Nozu exterior and interior as shown on Victorious.
Nozu is a sushi restaurant, featured in Seasons 3 and 4 of Victorious. Its first appearance is in the episode André's Horrible Girl. After Mrs. Lee's old restaurant, Wok Star, was burned down in a mysterious fire (it is implied she committed arson/insurance fraud), Mrs. Lee used the insurance money for Wok Star to open Nozu. 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. Tori, Cat, and Jade have dinner at Nozu in The Blonde Squad where 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".

Escape Hotel Hollywood as Nozu.
When the exterior shots were filmed, it actually was a Japanese sushi restaurant called Geisha House. In 2016, it became Escape Hotel, which has escape rooms and the exterior was repainted to black.[1]
