Who we are

Founded in 1986, we proudly became the first Japanese restaurant in the Hamden area. For nearly four decades, we've been dedicated to serving the highest quality sushi and sashimi, with fresh fish sourced daily to ensure exceptional flavors. Whether you're enjoying a meal with your family in our warm, welcoming atmosphere or choosing from our diverse, family-friendly menu, we strive to make every dining experience memorable.

We also offer catering services for Yale and other local businesses, delivering exquisite Japanese cuisine to various events. For those craving our dishes from the comfort of home, we provide convenient delivery within a 3-mile radius.

At Sonobana, we’re committed to bringing authentic Japanese flavors to New Haven with friendly service, fresh ingredients, and a passion for great food.
