The server was nice and attentive. Their lunch offerings is spectacular and they do not skimp out. Especially the boxes. I typically "roll" with the 3 roll social. I ordered 2 of the yam rolls and 1 shrimp/asparagus roll. The special comes with miso soup and salad. Let's start with the soup, it came in at the perfect temperature. It had tofu and the broth was seasoned well. The crispy lettuce was covered with the Japanese dressing which was nice and bright, it was well balanced with rice vinegar and ginger. On to the Shrimp / Asparagus Roll. The asparagus was fresh and crisp. The shrimp was tender. The sushi rice was fluffy. The size of the roll is decent for lunch. Next the sweet potato rolls are my favorite, the tempura battered yams provided a nice crunch with every bite. I like this place but only have been here for lunch. Like I mentioned, we go here to celebrate a team member moving on to their next chapter. Good food, good service, good conversations with great people make this place special.

You get to order your food from a tablet that has descriptions and pictures of all of the food. It's really easy and convenient. AUCE for $35.99 is the only dinner option. The food was all delicious and fresh. The beef fried rice is the best I've had in years. The beef teriyaki was excellent as well as their rolls. The shrimp was large and salmon was fresh. This location is new, clean, and serving fresh flavor filled food! -------- The downside is I had called ahead to confirm they could serve someone with a gluten and dairy allergy and was told yes and that they had a gluten free menu. They do indeed have a gluten free menu, but there seem to be some kinks in the ordering process or holes in knowledge of what contains gluten as I was served multiple dishes with gluten. I do not recommend this restaurant for anyone with a severe gluten allergy or celiac.

So this place is not for you if you are not a big eater. Secondly the rolls were very loosely rolled and fell apart while dipping. The avocado was very fresh, however, the flavors were just so so. The spicy crab and tuna were bland. You have to ask for every condiment and napkins. You have to try to flag someone down for assistance. Since it was falling apart we needed extra napkins and they brought 1. The wings came with no sauce at all. They were getting cold before I could get someone's attention. We won't be back although the freshness was good there are other places that cater better to the customer.

Unfortunately, there was an overwhelming stench of poo poo cachoo when we entered the lobby prior to getting seated. I don't know if it was the cleaning agents that were used but the stench was so gross and unpleasant, I'm surprised my hubs and I were agreeable to stay. Anyways, I digress. When we were seated, the smell dissipated, thankfully. We had a lovely waiter named Lauren. She took our order and my hubs ordered the chicken ramen and I ordered the ying yang bowl. I made mine a combo because it came with a Thai iced tea and pork bao bun. We also ordered the yakitori platter to share and my hubs ordered a strawberry banana smoothie. We didn't wait too long to receive the yakitori platter which was decent but the meat was lukewarm. It consisted of chicken thigh, beef skirt, pork belly, scallops and zucchini that were on skewers. The fact that they were lukewarm didn't work in their favor. The skewers were small and didn't really hold the weight of a heavy $16 process. I then received my thai iced tea which tasted fine and my hubs enjoyed his strawberry smoothie reporting that it was creamy and flavorful. The pork bao was small but pretty good. The pork was tender and flavorful but the bao bun was too thick. It was like the bao bun thickness to the pork ratio didn't match. Still tasty nonetheless. When we got our soups, they were absolutely delicious. My hubs enjoyed his chicken ramen and he ordered extra noodles which help to enhance the dish alongside the use of the chili paste and shichimi togarashi condiment. My hubs reports that the soup including the bits of chicken at first was bland but was enhanced massively when he seasoned with the shichimi togarashi seasoning. Like him, I agreed as well. My ying yang soup was also bland in the beginning but once I added my bowl of extra noodles, some chili paste, some cayenne pepper and the shichimi togarashi condiment....things started to look up. It was creamy, spicy and oh so delicious. Lastly, to end the night, we got the Japanese cherry blossom jelly and the matcha tiramisu. Both were delicious and light. The Cherry blossom was so yummy, it reminded me of lychee. Just light and very flavorful. Absolutely, visually stunning as welll....i believe the youngins would call it a "clean girl aesthetic". The Japanese matcha tiramisu was delectable. Creamy, spongy and topped with a wonderful matcha powder that isn't overwhelming. All in all, we enjoyed our dinner date here. The food was good, price is a little steep for what you get and the decor is cute, big and open....with the exception of the smell of a really fat dinosaur who had an accident in the lobby. Thankfully, when we were heading through the lobby to leave, the stench of the dinosaur dookie was almost completely gone. For those of you who want to try it, I'd say go for it but I would also say you wouldn't miss out on anything, if you didn't.

I think this is the best sushi I've ever had. We are new to the area, and when a friend came to visit, we found this place, based on our love of sushi. As anyone who makes sushi knows, it's nearly impossible to find sushi grade fish in most towns, and it's very expensive, and sushi is very time-consuming, by the time you eat it, you have a mess in the kitchen, and you're tired. But you have to eat it fresh, or it doesn't taste the greatest. For about $40, we got two combination platters, and an appetizer, and it came with soup too. It was so delicious and we wanted to keep eating it, but it was too much for two people. So for the price, it is definitely a good value, and so fresh! With a place like this, it isn't even worth trying to make your own sushi to save money. Whenever I crave sushi, I am going to Soon's. Everyone who likes sushi should try this place. And the staff and Soon are very friendly, so that's just an all around great place. read more

I can't say enough good things about Soons sushi restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for what turned out to be an unforgettable meal. The sushi rolls are absolutely out of this world - each one was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly crafted. You can tell the chefs really know their stuff; the ingredients are top-notch, and the balance of flavors in every roll is impeccable. I especially loved their signature rolls - the combination of textures and tastes was simply divine. Every bite was a burst of deliciousness! The service was fantastic too - friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. If you're looking for an exceptional sushi experience, this place is a must-visit. I'm already planning my next trip! read more

My fiance and I went to Soon's last Saturday, and had the best meal. Great rolls, great noodle dishes and friendly service. We told the owner it was our first time and he promptly went back to the kitchen and brought us a sample of their squid salad. He said we had to try it, and said it's marinated so it's not rubbery like squid tends to be. It was amazing. We'll definitely order it next time, and that will probably be this week. read more

Worst service ever!!! Waited an hour just to be told they were working on another order. Absolutely unacceptable, maybe because I'm black I can't get served in a Wisconsin restaurant that caters to people outside the very area they located in. Piss poor and in 2014. Should not feel discriminated against in any city in America but after I left Soon's I felt like a second class citizen. read more
