    Super-delicious, unexpected combinations of flavors, and modern interpretations of favorites. The veggies and proteins were especially inventive and scrumptious!! My "meat-loving" family went crazy for the glazed cauliflower and the brussels sprouts. Service was solicitous and friendly -- much more comfortable than other restaurants with this level of high-concept food might deliver.

    I’ve been to Sushi San before at their River North location and the quality of service and food is consistently good (which is so important especially with raw fish)! The Sushi San is Lincoln Park had an even better ambiance than the River North location with dimmed lighting, a beautiful interior, and booth seating. I absolutely loved the dinner and we will be back!

    Took my husband for his birthday. We both loved the space. It was a sleek environment that looked and felt good. The cocktails were amazing and the food was outstanding! We both see why the Crispy Rice is a signature dish! Not to mention the sushi menu and the main flavors - all outstanding! Cannot wait to go back!
