Kai Zan - Chicago

Absolute best Japanese food I’ve had since living in Japan, and even a little better. We split a regular omakase and added a couple extra a la carte orders, as well as dessert. Our waiter, Justin, was extremely knowledgable and passionate about describing each of the foods and helping us craft our dinner menu with flavors that would meld perfectly. I will be back here many, many times!

Our meal was simply amazing, and I don't even eat sushi! Decided to go out of my comfort zone and take my boyfriend here for his birthday. The reviews were amazing, and he loves sushi and Asian cuisine. We both ordered the chef's choice omakase, added uni, shared some hot sake, and ordered strawberry mochi for dessert to share. From the minute we walked in the door, the service was amazing, and I have never had such a fantastic dining experience! Highly recommend, and we will be back any time we're in Chicago!

Kai Zan is truly one of the best sushi restaurants in the entire world. The owners and staff are amazing people. They are creative, humble and extremely knowledgeable about their craft. Cheers to Kai Zan and those of you that get the chance to experience it for yourselves.

Best sushi in Chicago easily and among the best anywhere else. We enjoyed both the regular and premium omakase last night and were not disappointed. It was an outstanding value considered the amount of delicacies we were served. Almost felt guilty to have uni, caviar atop lobster nigiri (see picture below). These are the best 3 bites ever! Hope to return.

MIND BLOWN. Best sushi in Chicago hands down. Amazing Japanese cuisine, beautiful presentation, delicious sake, and incredible, personalized service (I have several dietary restrictions). The unagi was to-die-for and every bite from their menu was unique and very special. Very knowledgeable and accommodating staff, and cozy atmosphere. I will be coming back here many, many more times.... I can't wait to see what's next up on the menu!
