    I travel to Orland Park several times a year. I have reviewed this place before. Food is always very fresh and good. Staff is friendly. Love their AYCE menus I always stop here, but at my last two visits I have concerns with the front desk. Number one, it is tacky to hand write a new policy and tape it to the counter. Not a welcoming site. Use a computer, print it, add a graphic, frame it and place it up front. Second concern is the girl serving as host. I always sit at the bar. Last visit she stood at the desk on her phone the entire time except when someone came in or was leaving. Either she is a relative of owner/ management or girlfriend. I would fire an employee for such behavior immediately. This most recent visit she came into work and sat at the bar and on her phone either listening to a reel or blog. Phone so loud it over powered the music on the restaurant's speakers. I finally asked her to put in her ear buds, for I didn't want listen. She said she did have any, but would shut it off. How does a manager allow such behavior from one employee? I pray she is not the manager. GM or owner needs to coach this employee into a field where customer service is not the focus.

    There were a number of problems when we first entered the restaurant. First off the young lady at the front walked up with an attitude. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day or what the deal was, but that's not how you greet customers. My wife doesn't eat much so she was only gonna get possibly one roll and I was gonna go for the all you can eat, but then we were told that they changed their policy and they do not allow people to sit down unless they're either all getting all you can eat or they're all ordering off the menu that seems so ridiculous to me but still we stayed and went to our table. The music was so loud we couldn't even hear ourselves think and there weren't many people there and it was not Asian type music. It was just top 40. I did ask that they turned the music down and they complied which was good. The final straw was the sushi that I wanted to order which was not that expensive mind you was not included on the lunch menu. They were more expensive sushi rolls that were included, but I didn't want those so we decided to leave. I'm not sure when their policy came in to play but they just lost a $50 sale and we won't return.

    Very bad experience at Sushi Nova. They brought sushi first and forgot the soup and salad until we asked. The miso soup tasted watered down, but the worst part was the salad--I found TWO pieces human fingernail in it. Absolutely disgusting completely unacceptable. Staff took the plate right away from my hand when I show it to him I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it. He called another lady who works also there but didn't handle it seriously. They first offered only 10% off, then after waiting about 30 minutes, increased it to 20%. I couldn't continue eating after that. Felt like vomiting after what happened so nasty and disgusting. Completely unacceptable hygiene. I won't be coming back.

    We went with a Spider Roll, the Sapporo Roll, a Dragon Roll, The Chicago Roll and a Rainbow Roll. All very good.

    If you're not interested in really putting away some sushi when you visit Sushi Nova in Orland Park, you probably want to stay away from their all-you-can-eat menu. However, if you're like me, and you visit with some big eaters, then their all-you-can-eat menu is well worth the value. It's not the cheapest, but they include a nice selection of specialty rolls on the AYCE menu that sell for $14-$15 dollars on their own. The inside is clean and very contemporary. Our service was excellent. The appetizers and rolls we ordered were all served promptly. They aren't doing anything groundbreaking here, but if you go in a for a late lunch, you pay the lunch pricing, and as long as you bring your appetite, you can't go wrong.

    This is great all you can eat sushi restaurant. The selection of specialty rolls, and house rolls is great and the serving size is very generous. They don't have a kids menu but have some a la cart items like fried rice that my daughter enjoys. There is a liquor menu. All you can eat includes small selection of mochi ice cream. Service was fast and very pleasant. The main dinning room is great but doesn't have much of light. The back room has this weird led light that makes everything too bright. Hoping this is just temporary and more inviting lights will be installed. Overall, great experience. We were celebrating my son's birthday the last time we're were here and the server came out with an ice cream desert and a candle.

    First time at this location.. the one in Westmont has pretty good food too (even tho their service at that location is 'sometimey') The food here was alright. We did the all you could eat & ordered from that menu all night. Calamari was too chewy for me. Miso soup was fine. Service was fine. We'd probably go back & get sweeter tasting sushi to try

    Awful experience here ! The manager is rude and they pick and choose who they want to serve in a timely manner the only thing that came to us in a timely manner was the water. One of the drinks that we had came to us after our food was served We had three small plates, no silverware no chopsticks no napkins We had to repeatedly call and look for our waiter or some server to bring us the sauces that go with the sushi, fresh menus, pens, to top everything off. They brought the sauce, the spicy mayo, and it had hair in it. All of this when you go to have dinner with your family is exhausting instead of enjoyment. We could not finish eating because of the long wait the baby had finished her food and wanted to run around. I don't even make comments but the behavior we endured here today was awful and rude

    Spicy Tuna Roll and Boston Roll

    Sushi was tasty. They have an all you can eat option for 29.99 per person, which is great. The place was packed with all sorts of guests, large parties, teenagers, couples and the sushi was flying out of the kitchen. We had the jalepeno bombs, which were okay. They felt very greasy and heavy fried for Japanese food compared to my previous experiences. The Spicy Tuna and Boston roll were tasty. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely worth the visit. We'll be back in the future.

    This is our go to for Sushi in Orland because it's always fresh and fantastic. Weekends can be a long wait but it's well worth it.

    Visited Mo's Chinese Kitchen on a Tuesday afternoon…read more We were seated right away but it took a while for our server to arrive at the table. He brought us waters, but then departed again. He came back and asked if we were ready to order and we told him we'd like to order a couple drinks. It took a while for the drinks. When he dropped ff the drinks he left again without taking our order. This seemed to be the way service was going to be and it was. Food was slow, forgot the soup I ordered. On a positive note we ordered hot & sour soup, an appetizer platter and the chicken dumplings. The sweet and sour soup arrived only after I mentioned I had ordered it and we had already started on our other food. The soup was spicy which I enjoyed, it was filled with vegetables and some pieces of chicken. The broth was a little thin for my taste but overall it was good. The appetizer platter included 2 battered shrimp which were a little overwhelmed by the heavy breading, 2 egg rolls that were decently filled with vegetables and a nice proportion of pork, 2 crab rangoons that were filled nicely and had a good taste, 2 pieces of breaded chicken that were not dry, 2 beef on a stick which were enjoyed and a portion of bbq pork which was tender and sauced nicely. The chicken dumplings came in an order of 8. They were tasty but there could have been more chicken. Our overall experience was slightly affected by the slow service and the fact that our server seemed distant and disengaged. We enjoyed our food an will return.

    The orders were quickly taken and served well I like the orange chicken and beef fried rice. Plenty…read moreof water was served which was cool just what I needed. Everything in the area clean and clear so have a good time.

We got the seafood tower for 2 and it come with 2 dips and bread and everything was Devine!!!! An absolute mouth heaven for seafood lovers. The top tier was fried calamari, lobster tail split in 2 and 2 giant shrimp with this spicy tomato dipping sauce. The bottom tier was a bed of delicious spicy yellow rice with 3 different kinds of fish, shrimp and mussels. Every single thing I put into my mouth was excellent!!! Our server Ferris (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) was absolutely amazing. Funny, knowledgeable, he explained everything that we were eating and telling us about the buffet that they offered. He was tentative and nice. The decor was sooooo beautiful and romantic as well. We sat on these super comfy round cushion chairs over these beautiful round lights and it was dim enough to feel a wonderful atmosphere and romantic but bright enough to see our food. The entire experience was wonderful and if I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. I will recommend this place to anyone who loves Mediterranean food or seafood and I will 1000% be back. This is my new favorite place!! Thank you for a great date night experience for hubby and I!

    It was Mother's Day weekend so I will offer some slack. I will start with saying that they need to…read morehave a pleasant well organized hostess at the door. I think the owner may have been at the door that day and seemed a bit frazzled (understandable). Also, a sign that says please wait here to be seated. When we arrived we didn't know where to stand so we went to the other side of the front desk and were somewhat scolded and redirected to go back around and wait. It was pointed out there was another family waiting to be seated. Hmm. But it was a busy day so we let that go. Fortunately we didn't wait long to be seated. The waiter, although not to experienced, was trying hard and answered all our questions. When we placed our order we were informed several items were not available. Hmmm. It was still early in the day, how do you not have the items. We ordered humus. DELICIOUS!!! Spanish Octopus with white rice, combination plate with lamb, steak and chicken plus the white rice, and finally lamb chops with white rice. Problem the octopus was served first it had superb flavor and not rubbery at all. That was my son's meal. Then about 5 mins later came my meal, the combination which was deliciously seasoned and the chicken was moist!! Finally 5-10 mins later the waiter came and told my daughter that the kitchen failed to tell him there were no lamb chops. So disappointed. They apologize and she ordered the combination plate which came about 10 minutes later. Needless to say my son and I were done with our meal. Problem: initially when we got the hummus we ate it but had to drink water because our drinks didn't come till I got my meal. I reminded the waiter and he explained they had to make the drinks. habiscus water and a mint lemonade. Hmmm Problem: when my son got his octopus, he didn't get a knife and I had to give him my steak knife so he could cut his octopus legs. Finally when we got the bill, we were being charged for the lamb chops!!! Needless to say Al Bahar was recommended by Albawadi Grill waitress. And yes the food is terrific! Even the white rice makes my mouth water. But the service and consistency needs much improvement. Although the waiter apologized, at no time were we offered some type of compensation for all the inconveniences experienced. Not that it's required nor do I expect it but it would've been a nice gesture. The table next to us complained loudly and they were offered free food. We complained subtly and no type of courtesy was extended. Do I recommend. Yes for pick up order the food is scrumptious and No I do not recommend dine in experience. They have much to improve! Goto Al Bawadi instead!! Their food is delicious, the service is very friendly and the humus and fresh made pita unbelievably delicious!
