A+ in all categories

by CarsonSarah

Service, atmosphere, food quality, food presentation, and service all A+. They use the highest quality ingredients and spare nothing in preparation. They also have a great selection of the less common tane, such as sea urchin. When sitting at the sushi bar the expertise is obvious. The chefs are very friendly, which makes for a great experience. We live an hour outside Raleigh and we will travel there just to dine at Sono.

Of the 300 or so Sushi bars that I have dined at in this hemisphere over the last 20 years, Sono is memorable. For a fusion style restaurant, it does not get any better than this.

Try the Sono roll or any of the seared rolls as a starter.

• Pros: Fantastic fusion menu
• Cons: None

Tasty sushi in a cool atmosphere

by mkathrynp

My boyfriend went on a date here for the first time recently. It was awesome!! The sushi was great--of the Raleigh sushi places I would rate it right up there with Waraji. The hostess was really friendly, and our waiter was extremely helpful in helping us decide which rolls to get. The service was outstanding! My only complaint was that the sake decanters (we had a small and a large) were pretty small for the price. This is a great place for a date!!

• Pros: Sushi, service
• Cons: $$$

Great Sushi

by johndonavan123

I have eaten here around 10 times and can say the food is great. Very fresh tasting and they do a good job on presentation. My experience with service is mixed so we usually sit at the bar or sushi bar and it has still taken a long time to get drinks on certain nights..

Overall, Highly recommend Sono

• Pros: fresh sushi, location
• Cons: sometimes service
