    I haven’t eaten here since I left Chicago. In fact, the last time I ate there, was in their old location. I am happy to say that nothing has changed in. This restaurant is still outstanding. The tuna sashimi and the rolls that we had were all terrific. The Hamachi jalapeño was also very good. They had a nice selection of wine and for a fair price. The service was very good as well. They had some nice background music that wasn’t invasive, but you could still hear and enjoy. The next time I am back in Chicago and I want sushi. This will be my go to destination.

    The service is outstanding. Polite, quick, informative and not intrusive. Noise level is low so one can have conversations without shouting. Sushi is very good and creative, Each piece has hints of other flavors which combine well.

    Food is perfect. Service perfect. Ambiance/decor is outstanding. For an upscale neighborhood sushi place, this is one of the best places in the country. BTW: The vibe is far more “mellow” at the Lincoln Park Halsted Street sushi-San than at the sushi-San in River North on Grand Ave. One is not better than the other, they are just different. I go to both places for a total of four or five times a month.
