    Nikki M.

    Matcha ice cream

    I stumble upon this place after having a craving for some sashimi and found this lucky gem. In the beginning I thought it was some industrial complex when driving through but once exiting the car and walking towards the lake did we notice the restaurant. The cleanliness and the Japanese planter courtyard entrance made you feel transfer back into a nice dojo of a restaurant. The waitresses wearing kimonos and the staff is chef outfit and the simplest Marie kondo simplistic setting made the place very warming. The staff were super attentive and we were able to strike a conversations in mandarin and Korean. Looks like the ownership was changed a long time ago but it looks like the quality of food and service has continue to maintain its spectacular delicacy. We ordered the chirashi and the 20 piece sashimi boat. I must say the quality is amazing and pretty decent. Very fresh indeed and we ended the evening with matcha ice cream. The staff was accommodating and welcoming. Will come back again.

    Oshinko (pickled veggies)

    Service was polite and friendly. Maybe a little slow but it looked like a slow day. It's right in the path that wraps around the lake so you can people watch from the windows. We were sat without a reservation right away. The only real drawback was the food. It's good but not great, especially for the price. Pickled vegetables (oshinko) was great, but $5 is still a lot for a little side. The teriyaki chicken lacked flavor and was pretty rubbery. The spicy tuna tartare had a great flavor, but still a small portion for $18. The rolls were definitely decent, but again rather pricey. Would come back if in the area and looking for a view, but wouldn't go out of my way.

    Spicy Grilled Roll

    Came here with my friend and got seated immediately for dinner. We ordered salmon and toro nigiri and spicy grill roll and Fourth of July roll. The nigiri was super good and they put a large piece on it which makes it more worth it and it tasted very fresh. We always order spicy grill roll which is so delicious as always. Then we tried a new roll Fourth of July as it comes with many different fishes which was highly intriguing. This roll was really savory and filling as well.

    Enjoying a great sushi lunch with an awesome friend. The food and the service here is always spectacular

    The first time I visited the place I was already impressed and I said that I would bring my mom here for Mother's Day celebration. The food tastes so good and the serving portion is just enough. The waitresses are polite and attentive. The ambience is nice and clean. This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Columbia. I highly recommend the steak it is so juicy and not dry.

    This is one of the longest standing sushi restaurants in Columbia. They have always served some of the best sushi here. And when I say sushi, I am NOT talking about those fancy sushi rolls made for Americans, I am talking about the real Japanese style sushi, because this is the only way you can tell the true skills of the sushi chefs. And here, you can find some of the finest. From plating, freshness of the seafood to the size of the fish slices and taste of the sushi rice. Props to chef Jason , chef Yang, and the younger chefs who crafted the deliciousness behind the counter. So we have been coming to Sono for many years, no restaurants is perfect, I've had several undesirable dishes here as well. Like I said earlier, those all happened to be the none Japanese traditional dishes so I don't fault them on it. Price is on the high side if you are like me and going for uni, toro, salmon belly. You can definitely stick to budget friendly items as well to order the common items. Staff were super efficient given how busy and crowded this place can get. Mistakes happens and they do correct them on the spot. I call this good service. You will wait for a while if you come during peak hours without reservations. Convenient parkings options nearby . You can either park in the garage or by whole-foods. Highly recommend by this foodie IG@WineDinenVacay

    Really good sushi and sashimi so fresh! Recommend the whole fish sashimi- after done they will cook the soup ( miso / ginger your choice) , and fire a part of it. Service is nice!

    I came by with friends before a concert at Merriweather. We picked the restaurant randomly but I was surprised by the quality from the moment we walked in. The servers are extremely kind and welcoming, and the decor makes you feel like you're in a real sushi house. The sushi was amazing. High quality ingredients, well prepared, and good prices. Some of our group got non-sushi dishes too, and they came with salad and miso soup. The quality was high and again, it seemed like a great deal for the price. I wished I lived closer because this would become a go-to for me!

    Quick service, busy but efficient & friendly. Sushi boat & edamame: edamame was simple & salty; sashimi pieces were generous with big cuts. Even though you can't choose your fish and its chef's choice, all of the pieces were very good. Quality of the fish was great as well. The menu isn't as extensive with a lot of variety of rolls but I'd come back!

    Creative rolls, all tasty and no complaints. Great location near Lake Kit so you can walk off all that fish and rice. Parking is in the rear structure. Would go again, big menu including curry, rice, katsu, and soups.

    I liked the ambiance of this place! It reminds me of a Japanese place we went to in Hawaii. As for the food I enjoyed what we got mainly the lobster roll. However, except for the dragon roll I was not a fan of that one. Would go here again since it's by the lake though! It's a good area to be in!
