Beautiful presentation of delectable bites. We celebrated with the Omakase. Prefer tuna over salmon but had the butteriest salmon ever here. Didn’t have to supplement our order with other sushi as all were included in the Omakase of the day.

I have ventured to countless sushi restaurants in different cities, states, and even traversed through Japan itself. I have never had such a culinary experience as I did at Kai Zan.

Exceptional cuisine paired with outstanding service. My partner and I arrived early, and the manager graciously held onto our wine, mistakenly brought under the impression of it being a BYOB establishment. Our server was remarkable. The vibe in the restaurant was chill and the music was spot on.

Have to rave about this place! It is so hard to find fresh, good sushi anywhere that the drive from the suburbs was worth it. This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. It’s small, so reservations need to be made. They do stick to the times pretty strictly, so give yourself enough time to park.

I love KaiZan. The food is amazing! This restaurant is perfect for a date night or just a night out with the girls. Everything I ordered was delicious. I highly recommend.

The perfect experience. We came here to celebrate a few birthdays, and it was better than I could have imagined. The best service I’ve ever experienced, and I haven’t even gotten to the food. Tied for the best place for sushi in Chicago.

This is the first time I give negative review on Google. We four people go there on Wednesday evening. All of us get sick after the omakase. One of my friends acute gastroenteritis. I eat a lot of Japanese foods usually and the food I ate there is definitely not fresh.
