" KANSAKU has a wonderful sushi selection! The innate flavors of the fish were so delicious. I particularly loved their eel nigiri—each piece just melted in your mouth! The service was prompt, and ambiance was relaxing. Definitely a great place to unwind after a long week! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m torn about my experience at KANSAKU. The food was high quality and fresh, however, the prices felt a bit steep for what you do get in terms of portion sizes. The environment was nice and our server was incredibly friendly, so it wasn’t all bad. I’d likely return, perhaps for a simple lunch rather than dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience! The fish was absolutely fresh, and the presentation of the dishes was impressive. KANSAKU is my go-to place for sushi in Evanston.

" KANSAKU has captured my heart with their attention to detail in every dish! I’ve tried numerous menu items and every single one has been delicious. I love their tempura; perfectly crispy. The atmosphere is lively, making it the ideal environment for social dinners. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I generally had a pleasant experience at KANSAKU, though I found the flavor profiles a bit inconsistent. Some rolls were bursting with flavor while others fell flat.

" Sushi at KANSAKU is consistently good. I've tried so many different dishes from their menu, and I’ve never been disappointed. They incorporate fresh ingredients in every roll which I appreciate. The atmosphere is classy for a casual restaurant, and it's family-friendly too. I’ll keep returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my dinner at KANSAKU! They offer a lovely atmosphere and have a great selection of sushi. My favorite was the spicy tuna roll; it was delicious! The hibachi chicken was decent too. Service was friendly but a bit underwhelming. Overall I had a nice time and would consider returning. " (*Curated Review*)
