Sanjusan occupies the main floor of a North Loop building that also houses Kado no Mise, an Edomae omakase counter one flight up, and Cafe Yoto, a fast-casual spot serving udon, donburi, and temaki. Sanjusan itself runs a Japanese-Italian menu, putting yakitori and pork gyoza alongside pasta and squid ink dishes, with arancini standing out among the appetizers reviewers bring up most often.
