    Love sushi san happy hour deal. They have the best sushi and it does get pretty crowded here. The ambiance is nice inside but the lychee drink we got was alright not what we expected

    Chili Crunch Cucumber

    Sushi San is a great spot with tasty dishes and great service! Vibes are fun and casual. A lot of unique dishes in addition to the traditional sushi you can get at any sushi spot.

    Tuna crispy rice

    Food, service & ambiance was lovely Walked in on a Friday afternoon- sat at the bar. WOW so taken care of by the bartender and the sushi.

    Came for the express lunch deal! It was $21 for miso soup and the choice of any 3 menu options. On a food tour for lunch, we decided to go to sushi San and its sister restaurant, ramen San where we got one express lunch deal at each restaurant. We opted for the tuna crispy rice, yuzu yellowtail, and Vietnamese pork rice bowl. The tuna crispy rice was your typical, delicious dish. The yuzu yellowtail rolls came with a yuzu dipping sauce, very fresh fish. The Vietnamese pork rice bowl was flavorful and the meat was tender. The service was great and the food came out sooo fast. Would absolutely come back

    Express lunch for $21. Food was good.

    I really like their express lunch. For $21 you start off with miso soup and you can pick three items out of a list of food options. There were plenty of options to choose from the list. I had the spicy tuna roll, the salmon roll, and their spicy tuna and avocado bowl. Food was really good and fresh and the portion size was more than enough. I would definitely come back.

    Scallop and Toro Nigiri
    Christine L.

    Came here with a reservation for dinner on a Saturday night and it was buzzing- def get a reservation. Started with some apps (crispy rice is always good) and drinks (Coconut Negroni was good) before getting to the main event of Nigiri. So apparently this spot imports all their fish fresh from Japan, but tell me why you would serve a tuna like this?! I'm gonna leave it at that. Scallop nigiri was great though, so 3 stars for the scallop alone.

    Happy hour rolls
    Kenna G.

    Obsessed with Sushi-San. Their rolls are so fresh, and select ones are only $6 during HH! The spicy tuna and the avocado crunch are both a 5/5! Thoroughly enjoyed their crispy rice as well, solid 4.7/5. Only thing this restaurant could use is a patio! Dim lit dining area. Service was just okay. Busy Thursday HH!

    Wagyu tartare over crispy rice
    Jenny N.

    Easy to make reservations on OpenTable. Friendly service! The inside was open and inviting~ Food was decent! Bang bang cauliflower was breaded so well and tasty. I had some handrolls which were solid as well. The crispy rice was not as crispy as I wanted and wasn't as warm as I wanted it :( the fish for the nigiri was decent as well Street parking but walkable from Grand station. 2 single occupant bathrooms in the back.

    I've been to a hand full of sushi places and this is definitely up there when ig comes to quality of the food & drinks. Although we sat down fairly quick it took a while to get an order in. I had the edamame and wagyu. Wagyu was a bit chewy but super flavorful and had more tender parts to it. I will be back to try the rolls!

    RESERVATION RECOMMENDED! This place was very popular so if you don't like to wait, call advance for reservation . It is very crowded even on the weekdays. The sushi is very fresh and the rolls are tasty too. Our waiter was very attentive. He is aware of my squid/octopus sensitivity therefore he made sure he inform the chef in regard to allergies. Every entree we had ordered had a an allergy tacks on it which I thought was hilarious but highly appreciated. I am thankful they pay close attention to my needs and accommodation. My only friendly suggestion is that that they bring out the edamame beans and cucumber salad first before anything comes out since that goes well with every entree. The two items were serve last and by the time our belly was content and full, we have no urge to eat it. It was packed to go for a midnight snack.

    Express sushi and sashimi
    Wendy L.

    I came here on a weekday for lunch and highly recommend it. It was not too crowded and food came out pretty quickly after ordering. I like the modern vibes of this location. Seating was comfortable. I tried their express lunch menu, which is a great option if you're here during lunch time. You get to pick 3 items from the list and I chose tako taco (a little spicy but highly recommend- one of my favorite things that day), salmon avocado (I'm not a personal fan of the Meyer lemon sauce), and tuna avocado rice bowl. Each item is smaller portioned but all together it's a substantial lunch set. I also tried the express sushi and sashimi lunch set, which comes with a delicious seaweed salad which I would order on its own as an appetizer. The lunch set comes with their "oh-my-kaze." This includes salmon, hamachi and tuna. One piece of tuna was substandard and had a big piece of sinew in it. Our server quickly switched it for another piece. The only dish I would skip is the Peking duck sizzling rice. The taste was fine- a little on the sweeter side with the hoisin sauce but the portion was more of an appetizer size. It's also not a true Peking duck, which focuses on a crispy duck skin and this dish just featured duck meat.

    Japanese Eggplant Tempura we had 4 orders!
    Lorri P.

    Wow!!! HH 7 days a week is a nice flex! Met with my new friend here Sunday and we had an amazing time! We ordered all the food off the HH menu (edamame, eggplant tempura, avocado rolls, salmon rolls and shishito peppers). I had a few old fashioneds and she had the lychee martinis. Our server was incredible, spot on and very kind and helpful. The restaurant is a nice size and the have a bar too and it is cool for families as well. We enjoyed our time!

    I once came here on a weekend and it was extremely packed that I didn't get to try it. I've heard a lot of good things about this restaurant so I decided to go on a Monday afternoon and was easily seated, despite there being so many people already. It seems like a popular space to go to have drinks with your coworkers. I opted for the Express sushi and sashimi for $26 which I think was an amazing price for the two appetizers they give and the insane amount of fish they provide. While very generous, the taste of the fish and the Nigiri did not wow me enough. The fish was fresh, but there wasn't much added to emphasize the flavor of the fish. I would love to come back to try other things on their menus, such as the hand rolls and regular sushi rolls, but I don't think I'll come back for this set.

    Nama Chocolates. Delicious!

    We originally came to Ghost Donkey as paranormal investigators, after being hired to locate the…read moremissing ghost donkey belonging to a local agave farmer. The case had gone cold--or perhaps mezcal-hot--until we received a clue pointing us toward River North. Ghost Donkey is spacious, colorful, and full of energy, with plenty of bar seating and tables. The music can get loud, but it fits the atmosphere perfectly. The bartenders were constantly interacting with guests, swinging the lights, encouraging the crowd, and turning the entire room into a neon-lit fiesta. They do have a food menu featuring items such as tacos, nachos, quesadillas, and guacamole, but we mostly came for the drinks. Many of the cocktails are tequila- or mezcal-based, which is exactly what we enjoy. The menu is creative, the drinks are strong, and the bar does an excellent job making agave spirits approachable--even for guests who may not consider themselves mezcal experts. After two drinks and an argument with a decorative donkey, we finally found the missing spirit hiding behind the bar. He was translucent, smelled faintly of roasted agave, and appeared to be carrying a tiny map. We followed him through a glowing hallway, down a staircase, and into a secret chamber where he revealed the legendary piñata of Quetzalcoatl, the ancient feathered serpent god. Naturally, we attempted to break it open. Instead of candy, it released a cloud of mystical dust, three lime wedges, and a receipt for nachos. The ghost donkey brayed with laughter, the lights began swinging, and the entire bar erupted in applause. The bartender handed us another drink and told us this happened all the time. Ghost Donkey is a fantastic place to hang out, pregame, and enjoy inventive tequila and mezcal cocktails in a lively setting. Just be warned: you may arrive looking for a ghost donkey and leave having helped recover an ancient Mexican god's piñata. That's simply the sort of evening this place encourages.

The restaurant itself has a great vibe, with stylish décor and a comfortable atmosphere. The chicken sandwich was crispy, fresh, and very good, although I thought the coleslaw was a little too heavily marinated. The salad was also very fresh and tasty, but there were a bit too many condiments and toppings for my preference. The duck was especially tender and fresh, and overall, everything we tried was quite good. We also ordered a mocktail even though we were warned beforehand that it was very sweet. We wanted to try it anyway--and yes, they were absolutely right! It was definitely too sweet for us. What impressed me most, though, was the owner. He personally came out to speak with us and genuinely listened to our feedback about each dish and our thoughts on the overall food experience. It was refreshing to see an owner who actually wanted to hear what his customers had to say and was so open to suggestions. That personal interaction made the experience especially memorable.

He was friendly and highly attentive. Loved that our food and drinks also came out in a timely manner. I enjoyed everything I ate. I had a few bites of the appetizers including the scallops, fried paneer, and 2 kinds of empanadas (corn and chicken). We also got lumpia and a mixed bread platter for the table. Though I didn't have any of the latter, they were a hit at our table. I got the burger as my entree, and it was such a redemption from a crappy burger I got elsewhere earlier in my trip. The double smashed patties were juicy and flavorful. I devoured the burger and loved the thin cut fries. All-in-all, we had a lovely dinner at Ila's for my sister's bachelorette party.
