So I tried this place once by DoorDash and I didn't have the best experience but then I sort of blame myself because you don't maybe some dishes need to be fresh. So today went in person I ordered a coconut curry soup young man who waited on me very polite very helpful brought the soup to me. I was all taken back that it was in a cup and not a regular bowl, but after looking at their menu again I realize that sort of their vibe is to have everything like dish. The soup is very bland. It's definitely mean coconut and curry, but there's no depth to the flavor no five spices no ginger no garlic, fish saucer anything very bland could have used some salt no cumin's came with it. Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, nothing on the side no chili crisp no nothing I couldn't find any cilantro. I did find a one leaf of Thai basil and the onions in the soup were raw and pickled which on a banh mi that's delicious but in a soup it was a little strange so I don't know. Maybe I'll go back for a banh mi but I think I'm gonna pass on this place. However, it's very clean in there and the staff was nice and it looks like the people that like it really like it so maybe your taste are different from mine read more

Take out or eat-in, you're guaranteed to have a great meal! The staff puts alot of effort into packing up your meal to go which we appreciate. The chicken bento box with soup and the spicy tuna avocado roll traveled well! Always consistently a great meal, it's a two man operation and everything is prepared to order so there might be a wait but it's definitely worth it! read more

This was my first visit--it will absolutely NOT be my last. For a quick-serve/quick-casual place, I've found few (if any) better. Certainly not in the Asian Fusion genre. Place is spotless. Lots of pride in the experience. Staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, FRIENDLY, and willing to take interest in your meal. The owner/chef himself took the time to discuss my meal, make suggestions for next, and was proud to share some of his processes and commitments to fresh and delicious food. I started with the pan-fried pork dumplings. I've never had a more tender dumpling. Not even in Shanghai when I'd go there for work. Ended with the teriyaki cheese steak. Tender meat, ample portion, and crispy fresh veggies. I can't wait to go back. I'm going to try the pork burger and the shrimp po boy. Chef highly recommends. (I may go back tonight, shhhh!) Simply!! Outstanding!! read more

My mom and I were looking for lunch on a whim in Southbury, and decided to pop into Sonny's since I had heard good things. Convenient counter-service style restaurant with a great menu. The Asian style sandwiches are so unique, and we enjoyed the steak teriyaki one! Delicious summer rolls, dumplings, and chicken yakitori as well. The staff member behind the counter was attentive throughout the meal, bringing us napkins and utensils, and even offering to clear our trash. This was exactly what we were looking for and was a nice, quick lunch. We would definitely come back! read more

Must try! Love the surf and turf tacos and the steak soba noodles. Great staff, very friendly.

I LOVE Sonny's grinders so much! I always get the steak teriyaki and it never disappoints. The veggies inside are so fresh, the meat is flavorful and juicy, and the sauce is delicious. The service is fantastic and you are always greeted with a smile. They have both indoor and outdoor seating as well! read more

Absolutely love this place food is delicious and very clean very fresh. Great customer service and very friendly.

Sunday (7/14/2024) my husband and I went to Revelry Brewery and tried "Sonny's Grinders" Food Truck for the first time. The truck wasn't quite open but the man at the window was very friendly, answering many questions and even took our order and delivered it to where we were seated. We had the spicy korean bbq beef spring rolls which were marinated, had cheese, jalapeños and a korean bbq sauce with a tasty dipping sauce to cool the spice down for those that need it. They aren't overly spicy but if you tend to shy away from spice, the sauce is welcome. We also ordered the vietnamese pork burger. We absolutely loved this delicious "burger." Its a ground pork burger with sliced jalapeños, scallions, cucumber, pickled carrots, and onions and cilantro. The sauce that is on it is mayonnaise based and very good. We can't wait to try the restaurant out next. Go with complete confidence. read more

On the way to Philly, we wanted a place to stop for food and gas and we had a little bit of Asian taste so we looked at Yelp and found this place. We were not disappointed. Sonny's is not a place with big frills but awesome food and service the restaurant is quite Spartan in its decor, tables spaced wide apart, a welcome post-pandemic practice, and it is quite airy. Plenty of outside seating under umbrellas. Rest rooms are immaculately clean. As well as the rest of the place. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The chicken teriyaki grinder is to die for. Lots of meat, carrots, onions, cucumber, and teriyaki sauce in a grinder roll. Delicious! We also ordered their pork dumplings and they were outstanding. Last was their Vietnamese Spring Rolls, made with chicken, rice noodles and veggies. Awesome. Impressive place just a minute from I-84. read more

If you haven't been here, go. Now. This place is amazing. Food is spectacular, very welcoming staff, nice clean environment with plenty of indoor seating. Been wanting to try this place for a few weeks since I saw it. Did it disappoint at all. Will be back again!! Try the BBQ Korean Steak grinder, slight kick to it with the jalapeños. Great place!! read more

Had to check it out and see what all the hype was about. I had high hopes going in, and wasn't disappointed. The place was very clean and the staff were friendly. But the best part was the food. Unique options you won't find anywhere else. I chose the shrimp poppers special egg rolls, which were beyond amazing, and the chicken teriyaki grinder which was just as good with loads of tasty chicken and crunchy vegetables. I can't wait to go back and try everything on their menu. Highly recommend! read more

When I saw this restaurant on Yelp. I told my husband it looked like a place that's on the food shows we often watch on TELEVISION. The food looked like street eats! We walk in, my husband asks what do you sell a lot of, they said "Korean BBQ STEAK & CHEESE GRINDER" and the Fried Rice. He was sold on the grinder and I was sold on the fried rice with steak. And of course I had to add the Pork Dumplings. The person taking our order was very helpful and answered all questions professionally and promptly. The lighting was dim, big dining area, seating looking out the window. Lastly, FOOD WAS AMAZING. I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE 100% and I will be back to try other things on the menu! read more

I got a portobello sandwich this weekend to go at the garlic festival. It was amazing. The sandwich and all the ingredients were very fresh. A tasty healthy treat when most other foods at the fair were fried, I'm glad I found Sonny's. Whenever I see them at a local fair I will definitely be getting another sandwich. Definitely worth a try if you see them! Also the avocado garlic sauce they made for the garlic festival was great :) read more

The food here is amazing. I even custom made a kid sandwich for me and it's right down here in Southbury now I don't have to chase around the truck!!! read more

Sonny is Vietnamese and a trained hibachi chef. As a result, he makes fantastically delicious Asian style grinders--or more accurately, banh mi for those familiar with Vietnamese food. All of them feature the standard pickled vegetables (carrots and cucumbers), but they do seem to be missing the daikon radishes. Also missing is the pâté, but most palettes may not notice that much. Nonetheless, my steak banh mi was excellent and I hardly noticed that anything was amiss. The steak was perfectly cooked and flavorful, melding well with the mayo and a bit of heat from the jalapeño. The baguette was fresh and the crust had a great crunch. Don't skip this truck if you ever come across it. read more

Love their food! Everything is so fresh and delicious. Sonny and his staff are so awesome, they adjusted my order to fit my dietary needs and it was fabulous. I always look forward to seeing them at the breweries. read more
