We loved our meal at Sono! Very authentic, yes it's on the pricier side for a meal but good Japanese food usually is. Staff were very friendly and accommodating . Will be going again.

Sono had great food and service in an authentic Japanese setting. The food was nothing short of delicious. It is expensive but the food and service match the cost so I will definitely be going back. Great menu with lots of options to suit everyone. Overall a great dining experience.

My husband & I first tried Sono's Hamilton not long after it first opened...OMG what an experience. Since then we have been back numerous times and each time the maitre-de greeted us by our first names and asked how we had been over the last year and remembered things from our last conversation a year ago (we don't live in...

I had lunch at this restaurant with friends. Very attractive venue, though parking at midday was a problem. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable. Food was excellent, and plentiful. One of the best.

I live near here for 3 years and had no idea they had a tepanyaki bar. So we booked in for 6:15. If you arrive before they are shut and make you wait! Weird...and lost sales from the bar...lots of people waiting in a line. The dinner was excellent. So fresh and beautifully done until dessert, This is around 8:00... More

Had heard a lot of great things about Sono so was expecting a pretty high standard of food and service. Was not disappointed at all, there is nothing I could fault this dining experience on !! We booked a spot at the teppanyaki bar and it was amazing, we thought the serving sizes might be a bit small but we... More

I really enjoyed going here a few times since it's opened. Have enjoyed taking some international guests here also who enjoy Japanese cuisine. The sake is lovely too!

My son took us to Sono for a birthday dinner. Superb food and very good service. We have dined at Sono previously and food as good as we remembered.

Been several times to Sono now for both lunch and dinner. First off it is not super expensive but it isn;t cheap. Secondly you can see they have taken a lot of care and attention to both the location, the service and esp with the food. I think it really reflects well on them. Our favs have definitely been the...

I previously visited the city restaurant semi regularly so wanted to see if they had continued the service and standards to the Portside location. A business associate and I had a couple of glasses of wine and ordered some sashimi, a bento box and sushi. Everything was great, not a complaint about the food. The service is as flawless as...
