KansakuGreat spotFive of us ate at Kansaku on a Wed. night. There was a steady flow of traffic but the restaurant was not crowded. We had two finicky eaters with us and the waiter was able to steer them in a direction that satisfied them- they even said they'd go back. Three people had entrees and were very happy with their meals. The other enjoyed their maki..6/13/2013 12:00:00 AMVery satisfying - plan to returnThis was our first time to Kansaku and we found it delightful. It's a small and informal place with tables or you can sit at the sushi bar. Service is friendly and attentive. The shrimp tempura with vegetables appetizer was wonderfully delicate and flavorful. We each had maki - the Lake Shore Dr. and Volcano offerings - generous portions and tasty although not as spicy as we expected; the wasabe and ginger gave the welcome kick. The "large" Japanese beers we ordered were huge and we couldn't finish - next time we'll go with small! Full as we were, we ordered creme brulee off the appealing dessert menu only to find out that was no longer being offered, alas. So we went with Japanese tea, feeling more virtuous with that anyway-5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent sushi, sashimiDined for lunch, for a very reasonable price, the specials are a bargain.

I plan on returning soon.4/22/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good - but too much mayo!Really nice experience at this establishment. The decor is tastefully done, the service was attentive without being annoying and the food was excellent quality. The only complaint I have is with the amount of mayo/sauce they put on the special rolls - waaaay too much. I tend to usually stay away from these types of rolls for this very reason because all you end up tasting is the may/sauce and not the fish or contents of the roll. Other than that, the cut on the on the nigiri was good and the amount of rice appropriate (though to be honest the rice could use just a little more flavor).
I would recommend this play to others and would certainly go back myself.4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food. One of myExcellent food. One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the city.
