Bites is the family gathering place when I visit my daughter in the city. The General Tso chicken was just a bit dry but still good. The jumbo shrimp won tons were awesome! My daughters favorite is the honey bourbon sesame chicken. Staff is excellent and the restaurant is so welcoming and pretty.

Such a fantastic experience like always at any of the RPM restaurants. This was our first time at RPM and it was outstanding! Our waitress, Anna, went above & beyond this evening. We were out celebrating my boyfriend’s promotion and she was very sweet is giving us complimentary champagne and cotton candy for dessert. She gave us great recommendations for our meals. The food was absolutely amazing and we will absolutely be back! I can’t recommend this place or any of the RPM restaurants enough.

Amazing food and attentive service! We love the shishitos with black garlic mayo and bonito flakes. The kabocha kakigori was very unique and perfect for fall. Dont miss the A5 specialty maki as well! The beef truly melts in your mouth.

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.
