    I think tonight's visit was my 2nd time at this location. I love that it's bigger inside and has more room to sit comfortably. I have been to the Sedona locations a handful of times, but it is cramped in there! The two times I've been here to the Gilbert location have been great! The employees are helpful and they are pretty quick getting your order out. Tonight I went with a friend and we ordered the same thing. You can't go wrong with the Pop n Bo combo. At $16.25, it's a pretty good deal for a generous portion of their popcorn chicken WITH a boba drink! They have merch for sale as well as other desserts in the fridge case by the register. If you're a boba lover like me, you're gonna want to hit up Sono Kitchen & Boba. It's the home of the Super Size boba drinks (an additional $2.50 if you add it to the combo)!!! Just be careful if you take them to go. Last time I came, the drink toppled over as I reversed my car and the whole thing spilled on my passenger side! *gasp* Luckily, they were kind enough to make me a new one when I brought it in and told them what happened. I am always appreciative of awesome businesses like this one who don't try to nickel and dime you. There's ample parking outside as it's located at the SanTan Village Marketplace. Cheers to your next boba drinks!

    Salt and Pepper Chicken Don
    Alexandra L.

    On a beautiful Saturday, came to the mall specifically to have lunch at Sono. What's crazy is the line next door at Chipotle is crazy busy, and this hidden gem, it was busy enough but not packed. Although, I'm kinda happy about that - no long line! We ordered the same thing we got our first visit, but I seriously need to try more of their stuff. Next time I plan on getting the Japanese Shrimp or the salt and pepper popcorn tofu or takoyaki!

    Popcorn chicken

    When you walk in, the shop is very inviting. The bright yellows and whites help brighten and warm the room. I was surprised at how extensive the menu was; I thought there would be a majority of drinks and two items to snack on, but there were definitely more than I was prepared to decide on. I opted for the popcorn chicken. As I waited for my food, there was a couple fun things to see, like their wall of blind boxes you can purchase. For the price of the popcorn chicken, I felt that the amount I received was very fair, and honestly worth it. There were a lot of big pieces of chicken (suchhhh a perk since it could have been all deep fry), and the flavour was super yummy. I think next time I'd order it with extra seasoning or garlic/basil (? I think they had these two in there). I felt it could have been seasoned just a SMIDGE more, but it was still tasty. After iTea left a popcorn chicken sized hole in my heart, I felt this was a suitable replacement. I haven't gotten the drinks yet, but am excited to try it next!

    Popcorn chicken with the dipping sauce

    Absolutely delicious! I came in for my lunch and ended up staying the enjoy the ambience. There is a self-ordering kiosk at the front. The menu was pretty straightforward so I ordered their Pop N Bo combo! This is an order of popcorn chicken and a medium boba drink. The interior is clean and cute! There is plenty seating inside and out! They brought my order fresh to me and to my table. The popcorn chicken was piping hot and I loved that! It was crispy and satisfying and the boba was refreshing. I really enjoyed my visit!

    Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken
    Lillian F.

    Came here for lunch with my partner - I ordered the sono boba milk tea (with regular boba) and the basil chicken don (which came with macaroni salad, seaweed salad, and cucumber salad) and he ordered the pop n bo (popcorn chicken and a mango snow white (with peach popping boba) and everything was great--the drinks were not too sweet, and the food was not too salty. Service was a little slow, but the piping hot food made up for it. The popcorn chicken was definitely the star of the show - light but crisp coating, with lots of white pepper. The chicken pieces were also large and hearty. Probably the best Taiwanese popcorn chicken in the valley (that I've had). The only critique I have is that the boba seemed to be a little overcooked - there was a nice chew but not quite as Q as I personally enjoy. We'll definitely be back though!

    Sono Noodle House
    Lucy L.

    Stopped here for lunch and arrived around 11:40am. The owner, Jerry, is super friendly. He made sure to accommodate my friend's dairy allergy for her drink and assured the food was safe to eat. I've been here several times already so I knew what to expect. Eating popcorn chicken fresh is the best. I burnt my tongue a few times but was worth it. I also got the tiramisu milk tea with coffee jelly and I think I've found my new favorite. I look forward to having it again soon!

    Udon with shrimp and chicken
    Krista P.

    I had the shrimp and chicken udon. The broth had this unique smoky flavor and I can honestly say it was one of the most wonderfully flavored broths I have had from asian soups. So delicious. I ask had the prickly pear mojito boba tea, but it was a bit too sweet for me. It tasted quite artificially sweetened. Not my style, but my boyfriend's mango one was excellent! This was my second time here and I would go back again.

    Thai tea
    Christa M.

    I stopped by last week and the worker was very friendly and welcoming! I ordered the "super size" Thai tea with boba and paid about $11 with tip. The inside was clean and cool. The yellow makes it very cheerful and fun. The drink was refreshing and yummy.

    I was super excited for a new boba place in Gilbert and especially one with a SUPER size boba option, but the boba drinks are my least favorite thing about this place. I've tried several drinks and haven't found one that I love yet: - Tiramisu was just ok. It didn't have any flavors that stood out. - Thai Milk Tea was super underwhelming and didn't taste like the Thai Tea at other places. - Taro Yama - My husband really enjoys this drink, but this was my least favorite one I tried here. - Sea Salt Mango - The only drink I've tried so far that I somewhat enjoy, but not enough to get a SUPER size version of. I do however enjoy most of the food here! The XLB (soup dumplings) was pleasantly good. Their popcorn chicken is well portioned and delicious and comes with a very delicious sauce. I also love being able to order off a kiosk. The service and staff are super nice! They are so accommodating and welcoming. I'll definitely be back for the XLB and to try more drinks and hopefully find one I love.

    I've been here twice now, and I'm officially hooked. This place is adorable, clean, and organized, with a cozy and welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in. It's tucked in a big shopping center, and I love that Barnes & Noble (two stories!) is right next door--perfect for a little treat + book combo outing. Drinks & Food The staff is amazing--super friendly, upbeat, and actually knowledgeable, especially when it comes to food allergies. I have a dairy allergy, and they knew exactly what drinks I could safely order, and even helped me with alternative options. * My favorite: Matcha boba -- smooth, balanced, and not overloaded with ice (which I really appreciate--you're getting what you pay for!). * My daughter's favorite: Rose milk tea with boba - fragrant, floral, and so refreshing * The boba itself is perfect--soft, chewy, and never overcooked. They also offer something called the Pop N Bo--a combo that comes with boba + crispy fried chicken for just $16, and the chicken is dairy-free! Also tried their Gyoza, and let me just say: top-tier deliciousness. Cute Extras They sell the cutest things! * Adorable custom cups * Keychains, collectibles, and mini merch * Grab-and-go snacks and drinks in the refrigerated case by the register * Don't forget to ask for a punch card so you can earn points toward free drinks! Clean & Quirky Bathroom Even their bathroom is a vibe--super clean and decorated with cute cat art on the walls. Love the attention to detail here. Final thoughts: Sono Boba is now one of my go-to spots for a treat with my kids or a solo pick-me-up. Great drinks, great food, allergy-friendly, adorable atmosphere, and just overall good energy. Can't wait to go back and try more!

    Sono Boba Milk Tea medium
    Emma N.

    I liked this place! Lots of parking and indoor/outdoor seating available. They also offer some really yummy food! Merchandise was available for purchase too. The people working were really nice and helpful. I decided to try the Sono Boba milk tea. I did 75% sweet and 50% ice. I really enjoyed it and plan on coming back soon to try the popcorn tofu!

    Kathy C.

    We decided to come Check out this new spot at santan mall. I don't usually drink too much boba since they're usually a little too sweet for me. But this place you can get the drinks less sweetened. Which is a plus ! I got the lychee and mint one and it was very refreshing and I got it half sweetened. We also got the Thai tea and a couple others. It was perfect. We also got the Salt and pepper chicken and it was really good ! The staff's were friendly and had a cute modern look !

    Sono House Noodles with Teriyaki Chicken
    Sunny S.

    We got Pop n Bo, Basil Ginger Chicken Don, Sono House Noodles, Prickly Pear Mojito, and Tiger Power Snow White. Impressed! The workers jumped into action as soon as we ordered and cooked rapidly. It was all cooked to order, well seasoned, and cooked well. The chicken in every dish was distinct and delicious. Basil Ginger Chicken tasted exactly like it. The Teriyaki Chicken that comes with the Sono House Noodles was perfectly sauced and not too sweet. The side dishes that come with the entrees -- pickled cucumbers, seaweed salad, macaroni salad, sweet steamed egg bite -- were all tasty! The Popcorn Chicken (from the Pop n Bo combo) was perfectly fried and not greasy. The boba drinks weren't the best we've ever had but they were still very good and complimented our meals. The place is bright, cheery, and conveniently located at San Tan Village.

I got the Triple Kill, mainly cause I was a bit tired, it has Thai tea, coffee, milk and dark chocolate. I substitute for oat milk (+$0.50) and added Brown sugar boba (don't remember the cost). I thought the pricing was average cost, and the wait time was extremely bare minimum. What caught my eye was the cool claw machine. I wish I had single $1.00 to play it. It costs $1/attempt. The place was clean and so was the restroom. In my boba picture it looks watery, but it's not after you mix the dark chocolate in the drink at the bottom of the drink. Now I usually drive home while drinking boba and have leftover to enjoy while home, but not here. The drink was so good I practically inhaled it in the parking lot! I wanted to buy another, but I didn't want to go overboard on the caffeine. The Triple Kill definitely did the trick, woke me up, I was up all night! lol I think the card benefit is really cool, giving you a 50% off on your 6th drink, and it still counts towards the 10. I'll be back to explore the other options and checkout their specials menu! FYI.. I see my receipt is on the drink, my total was $7 and some change, I just like to tip extra for people, that's why the total is $11+

I recommend this drink if you like sesame. Cute, clean, and inviting. I like the space theme. Its located in a plaza area with other health clinics so parking might be tight.

They had multiple bags available but since I was on my own, I only got one. I found a parking spot nearby and arrived 15 minutes before closing. The gentleman bagged my drinks for me and told me two were caffeinated and two were not. Friendly and quick customer service. I got four (4) large drinks for basically the price of one, a great deal. They were all 50% sugar level and regular ice. The first night I tried the hibiscus tea and it was nice, though could've had a stronger flavor as I could taste it being slowly watered down by the ice. I then tried the kiwi galaxy, which was a beautiful shade of green and had a sweet flavor, though kiwi is not my favorite. The black Ceylon fresh tea had a strong tea flavor which I enjoyed, and added some honey because I like it. I tried the honeydew tea with black tea base last because I'm not a honeydew fan. It tasted just like honeydew, so flavor is spot on. Just not for me, though the black tea base gave it a nice aftertaste. As a boba fanatic, I would've loved some chewy pearls to try but you get what you get with TGTG. it was nice to be able to try so many different drinks at a discount, especially since I usually order milk teas so these were different.

I figured a Sunday afternoon would be calm, so I decided to pop in for a solo lunch. What I Ordered: - Yuzu Mule: The drink was delicious and refreshing, so I ordered a second one. Definitely order if I return as well. - Hamachi Lime Roll: This roll had an odd texture to me, and ultimately, I grabbed the rest to go as it was a little off putting to me. The flavor was decent though I found myself wishing there was more crunch with tempura flakes or panko bread crumbs on top. - Crazy Roll: The winner between the two rolls in terms of flavor and preference. Though, I wish this roll had the spicy mayo the other one had. I'd definitely order again and ask for a side of spicy mayo that I could add to the roll. Love the soy paper option! As for ambiance? I thought country music was an incredibly odd choice for this establishment hence the 4 stars versus 5 star review. I'd prefer more traditional Japanese music, or heck, even some J-Rock over American country music. I'm guessing Sunday afternoon is a slower time, so it was employee choice. Overall, I'd visit again when in the area and recommend to friends/family.

Course 2: Spicy Scallop Futomaki/hokkaido scallop / benishoga / chili crisp/ takuan / wasabi mayo. This roll tastes great, scallop tastes fresh and I love the way it was seasoned.
