Sonobana

This is our favorite Japanese restaurant in Nashville and we have been coming here since they first opened 40 years ago! They have a great selection of tasty rolls including California, Tennessee, Nashville, Allison, Fran and the J.J. roll. Though our favorite thing on the menu is their choice of delicious appetizers. The beef sashimi, soft shell crab and broiled salmon appetizer are some of the appetizers we order most. Of the sushi’s the cooked shrimp, tuna, salmon, and octopus sushi are on our regular list. They also carry Sho Chiku Bai hot saki and a variety of Japanese beers including Orion the only beer left brewed in Okinawa Japan. In the evening unless you go within an hour of opening or an hour before they close prepare for a wait. The servers have always done an awesome job making you feel special while serving you at the highest level which Japanese hospitality is known for!

Wonderful food. I've eaten at Sonobana for over a decade and they never disappoint. ALWAYS RECOMMEND GOING THERE.

I've lived in Nashville almost 5 years now and even after moving 20 minutes away there is no where else I can get my sushi. It is simply the freshest in Nashville and I would rather make the drive than order sushi elsewhere. Sonobana you have spoiled me and I love it.

Expensive but worth every penny. Food was fantastic, service was excellent. We went in a party of four for a birthday dinner and wish we could get here more often.

We'll be back! We visited the grocery store. They had what I needed - and at a fair price! Friendly staff, too!

The Sushi and Tempura are awesome. However the service was not good the second time I visited here.

Quality of this place used to be much better but has stopped significantly.

I love this little place. The food and service is excellent!
