We heard that Sono Kitchen has the best popcorn chicken, really close to the ones in Taiwan. We were a bit skeptical, so of course, we had to try it ourselves. Sono is in Uptown Sedona, and you can't miss it, the sign is huge! Parking can be a little tricky around there, but they do have free parking lots, which is nice. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Besides the popcorn chicken, their menu has bento boxes, rice and noodles, drinks, and boba. We got the popcorn chicken, Jasmine Green Tea, and Dragon Eyes. The popcorn chicken was amazing, really lived up to the hype. The drinks were okay, and the boba was a little too chewy for us. Turns out they also have locations in Flagstaff and Gilbert, so since we're heading north, we might stop by the Flagstaff one too. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving some good Taiwanese-style popcorn chicken! read more

The first time I ever came here was probably in the spring of 2023. My sister and I were house hunting and she made a special trip to Sedona. While we were walking around Uptown, we stopped in here and I have gone back a few more times since. My understanding is that this is the original Sono Kitchen & Boba. I like the variety of drinks and snacks they offer. I don't remember if they offer the super size drinks here like they do at the Gilbert location, but this one is definitely smaller on the inside. They do have a few tables and chairs outside when the weather is nice. Prices are average for a boba spot. Employees are quick and friendly as well. They sell cute merch in the store but I wish it had more seats to dine inside. Other than that, Sono Sedona earns a solid 4 stars from me! read more

First time to sono kitchen in Boba while visiting Sedona a few months back. My family and girlfriend really enjoyed the ambience since there was seating outside for us to enjoy their Boba. The service was good, and so was there Boba. read more

Sono Kitchen & Boba - inside - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

I love that there's even bubble tea in Sedona now with the addition of Sono to the area. I couldn't resist the call of the boba so we stopped in and got food and drinks to dine in. The interior has a few small tables to sit at with more seating outside on the patio. You can either order at the touch screen or with the cashier next to the screen. You can customize your sweetness level and sub out toppings with no issues. I got the prickly pear mojito and the basil ginger chicken bowl. Both were made fairly quickly which was perfect since we were all thirsty and hungry! The bubble tea was pretty good. It had a good balance of sweet and tart flavors and the boba had that QQ/chewy quality to it. I also enjoyed the basil chicken bowl which had a good portion of meat/veg to rice. Prices are higher than what I'd normally pay for boba but that's to be expected for the area. Details: - Black plastic packaging and flatware - Chopsticks available - Combo specials - Boba is included in your drink unless otherwise specified, substitutions allowed read more

Found street parking- first 15 min is free then we paid $2 for an hour We ordered the pop n bo for $19.50 which is their popcorn chicken plus one drink ($1 extra for boba). I ordered the Okinawa milk tea (reg sugar with less ice). Flavor was good and boba was soft and chewy. The popcorn chicken had big chunks of chicken and great flavor. 10/10 for both We also got the golden orange splash (no sugar with popping strawberry boba. This one I didn't like but my partner said he liked it (10/10). Drink was $8.70 Then the shrimp wontons - 10 pieces for $12. Looked like the wrapped a shrimp in a wonton wrapper but pretty good! Everything was delicious but price was pretty expensive so docking a star. read more

We stopped by for a drink to cool off as it was over 100. We got the Dragon Eyes drink and substituted for strawberry popping boba. The drink was refreshing but a little expensive, at ~$9. The interior was cozy with a handful of tables to sit. You can place your order via a kiosk. There was parking behind the strip of stores. Street parking can be a miss on weekends. read more

Sono Kitchen & Boba - Dragon Eyes; Follow me @RimyEats on Instagram - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sedona, Arizona

Very okay quick lunch spot. Fast foody. Portions are hearty, prices are high for what you get, but it's Sedona. We shared a chicken teriyaki bento box. Decent but pretty bland chicken, cold egg roll, good sticky rice minus the layer of seaweed on top and steamed broccoli. Also split an order of potstickers. Well cooked but just out of a bag. Didn't have a smoothie because they contain boba. Just weird to combine the two. We just had a couple fountain drinks. $48 for lunch that was a shared entree and side of potstickers and we had to pick up food at counter read more

Ok drinks. Super expensive for what it is. They offer black tea, green tea, smoothies, and food. We ordered the dragonfruit and mango jasmine green tea and the peach pineapple smoothie. We ordered one of them with boba. The Jasmine green tea was so strong and potent. The peach smoothie was so sweet even though I said no sweetness. We only drank half of each drink then tossed it. It's just not good for the price you pay which is $10 each. It doesn't excite me enough to come back and try other drinks or food when there's so many options in this area. read more

We visited twice while in Sedona. Perhaps the only location for boba tea in the city. Super friendly staff! Second time was ordering Uber Eats. The fried chicken, takoyaki and. Basil chicken was delicious! The gyoza was a bit bland so would skip that. read more

I really enjoyed the food here. I wish there was one of these close to where I live. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the drinks took painfully long and came out well after the food. Otherwise it was great. read more

Amazing mango snowwhite smoothie. We got one, and then everybody in our group wanted one and got more. Boba I am not fan of and these Boba's were out of can and hard to chew. But frozen mango drink was yum! Pricey drink for all frozen and boxed things, each was ~$10 plus taxes plus tips ‍service was decent, some smiles can surely help. It's a busy place and servers get tired, I understand, won't judge. They catered to all with respect. Ambiance was fine, more of take and go food. Better fast food than shops near by. Location wise may vary but sedona location had a menu of Taiwanese and Japanese-inspired street food, rice bowls, noodles, and bubble tea. Do try once read more

I was pretty surprised to find a Taiwanese spot in Sedona, but happy I did! My group was feeling snack-ish and found this place. The popcorn chicken is legit and the boba did not miss. We're Asian and from LA so we're picky about these things lol I will say pricing is a little on the high side, but I think that is the normal pricing in Sedona. Worth it if you're in the area, hungry, and want some quick good grub! read more

Tried Sono kitchen & boba while stopping in Sedona. The chicken was SO good, I was not expecting it to be that good. It was very juicy, well seasoned, and came with a good sauce. It had a little kick to it, and I loved the fried basil. The boba was good, I really liked the sea salt foam. It is a fairly small space, with plenty of outdoor seats. The servers were sweet, it did take a while for things to come out, but they were pretty busy. Overall, very happy we stopped to try this place out! read more

This cute boba joint is (according to Yelp) the only location in Sedona and about a two minute walk from our Airbnb. We stopped by after dinner and were treated to hefty cups of yummy drinks in cups with adorable cat designs. Who could not love? I got the dragonfruit jasmine tea with boba and even at 50% sugar it was plenty sweet and packed full of tasty bubbles. It still tasted good the next day after refrigeration- maybe even better! Note that the prices are a little high ($7.5 without tax) but in this area that's par for the course. The sizing is generous and you'll leave satisfied, especially in the heat. read more

Quite possibly the worst food and worst boba I have ever had. The person taking the order had such a terrible attitude as well. Ginger chicken didn't even taste like actual chicken. It was super rubbery and there was a random single something that may have been a mushroom or an old piece of chicken or something. The egg roll had just mush inside of it. The macron had a tart flavor followed by gritty weird texture. I ordered a milk tea with custard without boba and there were maybe 2 or 3 tiny pieces of custard with a snot texture and some boba that tasted like old rice in the middle and a weird taste of cinnamon or something. read more

We stopped here when visiting Sedona and enjoyed a quick snack of Taiwanese popcorn chicken and some boba drinks. The service was friendly and overall fairly prompt in the middle of the afternoon. It's right off a busy touristy area so there's a good bit of food traffic in front of the place. The chicken was flavorful and came out at a nice hot temperature just out of the fryer. The drinks were good for this area in a touristy spot of town and without much competition. If you're thirsty and want a refreshing boba drink plus some pretty good popcorn chicken, check them out! ----TL;DR---- Pros: location is really near where the hustle and bustle of Sedona sits. Friendly service. Prices were on par with other boba places Cons: chicken took a little while to get our order but that also means it's made to order Bottom Line: definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and want some boba and popcorn chicken. read more

I came into this location during my time in Sedona for a quick snack and Bobba with the Things and a companion. I came in and ordered at the kiosk, and apparently, the day I came in, it was the first day the kiosk was in place. The ordering process through the kiosk was easy. What I got: Milk Tea (Boba) Boba tea is a refreshing beverage phenomenon full of sweetness and chewiness that comes in an endless variety of flavors and styles. This milk tea was a delicious combination of black tea, creamer, and chewy tapioca pearls. The sweetness and the chewiness of the boba perfectly complemented the earthy flavor of the milk tea, making it a great option for those seeking something simple. This drink also had undertones of cardamom and cinnamon and was both smooth and sweet. Salt and Pepper Chicken Popcorn chicken Salt & Pepper chicken is a popular Cantonese dish. Dark meat has higher fat content than breast meat, so it is strongly preferred for this dish. These Chinese salt and pepper chicken was crispy and crunchy, but not spicy. The flavors were not as explosive as expected. The ginger could be tasted through the dish as was the garlic. The serving side for the "snack" portion was generous. I personally prefer white meat for chicken dishes as it's leaner than dark meat, so for those who prefer lean meat, this dish may not be for you. Total for chicken and two Bobba $33.01 #supportlocal read more

Boba after a nice hike... sign me up !!! Sono was so yummy and the location is great! For drinks, I got the Tiger Boba Milk Tea and the Prickley Pear Mojito Boba Tea. Both were good! The brown sugar one was pretty sweet but that's what I expected when I ordered it. They also offered alternative milks which was great :) We also ordered A TON of delicious food but sadly forgot to snap a photo. You really can't go wrong!! The only reason it's 4 and not 5 stars is because it was pretty pricey but it was all so delish. read more

Wow a great find! A cute Asian shop ("Taiwanese", but also has some Japanese influence as well) I can't rave about the Taiwanese popcorn chicken more! Highly recommend! Crispy & moist with great salt pepper seasoning. Some of the best we've had outside of Taiwan & MD/VA area. We also got the prickly pear mojito boba. The prickly pear flavor was sweet and refreshing. Not much of the jasmine tea flavor, and I could have used twice as much boba than was given. My only gripe is the prices of everything. Boba is $8.70, the popcorn chicken is $15 (but a decent serving size). Basically double what it costs at home in MD. But you can get the "pop n bo" combo (popcorn chicken + 1 boba) for $20.50 read more

It is a cute small place in the center of uptown Sedona. I tried the Tiger Tea, which is brown sugar milk tea with boba. It tastes great, just like the authentic milk tea you can get from the major chains. It costs $8.95 before tax and tips. Considering that all foods sold in Sedona are charged a "tourist premium", this price is very reasonable. read more

Fantastic boba has made it to Sedona! I have long avoided Asian food in Sedona--it's typically mediocre at best--but Sono Kitchen & Boba was a pleasant surprise that exceeded my expectations. Sono uses real matcha powder, rather than a syrup, and lets the tea shine in the classic milk tea! The boba is also perfectly chewy. If you want a snack, I highly recommend ordering the boba and popcorn chicken combo. The chicken is flavorful and comes in a pretty large, shareable serving! Sono also has the cuuutest trinkets for sale within the store, from a cat mug to keychains, and their logo is just as adorable. The staff is pretty friendly, as well, so we had a pleasant experience overall. Hope more legit Asian spots (or any authentic food from other cultures) pop up in Sedona in the future! read more

Seeing an Asian snack and boba place in the middle of Sedona, I did not have high hopes initially. But I was pleasantly surprised with how good the Taiwanese fried chicken was! It really did take authentic like the street food I would get in Chinatown. The boba was surprisingly delusion too, did not taste super syrup-y and had real fruit! We has a lovely table outside that was shaded and didn't wait too long. We will be back! read more

Its a great fresh looking shop, and I think it has a lot of potential but it has those touristy prices and paying $8.50 for boba is steep. I ordered the prickly pear mojito boba (Sedona seems to advertise lots of items with prickly pear, so when in Sedona). It does not contain any milk so I was confused by it being listed there, but you can see from my photo it is fully tea and no milk of any kind. I was not a fan of the flavor, it was a refreshing drink I can admit to that with a tart bite to it. The boba (jelly boba) if flavored I couldn't tell you what it was, and I cant remember seeing it anywhere on the menu or being told by the staff, perhaps it was also prickly pear? Service was super friendly and quick, given we stopped here solely for drinks. They looked like they offered some good food too but again on the pricey side. read more

Sono Kitchen & Boba: We Used to Be in Love, But Now We're on a Break We've been ordering from Sono Kitchen & Boba for a while now--probably once a month--and we always liked it. The chicken teriyaki bowl was a solid go-to, and the boba drinks have always been great. But yesterday... something went very, very wrong. The chicken teriyaki we got was not the chicken teriyaki we signed up for. It looked like it had been boiled in regret--pale, rubbery, and full of gristly bits that I just couldn't unsee. Each bite had me questioning my life choices. By the time I gave up on it, I was still hungry, but mostly just deeply disappointed. Now, to be fair, this place used to be great, and I hope this was just a one-time kitchen meltdown. The boba is still solid, so that's a win. But if you're planning to get the chicken teriyaki bowl, I'd say proceed with caution. I really hope they get back to their old quality, because I don't want to break up with Sono Kitchen... but for now, we're definitely on a break. read more

My friends and I came here after hiking and it definitely hit the spot. We ordered a bunch of stuff! We got got our own bentos and other appetizers for our meal. I got the unagi bento! It came with two large piece of unagi, rice, ocean salad, egg roll and a macaron. The unagi was cooked to perfection and it went well with the rice and ocean salad. The egg roll was nice and crispy, however, I wish it had meat in it. The macaron was light and soft. All the appetizers were freshly made! We ordered the takoyaki, gyoza, their signature salt and pepper chicken, and shrimp won ton. We had a lot of left overs. They gave us lids to pack everything up. The service was great! Everything came out so quick and the staff was super friendly. The ambience was welcoming as well! Super Asian like and they had a few seats inside and tables with umbrellas outside, which is where we sat. They had all different types of bentos, appetizers, desserts and boba too! I definitely would be back here again if I am in the area. read more
