Review
About
Sonobana is the traditional Japanese restaurant that West Nashville needed — properly made sushi, cooked dishes executed with care, and a menu format that doesn't require a special occasion or an omakase reservation. The fish quality is solid. The rice is seasoned correctly. The cooked dishes — teriyaki, tempura, udon — are handled with the same attention as the sushi program.
The room is calm and straightforward. The service is knowledgeable. This is a neighborhood Japanese restaurant operating at the standard the cuisine deserves, which is more than can be said for most of the city's traditional Japanese options.
