"Sonobana is anything but new, but a major renovation of the dining room has made this sushi and noodle restaurant better than ever. You can expect the same high-quality sushi rolls and perfectly tender crisp tempura, only now you can see the other people enjoying a meal like you are. There used to be a ton of walls breaking up the dining room and shutting in families in the booths, but with those gone, the space feels open and alive. The bento box remains an unbeatable lunch deal, packed with things like crab and avocado maki and teriyaki, and even if you upgrade to a fancy roll (that’s possibly rolled in smelt roe), it’s still around $20." - Ann Walczak
