Nozu

Nozu exterior and interior as shown on Victorious.

Nozu, a parody of Nobu, is a sushi restaurant, featuring in Season 3 and 4 of Victorious. Its first appearance is in the episode André's Horrible Girl. After the Chinese restaurant Wok Star, was burned down by a mysterious fire (it is implied Mrs. Lee committed arson/insurance fraud), Mrs. Lee used the insurance money for Wok Star to create the Japanese restaurant, Nozu. It is similar to the real life Nobu, but Nozu also has karaoke. It has appeared in Tori and Jade's Playdate, where Tori and Jade had a “date” in order to test their friendship and acting skills. Nozu was also mentioned in Tori Gets Stuck when Tori asked Cat, Robbie, and André if they wanted to get sushi (this could mean that Nozu was built before its appearance), and in Driving Tori Crazy when Beck is talking to Tori. This restaurant is run by Mrs. Lee. Also, in How Trina Got In, Robbie treats Tori to a lunch at Nozu, but Robbie and Tori forgot their money at school, resulting in Mrs. Lee making them work by chopping 17 pounds of raw squid. Nozu also was shown in The Blonde Squad when Tori, Cat and Jade have dinner there and Cat meets Evan Smith. Nozu made its last appearance in The Hambone King, when Mrs. Lee offered Robbie a free tempura ice cream dessert in honor of his hambone video. Later, Robbie battles the other "Hambone King" and loses, but is coached by Tori, who eventually beats the "Hambone King".

Exterior.

  • Unlike Wok Star, Nozu has no insurance according to Mrs. Lee. It's possible she may have not finished the papers for the insurance since it was new.
  • Mrs. Lee made Robbie and Tori work here because they had no money to pay for their food.
  • On the set at Nozu, they brought in real sushi.
  • Nozu seemed to be slightly damaged at the end of the episode André's Horrible Girl.
  • According to an Ariana Grande interview with Popstar, it was inspired by the Japanese restaurant Nobu.
  • In Tori Gets Stuck, Tori asks if anyone would like to join her for sushi at Nozu. However, in Andre's Horrible Girl, Tori heavily implies that she is at Nozu for the first time.
    • Though in Tori Gets Stuck it may have been a different Nozu
  • Two songs were sung here, both of them in season three. The two songs were Countdown from André's Horrible Girl, and the second Take a Hint from Tori and Jade's Play Date.
  • It's name is the reference to nose and has many picture of noses on its walls.
  • Nozu's fate remains unknown following The Hambone King but it is likely that the restaurant either closed or given the fact that Mrs. Lee may have set fire to Wok Star she likely also set fire to Nozu as well.
  • The restaurant is similar to Karaoke Dokie.
  • Beck is the only main character to not have had a scene in Nozu.
  • In the episode The Hambone King it's the first episode to show the back side of Nozu.

Escape Hotel Hollywood as Nozu.

When the exterior shots were filmed, there was actually a Japanese sushi restaurant in the building. Since 2016, it houses escape rooms and the building was repainted from red to dark brown.[1]
