Sono - Raleigh

From out of town, but drop by when we can. My husband and I love it here! Great food, great service.

We have been coming for years and the sushi never disappoints- fresh, good portions, the right temperature. Andrew, our server (and bartender) was especially amazing- fun, expedient and knowledgeable. Thank you Andrew for a fun pre- concert dinner (you were more fun than the concert)!

Went in for lunch today with a couple friends, and was limited on menu choices due to my fish allergy however my server Patty and the manager were both incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating and helped me find a few things I was able to order and overall I really felt went above and beyond. While not able to get the items I initially wanted, the pork gyoza (minus the soy sauce which also had dashi) , the cucumber rolls and ginger salad were all great.

Marika was awesome as always! Great service and vibe will def be back.

As long as I've been attending the week-long International Bluegrass Music Association IBMA World of Bluegrass [hidden link] in Raleigh, N.C., I've been having a meal or two at Sono Sushi. I accidentally discovered Sono in 2017 and gave it a try. I was very impressed with the quality and selection of their sushi and other Japanese cuisine, drinks, and their impeccable service. I'm from California and finding a good sushi place in downtown Raleigh, who would've thought? Sadly, last Saturday's 5pm dinner 9/28/24 will probably be my last time dining at Sono because the IBMA WoB is moving venues to Chattanooga, T.N., after 11 years. So, that evening I went all out. My server was Andrew and he was very friendly and attentive. I had an incredibly delicious Tonkotsu Ramen with pork bone broth, black garlic oil, pork chasu, egg, noodles and a splash of chili oil. With uni sea urchin and hamachi yellowtail nigiri sushi. Paired with an ice cold Asahi. Everything was made to perfection! I even ordered a spicy tuna roll and a blue crab handroll to go for a midnight snack! Kudos to the sushi chef and their kitchen staff. I'd like to call special attention to the uni which can be hit-or-miss. And Sono nailed it! The management of this establishment is also top-notch as they would also stopped to ask me how I was doing during my meal. I will definitely miss Sono, my go-to place for sushi when in downtown Raleigh. Arigato gozaimasu Sono!!
