    Signature platter
    Sarah H.

    Sushi Nova was a great place to stop for lunch after exploring Lincoln Park. We got the colored dragon roll and fire phoenix roll with salmon nigiri. It was so tasty and such a great deal as a signature platter combo. The seating area is chill and a nice place to relax after being in the sun. Our server Edward was also so kind and brought us a free chocolate mochi. Would definitely do the all you can eat next time if we weren't just visiting!

    I am a true fan of franchise sushi spots especially when there is praise to found. This is one of the few times that I didn't enjoy my meal or my experience. The service was terrible and it was a slow night . There were a lot of tables empty and yet it took over 10-15 mins to even get a water refill. The hygiene in this place was deplorable. Sushi roll pieces on the floor , kicked around. Tables and chairs with sticky residue on them. My sushi didn't taste fresh nor did I get to a 3rd round of ordering. Overall it deterred me from wanting to try this spot again.

    Tucked away between where Clark and Lincoln meet in the heart of Lincoln Park is Sushi nova. A very nice all you can eat sushi joint with decent service and a reasonably priced all you can eat sushi menu. The dining area is very well lit and there is always a good playlist playing. The 2-in-1 spicy roll is the best roll I have ever had in my life. Everything here is fresh. The only thing that could be improved a bit is the service and the space between tables so that you don't have to listen to conversations less than 3 feet away from you.

    This place is so nice and service is good, don't sit by the window if the sun is out lol because it got really hot and warm when we were there. We waited a little bit before getting seated but the food came out like 10-15 minutes late as it was busy on a Sunday afternoon. I really had to get up and ask the server to give us soy sauce and ginger because our server didn't come to the table even when I tried to wave at him. while other tables had soy sauce and ginger given beforehand. The sushi was good and the appetizer was really good. They also had new things on the menu as well. The handroll had too much spicy salmon in it but was okay. The miso soup was good but a little bland.

    Sushi Nova has a very extensive AYCE menu! They have a lovely little patio next to a park and it is BYOB. We brought a bottle of wine with us and our entire group ordered the all you can eat option. We shared the crab rangoons, miso soup, carpaccio, and tuna tartar to start and then we shared some of the specialty rolls. The service was fast and friendly. Make sure you save room for dessert, the mochi and tempura banana was delicious!

    Wow! This is the freshest, fastest, all you can eat sushi I have ever been to in my life. The service is great and all the sushi we had was phenomenal and fresh. The place is right across from the zoo so it's a great place to eat after your big adventure. They got sushi boats too! I didn't order enough sushi for that but maybe next time.

    This is my favorite spot for all-you-can-eat sushi! Everything was super fresh, and the service was really on point. I'm not sure if it's a newer place--there's no wait like most AYCE sushi spots, which was a nice surprise. One thing I loved is that when you order a roll, they include a little bit of sashimi on the side. Such a great bonus! I'll definitely be back.

    Great dinner at Sushi Nova. It was a Thursday night and there was plenty of room for two to dine. Had the edamame and shared two rolls. Good casual spot for a date night. Quick service and friendly staff.

    Tried out sushi nova for the first time and it was delicious! Can't wait to be back. My favorites were veggie Godzilla roll, fire dragon roll, sweet potato and shiitake mushroom one! The service is amazing and it's a huge location -- definitely great for a date night or hangout with friends.

    Sushi Nova was fantastic! My boyfriend and I tried the sushi buffet, but the fried rolls were so large that one round was more than enough. My parents ordered raw rolls à la carte, which were smaller. Maybe buffet rolls are intentionally bigger to fill you up faster? Or the fried rolls are bigger? Either way, everything was fresh and delicious. The service was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. I'll definitely be back. Next time, I'll skip the buffet and order à la carte!

    Great service here. Had to move from outside to inside due to a bee circling us but they were very accommodating. I thought there could be more variety in the rolls but generally really fresh fish. My only complaints is that the spicy salmon is 50% panko with grinded up salmon that you can't really taste. That was a bummer

    Cherry Blossom Roll
    Brooke J.

    It was okay. My girlfriend liked the shrimp udon (apart from taking off the shrimp tails). The miso soup was bad. Watery, and no flavor. The sushi we ordered was okay. I didn't like the cherry blossom roll because it had imitation crab on top, which was an oversight on my end.

    Sunny Roll, Fire Phoenix Roll, Ikura/Salmon Roe Nigiri, Eel/Unagi Hand Roll
    Mark T.

    There is an issue I have with some breweries, that being their beer menus are greater than 50% IPA's, when I am averse to IPA's. Substitute IPA with crab (i.e. the imitation sticks), crunch, and/or some kind of tempura, and we arrive at the same problem. In fact, I made a spreadsheet (you can tell I'm a "man in finance," can't you?) Their AYCE Dinner menu has 24 "signature" rolls. Of these: nine have crab, ten have tempura-something or crunch (effectively, bread), one is fried, and one is rolled with soybean paper instead of nori. That leaves a grand total of three rolls from their menu of 24 signature items I would be open to ordering. Not only am I generally not a fan of these ingredients, but I feel as though they cheapen the roll. As if they are added only to add heft, i.e. they are added to make the roll appear bigger. The two I ordered, the Sunny Roll and Fire Phoenix Roll did have crab (oops - didn't realize how many contain 'crab' sticks. While the fire phoenix was decent (thanks at least in part to the torched salmon), the sunny roll was a massive miss. The crab on top made the whole thing feel like something you'd get at a cheap buffet. Neither of these rolls seemed high quality. Not gas station level, but also not something I would order again. Where I do want to give some points is the nigiri. The salmon nigiri specially allowed the fish to shine, and only here one could tell it was high quality. Similar with the Ikura nigiri and the eel handroll - perhaps not S-tier, but very respectable. Where it comes to the service, I thought it was friendly, and appropriately fast and attentive. The vibe is modern with lovely and not overdone gold tones. I wanted to give them a huge amount of credit for value, for $32 for AYCE sushi in Chicago is a killer deal on the surface. However, the quality and selection were such that I cannot see myself returning.

    Exceptional Experience at Harvest 365 Restaurant & Fresh Grill - Forest Park, IL…read more Harvest 365 Restaurant & Fresh Grill 7610 Roosevelt Rd, Suite 120 Forest Park, IL 60130 On Sunday, July 19, our party of 13 had the pleasure of dining at Harvest 365 Restaurant & Fresh Grill, and it was truly an outstanding experience from beginning to end. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff welcomed us with genuine warmth and professionalism. Even with such a large group, everyone worked together seamlessly to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. The restaurant was clean, beautifully maintained, and the atmosphere was perfect for a family gathering. A very special thank you goes to Sebastian, our server. He was absolutely phenomenal! Sebastian was attentive, friendly, patient, and incredibly efficient throughout our visit. He consistently checked on our table, made sure everyone's drinks were full, cleared plates promptly, and ensured every member of our party had an exceptional dining experience. His outstanding customer service truly made our visit unforgettable. The food was excellent--fresh, delicious, and there was an amazing variety for everyone to enjoy. From the fresh grill and seafood to the comfort foods, salad bar, and incredible desserts, every item was flavorful and well prepared. Managing a party of 13 is no small task, but Sebastian and the entire Harvest 365 team exceeded every expectation with their hospitality and attention to detail. If you're looking for an amazing buffet with outstanding food and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Harvest 365 Restaurant & Fresh Grill in Forest Park.

    My sister and I decided to treat my brother in law here for his birthday. He found out that a…read morePolish buffet existed around here so he had to go! We went before the dinner rush on a Saturday. There's a small parking lot in the back but that was full so we parked on the street. We were immediately seated and drink orders were taken as well as soup (which is included). Drinks are added separately and not inclusive of the $34 per person. I had the borscht and that was tasty and comforting. My brother in law didn't waste any time and he immediately got his first plate going. My sister and I took our time to enjoy the soup. I then started with the appetizers and tried the different salads. It was cool to see they had aspic since that's not something you see often either. When I eventually made my way to the warm food, I was overwhelmed by all the choices. I tried to take one of everything but even then it was too much so I didn't get to try it all. The meats that I did try were super tender and juicy. They definitely know what they're doing with the meats! The dessert area had so many different options. There was cake, flan and cheesecakes. So many to choose from! I think I just love Polish food in general because of the comfort food aspect. The proteins are usually simmered in gravy and you get to pair it with potatoes cooked in all sort of ways! My sister was adventurous and just started putting random stuff on her plate that I've never seen before. She found the meat spread and that was surprisingly good too. If you're ever in the area, try to go before the dinner rush. It's a great space and is deserving of the title "Largest Polish buffet in Chicagoland".

Thankfully, that wasn't the case--I enjoyed the meal overall, even if it wasn't a "wow, this is the best meal ever" experience. The biggest surprise for me was the dried chili chicken. I almost didn't order it because so many reviews said it was overly salty and spicy. We asked for less salt, and they were happy to accommodate. I actually thought the spice level was very manageable, and it ended up being one of my favorite dishes. The orange chicken was another pleasant surprise. I expected it to be a basic, Americanized option, but it was delicious and ended up being one of my favorites of the meal. My friends really enjoyed the dan dan noodles, which seem to be one of their signature dishes. Personally, I thought they were good but not particularly memorable compared to everything else. The mango shrimp was tasty as well, but it wasn't something I'd consider a must-order on a return visit. Service was great. The waiter was friendly, accommodated our request for less salt, and we were seated immediately. We arrived about 10 minutes before opening on a weekday to line up, and that seemed to work well. overall a great experience!
