We went there for lunch today, party of two, we ordered sashimi lunch, calamari steak and soft shell crab. When we mentioned we did not like tuna and mackerel as much, the server offered to substitute the fish in sashimi lunch. We enjoyed our food until our server brought the check telling us there is a substitute charge for every piece of sashimi they replaced making the sashimi lunch $29.50 instead of $24.50, this last minute surprise did not feel good, we told the server that he should have mentioned the extra charge in the first place. He offered ice cream when we complained and we said No. Also we learned that they do not put seaweed in their miso soup when we asked, just tofu and scallions. They did not have some of the ingredients in their drink menu.

This is a quiet yet delicious place for lunch or dinner. Not flashy, but just great food and a comfortable place to dine. We were 5 for dinner on a Saturday evening and we could hear each other. I had the grilled mackerel: perfection. And a side of shrimp and vegetable tempura. We also had the nabeyaki udon: generous bowl, and tonkatsu pork: perfectly crispy and juicy. The sushi dinner also well put together.

There's a reason this place has been open for so long - the fish is fresh! The chefs take special care in preparing each serving with love. The presentation is beautiful and the flavors match well and pop. The staff is super friendly and for the price there's few places that could match it in the Denver area. They have a great selection of beer and sake to wash everything down with and the ambience is nice and retro. Come here to be satisfied with sushi!

One of the most underrated sushi experiences in Denver. Everything is fresh and delicious. My other favs include Matsuhisa and Sushi Sasa. The quality is the same but the vibe is much more low key and doesn’t have all the frills it’s just super chill. Wear jeans no one cares. Wait staff and the guys at the sushi bar are all amazing!! The owner is always working and always smiling. Worth a trip about twice a week and it still won’t break your bank!

Sonoda’s Sushi is great! Their prices are excellent when compared to other sushi restaurants of similar caliber, the sushi is good, and the service was very friendly and timely. We were even given free green tea ice cream and sushi-themed calendars at the end of our meal! I also appreciated the aquariums and neat fish :) We also attended with a friend who has shellfish allergies and they gladly accommodated her and she had no issues during our meal.
