second round! (Disclaimer if you do AYCE: every roll you can only get 3 sashimi) read more

Cute place in a very crowded strip mall. We did have to circle a few times to find parking. We were promptly seated, but the restaurant was fairly crowded. It did take a little bit to get our food. The waitress was hustling. It seemed like she had the entire restaurant. All you can eat! For under $30 per person. Cute place. read more

Service was fabulous we came In with a baby under a yr old Food was everywhere bud boy so nice & polite etc I ended up giving him $20 alone because he was so sweet about all the mess etc and because of his excellent customer service and care he showed us!

2nd time here, first review. Great place for great sushi. It's in the corner of a strip mall, and it's easy to miss. If you get here late or on the weekend, parking can be hard to find. It's a decent size restaurant. They offer all you can eat, which I totally suggest. Depending on your order, don't be surprised or mad if service takes a bit. They don't have a large staff, and some sushi rolls are time-consuming. The sushi is flavorful, colorful, and aesthetically pleasing. Give this place a try. read more

We are back again! Craving sushi and we knew just the place. My gosh the sushi is fantastic. Every roll was beautifully presented, excellent quality and delicious. So impressed by this little casual restaurant tucked away in a small shopping center. We ended up doing the all you can eat however you can also order off the menu. The service we received was friendly and attentive. Great experience, read more

3 stars. No reservations needed as they take first come first serve. Located in a plaza next to Katy's dumpling restaurant. I like the variety of sushi rolls compared to another suburban location. I filled up on the appetizer as they were all delicious. The dessert was okay but my friend ordered the green tea mochi and it did not taste right due to freezer burn. She told the waiter and asked if they could switch it to another flavor and said no. Which sucks. The service could be better. They are addamit about you can only share with others that are also doing ayce. The ambiance is nice. Overall it's just okay here. read more

Wow! For sushi in the suburbs, this place knocks it out of the park! We had some pretty low expectations for sushi in the suburbs, but this place delivered on both price (reasonable) and quality (fresh!) We ordered dinner for our family a couple weeks ago and tried a smattering of their sashimi (namely scallops and salmon) and a bunch of different rolls. The person on the phone was polite and professional, and the food came out promptly. I thought it was all very well-plated and for the money, we were wowed. The standout here was the scallops - they were twice as big as the ones from Lawrence Fish Market - and just as fresh. And the rolls were pretty tasty as well. If I had to present one small gripe, it's that we didn't get all that much wasabi. We are big wasabi eaters and they probably gave us a good amount, but again we are big wasabi eaters. Finally, we love that they throw in some free appetizers if you order $25, $50, $75 etc. what a nice surprise! All of the apps were quite good. We will be back very soon! read more

This was my first experience having "all you can eat" sushi, and I don't think I can look back. The menu here is extensive, and you don't lose options if you go all you can eat. I can confidently say this is about the best sushi I've had in the burbs, I'm glad I won't have to make the trip downtown anymore! If you bring an appetite it's well worth the $30 a person price tag. read more

This is an AYCE PLACE where they give waaay too much rice for the fish and ask that you eat everything including all the rice. Fish was frozen granted we walked in 15 minutes after opening.. but it was disappointing for some reason every time we come here the fish is not as fresh as I am used to from sushi TAKU in the city. The calamari had rancid oil smell and bad taste, stay away from anything fried since they don't change their oil. It was right after opening the oil they fry in should have been fresh. And on top of all of this they had the audacity to charge $5.99 for leftover sushi rice which was not that much but waiter said way too much rice... You get what you pay for Mediocre place at best I go for convenience but never truly enjoyed their sushi to write a more generous review read more

Pretty good for what you pay! We did not opt for the all-you-can eat but we did order a ton of food for a table of 6. We ordered crab rangoon, soft shell crab, shrimp tempura, nigiri, sashimi, a couple of rolls, and friend rice. I would say the salmon was really good and everything else was decent - tuna, hamachi, etc. The only thing that I don't recommend is the soft shell crab - which was fried and so incredibly crunchy you could chip your tooth on it. My last comment is regarding the service - which was not great but don't blame the servers - the place was full and there were only 3 of them running around trying to keep up on a Saturday night. It took a long time to get our order in, a long time to get our server to check on us, and one of our orders took so long we were pretty much done eating by the time it came out. read more

if you want some quick sushi for late night cravings, this is probably the restaurant for you coming to this location. The parking lot was very full so getting parking was difficult. Coming inside you can already tell that this place is a very quick fast paced. You know, sit down and eat in hurry up and leave type of vibe we were greeted as soon as we walked in and walked to our table. The service was a little long just because it looked like they were short staffed, but I don't think they have a lot of employees working here but we got our food in a reasonable time. We got two choices of roles and our bill came out to around $24 for just two rolls but this restaurant was definitely made if you're just looking for some quick sushi and you don't have much time to eat. read more

Hands down one of the best all you can eat sushi places I've been to in IL! I love how fresh the food is, and everything is made to order. The sushi portions itself are decent. However, if you ordered seaweed salad, it's enough for like 2 bites. I came here with my friend for dinner, and it was not bad for $30/person. You can pick appetizers, soup, salad, fried rice, nigiri, signature rolls, regular rolls, vegetable roll, sashimi, dessert etc. Anything you can imagine they have. They also have a la carte options. We were able to eat more because we both shared a couple of rolls, and we also ordered other items. They have pens at each table and booth, and they bring you a sheet of paper to fill out if you opt for all you can eat. The a la carte menu gives you pictures and descriptions which I appreciate. They also have a drink menu. The spicy 2 in 1 signature roll is definitely the highlight of the night. There's also plenty of free parking that's shared with the strip mall. I'd recommend it to anyone in the area looking for sushi. read more

All you can eat sushi at a reasonable price? Sign me up! Even better the rolls are creative and superb. The appetizers are just ok so I'd skip those and focus on the sushi. Know that the staff will be amused when your eyes are bigger than your stomach and there is a charge to take things home when you realize you're in above your head. Shockingly, it also makes for a great leftover the next day (or later than night when you have a bit more room). Make sure you stop at Sweet General after for a little dessert to take home. read more

They have some delicious combos and builds however if you're doing sushi you've got to, got to GOT TO use sushi rice. Not the same rice that goes in a fried rice. The texture was off and the roll too loose and was falling apart. It's unfortunate because as I said the recipes are good otherwise. The fried rice was really good. I also appreciate that they label the boxes so you can easily locate your rolls in the mad grab when the take out arrives. Start rollin' with sushi rice! read more

The server was nice food was good !! But owner Rude and mean ! I walked up to her and told her I forgot to order the sashimi with the rule, I went to immediately when the plate came to the table and told her that and she did not want to give it to us. She said he had to be on the same paper and I told her I understood that I made a little mistake. I thought I had put it on there. It was two seconds after we ordered it and she was really really rude about it and then without telling us, they were gonna take a lunch break. She just turned the lights off on us. Prices are higher and getting higher for the little food you get she is not a good owner. read more

If you have been to Sushi Taku in Chicago then Sushi Nova is pretty similar to Sushi Taku. Great AYCE sushi spot in the burbs to eat your heart out. The menu are pretty similar with one another but I think I would recommend Sushi Taku over Sushi Nova because of the freshness of the sushi. Last time i came, my stomach was not so happy with me so ever since then I do not come to sushi nova no more. If you like sushi, I would give this spot a try. read more

We enjoy the food and the service here. We really enjoy the AYCE menu. The store is clean but seating can be limited. No issue parking either. We definitely will be back. read more

Pretty great spot for AYCE sushi. Quality of fish is good. Price point is reasonable at $20 for lunch buffet and $27 for dinner buffet. Place is kid friendly as they do have a good amount of high chairs. Plenty of free parking in the small plaza. Only complaint would be that when it gets busy you can be waiting for quite a bit for your order to get made. And there's a limit of sashimi you can order per rolls ordered. Other than that, only recommendation is to get there early and beat the peak lunch/dinner rush hours. Will definitely be back for more. 'Til next time, cheers! read more

Hi everyone! Let me rant about this small yet fully loaded eatery in Westmont. It is located in a small strip mall next to a deli , and let me tell you I was amazed on how fresh the nigiri was and how the maki rolls make you want to order more and more. They have an ala carte menu but I prefer their AYCE lunch or dinner menu. Some of the rolls I have not seen at other establishments and I can see why. The dishes are delicious, flavorful, and not too overwhelming. The ambiance is a chill vibe with music of all kinds and relaxing atmosphere, and they serve sake , ( though I haven't tried any ). In the end it's an experience you want to try the price is well enough for the meal and you'll get a great feeling of fullness from it. Another thing try the appetizers , they make all the difference. Till next time !! read more

The sushi here was pretty good! My boyfriend and I came in here for the all you can eat sushi and we loved everything on the menu.

Great place dine in and pick up. High quality great prices. 85 characters are too many to leave a simple review.

The selection of appetizers is amazing. Fried oysters were 5/5 delicious. Sashimi salad alone was worth the all-you-can-eat entrance fee. Service was quick and very friendly. We had a booth and it was cozy and comfortable. Remember there's dessert. I would recommend getting the rolls instead of nigiri unless you love rice. A lot of it. They definitely pack each nigiri with a bulging clump of rice. Speaking of rice, I didn't taste any mirin and the texture was not sushi-rice. But if you're not picky about that, it's a good deal and fun meal. read more
