Can’t beat the quality and freshness of the food served here! It’s my go-to place for sushi— it always tastes amazing and the bento boxes are really filling.

This restaurant serves excellent Japanese food. Their chef is from Japan. Can’t get high quality food anywhere else. Highly recommend!

Sonobana is a standout among the myriad of sushi restaurants in the greater New Haven area. Not everyone can make it to New York or Boston for decent sushi restaurants. This is where Sonobana comes to the rescue. The interior is very tastefully decorated without the garish photos of sushi dishes or the marker board advertising specials. The dishes are of very high quality and taste. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine then definitely take the time to visit!

I was waiting 45 minutes for a miso soup and some shumai when the shumai arrived it was cold, 10 minutes passed and the soup did not come and my sushi was not even in process, it was my favorite place for sushi but today I went it was a disaster
A real sleeper! Best sushi this side of the Mississippi..I'm not kidding. The owner is a Japanese man who has taken the art of sushi rice-making to a new level. The salmon is like butter, fresh , tasty and best of all, affordable. As authentic as if you were visiting Japan.

Had the 15 piece sashimi and eel sushi ?.. I recommend both.Parking: You can park on the street but limited.. more parking and entrance to the rear of the building..

My favorite sushi spot in the area! I've been here about 20-30 times, and it's always great quality. The sushi is fresh and the chefs/owners make authentic Japanese dishes. The best options are probably the bento box (~$18 for dinner, ~$13 for lunch) or the sushi sets (~$17-24)

What a neighborhood delight. Excellent food at a great value. The service was top notch. We even met the owners. We could understand why its a local favorite. We will be back?
