Sushi San has been a go to date night spot for us for years. This new location isn’t as good in our opinion as River North. The fish was quality but the plating wasn’t great. The sauces were too much on the sashimi. Covering up the fish instead of highlighting them. The beef bulgogi came out with no crunchy onions but instead a giant almost half of a sautéed white onion which overpowered the whole dish. Very odd. The miso salmon looked like it had been taken out of a frozen package and wasn’t fresh at all compared to the sashimi. They were out of the coal fire lobster tail which was a bummer. We go to this restaurant because of the consistently high quality food for slightly less than Nobu prices. Service was good, the person was very nice but it did take a long time to get little things like forks or refills to the table after requesting once and sometimes twice. Overall not super happy. Especially using gift card I got for my birthday on a meal that was subpar. I wish we’d gone to river north instead. I feel a lot of the restaurants on this strip in LP look great Boka Willow room etc. but then the food is not great.

Sushi-San is such a fun spot with great energy. It’s lively but never too much, & the staff is always super friendly & on it. The broccolini is a must—so flavorful & perfectly charred. The skirt steak is tender & packed with flavor, & the lettuce wraps are fresh & light. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything here. Solid food, great vibes, & always a good time.
