Went here the other day with Jon, totally agree. The Bridal Veil roll and Crunchy Spicy Tuna roll are awesome.

Columbia, MD was one of the nation's first "planned communities" and has gained a sometimes well-deserved reputation for white-bread blandness. The town center's core is the ever-expanding "Mall at Columbia", and an artificial lake bordered by a cluster of competent if uninspiring restaurants. The jewel amongst the dross here is Sushi Sono (10215 Wincopin Circle, Columbia, MD - (410) 997-6131).

The fish is always brilliantly fresh here. This is a busy restaurant, so their turnover on ingredients is fast. This means great sushi. Even "mundane" offerings like sake (brined salmon), and maguro (tuna) frequently achieve subtle greatness. The rice is usually spot-on, and the fish flavors "pop". As the centerpiece of a meal, try a Dragon roll (tempura shrimp and rice wraped in ricepaper, served with head and tail, and garnished with lobster-tail "scales"), or a Bridal Veil Roll (slightly spicy lobster salad rolled with rice, topped with slices of raw tuna, and wrapped in thin ricepaper - the red tuna is the blushing bride beneath the translucent ricepaper veil).
