Absolutely fabulous quality produce ~ great service ~ best UNI in LA ✨️
There’s a lot to appreciate about Sonmari… fresh ingredients, creative dishes, a lovely ambiance, and great music that brings everything together. The uni toast was delicious, the miso clam chowder was another highlight, and the hand rolls were so fresh and yummy.. The kitchen team also looked neat and professional.

Soo yummy!! Definitely recommend the hikari-don, it's super loaded, not too much rice, and so pretty like a jewel. Fish was all really fresh tasting, uni wasn't fishy at all.
I got the sonmari set of handrolls and my favorite was definitely the salmon. Super buttery and fresh. I also added the unagi and banh mi handrolls based on the server's recommendation and I would definitely get the unagi one again the charred grill on it was so tasty!

Sonmari is a restaurant praised for its fresh ingredients, creative dishes, lovely ambiance, and great music. The handroll spot offers a cozy space and a nice outdoor seating area. Guests have enjoyed a variety of hand rolls, with favorites including blue crab, scallop, salmon, chili yellowtail, banh mi, and unagi. The banh mi handroll was ordered twice by one guest, and the charred grill on the unagi was noted as tasty. Other highlights include the Finding Nemo mocktail, uni toast, miso clam chowder, sweet shrimp sushi served with a fried shrimp head, Hikari Don, and Wagyu Donabe, which was described as soooo good and one of the favorite dishes of the night. The hikari-don was called super loaded, not too much rice, and so pretty like a jewel, with fish that was all really fresh tasting and uni that wasn't fishy at all. The sonmari set of handrolls was ordered, with the salmon noted as super buttery and fresh. The soba and caviar potato pancake were good but probably wouldn't be ordered again. Extra seaweed was $2. The kitchen team looked neat and professional, and the chef was seen walking around and checking on the dining room. The host was warm and helpful. Table service felt less consistent, with multiple servers and one interaction described as impersonal. Serving sizes in pictures look bigger than they are, and parking is a challenge. Overall, the food was really tasty and the restaurant is highly recommended.
