Been meaning to try Nova Cafe since they opened and finally got around to it yesterday for dinner. The space itself is very inviting. I like the modern decor and vibe of the place and I like the look and feel of their menus. I visited with my husband and our son. None of us were sure what to order so the server offered some suggestions. We decided to all try something different so that we could sample various plates. I ordered beef fried rice, my husband ordered beef lo mein, and my son ordered General Tso chicken. Everything was fresh and delicious. Each portion was large enough that we all ate until we were satisfied and had plenty leftover to enjoy next day. Food, ambiance, and service were all great. We all enjoyed it and will be back for more soon. read more

We took my dad to Nova Café for Father's Day lunch because he was craving some Thai food and we wanted to try a new place. It is clean and since they just opened, it may feel a bit spartan with so much empty floor space, but the decor is simple and somewhat trendy. It was nice and quiet, with music at a low level and a TV that was showing picturesque scenery. The location is ideal and has plenty of parking available. Waze (the navigation app), actually has them located in another, smaller strip adjacent to the actual location. It's not difficult to figure out though, because they're literally within eyeshot of the place. It's currently they're "Grand Opening", but the service was great. They were very attentive and checked on us the correct amount of times. They gave us time to check the menu, got our drink orders quickly, and when I ordered appetizers prior to ordering our meals, they got on those very fast too! When the waitress came to ask if we had any questions, I said: "Is your lunch menu all-week or is there a limitation like no Sundays?" and she let me know it's an every day thing! Yay! We don't see that very often. Lunch hours are basically from open till 3PM and the lunch prices are between $11-14. Our order: Dad got Masaman Curry with chicken and fried rice. He was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any brown rice, but he finished that whole plate. He said it was good though. My sister got the Thai Basil Plate with Chicken and fried rice and she really enjoyed it. My stepmom ordered the Thai Basil Plate with Beef and steamed rice. She really enjoyed hers too. I had the Panang Chicken Curry with both steamed rice and fried rice. I wanted to check the flavor with each...and I was hungry. We also ordered some steamed Chicken Dumplings and some Fried Shrimp Shumai. Originally, I ordered them to be friend dumplings and steamed animal, but the waitress told me that the shumai (in her opinion) was better fried, so I switched them. Later, she brought out 4 extra fried dumplings. I prefer my dumplings and shuns I fried! She was right- better mouthfeel and more depth of flavor. I would've maybe preferred a ponzu sauce or plain soy sauce rather than their sweet dipping sauce, but it was good too. All of the dishes were served with some cabbage and shredded carrots that had a fake flower on top. I've seen plenty of places serve flowers with their dishes, but never faux flowers. I think they should drop those because they look OK, but they really don't need them. My stepmom also ordered some green tea, which they brought in a somewhat fancy (new age-y) teapot. I also ordered some of the Tom Yum Soup ("for 2"), a Beef Lo Mein, and a Thai Basil Plate with Chicken and fried rice to go. I tried each one after arriving home and found that the Beef Lo Mein and Thai Basil Plate were both lacking flavor for my liking. The tenderness of the chicken and beef was consistent in all the dishes, so that was a plus. The veggies were all cooked correctly and were still crispy-fresh. The noodles in the Beef Lo Mein were appropriately greasy too. The Tom Yum Soup was not very spicy, had 3 shrimp and 3 scallops, about 4 white mushrooms cut into 4ths, some red bell peppers and some onions. The soup was lackluster, not hitting the sour or spicy notes I'm familiar with for the dish, but the seafood within was tasty. Overall, I have to give this place 4 stars because the Chinese food just didn't quite hit the way it should to be awesome. The service was fantastic and the Thai food hit properly- not too spicy, not to weak, but had great flavor. I love that they offer the shumai and dumplings steamed OR fried and I'm definitely going with fried from now on. I think this place has room to grow, but they're off to a great start and they have beer and wine to make things even better. They've got their stuff together, so give them a shot! read more

Experienced Nova Cafe in Roswell for lunch today. I had the Kung Pao Plate while my friend enjoyed the Mongolian Plate. We both enjoyed our lunch and felt very fresh and tasty. The service took care of us without being overbearing. The ambience was sort of typical but everything very clean including the ladies room. read more

Nova Cafe is a must for great, fresh Asian cuisine in a very clean environment. The staff is always very friendly and the prices are very reasonable. We went to Nova for lunch today and were blown away yet again. We didn't take any pictures of the food, but both dishes were beautifully presented. I strongly recommend you giving Nova a chance - you won't be disappointed! read more

We called for a reservation and showed up on time. The "waitress " said your table is all set and pointed to our table...no let me show you there... just pointed. We waited for a while to place our order and miss personality showed up with an attitude. The place was quiet and the food good but the server needs to adjust her attitude. read more

They spent some money on this place. It is very nice. There a few touches they have added that balances some upscale touches with casualness. The menu is great with lots of options covering several different Asian cuisine types. They have a good lunch menu as well. I ended up getting the beef lo mein. It was excellent and the presentation of the dish was beautiful. The noodles were perfectly cooked. The beef was as well. The sauce coated it perfectly and had the traditional wak hai sear to it. The portion was perfect for lunch. I came in hungry and left satisfied but not overstuffed. The prices were reasonable too. The two people working there were incredibly nice. I will definitely be returning. read more

Nova Cafe - Lunch beef lo mein - Thai Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

Best Chinese takeout in Roswell! I can't speak for the other cuisines they serve but we love the Chinese food from nova cafe. Our first experience was on Christmas Day last year, we picked up at the restaurant and brought home. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, everything was packaged perfectly. We have had several other times since then and the service, quality and deliciousness has stayed consistent! Highly recommend! read more

Service very efficient and fast. Thai dish and Chinese dish delicious. Seafood was wonderful! Great Thai sauce.

The food is really poor. 4 entrees and all of them mediocre and disappointing. I do not recommend this restaurant.

So for starters we got the Hot and Sour soup. Very good except for the tomatoes. No place else has tomatoes in the soup. We got the Panang Curry w Tofu. While the tase was very good, there were no veggies except onion and bell pepper. Should have green beans. The knife cuts on the vegetables were too chunky. Also, the rice came in miniature bowl for a 3 yr old. They could increase the portion a little. I will say the food was piping hot which I love! While good, not sure I would go back as it's a long drive. The server was very nice. read more

Great food, service , large portions and good prices !!! Restaurant is very clean and managed well !

This place is a total gem. It completely exceeded our expectations. We ate inside, great atmosphere, and the food was on par with restaurants twice the price. Everything was fresh, high‑quality, and perfectly balanced. I had the signature Black Pepper Steak, tender meat, crisp veggies, and beautiful presentation. My husband got the Garden Stir Fry and was just as impressed. We're so happy to have this spot in Roswell. It's definitely going on our regular rotation. Wishing them lots of success! read more

Stopped in for lunch and was NOT disappointed. We started with fried shrimp shumai. It was flavorful ,hot and crisp. The lunch entrees we chose were the beef hibachi and pad Thai with tofu. It was beautiful and delicious. The service was outstanding. We will be back! read more

We just had our first experience at Nova Cafe and it a home run! We had the Thai curry chicken and shrimp soup and spring rolls. I stepped out of my comfort zone with the soup and loved it. Everything is hot and fresh. Loved the atmosphere and our server Alex was delightful! Highly recommend a visit. read more

This restaurant is where the old Epicures of Asia was for many years. But, good luck finding it online. I'm not sure about the name selection, as it doesn't tell you anything about what they serve. I came in recently to check it out and got a To-Go order of a couple of basic staple dishes and egg roles. While waiting, I chatted up the proprietor, who was very friendly and admitted they were experiencing challenges getting listed on Google. Our food came out quickly and once home, found the portions were quite large. Certainly, my wife and I had enough for another meal, once we steam more rice. The veggies seemed fresh and plentiful and the protein, tasty. The only knock I have is that it could use some spice, but we love spicy food and likely, had we asked, they could have kicked it up a notch. All in all, though, I'd definitely return. read more

Love the food. Very fresh and delicious. Menu is limited and hope they add more items.

Nova Cafe has exceptional service, delicious food, and a calming atmosphere. We high recommend you check out their wide variety of Chinese, Thai, and Hibachi food! read more

Ate at Nova Chinese Thai Hibachi for first time and really liked it!! We ordered hot and sour soup ( best I have eaten), tofu and vegetable hibachi and shrimp pad Thai. I normally don't eat tofu but this was cooked so well. Crispy on outside and creamy on inside. The pad Thai had a very generous portion of noodles. Service was excellent! Never had to ask as they anticipated my needs! Ambiance was nice. It was quiet and could easily have a conversation. I have a difficult time filtering out background noise so it was nice. read more

This place has only been open 2 months, but they seem to have all the kinks worked out. The food was very fresh and hot. The portions were large, I took some home. I had kung pow with shrimp. It was excellent and very reasonably priced. My party also ordered an item from the hibachi which was also very good. The pad Thai was also given rave reviews from a very very picky eater. Over all. I recommend Nova cafe unequivocally. Great food. Good service and reasonably priced ! read more

Nova cafe has become one of our favorite Chinese restaurants in the area. We have tried in service and to go and both were great experience. They do a great job with To Go to make sure your food doesn't get cold on the drive home. My wife loves the Kung Pao chicken and the Singapore rice noodles here are the best in the area. Great setup inside the restaurant. I hope that Nova Cafe is successful for many many years. read more

Curry and Hibachi were excellent. Friendly staff. Service was fast. We will be back again soon.

Had dinner here for the first time last night. My wife wasn't all that hungry, so she just ordered an egg drop soup and an order of steamed chicken dumplings which were delicious. I was then given a sample of their hot & sour soup, presumably by the owner, who said that the soup is made daily with fresh ingredients. And from someone who's had hot and sour from all over the U.S. including Chinatowns in NYC and San Francisco, this indeed was the best. But yet the best was yet to come.......Pad Thai Seafood. For starters, the portion was too large for me to finish and I actually had plenty to take home (a first for me). The seafood (shrimp, bay scallops and lobster) was plentiful and more than delicious. Krista, our server was excellent. She made this culinary experience quite pleasurable. Actually, on our way out, I let Krista and the owner know how pleased we were. We'll be returning soon and can't wait! read more
