We decided to try this little place for a nice relaxing dinner out. An anniversary dinner. Ambiance was beautiful. Very chic, and clean. Dimmed lighting. The food was very good. Fresh and delicious. Service was another story...although the service was good...it all felt very rushed. We were asked in a span of 10 minutes, three times if we were ready to order. Coming from the service industry, when a client puts their menus to the side that is your queue to come over to the table... when they are still actively looking or talking, you do not keep asking them if they're ready to order... after multiple times we finally decided to order because we were rushed. From appetizer to entrée was about 5 minutes. Again, RUSHED. While we were still having our entrées, we were asked multiple times if we were done eating or if we could have our plates taken away ....Check was dropped. We were asked three times within 8 to 10 minutes about paying.....finally my boyfriend asked the server what the rush was? The restaurant closes at 10:30 and we were practically being thrown out at 8:40 PM. We chose this place because of the ambience and the food, hoping to have a relaxing night where we could talk as well. A rushed service sort of ruined the experience.

Good but nothing that will blow you away. More like a 3.5/5. But certainly a solid option for sushi in Evanston. All rolls tasted good and fresh, service was nice, and restaurant was modern!

Man the ambiance is off the chain, smooth r&b playing in the background will make me come back and spend my coins. Do we start with bacon-wrapped scallops? They were delicious as always. We also had drinks which were a margarita made with Patron and a pear martini! Our entree was a Lobster King, creamy Lobster, and crab crunch rolls. They were made perfectly. Our server was really nice and professional. Kansaku is my favorite sushi restaurant. They have never let me down. But I have to say the music they are playing is really impressive considering they're in downtown Evanston. Mywife and I are the only minorities in the entire place other than the workers . They are jamming y'all! I can't believe it...it made the experience even more enjoyable to eat here! Now not just because of the cuisine but I actually have another reason to come dine in. All they need is a dance floor now!

Came here for a bento lunch when I was back in town for work. Nice quiet little place in Evanston that has a pretty good lunch special on their menu. The bento boxes have a nice variety and is more than filling enough for lunch. They also brew their own beer which goes pretty well with the sushi and nigiris.

Overpriced place, small portions. Food was ok, service was fine. It is not an authentic "Japanese" place. It also could be cheaper

Had I known my half order of chicken teriyaki (for the low, low price of $18) would consist of 1 chicken tender, 1/2 cup rice, and maybe 2/3 cup of limp, flavorless vegetables I would have just poured myself a bowl of cereal. $18 for 1 chicken tender!

This is our new go-to Japanese restaurant. The main reason besides the great food is the wine list by the glass. We dropped in after the show and ordered the Acacia Pinot and the Raymond Chardonnay. They were both excellent. We had the lobster egg roll. Wow the portion size was immense. My wife had the salad. I don't think they spun the lettuce so the dressing was really watery. I've had better sesame dressing. Then my wife had the been and avacado appetizer. It was also huge. We brought most of it home. I had the tempura bento box. There is so much food. I brought the california roll home. I left the salad almost uneaten.

Excellent service and food quality. A must try if you're in Evanston. I will definitely be back. Fresh and well made. We had the mixed tempura bento box dinner, half chicken teriyaki dinner, and negi hamachi maki. All were excellent
