Sono
Sono recently opened in the hudson building on 319 Fayetteville Str. Sono is owned by the same group that owns Mura in North Hills. I had lunch there a couple times last week, and I’m glad we’ve got a new offering downtown that has rolls and great sushi/sashimi.
Most of the sushi part of the menu is carried over from Mura with a few notable additions. I got the Crunchy Diablo roll both visits. It has spicy crab salad, avocado and jalepeno on the inside and it is quick fried for a crunchy covering, very tasty and spicy. They’ve also carried the Punk Rock Roll over, crunchy with spicy tuna on top.
On both visits I had a selection of their sashimi. I am thoroughly pleased with the freshness of their fish. They also have 30-40 types of sushi/sashimi on their menu. I’m assuming they’ll only serve what’s fresh but i was able to get what i wanted on both trips.
As I said, I was there for lunch on both occasions. The design of the place is stylish and I believe it will make itself a destination for the dinner crowd. I’ll certainly get dinner there shortly.

Parking:
On street parking is your closest bet, but several decks are within a couple blocks. Alexander Square and the Progress Energy decks are close by.
