Great food and service, the otoro was definitely worth the price, i couldn't get enough of the salad and soup, everything was really good I will come back soon
Sonobana is the BEST sushi I have ever had! It took about 10 minutes wait time to get a table. I loved the miso soup and tempura for appetizers and the green tea. I also ordered salmon avocado and nigiri sushi and some more! All of the sushi rolls were incredible! The waiter I had was so kind and amazing. I would 100% recommend coming to Sonobana!
"Oh, What a night!" We had the greatest, most delicious, most fun night at Sonobana, last night, 11/13/25! Why? 1. Cause of Aya, the manager, who with her gorgeous self, welcomed us and took great care of us as she was everyone else, and it was a full house! 2. And Hunter, our server! Where did you find him? Handsome, adorable, brilliant skills as he times out the delivery perfectly, you don't feel rushed, and he's the sweetest young man, and our family needed that last night! So, Hunter, get ready, cause we eat if you are our server, from now on! Sonobana has been a favorite for our family, friends, for years as we appreciated the manager whose name I cannot recall. I personally haven't been in few years and I was relieved going again and seeing the food is still superb, the prices the best and most fair in town, seeing the new remodel with great lighting, tables arranged so that you can converse even when full, so clean, the house salad fresh, my agu dofu (sorry spell) was the most delicious ever, the seaweed salad so yummy, great meal!!!!! Oh, and it is a family place, as our cousins and their kids there or a great place for a romantic dinner. Very cool to have this in our neighborhood! Kita tresna Sonobana!
Very much enjoyed my meal! The service was prompt and friendly and the wait (10 min) was well worth it! The sushi was fresh and delicious! The menu is quite overwhelming with a lack of photos of sushi, but the two pager that accompanies is helpful! Limited drink choices, but who is going here for the drinks anyway?? Excellent sushi; sushi so good I felt like I was undercharged. The wasabi didn’t disappoint either!
The brief wait, due to popularity, was mitigated by nearby attractions like the Sonobana store next door and Trader Joe's. Once seated, every culinary delight surprised, especially the exceptional sushi, which was pristine, bursting with flavor, and top-grade. Highly endorsed for sushi connoisseurs, and I am eager to return.
