Oh my gosh! This place was absolutely amazing. The hostess was kind. We were quickly sat at a countertop. We had made reservations via OpenTable and this was fantastic. We got edamame from the happy hour menu and two drinks. We got sake, one hot and one cold. It was absolutely amazing. We had a variety of sushi and each one was better than the last absolutely amazing definitely will be going back. Also the service was top-tier

We had an amazing dinner at Sushi-san!
The Snack-O and Crazy Shrimp Tempura were absolutely incredible — perfectly crispy, beautifully balanced flavors, and the sauces were spot on. The tempura shrimp was tender inside and perfectly crunchy outside — easily one of the best rolls I’ve had.
The Banana Milk Punch and Yuzu Margarita were also outstanding — well-balanced, not overly sweet, and very flavorful. The cocktails paired beautifully with the food.
Great atmosphere and attentive service. We will definitely be back!

This was my first time at Sushi-san, and I had a great experience. For appetizers, I really enjoyed the Tako Taco and Saba noodles. The spicy scallop maki had a rich, well-balanced umami flavor. For dessert, I loved the nama chocolate—the presentation was very cute, with the chocolate served on charcoal, which made it even more special.

I went during restaurant week and it was a top tier experience. The miso hamachi sushi roll was so fresh, it was honestly the best sushi I’ve had ever. I was a bit nervous to try the beef gyudon as it had a raw egg cracked on top but the dish itself was still sizzling hot and the egg cooked through as I mixed the ingredients around. Presentation was amazing and all the staff was very kind and attentive, especially the bartender Max! Would definitely recommend this spot for any sushi lovers.

Super yummy lunch special! The special included both miso soup and salad, nice ways to open the palette. It was nice to have a little variety with the sashimi, nigiri, and maki. The rice was cooked fine, but seasoned nicely, and the fish was fresh! Service was speedy and attentive. FYI, a lot of the seating lacks lumbar support. Can’t wait to come back!

Had an amazing experience at Sushi-San! The Beef ’n Bop Sizzling Rice came out hot and perfectly crispy , the meat tasted great , easily one of the best sizzling dishes I’ve had in Chicago.
The Spicy Tuna, Sesame Salmon, and Yuzu Yellowtail maki rolls were all fresh and well-balanced, with the Yuzu Yellowtail standing out for its bright citrus flavor.
Service was friendly, quick, and attentive even though the place was busy.
The vibe is upbeat and lively perfect for dinner with friends or coworkers.
Definitely good quality, I’ll be coming back for sure

Service here was excellent. Drinks – excellent. The food was alright considering the price point it’s at. Wagyu crispy rice – rice was cold and too hard 4/10
Mega box – the yellow tail was fresh and tender 8/10. The bluefin tuna had a really tough piece of sinew running through the middle of the sashimi, made it quite unpleasant to eat 5.5/10

This is an exceptional location for sushi and Asian fare. The bar service by Eli and his colleagues was great! I had two DELICIOUS whiskey sours with egg-whites (highly recommend!) and the wagyu tartare, followed by the D-Luxe nigiri special. Very fresh and filling. I capped off the night with the Nama chocolate which was yummy as well. Great atmosphere, somewhat crowded, good service. Will be back and highly recommend!

Great service, food, and atmosphere. 5 rolls for $10 or 10 for $20 (give or take, depending on what you get) at a highly-rated restaurant in river north is not bad at all!
i got the spicy salmon and sesame salmon roll and they were at least an 8/10 each! the best thing we got were the chicken nuggets, easily a 9/10 and a 9.5/10 with the lime they give you.
also, shoutout to the young woman with the curly hair and a bun, she was very nice and attentive to us!
