KAI ZAN

Finest sushi restaurant in Chicago Kid-friendliness: It is not kid friendly unless your kid is an adventurous sushi fiend.

Favorite Japanese restaurant in the area! They offer great food with a reasonable price. We always leave there very full!

I never really think much of the service and atmosphere ratings here on Google reviews but both at Kai Zan truly were top notch. As a birthday gift, my brother took me to try omakase for the first time, and it was a very cool food experience. Seeing the chefs and waiters and hosts do their thing was like watching a performance. I watched as the staff meticulously reset the table for the next people - everything perfectly placed down to the centimeter. The way they’re able to time everything is incredible too. My favorite of the courses was the very first and the shooters - very unique. The others were good but I appreciated the creativity of those. Very beautiful dishes and we were seated at the bar so we had a front row seat to watching the chefs cook (highly recommend). We also ordered the yuzu cheesecake and ube pound cake (unlisted) for dessert. At the end I wasn’t stuffed but I was content. A really great first omakase experience!

Wow! What an experience. Food was amazing, some of the best I’ve ever had in Chicago and certainly the best sushi! The Wagyu fried rice was incredible, but the mussels stole the show - a must order. Would skip the oyster/scallop shots, but everything else was perfect. Thank you Kai Zan!

Two words, excellent food! Get a reservation and try it for yourself.

One of my favorite sushi restaurants in Chicago! Great booths with lots of privacy! Creative incredibly fresh dishes with consistent service.

Kai Zan is by far one of the best sushi places I've ever been, including Japan, the rest of southeast Asia and LA. Their dishes are unique, delicate and never disappoint. Every time I'm back in Chicago I try to stop in. Oyster shooters are my favorite along with some of the hamachi sashimi dishes. Yes yes yes!!! Oh and they're great accommodating gluten free.

Simply a devine experience. Food was delicious and service was great. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant.
