The Omakase Room at Sushi-San

When they started the meal with Uni I knew I was going to have an interesting time to say the least. Highly recommend.

We had the pleasure of visiting the Omakase Room for our anniversary, and we were blown away. The service was genuine and kind. Our chefs were clearly passionate at their craft. The meal was superb, with generous servings of rare delicacies like uni, sturgeon roe, and black throat sea perch. And to my surprise---a selection of shou pu-erh tea on their beverage menu!

If there was a downside at all it was that the portions were TOO generous (is that even a downside??). Definitely the place to go if you want to eat your fill and have a special evening.

Had the most incredible wine dinner and omakase tasting here. 18 courses of the most elevated sushi, flown fresh from Japan and Spain! Oh my! chef Kaze is a genius. Service is impeccable and friendly. Cocktails are off the chart. You need to take your date here to impress! @chicagopescetarian

I developed a soybean allergy, amongst many others, as a young adult. After a childhood of growing up on soybeans to say I was devastated was an understatement. I never thought I’d be able to enjoy an omakase experience let alone eat sushi again. I reached out to Omakase Room and Daniel emailed me within a day, immediately putting me at ease. They weren’t just OK with me bringing a bottle of coconut aminos, they’d be willing to supply it themselves and I wouldn’t have to pick and choose between already soy-free items. They would customize the entire experience to accommodate my allergies, and it wasn’t a bother chef was “excited”. What followed was an opportunity to take my partner to the best dining experience he’d ever had, and to do something together neither one of us had even dreamed would be possible. From the very first host my allergies were noted putting me at ease. Chef greeted me with a “are you ready for a soy-free night?” and a smile, and checked in on me throughout the evening. The food was spectacular, my partner and I waking up and immediately having to regale our favourite bites, but the hospitality and willingness to accommodate my disability is truly putting me to tears as I write this. A dream come true I didn’t know I could have, I will absolutely be back and am counting the days.

Great dining experience with very unique omakase. The price tag is quite hefty, but they try to make up for it by serving high quality ingredients and don’t skimp on the portion sizes. The first course for example was toro with a huge dollop of caviar on top. The sake pairing was incredible and I’d highly recommend it. Every single glass was some of the best I’ve tasted. Only let downs were that there was no salmon nigiri and the desert was just meh. Otherwise, great spot to splurge for a special occasion.

The vibes were immaculate. The music selection was perfect, adding personality without overwhelming the atmosphere. The staff were friendly and kind. This made the bad food stand out that much more. I really wanted to like this meal, but it was just not good.

Amazing service. Definitely a ton of food after the 18 courses! I had the wine pairing and my husband had the sake pairing- definitely added to the dinner.

Decided to treat myself to The Omakase Room for my birthday, and it was amazing! The staff were so kind and attentive, the food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was great. The chefs are incredibly talented. Would highly recommend to anyone!

I told them it was my birthday when I spoke to them to confirm the reservation. No one at the restaurant said anything. Then we told them it was my birthday. They still did absolutely nothing to acknowledge my birthday. I was so excited to try everything. There were four amazing courses but the rest were just ok. The chef made everything look beautiful. But there was very little connection or interaction with the chef or the staff. The space is beautiful. The cocktails were delicious. I was very disappointed. It was not worth $750 for 2 people.

I seriously wanted to give this place a 5 star rating. But one star got away because the evening went by super fast. I meant just approximately 75 minutes for the 18 course dinner.

This is not a pure Sushi (Nigiri) Omakase place, rather a part French-part Kaiseki-part Nigiri Omakase style place. The chefs don't skimp on ingredients and everything is top quality. The taste is excellent as well as the execution. The service is shuttle yet never lacking. Yet, the dishes show up one after another without a break.

If the actual dinner time could be stretched out to 100 minutes, this place is destined to be a wholesome experience.

It’s a really nice place, all the waiter and waitress provided exceptional service. The food is fresh, especially urchin. Chutoro tasted good. I ordered two glass of cocktails, one association with melon taste, one strawberry highball, both of them are good with a balanced fruity taste. I realized that seaweed come within a wooden box, i’d be more appreciated if the chef can deal with the box separately from food, not grabbing seaweed from package and directly handling food to customers. Overall, a must try place in Chicago.

If you are into sushi and are splurging for a special occasion, the Omakase room at Sushi San is one of the most memorable dining experiences you will ever have. Amazing food, beautiful artistic presentation, and excellent service in an intimate atmosphere with only 10 diners.

Incredible meal and dining experience

We had such a great experience! From the beginning we were treated with kindness and respect. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was amazing. The wine pairing was OK but we would have chosen different wines. A great place for celebrating or just enjoying excellent food.
