Chicago Sushi San｜Every Dish Was Absolutely Incredible! 😍

Tried this highly recommended spot, and wow—the sushi was super fresh! 🎉 The uni was unexpectedly sweet and briny—so delicious! 🌊💛 The value here is unbeatable—no wonder some say they’d eat here daily if they lived nearby! Small plates are around $10, and mains are reasonably priced too. 🤑✨ We sampled a bunch of their hot dishes, and each portion was just right! 🍆 Eggplant Tempura – Crispy on the outside, tender inside, with a savory sauce that makes it utterly addictive! And only $9—definitely ordering this again! 🚀 🍤 Shrimp Tempura – Sadly, just okay. The shrimp wasn’t very fresh (texture was mushy), and the batter was a bit thick. Not sure why the eggplant outshone this one! 😅 🍚 Beef Rice Bowl – A must-try! So good I craved it the next day! 🥩🍄🍳 Loaded with mushrooms, egg, seasoned beef, and crispy bits for texture. Mixed together, it’s flavorful and not greasy at all. ⚠️ Pro tip: Ask for the sauce on the side—pouring the whole bottle makes it too salty! 🧂 🍰 Sesame Cheesecake – Pretty average for me (but I’m not big on desserts 😅). That said, it’s a well-made dessert because it’s not too sweet—rare find in the U.S.! 🎂👏 🥩 Grilled Beef – Outstanding! Perfectly charred outside, tender and juicy inside (medium-rare). Marinated beautifully with no weird aftertaste. My boyfriend and I both loved it—will 100% order again! 🔥❤️ Final Take: All the hot dishes we tried were fantastic—highly recommend exploring their mains and small plates! Sushi is delicious too, especially the deluxe options 🍱💖. #ChicagoEats #SushiSan #SushiLovers #ChicagoFoodie #BestValueEats #TempuraLove
