We may be biased, but along with serving the freshest sushi in Chicago, there is a lot to love about the Sushi-san – Lincoln Park space, including the bar, which features floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto an intimate patio on Halsted Street, and the eight-seat sushi bar, perfect for grabbing a quick dinner while sipping a Kappu-Zake (6 oz. cup of sake).
On the lower level, the flexible private dining space, a first for Sushi-san, can accommodate events of up to 70 guests. The space is available to book for custom, private parties including corporate dinners, late-night karaoke, bachelorette parties, and more. For more information or to book your private event, email sushisanparties@lettuce.com.
Hungry for more? Us too! Let’s roll into the menu at Sushi-san – Lincoln Park.
With more than a dozen maki available, it’s hard to choose a favorite! Order up the Spicy Tuna, Salmon and Avocado, Lobster California, Bluefin Tuna and Avocado or Truffle Shiitake, plus, pro-tip: Guests can opt to “hold the rice” and substitute with a cucumber wrapper for any of the rolls.
Made-to-order nigiri and signature San-sets like the Mr. Maguro, a 10-Piece San-Set that includes one roll, tuna loin, chu-toro and otoro, are also at the core of the menu, along with day-one starters like the Tako Taco.
New to the Lincoln Park location are appetizers including an Umami Scallop DIY hand roll, a selection of signature sashimi plates like Ginger-Sesame Salmon featuring Faroe Islands Salmon with fresh ginger and hot scallion oil, and Bluefin Tuna Wafu, finished with dill and Castelvetrano olive. Items such as Chilled Soba Noodles with chili garlic vinaigrette and Mentaiko Spaghetti with ohba and kizami nori are great new additions.
Looking for non-sushi items? No worries, we’ve got plenty. Sizzling rice bowls such as the Beef ‘N Bop and Lobster Kimchi, along with robata-grilled items including the Vietnamese Pork, are available to order, too.
The restaurant also serves up Sushi-san’s first-ever dedicated kids menu featuring a Bento Box with kid-friendly options like Chicken Nuggets, Mac ‘n Cheese and Miso Salmon.
For dessert, guests can enjoy Sushi-san’s signature E-Mochi and Japanese Breakfast pancakes topped with matcha butter and black sugar syrup, along with Nama Chocolates.
Guests can sip on a selection from the extensive collection of Japanese whiskies or enjoy a blast-chilled Asahi, a Sake Bomb, or creative specialty cocktails from Beverage Director Kevin Beary like the Drip on the Strip, My Neck, My Bok, or Still Tippin’ Old Fashioned. Beary also created the N.W.A (Nothin’ With Alcohol), with spirit-free selection, like the Don’t Look Down and Glitter Bomb.
The restaurant is proud to offer one of the most extensive sake-by-the-glass programs in the city, with more than 16 available in three- and eight-ounce pours, all hand-selected by Certified Sake Professional (aka Sake Sommelier) Daniel Bennett. The menu includes “High & Dry” sake like the house Sake-san junmai ginjo jizake, “Fruit & Floral” like Sakeone’s Naginata junmai daiginjo, and “Rich & Round” including Sohomare’s Tuxedo. Kappu-zake, six-ounce cups, as well as exclusive by-the-bottle selections are also available.
