Sushi Sonagi Gardena Reviews from The Last Year
My wife surprised me and friends by getting 8 of us seated
My wife surprised me and friends by getting 8 of us seated at Sonagi. She went a month before with some friends and kept raving about the chefs style of seasonal fish vs the popular dishes. It was an intimate dinner with close friends or a large party at Top Golf. I have to say it was amazing food, conversation with Chef Daniel and his staff. Loved every minute of the night and the food was just out of this world.
The omakase is magical: the flavors, textures and
The omakase is magical: the flavors, textures and presentation were harmonious and immaculate. Service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. The chef owner and his wife complete this sublime experience. Just go.
Amazing meal.
I've been to Japan more than 10 times and rank this higher than several high end sushi places I have had there. I feel blessed that Daniel Son decided to open up here in the South Bay. I hope his prices still remain relatively affordable and that he still remains somewhat possible to book. I dined here in January and was awed by every dish. I am looking forward to dine again at the end of this month. After the recent Michelin recognition, I'm worried that I won't be able to book it anymore due to it being too popular and too few available seats. Service is amazing and personal. Daniel's wife, Janet, even sent us an email of personal recommendations for restaurants in Japan for a trip in February. I am telling all our friends to go while it is still possible to make a reservation. If he gets a Michelin star later this year, it is going to be more difficult to get a booking.
Bad attitude! Even they have seats available they request
Bad attitude! Even they have seats available they request reservations day in advance.
Every single bite was delicious.
Great service with well thought sequences of dishes. Interior was clean and woody. Reminds me of traditional sushi restaurant in Japan. Dishes and glassware were cute and were hand picked by chef's wife. Must try!

[Review #802; 1 of 2] 2024-001 I wanted my 1st review of the year to be special & need some time to draft this lengthy one of Sushi Sonagi. Korean-American Chef Daniel Son takes over Kanpachi's spot this past spring, serving up an inspired Japanese-Korean omakase sushi bar style. I was absolutely thrilled to discover Sushi Sonagi making way to the South Bay, his hometown in Gardena!! I did some research, & Chef Son has impressive mentorships that includes: Kura Fine Japanese Cuisine (with his father, Sonny Son), Copenhagen's Noma, San Mateo's Yoshizumi, Tokyo's Nihonryori RyuGin. Food Order: 18 COURSE OMAKASE: CHAWANMUSHI (ikura shoyuzuke, SB uni, gamtae), ANKIMO TART (astrea kaluga caviar), MASABA SANDO (mackerel sandwich inspired by Gion Rohan), BURI (wild yellowtail), ONAGADAI (ruby snapper), SHIMA AJI (striped jack), SHIRO EBI (baby white shrimp), KINMEDAI (golden eye snapper), SAWARA (king mackerel), SUMAGATSUO (striped skipjack tuna), CARABINEROS (scarlet shrimp), GANJANG GEJANG MAKI (soy cured crab roll), UNI (sea urchin), ANAGO (sea eel), DOLSOT SEKOGANI (female snow crab), DUNGENESS CRAB SOUP (shingiku, yuzu), MISO BUTTER ATSUYAKI TAMAGO (miso butter omelet), YUZU PUDDING (mandarin ice) Servers: Chef Daniel Son & Janet (his wife) Service: Attentive, friendly, intimate setting (8-seats only); Tock reservations may be hard to come by on a 30-day rolling calendar that opens at midnight for Fridays - Sundays: 5:30 PM or 7:45 PM. It took me 5 months before I secured a spot in 01/2024. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Menu: Omakase only; no substitutions or food allergy accommodations. The restaurant is located in a strip mall, off Artesia Blvd. & Normandie Ave., with plenty of parking. This was my food sibling's Christmas present, though it took awhile to secure a reservation. Arriving early, we could see Chef Son inside but the door was locked. Another diner informed me that they will open right on the dot. Door unlocks promptly at 7:45 PM, we're ushered in, coats stored in bins on the bench behind our seat, & drink orders are taken within minutes. Though half of the diners are repeats, Chef Son introduces himself & 1st course: Chawanmushi, an egg custard dish topped with ikura shoyuzuke (marinated salmon roe), SB uni (Santa Barbara uni is highly sought after; considered better than Hokkaido uni that even Japan imports from SB), gamtae (seaweed) that's beautifully presented in a tea cup, noting the New Year. Its consistency is similar to Chinese steamed eggs (sweet), but this is more savory with an ocean freshness from the roe, uni, & seaweed. His Korean-influenced omakase menu is a series of nigiri & prepared dishes, paying homage to traditional Japanese techniques while representing L.A. & other cultural influences, both breaking yet honoring traditions & techniques. One of his techniques is dry-aging fish (my first via 07/2021 Rustic Canyon x The Joint partnership), a preservation method that pulls water from flesh in a dry, temperature-controlled environment, improving taste & texture for a more developed & richer flavor, while extending shelf life. Cleaner & sweeter taste, with a more melt-in-your-mouth buttery texture. Mmm... Mmm... Mmm!! Most of our menu was sourced from Japan along with Torrance farmer's market local produce. Chatting with Chef Son, all your senses are aroused from the love & passion for his craft. I love this intimate setting where I can watch up close & personal as this sushi master lovingly prepare each course (I posted several videos). Several nigiris were carefully painted with sauce. To maintain the cool temp of the Shiro Ebi, he used kkaennip (Korean sesame leaf) to shape the nigiri. If dolsot (Korean stone bowl) is on the menu... the wondrous smells of crunchy rice deliciousness wafting in the dining space stirs your gut in anticipation; I'm still heady remembering it as I write this review. And when he turned on the burner to toast the tamago (rolled omelette)... the charred brought up notes of baking. Even something as simple as cooking rice, there's so much trial & error from the types of rice, types of water, & cooking methods. Did you know there's a difference in color for male (lighter) & female (darker) uni, & that males are sweeter & have a smoother texture where as females are saltier & firmer? If you're a sushi aficionado, Sushi Sonagi is an absolute must!! Part 2 to follow shortly, delving on each course. Oishii-desu!!!
We went to Sushi Sonagi for omaakase last night after I
We went to Sushi Sonagi for omaakase last night after I read about it on Eater LA earlier this year, and am SO glad we did. Chef Daniel Son - a second-generation sushi chef who poured his heart into this cozy, intimate space - was great. He and diners (other than the clearly-instagram-driven couple next to us) had fantastic conversations about the ingredients, technique, etc - an enlightening insight into the experience of "a good meal". The fishes were dry-aged just perfectly - not fishy (kohada/gizzard shad maybe a tiny bit but much less than expected/usual), the ingredients chosen very thoughtfully and not just lavishly, the rice and vinegars paired perfectly, and the delicate knife work was just . Would recommend! As a testament to how good it was, there were separate course I didn't even take pictures of - just ate them as soon as the chef plated them!
So amazing.
Every dish was delicious. Fairly uni heavy so if you're a fan of uni this is a dream. Uni is not my favorite but for some reason I decided to eat all of it this time and I was pleasantly surprised. Fresh and briny, no off flavors. This is quality uni. Plentiful courses of fish with some unique surprises(I'll let you discover on your own) but my favorite by far was the last savory course - stone pot crab fried rice. It was packed with so much shrimp and crab flavor. It was the perfect finisher. The bits of crispy rice were so delicious, comforting, and well seasoned. I could have eaten that dish alone and have been completely satisfied. I loved Chef Daniel's style of sushi and his iteration of omakase. The place is small and intimate with only 8 seats max, very reminiscent of other famous LA sushi restaurants but what sets this apart is how unpretentious it feels from other fine dining establishments. Chef Daniel and his wife make you feel so comfortable and at ease that it enhances the dining experience even more. Finally, I love how local this restaurant is to me. It feels so good not to have to fight the ugly west LA traffic and deal with parking just to enjoy some quality sushi. I love supporting local and this is as local as it gets. Everyone in the seating tonight was a south bay local! I can't wait to return again.
One of the best that we've had.
Great service, intimate and of course the flavors, quality and unique creations were amazing. Thank you Janet and Daniel. See you NYE
One of a kind experience.
The chefs true love of sushi comes through. I can't believe that we have something so nice in the southbay. Each course is carefully chosen and presented beautifully!
Very private, exquisite experience.
Awesome food and service! Only draw back is hard to get a reservation.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
