The atmosphere is relaxed, and everything came out quickly, which I appreciated. That said, the sushi itself was just okay. It was fresh and nicely presented, but nothing really stood out or felt special compared to other sushi places in the area. The rolls were decent, just not super memorable flavor-wise. Overall, it's a good place for a casual meal or quick sushi fix, but probably not where I'd go for a top-tier sushi experience.

Was recently visiting friends in Annapolis and they suggested making the short 15 min drive across…read morethe Thomas Johnson Bridge (or what the locals refer to as the Solomons Bridge) into nearby Edgewater to have dinner at Nova. I usually approach suburban sushi joints with a bit of trepidation, but tbh, I had an excellent experience here. Located in a cookie-cutter strip mall, the place was PACKED on a Friday night. The interior could also be described as "any Asian restaurant in America" with tile flooring, dark hardwood furniture, a large sushi bar, and generic art pieces on the wall. We started with an appetizer of Edamame and small bottles of hot sake. The soybeans were steamed in their pods and lightly salted and had that addictive quality which paired well with the slightly sweet and acidic flavor profile of sake. Sushi plate arrived about 10 minutes later, and again for suburb sushi, I was pleasantly surprised. Standouts included: * spider roll - Deep fried soft shell crab is a standard bearer and is a reflection of the sushi chefs skills. Crab had a light batter and wasn't overly oily. * Spicy scallop - Anytime a place advertises a dish as being spicy, my default is it will be "American level spicy." The scallops tasted fresh and didn't have any slimy texture (unlike at some places). Cucumber and tempura bits added a nice crunch; spicy mayo was more sweet than adding any heat. * Wicked Tuna Roll - Actually, quite good. Inside the roll contained spicy tuna, cukes, onions; which was then topped with cuts of tuna and a jalpeno "salsa." All of the contrasting flavors complemented each other. Service was as expected. Wait staff arrived within 3 minutes of initial seating, kept water glasses filled, and frequently stopped by to check on us. If you're out in Edgewater or the Annapolis area and are seeking good sushi, bookmark Nova.

I had a stellar experience at Otani!…read more The restaurant itself itself is very cozy. The decor is very simple; A few paintings on the wall and a view to watch the sushi chefs at the bar. I ordered the beef tataki, the sashimi platter, and the tako yaki: - The beef tataki was served chilled; The beef was slightly smokey and the sauce was bright, giving the dish a kind of refreshing feeling. - The fish in the sashimi platter was very fresh and the display was beautiful. The sashimi came with miso soup (as good as any other miso soup). - I loved the takoyaki! I tend to think takoyaki tastes about the same everywhere, but this may genuinely have been my favorite takoyaki I've tried in the area; I had to resist ordering a second plate of it. As a solo diner, I spent $58 (excluding tip) for what I perceive to be a lot of food. For a fancy solo outing, I think it was great value for the quality of food. The staff was also very attentive and my food came out promptly. This is a great solo dining or date spot.

I say romantic because of the dimmed lighting.. but that was also what relaxed me ha. Check out the video for how they present the "Play Boy" roll. We also had the eel salmon cake which was unique and I forgot to take photos I'm sorry. Loved the seaweed salad as it wasn't overly sweet. The spicy dip that came with calamari was not spicy (not complaining just sharing). Someone ordered noodles with chicken and they're picky and they tore it up like it was their last meal. I want to try the rainbow tartar next time as it's tuna, salmon, and crab salad.

Service was good, and the restaurant had a comfortable, lively feel. It worked well as both a dinner spot and a place to stay for a few drinks. I'd definitely consider going back.

We wanted food to take out to eat at our hotel. On the phone, they confirmed they do takeout, but…read morethey fumbled a bunch of steps, as if maybe they don't do this very often. When I got there to pick the order up, I could tell one reason why--the music is very loud, and I suspect the person who took my order couldn't hear me very well. Our overwhelming impression of the food was that the servings were very small--the rolls were small and cut thin, and the sashimi was almost transparent. The sashimi tasted fine, but it wasn't good value. One thing we were looking forward to was the California roll made with real crabmeat. Sadly, it tasted--and smelled--slightly nasty. When we're back in Annapolis next month, we won't be ordering from them.

Let me put this out here now. The 2 stars is for FOOD and id give 4 stars for CUSTOMER SERVICE if I could. Based on photos on reviews people praised the sushi rolls etc but my group wanted a variety of everything because well we dined with kids. Their menu consists of sushi, Thai food, Chinese food etc ... we ordered a plethora of food . shrimp tempura, chicken and vegetable tempura, kids steak.. sizzling beef w rice... sushi entree.. miso soups and tom yum soup and pad Thai. THE FOOD WAS NOT GOOD! we've dined at many sushi restaurants, Thai food places ,Chinese restaurants.. we KNOW what things should taste like and this was NOT it at all. The sizzling rice beef only good thing about it was the presentation. The sizzle and smoke show when it arrived. This dish was made with such a generic bland sauce with wierd textured beef. It was EDIBLE.. But thats all I can say. Pad thai.. my my my .. This was the most soupy orange colored looking dish with over cooked noodles. Tasted NOTHING like pad thai.. please remove this off the menu. The shrimp tempura.. tell me why on your menu you described this as lightly battered shrimp etc etc like it was hand made and dipped by you in in tempura flakes? not only did this dish come out wayyyy too fast after ordering that we KNEW once we got the shrimp tempura that this place wasnt going to be good. The shrimp tempura was clearly frozen and the horrible coating that you usually get with frozen shrimp tempura from the store was thick and shrimp was skinny and inedible. idk if this was microwaved but i doubt they even fried it since it literally came out in 5 min after ordering. Costco shrimp tempura in the freezer section would of been way better than this. My kids barely touched this dish and they LOVE shrimp tempura so much. Please change the description on your menu. It makes it seem like you would be dipping and coating your own shrimp tempura when in fact this is frozen and coated in a thick bread batter not in a nice light tempura flakes batter.. the sushi! OMG.. The sushi Entree was horrible. The fish looked like play dough .. i felt bad for my husband .. the sushi was not fresh idk where they get their fish from but the sushi looked as if it was "Play sushi " the colors were off.. My husband said there was something off about the taste and we could see it. We've dined at many sushi restaurants from high end to $ sushi restaurants.. We've even had sushi in Korea,& Japan.. the texture, the look of the fish pieces this was inedible and not sushi. Would not recommend. Tom yum soup.. very orange.. very concentrated needed more water and the shrimp were diced in small pieces. Maybe used 2-3 shrimp and this cost $7. There was only a sour taste and no spice to it at all. Don't recommend if you know me I HATE wasting money on bad food. The reviews definitely tricked us into coming here. The only thing I felt like was a 7/10 was the sushi rolls which had spicy tuna , shrimp tempura, and all the sauces on top from eel sauce and spicy mayo. That was the only dish I felt like tasted fine. The Chinese, Thai and sushi dishes were not good and this place is crossed off my list of restaurants. It sucked knowing once we got our first dish I just knew the dishes coming after the shrimp weren't going to be good and my entire group agreed.. so disappointing. Almost $80 down the drain for my family and i. if you're going to have a variety of different cuisines on your menu please perfect them. Otherwise focus on ONE because non of the dishes tasted good. or authentic to how it should've tasted or been made!. 0 stars if I could. SMH . we left 1 hour before closing no other customers in the restaurant after we arrived around 830pm They were counting the registers by 9pm. They close at 1030pm. That should tell you something.. Came home to a bad stomach ache . I'd rather have that then food poisoning so .. took pepto bismol and called it a night

The bread probably was from supermarket and it wasn't chive butter but green onion. OG Caesar was basically wedge salad with heavy pesto oil, overall oily and salty. Lomi Lomi Salmon... Not good.
