At the bar, I was served by John (an Asian gentleman), who made me feel genuinely welcome and even offered some thoughtful recommendations, which was a lovely touch

Sushi-san — one of River North's strongest japanese spots. Order the Sushi. The room fills up fast and stays lively. "The rice was cooked fine, but seasoned nicely, and the fish was fresh" — Sergio D [$$]

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!

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
