    Exceptional food and team. The restaurant doesn't have the swanky vibe of some of the West Loop/Logan hotspots, if that's what you're looking for. But after 30+ years in business, if you're looking for exceptional quality sushi, Sai is your spot.

    No better place to have sushi and especially with your family! We’re a big fan of Jim and his entire staff! It’s our family tradition to spend Valentine’s Day dinner at Sai Cafe.

    I love Sai, it's been my favorite place for sushi since I moved to Chicago long ago. This night however we all had soup or warm dishes. I had the tempura soup which was warm and yummy. I'll go back to my favorite sushi next time but it's good to know their soups are warming on a wintery Chicago night.
