Editorial Review

A sushi pioneer in Lincoln Park, fail-safe Sai Café has been serving up well-priced nigiri, maki, hot and cold appetizes and rice dishes in understated atmosphere for almost 20 years. Head in during the week when the conscientious servers aren't too crazed to welcome you to your table with warm pre-meal oshiburi cloths to wipe your face and hands. Great patio-seating in the summer.
