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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Angry Dragon Roll , Godzilla Roll , Miso Soup , salmon Sashimi , crab tempura app

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.

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!

Nick R.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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,

Victoria B.

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.

Overall decent bang for the buck if you just need to get that no frills/"fusion"/hot pot, but straight up Chinese, Japanese, pan-Asian fix on. End note: I feel some of the highly critical reviews here are overly so given that this place does not pretend to be anything than what it is, and has managed to stay in business, in a very tough environment, for a very long time with very reasonable prices.

With disappointment, I write a review that is for the first time less than stellar. Our family and friends have been guests of Pappadeaux for many years. And for the past several years, it has become her restaurant of choice to celebrate her birthday each year. She loves Pappadeaux. It is only because of her love for Pappadeaux that we continue to arrange dinner for our group that averages between 20-25, simply because Pappadeaux is not group friendly; does not extend itself to make efforts to accommodate. Let me qualify the review by saying I am very aware of Pappadeaux's policy to reserve space for a maximum of 10 in one party, though they do accept reservations for more without guaranteeing the private dining room but would endeavor to accommodate. What we are told each year and clearly understand is the use of the private room requires its own staff and logistical advance planning, which is why I make the reservation well in advance. Though they can't guarantee the room, they make a note of our request and advise us to check with the manager on duty, who would make the decision. On September 5th, we were told by the manager (Julio) that the private room was not available because they didn't have any staff that could cover that area. He said he would have to pull staff from other areas to accommodate us. And in order to assure us a good dining experience, he would seat us together with the public to guarantee us a better dining experience. Being a business owner, I clearly understood and graciously accepted the area he suggested which indeed could accommodate us all. UNTIL, I walked by the private dining room by coincidence soon thereafter and noticed a group of 10 that was not only seated in the private room but was being SERVED by a SERVER, who Julio (the manager on duty) told me minutes before was not available. On my way walking by the room sometime later (it was nearby), I noticed a different group of 10 was seated and being served in the private room that was not available to us. I do realize our group was larger (21) but however they assigned to serve the two groups of 10 (total 20) could have accommodated us. We waited hours for food anyway. Thus, my complaint is not that the room was not available; it appears that we were lied to, as the room in fact was available and STAFFED. Julio's reasoning for accommodating us in the public dining area was to ensure we'd have a wonderful dining experience. Well, that didn't work out so well either. We received less than quality service. The food was exceptional as always. We were assigned four tables and three servers. Patrick and Chey were phenomenal servers. However, 3 guests at the table to whom the third server was assigned, had not received their meal after two hours, while others at their table had eaten. I know the timing because I know what time we were seated and looked at my watch after noticing the guests still without food at 6:08pm. When I asked one of the guests what they ordered, it was simply gumbo and a salad. No one was preparing their food; there was little to prepare! They were forgotten! I asked another server for assistance, who went to the kitchen, got approval to serve us and immediately assisted until the entire group was finally served. But they unfortunately opted to take their food home by that time. The assigned server did not return until near check time. I could have lived with all of it, except BEING LIED TO. The private room was always available, was STAFFable and STAFFED. Whoever the space was given to came in after us. Though my mother loves Pappadeaux, coupled with the fact that we spent nearly $2k Saturday and each year before at this event, not including what we spend in visits during the year, we would need to be TREATED AS WELL AS THE OTHER GUESTS to return. We must not be made to feel UNWELCOME, UNDERAPPRECIATED and UNDERVALUED at any time. Otherwise, it would become necessary for us to explore other restaurant options that are more customer friendly to groups and would appreciate our business. Again, I don't mind the policy, but why not staff the room in advance when a reservation is made 1-2 weeks in advance, rather than having to check and see who is available or willing to stay in the moment, especially when you know we are coming! I believe that is a policy that needs to be revisited. I would hope that Pappadeaux's values our business enough to respond and contact us. Looking forward to hearing from you. Pastor Olivia Johnson

We ordered quite a bit, and all of it was ready in 20 minutes! They also asked about peanut allergies, which we do not have but thought was considerate, given that this is not something often asked about in Asian settings. Food: As most people have said, the food is great. My one demerit would be that the ma po tofu I ordered was SUPER SPICY, at least for me. But I'm someone who typically enjoys spice! My husband said his beef was also super spicy, so just be careful. I ended up having to take the heat down a bit, but everything was still delicious. Price: Overall fair, given the times. It feels pricey at first, but I think this is just the way things are now. Plus, the dumplings taste made from scratch, and any meal you order here can be at least 2 meals, maybe 3 as it was for me. Location: We don't live near the area, but we do stop at Katy's most times we are in the neighborhood. The parking lot is a bit small as is the actual place itself, so you might have to wait a bit if you're gonna eat in, but it feels cozy and cute. If it's busy, don't dawdle. Get in and get out. Maybe resume the socializing at the cute little coffeeshop at the corner of the strip mall. Ultimately, def try Katy's. And def get dumplings. Just mind the spice sin some foods, possibly price, parking lot, and potential wait time if dining in.
