30 years I’ve been going to Sai Cafe. Quality has never changed. Always the best.
This place is delicious been going for years.
I have been coming here for over 35 years…I think. It feels like going to eat at a friend’s house and it is super great!!!
I have been to their old location, saw them expanded, and moved but the quality never changed. Service is always friendly. I love Sai cafe. I do not live in Chicago anymore but when I come back to visit, I will come see Jimmy and his work family. This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Chicago.
