Angelo V.

I ordered the Tiger Power drink and it was amazing. Super refreshing, great flavor, and way better than I expected. Definitely a standout on the menu and something I'd come back for. Highly recommend trying it.

Salt and Pepper Chicken Don
Alexandra L.

On a beautiful Saturday, came to the mall specifically to have lunch at Sono. What's crazy is the line next door at Chipotle is crazy busy, and this hidden gem, it was busy enough but not packed. Although, I'm kinda happy about that - no long line! We ordered the same thing we got our first visit, but I seriously need to try more of their stuff. Next time I plan on getting the Japanese Shrimp or the salt and pepper popcorn tofu or takoyaki!

Sono House Noodles with Teriyaki Chicken
Sunny S.

We got Pop n Bo, Basil Ginger Chicken Don, Sono House Noodles, Prickly Pear Mojito, and Tiger Power Snow White. Impressed! The workers jumped into action as soon as we ordered and cooked rapidly. It was all cooked to order, well seasoned, and cooked well. The chicken in every dish was distinct and delicious. Basil Ginger Chicken tasted exactly like it. The Teriyaki Chicken that comes with the Sono House Noodles was perfectly sauced and not too sweet. The side dishes that come with the entrees -- pickled cucumbers, seaweed salad, macaroni salad, sweet steamed egg bite -- were all tasty! The Popcorn Chicken (from the Pop n Bo combo) was perfectly fried and not greasy. The boba drinks weren't the best we've ever had but they were still very good and complimented our meals. The place is bright, cheery, and conveniently located at San Tan Village.

Popcorn chicken with the dipping sauce
Vernee D.

Absolutely delicious! I came in for my lunch and ended up staying the enjoy the ambience. There is a self-ordering kiosk at the front. The menu was pretty straightforward so I ordered their Pop N Bo combo! This is an order of popcorn chicken and a medium boba drink. The interior is clean and cute! There is plenty seating inside and out! They brought my order fresh to me and to my table. The popcorn chicken was piping hot and I loved that! It was crispy and satisfying and the boba was refreshing. I really enjoyed my visit!

Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken
Lillian F.

Came here for lunch with my partner - I ordered the sono boba milk tea (with regular boba) and the basil chicken don (which came with macaroni salad, seaweed salad, and cucumber salad) and he ordered the pop n bo (popcorn chicken and a mango snow white (with peach popping boba) and everything was great--the drinks were not too sweet, and the food was not too salty. Service was a little slow, but the piping hot food made up for it. The popcorn chicken was definitely the star of the show - light but crisp coating, with lots of white pepper. The chicken pieces were also large and hearty. Probably the best Taiwanese popcorn chicken in the valley (that I've had). The only critique I have is that the boba seemed to be a little overcooked - there was a nice chew but not quite as Q as I personally enjoy. We'll definitely be back though!

Sono Noodle House
Lucy L.

Stopped here for lunch and arrived around 11:40am. The owner, Jerry, is super friendly. He made sure to accommodate my friend's dairy allergy for her drink and assured the food was safe to eat. I've been here several times already so I knew what to expect. Eating popcorn chicken fresh is the best. I burnt my tongue a few times but was worth it. I also got the tiramisu milk tea with coffee jelly and I think I've found my new favorite. I look forward to having it again soon!

Udon with shrimp and chicken
Krista P.

I had the shrimp and chicken udon. The broth had this unique smoky flavor and I can honestly say it was one of the most wonderfully flavored broths I have had from asian soups. So delicious. I ask had the prickly pear mojito boba tea, but it was a bit too sweet for me. It tasted quite artificially sweetened. Not my style, but my boyfriend's mango one was excellent! This was my second time here and I would go back again.

Thai tea
Christa M.

I stopped by last week and the worker was very friendly and welcoming! I ordered the "super size" Thai tea with boba and paid about $11 with tip. The inside was clean and cool. The yellow makes it very cheerful and fun. The drink was refreshing and yummy.

I was super excited for a new boba place in Gilbert and especially one with a SUPER size boba option, but the boba drinks are my least favorite thing about this place. I've tried several drinks and haven't found one that I love yet: - Tiramisu was just ok. It didn't have any flavors that stood out. - Thai Milk Tea was super underwhelming and didn't taste like the Thai Tea at other places. - Taro Yama - My husband really enjoys this drink, but this was my least favorite one I tried here. - Sea Salt Mango - The only drink I've tried so far that I somewhat enjoy, but not enough to get a SUPER size version of. I do however enjoy most of the food here! The XLB (soup dumplings) was pleasantly good. Their popcorn chicken is well portioned and delicious and comes with a very delicious sauce. I also love being able to order off a kiosk. The service and staff are super nice! They are so accommodating and welcoming. I'll definitely be back for the XLB and to try more drinks and hopefully find one I love.

Beef noodle soup with no beef, wtf?
Harvey L.

Like another reviewer said here, when ordering the beef noodle soup to go, they always forget about the beef! Who pays $18 for a bowl of soup with no protein? Still love the popcorn chicken, but I think I will not order to noodle soup anymore from here. Called the owner and he apologized and gave me credit for the food that was missing. Hope this problem is resolved in the future.

I've been here twice now, and I'm officially hooked. This place is adorable, clean, and organized, with a cozy and welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in. It's tucked in a big shopping center, and I love that Barnes & Noble (two stories!) is right next door--perfect for a little treat + book combo outing. Drinks & Food The staff is amazing--super friendly, upbeat, and actually knowledgeable, especially when it comes to food allergies. I have a dairy allergy, and they knew exactly what drinks I could safely order, and even helped me with alternative options. * My favorite: Matcha boba -- smooth, balanced, and not overloaded with ice (which I really appreciate--you're getting what you pay for!). * My daughter's favorite: Rose milk tea with boba - fragrant, floral, and so refreshing * The boba itself is perfect--soft, chewy, and never overcooked. They also offer something called the Pop N Bo--a combo that comes with boba + crispy fried chicken for just $16, and the chicken is dairy-free! Also tried their Gyoza, and let me just say: top-tier deliciousness. Cute Extras They sell the cutest things! * Adorable custom cups * Keychains, collectibles, and mini merch * Grab-and-go snacks and drinks in the refrigerated case by the register * Don't forget to ask for a punch card so you can earn points toward free drinks! Clean & Quirky Bathroom Even their bathroom is a vibe--super clean and decorated with cute cat art on the walls. Love the attention to detail here. Final thoughts: Sono Boba is now one of my go-to spots for a treat with my kids or a solo pick-me-up. Great drinks, great food, allergy-friendly, adorable atmosphere, and just overall good energy. Can't wait to go back and try more!

Sono Boba Milk Tea medium
Emma N.

I liked this place! Lots of parking and indoor/outdoor seating available. They also offer some really yummy food! Merchandise was available for purchase too. The people working were really nice and helpful. I decided to try the Sono Boba milk tea. I did 75% sweet and 50% ice. I really enjoyed it and plan on coming back soon to try the popcorn tofu!

We decided to come Check out this new spot at santan mall. I don't usually drink too much boba since they're usually a little too sweet for me. But this place you can get the drinks less sweetened. Which is a plus ! I got the lychee and mint one and it was very refreshing and I got it half sweetened. We also got the Thai tea and a couple others. It was perfect. We also got the Salt and pepper chicken and it was really good ! The staff's were friendly and had a cute modern look !

I got the Triple Kill, mainly cause I was a bit tired, it has Thai tea, coffee, milk and dark chocolate. I substitute for oat milk (+$0.50) and added Brown sugar boba (don't remember the cost). I thought the pricing was average cost, and the wait time was extremely bare minimum. What caught my eye was the cool claw machine. I wish I had single $1.00 to play it. It costs $1/attempt. The place was clean and so was the restroom. In my boba picture it looks watery, but it's not after you mix the dark chocolate in the drink at the bottom of the drink. Now I usually drive home while drinking boba and have leftover to enjoy while home, but not here. The drink was so good I practically inhaled it in the parking lot! I wanted to buy another, but I didn't want to go overboard on the caffeine. The Triple Kill definitely did the trick, woke me up, I was up all night! lol I think the card benefit is really cool, giving you a 50% off on your 6th drink, and it still counts towards the 10. I'll be back to explore the other options and checkout their specials menu! FYI.. I see my receipt is on the drink, my total was $7 and some change, I just like to tip extra for people, that's why the total is $11+

What do you expect him to do, stare at the walls? :-) As we approached the counter, however, ready to order, his face remained planted in his phone & despite us starting to place our order, he was more concerned about finishing up his text (or whatever was so engrossing on his phone). I do like that they have compostable (small) straws; that they ask you not to take more than you need. We didn't take any! We have boba drinks so frequently we have multiple sets of steel straws. :-) Will we return? Not a snowball's chance in hell.
