Dining room at Sai Café, Chicago, ILAsk an aficionado where to go for sushi in Chicago, and this crowded, cramped, convivial spot just might head the list. Nigiri, maki and hand rolls all are beautifully made from generous cuts of ultra-fresh fish. Besides the usual, you'll find novelties like the bagel maki (smoked salmon and cream cheese) and tiger eyes, a creation of squid, salmon, nori and rice that looks like its name. Cold appetizers, such as raw oysters with spicy-tart chili sauce, generally fare well; by and large the same cannot be said of hot appetizers or standard entrées.
