Best sushi I have ever had! If you are a sushi person then you have to stop by Bob San when you go to Chicago! My boyfriend said he didn't like sushi, but I took him here and he loved the sushi!!

I don't know who everyone else is encountering at this place but I have never had a bad experience with any of the Bob San staff. Everyone is always friendly and accomodating. I eat here or order carry out at least once a week. They have amazing sashimi- super fresh. Everything is always delicious and they allow me to customize my rolls the way I like them. I love this place and bring anyone I have in from out of town! Pros: Great service, fresh fish Cons: Tables are kind of close

My wife and I have dined at this restaurant multiple times. The sushi very good. However, the service isn't just poor, it's insulting. Upon a recent visit - our second visit within one week - a manager treated us very disrespectfully with regard to our bill. Long story short, the restaurant had agreed to save a bottle of Saki for us for one week. Upon asking that they continue to do so (as previously agreed to), the manager on duty treated us very rudely. An opportunity to build a positive relationship with a frequent guest turned into a disappointing evening, and a desire to never dine at Bob San again. Too bad. Pros: Sushi Cons: Service

We eat in at Bob San off and on because it is close by. Thursday night we decided to do take-out. We showed up at the designated time, in 20 minutes, and they hadn't even started the order. We had been told it would be a few minutes. I was asked to go outside and get out of the way of other customers coming in. I went outside, came back in after another 20 minutes and it still wasn't ready. I was told I could go sit on the sofa or at the bar if I wanted. I went back outside with my friends for another ten minutes, came back in and it still wasn't ready. One of the girls had to go home with her baby so the rest of us waited another ten or fifteen minutes before we got our food, so that makes 1 hour from the time we called the order in. The hostess never would make eye contact with us, put the food on the table and walked away. They did a wonderful job with the food but she was really rude and not apologetic at all. Yes, they were busy, but being a hostess is her job and she should be more accommodating and pleasant.

I am a sushi snob and Bob San is the hands down the best sushi in Chicago...if not the best restaurant in Chicago. It?s amazing!!! The fish is always fresh and the rolls are soooooooooo good and not ridiculously complicated with too much mayo and cream cheese. Bob (owner and chef) is the best, the atmosphere is great and the service in incredible. It?s my happy place! Pros: food, ambience, and service

Bob san offers fresh sushi at reasonable prices. It can get crowded on weekends, so reservations are helpful. Nice atmosphere and good service. I go often and am always pleased with my meal.

I live close so this place is convenient. It has a nice low-key atmosphere, excellent sushi and good service. A little overpriced for take-out, but it's worth it for a nice dining-in experience.
