"Absolutely delicious!! I was excited to try the sushi nachos and they did not disappoint. I tried a bite of tofu from my friends bento box and it was so flavorful. I was impressed by the decor. I loved the variety and unique sushi options. They have a buffalo sushi roll. I will absolutely be coming back. I am bummed they have Pepsi... But the mtn dew was crisp and refreshing."

"We love this place! It's a great place for real sushi at a decent price. Other food like their tofu and edamame are excellent as well. My husband is pretty much vegan and I often eat vegetarian so this is our go-to place for special occasions, and when I just don't want to cook and am hungry for sushi. Best sushi this side of Osaka! And yes, we lived there."

- Ruby H.

"My wife and I had lunch here yesterday. Waitress was very nice, food was very good, came out fast. I had the Bento Box, which I think is the best deal. Comes with sushi, carrots, rice, and your choice of steak or chicken. She got sushi, then we split the fried Oreos. I was skeptical about the Oreos but they're really good. I recommend getting the Oreos on a first date. Get messy, no silverware, show the new prospect what you're made of lol."

"A huge step up for Greeneville as far as sushi and hibachi go! The house soup was well flavored. The house salad was extraordinarily fresh. The special for the night was the Holy Smoke roll, which is pictured. The roll held perfectly while I ate it with chopsticks. It was delicious. The perfect amount of spice and cream cheese. The ginger was fresh as well! My husband ordered the shrimp hibachi and said it was all delicious. He also said it was the best hibachi that he has had in quite a while. I'm so excited to have Nova's in Greeneville!!! It's a very welcome addition!!!!"
