I've actually been to Sonoya at least a dozen times since it opened. My father in law loves this place as he knows the owner Mike from when he used to frequent Kenzo in North York. The noodles are made fresh and they have that satisfying chewiness that I look for.
Our go-to ramen selection is usually the Sapporo miso ramen, which comes with roasted vegetables (bok choy, broccoli, corn, bean sprouts) which lends a tasty smokiness to the broth. This time I found the broth a tad salty but I haven't always found this to be so. Also the serving size is pretty generous and if we're not starving, hubby and I can usually share the Sapporo ramen and leave satiated.
They usually have only 1-2 servers, which sometimes seems too few when they are busy. Prices are quite reasonable ($9-$13) for what you're getting. It for now remains one of the two ramen places I will continue to frequent most in Markham. 3.25 stars.
