“Top-quality fish” in “fresh, inventive and tasty” presentations paired with a “list of premium sakes” have fin fans flagging this dimly lit, slightly pricey Evanston Japanese as a “place to wind down as well as to celebrate” (especially with saketinis) seven days a week; P.S. it’s now also “open for lunch [and dinner] on weekends.”

It’s a quiet, pleasant atmosphere in downtown Evanston right by the rotary headquarters. A little pricey in my opinion, but then again I come from a small town and bigger cities tend to be more expensive anyway. That doesn’t take away from the quality of...
Third time at Kansaku. Very good every time. Large selection of rolls. Interesting and varied tapas-style appetizers in addition to the sushi & sashimi. Nice selection of sake, Japanese beer, and Japanese whisky. Also a good selection of wine, other liquors, and specialty cocktails. Will...
Staff was excellent and very patient on a holiday evening. Taro chips are too flimsy to scoop Poke, but if that is the worst thing one can say, we are doing well. Everything was good, and we will be back.
Amazing food and their lychee martini is STELLAR! The location is a little pricy (I paid $100 for 1 alcoholic beverage, 4 sushi rolls and tip), but worth the expense. Would recommend for a date night and would certainly come back (especially for that martini)....
Great atmosphere, Great food, and Great service! What more is there! During the summer they have tables on the sidewalk outside.

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.
