Sushi-savvy urban diners will appreciate this comfortably hip Wicker Park Japanese entry with a long list of fresh fish offerings that includes a multitude of maki—and entrées are no afterthought. A sequel to Naniwa (see), Bob San maintains the pace with a contemporary, loftlike space; centralized sushi bar; fashionable servers; and a generous sake selection (plus specialty martinis). Sushi chefs will go off the menu for you if they’re not too busy. Covered outdoor seating is available during warmer months.
