    Are my 5 stars too easy or is Chicago food just that good!!! The lunch special at sushi san is incredible - the fish is soooo fresh and it was a very filling meal. I will be back for happy hour and lunch very soon!

    Express lunch - salmon avocado maki, tuna crispy rice, and roasted edamame

    Sushi San was amazing! They were very accommodating to my friend's nut/soy allergy. The food itself was delicious, I would definitely recommend the crispy rice for its crunchy texture. Indoors was very well decorated and the bathrooms downstairs were clean.

    Every time I come to Sushi-san, I'm clearing plates--no leftovers, ever. The vibes are always on point, the customer service is top-tier, and the food? Absolutely to die for. If you do nothing else, make SURE you order the sticky caramel miso cake and the Beef'N crispy rice. Trust me--you will not regret it. The cocktails are also a hit--anything yuzu (lemonade or margarita) is a must. I've been here five times now, and each visit is just as exciting as the last, which really speaks to their consistency. My go-to order usually includes the chili crunch cucumber, Brussels sprouts, gyoza, maki rolls, beef'n bop crispy rice, and of course, the sticky caramel miso cake to finish. Sushi-san never misses--can't recommend it enough.

    Had a wonderful time sitting at the bar! Keaton and Conner took excellent care of us and gave excellent service. This place has incredible deals. You must come for lunch. Everything was fresh and delicious and if we lived in Chicago, we would absolutely frequent this place more often

    Food here is really good. We had the Lincoln lunch special which is a set menu. A lot of food for the price of sushi. Favorite was the umami handrolls. Edmame was also good. We got a chicken nugget order for the table and it's their version of chicken karaage: favorite of the table. Service was spectacular. All the staff were so nice and our server checked on us throughout our meal. Restaurant is super cute and decorated nicely. Very clean. Super cute date night spot. 10/10

    Not sure how I hadn't been to sushi-San yet but was VERY impressed - lettuce entertain you restaurants never miss! Came for lunch on a Sunday and vibes were so good. We sat by the window and got to enjoy but the lovely sunny weather and the cool interior. They have such great lunch specials here!! The bento box lets you choose any three items from the list along with a miso soup. I got the spicy salmon (5 pc) and yuzu tuna (5 pc) rolls with seaweed salad and it was so much food for $21! Very good flavor and the service was also great. Will definitely be back!

    We had a really great experience at Sushi-San last weekend. Even though it was a really busy time, we were seated and served really quickly. The staff was really friendly and fun. I also appreciated how diverse the menu was - our whole group wanted different foods and we all found something that we really liked.

    Went for a quick lunch get together with my besties here. I love the decor inside, very clean, and very bright! We tried their lunch combo deal, which is worth it, especially if you're trying different food to share with your friends. So delicious. Their drinks are cute and good too! And can't say anything bad about service, very attentive staff! Can't wait to go back!

    Took my best friend here for her first sushi experience and she loved it! She did the lunch express which was a really good deal and she enjoyed the rolls that she got. I got nigiri, hand rolls and the chicken and it was all soo good! The tuna nigiri was my favorite even though salmon is typically my favorite. Love the space and the ambiance! And service was fantastic.

    Nigiri 8 PC*

    We came to Sushi-San for lunch because our friends had been hyping it up. Turns out, they were right. The food was fantastic and so much of it was gluten-free friendly. We started out with the tuna crispy rice and it absolutely kicked things off. I was in a true sushi mood so I went for the 8 piece nigiri. They make one substitution because one of the salmons has gluten in the sauce but it was great. I'm not normally a California roll guy but the lobster California roll was also delicious. We closed it all off with the beef n bop which is a great closer that really fills you up. It's plenty of food and great to share so I'd highly recommend. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, Sushi-San was one of the best eats in all of Chicago.

    This place was so nice and comforting. We walked in and didn't need a reservation even though we did book one but it was good. The service and ambiance was great. We came around happy hour and the deals are Great. We got their spicy salmon and tuna roll and it's really good. Also tried their third eye vision cocktail which is like a lychee martini but has gin in it. We also got their combo four handrolls and they were really good. Loved the Hamachi and Toro roll that we got. Keep coming back here because they have deals for happy hour.

    WOW such a great takeout experience. I wasn't expecting much because the last I ordered (elsewhere) sushi for takeout it was very mediocre BUT this place blew me away-- so so delicious and tasted so fresh. I can't imagine how it taste when dining in if it was this good for takeout. You can just tell they really put a lot of though into making a good experience for those who can't dine in. It's not cheap but it was worth it! Next time if I can, I'll definitely try to eat there and get the full experience.

    Gorgeous bathroom

    high grade sushi accompanied by delightful appetizers - the chicken nuggets are an elevated Japanese take on a classic dish. I was thrilled by the crispness! the dunking sauce was a bit like a tartar, but not enough for all the chicken pieces - the chilled soba noda noodles were like peanut noodles. they were bouncy, nutty, and vinegary. definitely light and refreshing - the wrinkly green beans had a slight sesame flavor but were overall pretty bland. they barely carried a flavor or texture - the spicy scallop roll was fascinating, thick layers of chewy rice surrounding avocado and cucumber topped with a chunk of chopped and mixed up scallops. they were a little bit too fishy for me not to notice but the texture and volume was incredible. - the snack-o had smooth buttery salmon with delicate avocado and a crunchy bite of shrimp tempura. perfectly created sushi with fresh ingredients rolled right in the back - the space is large and spread out, the downstairs bathroom is super nice and there's a counter in the back to watch the sushi magic happen

    My husband went to Sushi-San on a work trip. He enjoyed the experience so much that he recommended…read moreI give the place a try on my trip to Chicago. Candidly it wasn't on my to-do, but the restaurant happened to be on my route back to my hotel and I hadn't had dinner yet. I walked into the restaurant, and there was a spot open right at the bar waiting for me. I think it was meant to be. Loved the vibe of the restaurant, which was casual but trendy. Best part of all was the music. My ears perked up when I heard Hieroglyphics - The Who... A Plus Remix. Instantly felt "at home" with the underground, old school hip hop. Compliments to their curated Pandora playlist. I ordered the the spicy scallop roll, super san roll, and sawara (Spanish mackerel) nigiri. The spicy scallop roll was my favorite. The super san roll was a mix of their toro with varying fattiness. I appreciated that you could order half rolls at Sushi-San, which came out to 5 pieces instead of 10. This was more than enough food for me. The sawara was buttery and fresh. If you don't like the "fishiness" of saba, you'll enjoy sawara. Lastly, overall customer service was great. The food came out incredibly fast. The bartender who assisted me was awesome. He was attentive and personable.

I came with a friend for lunch during the week and they have a somewhat decent lunch special (for today's standards when factoring the cost of living and inflation). We took advantage of that and ordered the 3 combo platter per person so we got 6 total items since there was two of us. The highlights for us were three yellowtail yuzu sushi as well as the salmon rice bowl. The miso soup that came out first wasn't that great. It was overly salty. My friend who is from Japan that I ate with said this place was ok for American standards but not at all great compared to anything in Japan lol.

It clearly is for all their locations. Unfortunately, here at Chinatown's location, when they attempted to scan the card, the staff said it does not work and only works at the Printer's Row location. I ended up calling the Printer's Row location and had the team talk to the manager at the Chinatown location, and the manager at the Chinatown location kept their stance that it does not work, stating Printer's Row location does not know why the gift card does not work at the Chinatown location, and will not make any exceptions to accepting the gift card. Thankfully at the Printer's Row location, they are stating it's due to their system being new as they are a new location, and reason why the gift card is not working at all the locations yet which they are now working on to fix so it does not happen to any other customer moving forward. I just wish the Chinatown location showed some compassion to address the issue and still accommodate the inconvenience instead of us having to go back to the Printer's Row location to use the gift card Price: Approximately $20, not including tip for 2 people. There are lunch specials! Ambience: Indoor Seating Overall: Worst experience, especially to follow up my birthday celebration

Overall, the fish was fresh and…read morewell-prepared--nothing particularly mind-blowing, but definitely good quality, especially for a more affordable omakase option. My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi. It felt a bit slow, especially for a lunch service. That said, if you're looking for a reasonably priced omakase with quality fish, this is a solid choice.

Both were great. Our bartenders were lovely and very friendly. Found out this is a Malort tasting room and we were able to sample some different Malorts (the cocoa one was good!). Then we were taken back to our table for dinner. Our server was super friendly as well. Started with the miso soup and crispy tuna bites which were probably my favorite dishes. The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.
