Although we started to sit outside, servers were super accommodating when we asked to move inside. We opted for a few simple rolls which we elegantly plated! Also, had to try the salmon teriyaki skewer which was AMAZING!!! Fresh sushi and other options... we will be back!

Based on the reviews, we decided to try Shinsen for the first time and order takeout. We ordered 8…read moreitems totaling over $130 with tip. The food was absolutely awful. The shallot rice with vegetables had no vegetables at all and tasted as if it was premade and warmed up again in the microwave. The shallot rice with beef was the same and contained tiny bits of burned beef. The sushi was not fresh and the crispy spring rolls were akin to dog treat sticks. The food is expensive and some of the worse food I've ever had. While I appreciate the business owners detailed response, there are contradictions. When ordering the shallot fried rice from the restaurants website on July 2, vegetables were included as an option. Today vegetables have been replaced with herbs. Nevertheless we chose the available vegetable option therefore vegetables were requested. The restaurant received our vegetables request as indicated on the pictured receipt and packaging. We received herbs and rice but no vegetables. We did not order through a third party delivery service. We placed the order through the restaurant website and I arrived early to pick up the food. I hope that the owner is able to receive my feedback constructively and take accountability for the issues my family encountered with the restaurant.

Getting close to living in the area for 30 years and had not been back to Kuni's until recently…read more Just had forgotten (unless things really changed) how cozy having a place this close to home is. Good wide menu with items that you don't find at your mainstream japanese restaurant. More like old school Chicago Japanese. (Thinking a blend here of old Ginza and maybe some parts Sunshine.) Maybe only with the departure of those favorites we appreciate more what has stayed on. Appetizer selection is long enough to just get small plates to share. Notables: - ebi snijo (homemade shrimp ball) - hamachi jaw (if you haven't had it) - hirame no cha soba age (fried green tea noodles and whitefish rolled with seaweed) - evokes the old Ginza restaurant for me - octopus sunomono Even after three recent visits without repeat apps, there are still more we haven't had elsewhere to try. Part of the reason for that is - we get entrees too. We've been happy with: - chirashi (curious how the sashimi D differs) - Salmon Bento (D) - so many different things fun to share! - Kuni's Special - gomaee and mixed seafood sunomono, then our choice of sashimi followed by saba - nabe yaki udon is reasonable here at $13 with two tempura shrimp Know there's lots of reviews here, but as long as there is room on weekends for us we're happy to share!

By that time, we had finished eating our appetizers, and she proceeded to inform us that the kitchen ran out of salmon and tuna, and it was closing in 1 minute. We had to make a decision to change our original entree selection containing the two main ingredients that were no longer available. While we asked the staff to wait a couple of minutes so that we could make a new selection, the sushi chef said loudly across the dining room "they have to order NOW!" Needless to say, due to the lack of training of the waitress, and the rudeness of the sushi chef that night, it soured our dining experience. Plus the food was really mediocre. We won't be returning to Kansaku any time soon and we will also inform our friends about our experiences.

This is a cozy Edgewater spot that punches way above its weight in terms of freshness and hospitality! The fish is exceptionally clean-tasting, the specialty rolls and nigiri are thoughtfully put together by the chef who assembles right in front of the diners. Service is a real standout here: Chef Tim and team are warm and attentive without hovering, and the room has an intimate, welcoming feel that makes it ideal for a casual date night or a relaxed but quick sushi fix. It's not a flashy, high-concept sushi temple - more of a neighborhood "hidden gem" where you quickly become a regular. I say this because they made us feel like regulars our first time in!
