Sushi-san Chicago Reviews
As a River North local, I was looking for a quick dinner
As a River North local, I was looking for a quick dinner and craving sushi, so I stopped by Sushi San. I've been here before mostly for the fried rice, but this time decided to focus on the sushi. We started with the crispy tuna rice, which was
Great spot for amazing sushi.
I was terrible with taking photos, but added two for you all. The sushi was fresh, tasty and had perfect presentation. Our server was amazing. Enjoyable experience, we would return anytime! Otoro is a must, don't miss out!
Fantastic sushi.
High quality and super fresh. The Nirigi was full of flavor and highly recommend the tacos.
Those eggplant tempura bites? YUM.
we are still talking about those! Service was nice and attentive and everything was typical Lettuce quality we have come to enjoy.
Stopped by for happy hour.
The deals were great, but the sushi was okay. The place was really busy and the food took forever to come out. I've had much better sushi elsewhere, so not sure I would come back.

The sushi here is absolutely delicious! The service is super friendly and the place has a cozy, welcoming vibe. Definitely one of my favorite spots for sushi

Incredibly quality sushi at an affordable price! If you're new and want to get a taste of lots of things on the menu - highly recommend booking a 215pm reservation on a Sunday at the river north location because you get the express lunch menu t
I visited Sushi-san for lunch and had a great time.
The food was very tasty, but I did find it slightly pricey for the portion sizes. We had the 8 piece nigiri ($34) , hand rolls (4 for $25), and an order of the kanpachi nigiri's (2 for $12) split between two people. My favorites were the kanpac
I was craving a lighter meal so we decided to go for sushi.
Sushi-san was relatively higher rated so we decided to give it a try! Inside was a bit darker than expected with more of a bar vibe. The sushi itself was just decent. It was rather filling, but more so because there was a lot of rice in the rolls. Th
Great ambiance and service (on the counter).
Food was pretty good as well. Tried the Crazy Shrimp Tempura, Edamame, Crunchy Avocado Maki, Snack-O, Mango Mochi and Nama Chocolate - enjoyed all. The sushi was pretty basic but still good. Lot of vegetarian options.
Sushi in Chicago
The original place, Sushi-San on Grand is spectacular. Made for the young, this sushi place is awesome. Fresh seafood, excellent dishes and great sake. Many special relationship make the offerings top-notch. Staff is crack too! Try the Hokkaido scall
Very Good Sushi with a Fun Vibe
Dinner for 3 on a Saturday. Buzzing, night-clubbish vibe with bass-heavy background music. We really liked it. Started with edamame and Hamachi Ponzu. Both were excellent. The edamame is apparently steamed then roasted and seasoned - very unus
Disappointing!
We came here for dinner. The place was very busy with a good atmosphere. As this is supposed to be a sushi restaurant we were quite disappointed by the sushi. We were hoping for a much better quality thus quite disappointed! We ended up paying a lot
Great sushi.
We go here once a week. This is by far the best sushi restaurant in Chicago. I can’t complain about anything. I would give 16284728 stars if I could. Lol But honestly, the food is amazing. Service is great when dining in. Our one and only complai
Hip and delicious
A hip restaurant with interesting selection of dishes. I would highly recommend both aburi choices - Unami scallop was delicate and delicious. We had 7 rolls (5 each so that we could try more of what’s offered - all were excellent).
Best sushi experience around
Probably the best sushi I’ve ever had. I dined solo at the bar on a Saturday night and had a fantastic time. There were plenty of solo diners as well and everyone was super friendly. I ordered the yuzu yellowtail and spicy tuna rolls, which were p
Chef Kaze flavors
I’ve been to several previous Chef Kaze restaurants and they’re always great so why don’t I go more frequently? It’s a bit of a mystery, but this one has so many choices I’m sure I’ll be back soon. The Eggplant tempura was a great start
Sushi-San is a solid Japanese restaurant/bar! Specializing
Sushi-San is a solid Japanese restaurant/bar! Specializing in fresh sashimi, sharing plates and fun Japanese-inspired cocktails, I love that this spot has an easy going vibe with great food and drinks. My hubby came here for lunch and another time fo
Amazing experience! Despite being fully booked, they let us
Amazing experience! Despite being fully booked, they let us squeeze in the bar seating on the terms that we would be out in an hour. This was no problem thanks to the attentive and quick service! Our server, George, was wonderful and made sure we got
Finally a great sushi place downtown.
Enjoyed the lunch special here recently and was absolutely delighted by the food, atmosphere and service. As an extra treat for myself, I ordered a couple of pieces of exceptional unagi nigiri. Check it out for yourself, you'll be glad you did.
Great Sushi spot with a lot of space.
Fish was fresh, you get a ton for the money, great flavor. I got the Mega and it was a really good value, for one person it was a lot to eat but it had good variety, I would recommend it but come hungry!
This is probably my favorite sushi spot in the city.
I love not only ordering takeout but going here with friends. It is always a lively place to go on the weekend, but I highly recommend making a reservation. Great place for night out with friends or even a date. I consistently order the spicy tuna c

Sushi San instantly intrigued me with its sleek dimly lit interior and vibrant atmosphere. Despite the bustling crowd, the energy in the air added to the excitement of the evening. While the drinks menu featured interesting options, it's worth noting
Have to try this place if you are in Chicago! Amazing
Have to try this place if you are in Chicago! Amazing service and great music! The server was very welcoming and fast service. This place is always busy I would recommend reserving a table before you going there!
High quality but a bit overpriced.
I got the Megatron, which I split with a friend. It was dark and easy to hear; they easily sat us as two walk-ins on a Wednesday night. Friendly service, solid, above average fish, but I expected a bit more for the price point.
Great lunch spot.
I love the express lunch with tuna and the vietnamese pork dish. Plenty of good sushi options.
Came here for happy hour and their Japanese eggplant
Came here for happy hour and their Japanese eggplant tempura with the yuz Mayo SLAPPED! Their crunchy avocado maki was DIVINE! I would 1000% recommend coming here during their happy hour. Totally worth it. So we sat next to a couple who had the beef

I had a great dinner experience at SUSHI-SAN.
The service was casual, yet attentive. They play some hip hop classics, so the vibe was chill, though it can get a little loud. My company was also super cool, fun, smart, and easy to talk to (rating: 5 stars). Nearly three hours passed, yet we felt
Loved the Sushi and the Atmosphere
This was just a fun place to have dinner. Staff is outfitted in cool "Sushi" sweatshirts; my daughter and I both bought ones as souvenirs! We were seated pretty quickly after arriving with a reservation. The sushi is really good with some
We went to check this place out pretty early on a Monday.
They were not very busy when we arrived. The waiter/bartender had an attitude and was not very friendly. The food was ok. I had a tempura shrimp roll, miso soup and some shrimp skewers cooked with a tangy red sauce. I would say check this place out b
We liked it quite a bit.
The environment was cool. Kind of busy, yet intimate in spots. Waitstaff was great. The food was excellent. Drinks were tasty. A little pricey but not insane.
We strolled in for our last lunch in Chicago.
The service was decent, server was polite and informed us that their hospitality group is part of a rewards program. The express lunch is a good deal. I opted for the sushi and sashimi choice. It also comes with seaweed salad and miso soup. The sashi
Fun casual lunch/dinner spot
This has become one of my favorite spots in Chicago. Fun vibe with old hip hop music playing & the servers are very laid back and friendly. All the food I've tried here has been amazing. My favorite being the steak with the sweet soy sauce.. I co
Another great restaurant by Lettuce!
Very good all around. Great service on table and at the bar, helpful with recommendations for both food and drinks. The food is very good. A little loud, but all around a very good restaurant.
Hot spot!
Amazing place. Super fun atmosphere, we had a reservation there was a wait for people who didn’t. I recommend getting one aswell since this place seems very popular. The food was incredible, i recommend trying the rice (the beef bop or the chicken
Fresh
Great sushi and sashimi. Service was excellent. Prices were reasonable, although drinks were pricey. We will certainly return.
Overpriced
It’s okay not the best and it’s very overpriced. There should be more selections of sushi and drinks. Friendly staff and quick service
I had been craving sushi for sometime.
I saw lobster rolls on the menu and decided this was it.My shrimp roll was amazing one of the best rolls I've had in a long time. The shrimp had so much flavor and was generously on top of my rolls.My lobster roll was disappointing...I love cilantro

Sushi-San was the perfect date night.
The ambiance is warm and comfortable. The playlist kept us dancing. Every sushi dish - spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, spicy scallops, edamame - was excellent! My drink, Thank You, Next, was a hit and served in a rice carton. We'll definitely be back.
Went here for my birthday.
Got a reservation ahead of time, the place can get pretty packed. The bar was very nice, the drinks were awesome, and the staff was very easygoing, and the sushi rolls were delicious. Anytime I visit Chicago this place will be in mind.

I was so excited to try this place because I've only heard good things! It was definitely packed for a week day dinner and I'm sure you need reservations in advance. The inside is very dark but they use their space up very well with a lot of seating

Awesome sushi + I love the vibe of this place and the hip hop music. Need a reservation for weekends but easy to make reservations online. The sushi is so high quality , melts in my mouth. Excellent cocktails. We always get one of the nigiri sets.

Connect with users posting reservations for Sushi-san Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Sushi-san Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sushi-san Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sushi-san Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Sushi-san Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sushi-san Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
