Stopped here after visiting the Color Factory in the Willis Tower. Was a fun spot to eat and people watch. My son and I were happy to see a sushi spot and were pleasantly surprised that it was really good! We were going to order hand rolls around 2-3 in the afternoon and were told that they had stopped serving it for the day. The woman who took our order was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable with suggestions. My son and I ended up getting maki combos-- a roll with seaweed salad and miso soup. I ordered the Hamachi roll and my son ordered the Spicy Tuna. Both were tasty, fresh, and well-crafted. The yuzu in my roll was a nice change from hamachi rolls I've ordered elsewhere. The miso soup was warm and perfectly salty. My son and I agreed that the seaweed salad wasn't great. It was actually probably better for us than the "maybe fake?" sweet seaweed salad we've been eating from other places, but I gotta' admit, we were missing the sweet "maybe fake" stuff. It was still okay and paired well with the meal; we both ate a good portion of it. I ordered their homemade Yuzu Lemonade and it was sweet, tart, refreshing, and I didn't taste any hint of a lemon concentrate being used, which I'm usually sensitive to. It paired so nicely with the food. Would eat here again in a heartbeat. read more

I am a fan of Sushi San and recently discovered their lovely lunch outpost in the Willis Tour! I ordered the Nigiri Set with a side of Miso Soup and Tofu. The bogie was a tasty as ever. The miso soup was hot and flavorful. The tofu was shockingly delicious and should be available at every location. The packaging was perfect and the service was friendly. Only note is they state online that if you order two sides with any nigiri set it is only $5 total for both sides. However, I found I was charged the full price for both of my sides when ordering online. I reached out to management online to correct this and I have yet to receive a response, so minus one star until they correct this and stop overcharging customers! read more

Sushi-San was so good! They had fresh sushi rolls and amazing appetizer. Our waitress gave us so many recommendations and we love it! The ambiance was such a great vide for a Friday night date night. Drinks were on point and really recommend trying this out with your partner or friends or even a girls night out. read more

Good for a quick lunch! Sushi is fresh but I think they need more team members making the handrolls at the handball bar, the chef confused our orders but I don't blame him because the bar was full and it was just him. Its a cute vibe and id definitely come back, just not during peak lunch time. read more

I didn't actually get to eat at Sushi-San, but I intended to... except the handroll bar was closed but we can order rolls. I thought that was silly, especially since there was no signage. We were advised we could sit there though. I thought it was really disappointing, as the establishment is open until 4pm. I guess better luck next time. read more

the service is decent and the ingredients are fine, but I ordered what I thought were basic salmon avocado rolls and a basic spicy salmon roll. it's the worst sushi I have ever had because green onions are the only food I despise and they put it on everything. liberally. even if I pick it all off, there is no getting rid of the flavor. and there's also pickled asparagus in the salmon avocado roll. I enjoy Sushi San's other locations very much, but I have never liked the food from their Willis Tower bar, which is a shame because I work in the building and would LOVE to have the option of grabbing a regular, basic salmon roll. But alas, I can only force myself to eat a few pieces of their sushi before I have to call it quits and (ironically) eat the cost of my "treat yo'self" lunch. read more

Sushi sans happy hour is one of my favorites. Fresh rolls, spicy tuna crispy rice, and other appetizers to choose from. Get there early as they tend to fill up. read more

Got take away (as opposed to sitting at the counter) after visiting the SkyDeck, and was very impressed with the quality and presentation of food. Since we were here during peak lunch hours, there was a little bit of a wait in line, but it was totally worth it. Everything was incredibly fresh, and I loved the packets of soy sauce, wasabi and ginger. Willis Tower offers a nice variety of dining options, but this pretty stand got my attention. Whether you're visiting the Tower or passing by and looking for a healthy and delicious lunch option, this place will not disappoint. It's way more than a lobby sushi bar. It offers items that you'd find in any great sushi restaurant. read more

I tried Sushi-San in the Willis (or as most locals know it, the Sears) Tower food court for lunch today. I purchased a Spicy Sushi roll that came with 8 pieces, soy sauce, ginger and wasabi for $11.95. I thought that the sushi was very good and tasted fresh, but for the price I paid I think there should be more than just 8 pieces, the same meal at most sushi places in the suburbs would cost much less. Overall, I'd recommend if you're really feeling sushi and are in the loop, but can't say I'd go here all the time as it's very expensive for what you get. read more

The sushi is good but Omg the veggies! We tried the crinkled green beans, the broccolini salad, the shishito peppers, and the cauliflower and they were done extremely well. Smoky fire flavors and adequate sauces etc. Loved them all. Con: tables are very tight and close together. Would definitely return next time I'm in chicago!

I was amazingly surprised at how amazing the sushi was at Sushi-San. Despite it being a weekday and not busy the sushi tasted very fresh and presentation was too notch. The happy hour prices were great as well. The salmon roll with the cilantro was my least favorite but the spicy scallop, spicy tuna, and tako taco were amazing! I loved the staffs sushi hoodies as well as how polite they were. The interior was also relaxing, well kept, and plenty of seating. read more

The sushi is delicious and pretty filling. I did a pick up order and had to walk around to find where to pick up and their stall is surprisingly large. Chopsticks that came with the rolls were nice. The fish itself is tender. A chef recommended this place for me and I think it's a very good price for the quality. read more

I ate at the hand roll bar and I thought it was so good! I liked the crunchy fatty tuna, I had 2 pieces. The toro was ok but still glad I tried it, just wasn't as flavorful as the crunchy tuna. I liked that the sake bombs were only $6 each! I definitely want to come back next time I visit Chicago. read more

We love getting Sushi-San for lunch on a work day. The food always looks just like the pictures. The Lobster California roll is so good and so is the edamame hummus! read more

Honestly a slay. I know an avocado roll isn't considered real sushi but listen.. I used to think that too but something about their avocado roll hits different. They also include the crunch inside their roll so there's more texture! I always got it when I was craving sushi but wanted something a little lighter and healthier. read more

The flavor is really good but they use MSG which is unfortunate so I wouldn't return despite it being delicious. If MSG doesn't bother you with symptoms then I'd recommend. read more

Sushi-San has finally opened its newest location, featuring a booth inside Willis Tower! The location is great and I love the look of the shop, with its warm wood panels emulating that traditional Japanese aesthetic. Freshly made-to-order sushi rolls are on the menu, with premium ingredients such as otoro and lobster, all set at a very reasonable price point. I ordered the lobster goddess roll, which featured generous chunks of lobster meat, avocado, and cucumber. Great service as well, as I was also kindly offered two complimentary sides--the edamame hummus and broccolini goma-ae. Both consisted of very nice and refreshing flavors and textures, making them perfect pairings with the lobster maki sushi. I will definitely be back and highly recommend for anyone visiting Willis Tower or looking for a good bite in the area! read more

Very mediocre. The lobster sushi was pricy and not even slightly good. Truly some of the worst sushi I've had in the area and the highest prices. The sesame broccolini was the best part of the meal. I'd recommend you avoid it and the obnoxious line at lunch read more

I normally love this spot but the bartender Frances acted like he couldn't hear me when I asked why his friends shots were added to my bill. I repeatedly asked him, only for him to act like he couldn't hear me. I will be say nothing but terrible things about this specific bartender, who apparently is the only male bartender in the building. read more

We love the food, especially the nigiris and the sushi tacos. Service is great! They let us in even if we are a 15 minutes early. Ambiance is good, too. read more

Came in today and they were so kind about my allergy, made sure everything was safe for me to eat and ensured that they made me a fresh roll for my safety. The food was delicious and the staff were so incredibly kind! Definitely will be back it is a great place for lunch when downtown! read more

The food was fresh and quick. But there was virtually no salmon in my spicy salmon roll. More like a spicy green onion roll. Bummer. read more

Seriously, this is some of the best sushi I've had in my life. This will be my go to sushi spot in Chicago. I went with a group of friends, and tried a wide variety of their rolls with essentially no bad options. Their edamame is also great appetizer. read more

The blonde woman who worked the counter this morning was beyond rude. First, she was irritated that I told her I'm in line because she was about to greet the customer behind me skipping me. Then I said I wanted to order the "Express Lunch" and before I even finished talking she begrudgingly interrupted "We don't do that here!" Rude with zero customer service whatsoever. read more

We had a lovely server, but the sushi was a bit too out-there. The roll I ended up loving the most was just a simple negi hamachi (scallion and yellowtail roll) with yuzu kosho and avocado. The lobster goddess was also great, but there were some rolls with so many ingredients you couldn't really taste them. I liked the yuzu sake bomb, but I also just love yuzu. I did not expect the interior at all. It is styled like a 80's/90's hip hop scene and the music matches. It felt like I was eating at a nightclub. I'm glad we got a small booth and not the high-top bench tables. read more

Great atmosphere, not bad price, sushi was pretty good. Nothing special to be honest, standard sushi joint.
