Orange County Restaurants

NOVA Kitchen & Bar is an experiential dining destination, exploring the five elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—to engage and tantalize the five senses of taste, smell, sight, touch and sound. The result? An ethereal and magical experience. Inspired by the transient astronomical event of a moving star, Nova empowers guests to experience the five dimensions of life on earth like they never have before.

Nova Kitchen & Bar’s Five Elements experience is spearheaded by acclaimed Executive Chef Abel Vargas, who has worked with some of the most reputable names in fine dining, both in Los Angeles and Orange County. His unique skills at creating innovative menus for Japanese and Asian Fusion fine dining make him the perfect match to take you on a culinary journey at Nova.
