The Scene – Evanston denizens of all stripes--young, old, sweatshirt-clad and high-heeled--meet at this modern downtown spot. Long, wooden benches and leather chairs belly up to dark wooden tables, while a red-lit sushi and cocktail bar occupy the rear wall. Service--and water pours--can be slow. – – The Food – Inventive appetizers, as well as numerous crunchy, tempura-based rolls dominate the menu. Asparagus rolled with thinly sliced filet mignon is a hit as a starter, as is a delicate, pear-topped citrus spring roll, which mixes spicy tuna, lettuce, crab meat and…
Editor's Tips
- Save Money:
- Don't save room for dessert--the only offerings are ice-cream scoops.
- What to Drink:
- The Aloe Saketini is surprisingly refreshing, while the lychee version is a sweet treat.
- Where to Sit:
- A few seats along the sushi bar offer a view of the action, but skip the bar seats, which is also where waitstaff clusters.

Best maki rolls we ever had
by susanmac1 at Citysearch
April 21, 2007 - My husband & I have dined all over the world, including Kyoto, Japan. The food at Kansaku was right there at the top. Attractively presented & innovative ingredients were very pleasing. We sat at the bar & the bartender, Ted, was gracious & helpful in recommending everything from sparkling wines vs champagnes to great selections from the menu. The atmosphere is kind of Greenwich Village which is nice. They take reservations for favorite tables & even seating at the bar. We highly recommend this restaurant, and they deliver!
- Pros: Ambience, parking, service but above all - the food
- Cons: Nothing

Great Food ...Decent service
by sarah030784 at Citysearch
Food there is great for the price, good portions. Service was fast for a weekend and no reservation. We were greeted promptly and asked to sit at the bar while our table was prepared. Bartender was a joke. Acted like he didn't even see us there. When it was my group of three and one other couple sitting at the bar. Had a major attitude and was extremely rude. Once seated at our table everything was fine. Until I got my mojito, made by the rude bartender, which was horrible. But, they have the best vegetable pot-stickers i have ever had! Just stay away from the bar...
- Pros: Food, fast service
- Cons: Booze, bad bartender
