    Best sushi in Evanston! The fish is so fresh, and the presentation always beautiful. Attentive service as well. Kansaku is a favorite.

    I ordered to go because they were close to closing and brought a Ramen with tempura vegetables back to my hotel. It was incredibly delicious. The containers they use kept the food very hot, and it was delicious. The noodles, the broth, the tempura, all of it.

    Ordered online carryout and the food was excellent. However, the entrees ordered came with soup or salad. We selected soup for both entrees but received only one soup serving. I called and they're giving me a credit for a future order.

    This place used to have very high quality fish, and I would go here often for lunch. Kansaku was expensive, but you were getting your money’s worth in fish quality. However, they must have changed suppliers or something else in the past two months. The fish quality is now terrible. The tuna tasted old, and yellowtail was falling apart on the rice. This is the sign of either old or not properly stored. You are now paying premium prices for gas station sushi. It is a shame that Kansaku has nosedived in quality so fast. Hopefully the owners fix this.
