We have been ordering from Sono for many years, since they first opened. After a hiatus due to unrelated circumstances, we began ordering from Sono again and wondered why we ever stopped. The sushi is consistently fresh and prices are reasonable, and they outdo the larger name chains in the local area. Highly recommended.

Delicious sushi, always fresh. Healthy pours, good wine selection. Their non sushi is great too, we like the chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce. Wonderful having them in a neighborhood that doesn’t have many options nearby. They make a mean mai tai.

I just moved to town and have eaten at maybe 5 or 6 places, and this place is far and away my favorite. Best pad thai I've ever had, drinks are really good and cheap, and the atmosphere, at least on a Tues night, is really nice and quiet.Also, I am not sure why it's listed as 30-50, I got a mixed drink, a sushi roll, and pad Thai for <30, and they brought out wonton for free.Really happy with my meal! I look forward to sharing this place with friends.Update: Still...
