We had fried Gyoza to start - very good. And then ordered off the special rolls menu and got a Double Decker, Sunshine, and Caterpillar rolls. WOW! Of course, we dug in instantly and I didn't remember to get a photo until we started to slow down. Each one was unique in that the Double Decker had a sauce on it that was slightly sweet but not overwhelming, Sunshine was rolled in caviar so it had that pop and the Caterpillar was crunchy. They were exceptional. 2 Sapporo in chilled mugs. Great food.

I have a daughter who is not a sushi lover, so she always orders the chicken teriyaki which comes with rice and vegetables. It looks amazing and she is always happy with it.

We can find our picture on the wall as well!

I also got an Uni to finish my meal (love Uni). Also learned from the chef that here in the US there are two main types of sea urchin - coming from California and from Maine. Uni from California is sweeter, and the ones from Maine were earthier. The uni which were served were from Maine, and they were very good. Nice, prompt, friendly service. Definitely recommended.

I didn't really look at the whole menu but it looked like the had a lot of options. I went straight to the lunch special sushi and got 3 rolls for $15. I got the salmon avocado, tuna cucumber and shrimp tempura. It also came with a miso soup which was good. The sushi tasted fresh. I also got the crab Rangoon which was also good as well. Good ratio of cream cheese and crab meat. I would definitely come back for a quick lunch.

He was attentive offering suggestions and when I mentioned it was my moms bday, he brought her out a tiramisù with a candle and we sang to her. No prompting, just genuine kindness. He suggested a sushi roll that was quite good when my mom explained she likes basic rolls and I was trying to spice it up. He brought us a crunch roll, with crab and shrimp tempura. It was delicious. We both had terryaki; my mom had the chicken and I had the steak. They were both amazing. The rice was flavorful and the proteins were delicious, the veggies nice and fresh. The miso soup honestly stole the show as it was literally perfect tasting. Not too watery, very strong and misoie. We will definitely be back when we're in the area

Several of us arrived early (and we had added a person between the reservation to the dinner time) but the restaurant was able to accommodate us with no issues and we were seated immediately! Plenty of street parking too around that time nearby. The restaurant was not crowded at that time, and overall quiet enough to encourage normal volume conversation. The waitress who served us was extremely great, very accommodating, giving us recs, and doing a great job keeping all our information organized. We ordered drinks, some appetizers, and several rounds of food. The starters came out a bit slow, but soon when all our entrees were out it was a ton of food! We also asked the waitress if she could just choose rolls for us with a given budget, and she did a great job! Everything tasted great. Overall great service and good food! I particularly loved the chicken katsu (huge portion!) and the sashimi. Highly recommend!

1 star I had a really disappointing experience at Sono Bana…read moreSushi. After being seated, it took 25 minutes just to get a menu. We then waited over an hour, and our food still hadn't even been started. The kitchen seemed to be prioritizing only takeout and pickup orders, while dine-in guests were left waiting with no updates. To be fair, our server was kind and kept apologizing, but nothing actually got resolved -- just repeated apologies while we sat there hungry. Eventually, we decided to leave. I had heard good things about this place, but based on this experience, I can't recommend it for anyone planning to dine in.

The food was excellent and hit the spot after all the food the previous day. (Satisfying different taste buds). Lot of orders around the table, with drinks. They managed it really well.

The ramen was fantastic, but honestly, the service was even better. Everything came out super quickly, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp tempura ramen and it was SO good. The shrimp tempura stayed crispy, the broth was flavorful, and the portion was generous. We also got the edamame, which tasted really fresh with the perfect crisp bite to it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to fully commit to the spicy garlic sauce, so I asked for it on the side... and immediately fell in love with it. We ended up dipping EVERYTHING in it, including the dumplings, which were absolutely delicious. My friend ordered a boba tea without the boba and really enjoyed it. They also got a sushi roll, and I tried some of the California roll myself. Sometimes all you want is a nice, fresh piece of sushi, and this definitely delivered. Also, points for serving the Diet Coke in a bottle. Nothing is worse than an inconsistent fountain! If we're ever back in the New Haven/Hamden area, this will absolutely be our go-to ramen spot. We'll definitely be back!
