This is my favorite sushi spot in the city! We went for dinner last night after some pottery painting at Glazed Expressions down the street. The spicy scallop roll is UNBELIEVABLE, so creamy and filling, 100% the reason I come here and everything else always matches up. We got the cold soba noodles and the shrimp tempura to start, both were incredible. For sushi we got the spicy scallop roll and spicy tuna roll, again so fresh and delicious. We split the beef n bop rice bowl and this is to die for. I have nothing but good things to say about this place, the food, the drinks, the ambiance, it’s perfect.

Wouldn’t return for the rolls as there was not enough fish portion to the rice. Though the fish was fresh. Cooked food was much better but even some of those dishes they seem to maybe use the same sauce so didn’t provide much variety. Drinks were good.

It was the first time at Sushi-San Lincoln Park. We truly enjoyed the ambiance, the food was amazing and delicious, and the service was exceptional! There were also great menu options for the vegetarians in our party and creative cocktails and mocktails (ie dry January). I highly recommend!
