About this business
Sono offers a contemporary sushi experience right in the heart of downtown Raleigh. Modern black and red interiors tinged with Japanese accents create a funky aesthetic that makes for the perfect night of sushi-fueled fun. Seasonal ingredients ensure that there is a constant change in the flavors in these innovative rolls. Other star dishes here include the Sono hot wings, assorted tempura, and yaki soba. And of course, no Japanese meal would be complete without some sake, of which there are several varieties at Sono. Go ahe... read more

The food passed the look test, but flunked the taste test – Avocado turning bad, mediocre rice, overcooked chicken teriyaki with undercooked vegetables, irregularly cut sushi and greasy tempura. My wife was actually nauseous after this meal. We ate here on Sunday night before Labor Day, so maybe the B team was in the kitchen, but we won't be going back.
Best Sushi! – This is the best Sushi my wife and I have ever had. Great atmosphere and the valet parking makes it very easy to get to. Will definitely go back!
One of the better sushi restaurants in the area – The food is great. The sushi is fresh and the variety is nice. I love that they have some items that other places don't have...such as Japanese snapper(yummy) and giant clam among many other fresh fish. Their entrees are not authentic yet very well presented and tasty too. Their special rolls are delicious as well but at time too heavy on the sauces....I always ask the server to tell them go light on the sauces or sometimes on the side. I love this place. I really think this ... read more
Great Place, Great Food, Great Service. Awesome addition to downtown. – I am so happy to finally see a great sushi restaurant in the area. A great addition to the downtown dining repotoir along with Mint and Fins. This is a fabulous restaurant with great food and awesome sushi. I've been here multiple times and only had one sketchy experience...even then, the manager handled the situation very nicely and turned the situation around to make it a great experience for us. It does get a little crowded and loud in the weekends bu... read more
One of the best Japanese restaurant in the triangle area overall – After looking at the menu for the first time and found lots of non-traditional items I was a little worried that this was just another "NOBU" wanna-be but decided to sit at the sushi bar and try them out. I was surprised by the extensive sushi items on the sushi menu and that they carried so many fresh fish. So I began by asking the sushi chefs what was good and they recommended surprisingly large number of things...usually they will either say "they are all ... read more
Dynamic Duo from Mura does it again. – This place is run by the same successful duo who own Mura in North Hills. Very nice interior with stylish bar in front, booths, tables and sushi bar in back. Got off to a rocky start when I ordered my usual Gibson and the waiter returned from the bar saying they had no cocktail onions. Choose a bottle of sake instead. The menu presents some items I doubt are on most Japanese menus you've seen before: sauteed foie gras with sweet ginger glaze and butter poached lobster tail with saffron ... read more
Best sushi in Raleigh. And we've had them all. – Excellent sashimi. Also, their specialty roll is the Screaming O. We had it, and it's definitely worth the risk, as it was very nicely prepared. Free valet parking is nice also. However, it took 15 minutes to retrieve our car maybe because it was 9p Saturday when we left. Service was good. Quite a romantic evening downtown, and sushi always makes us a little randy. Very nice place.
Awsome Service only exceeded by outstanding sushi. Free Valet Parking was wonderful because of the downtown location. Easy in and easy out. This is a must do if you are looking for the best sushi masterly done. Whoever is coordinating this establishment is doing an outstanding job. Thanks for an outstanding evening sono. See you again soon.
Great atmosphere, good sushi – Sono is a terrific restaurant for those of us that work downtown. It is great to have a good sushi place to walk to. They have an awesome sushi lunch special that keeps me there a few times a month! The Screaming O roll is delicious! All of the rolls I have had have been huge - 2 rolls is definitely a large lunch. The atmosphere is terrific, it is really beautiful inside. My only complaints (and these are trivial, really!) are that it is always freezing in there no matter what the temperature o... read more
