2025 dine-in: the combo for two was pretty basic but filling. Quality was pretty much the same as an all you can eat place. Pretty decor. Friendly service though didn't explain which rolls were which. The cover songs were a little annoying though. The pink Sayuri sake was a nice side, though the SAQ has it for less than half the price. 2024 delivery: Got the initiation combo. The non fried rolls were warm & the restaurant is not far away. Did not follow instructions to not provide chopsticks or soy sauce. The rolls themselves were alright, seemed a little much for the quality price but it was definitely filling. Bunny orange slice is a cute presentation addition.
Most people are very selective these days about the restos we go to, as we all want value for our money. Aikawa is the ideal restaurant if you want wonderful sushi in a beautiful décor, where tables are semi-sectioned off for a more intimate environment (i.e. you can carry on a conversation easily). We're a group of four friends & we all found the service attentive & professional. We are already planning to return for our next get-together!

We have visited Aikawa many times over the years when it was located in the back end of a strip mall on Brunswick & now finally had a chance to try them in their (relatively) new digs in the Galeries des Source mall, with a huge sign facing the highway. The resto is quite large following an'L' shaped pattern with a long sushi bar at the entrance & a large number of tables on the side & to the back, including a large private room at the back. A nice touch is the tv screen showing examples of their specialty sushi maki rolls...certainly helped us to make our decisions. For food, we had Miso Soup (a classic...no issues) & the Green Salad (OK...the dressing was not mixed into the leaves enough), as well as Edamame to start. For our mains, Chicken Teriyaki (served on a sizzling skillet...very good although the portion size has reduced over the years), & a large sushi plate (Hamachi, Magura & Sake...all very fresh fish, definitely not from frozen...& all very good), The West Island, Spicy Salmon & Twister...which also were very good. All in all, I was very happy with the sushi quality & presentation. The only (nominal) downside is the ambiance of the restaurant. While the décor is very nice it seems a bit sterile or at least lacks a measure of warmth. Not sure why, just a sense we had but that did not take away from either the food or the service. Definitely worth a visit. Enjoy!
I recently dined at this restaurant & had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The ambiance was inviting, the service provided by the staff, particularly Renee, was exceptional, she was AMAZING indeed 💕👌 & the culinary offerings were nothing short of impressive. From appetizers to dessert, each dish was expertly prepared with a delightful burst of flavors. The extensive menu catered to a variety of preferences, & the presentation was top-notch. The attention to detail in both the decor & the cuisine showcased a commitment to quality. Moreover, the barman, David, skillfully crafted drinks that complemented the overall dining experience. The staff's attentiveness & genuine enthusiasm added a personal touch, making the visit memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a delightful culinary journey. It's a place where every aspect, from service to cuisine, is meticulously curated for a fantastic dining adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here & look forward to returning.
Le nouveau décor est très plaisant - bien que plutôt serré. Les plats étaient même meilleurs qu'auparavant, ce qui n'est pas peu dire. Excellent sushi. Par goût personnel, nous aurions probablement préféré de la musique d'ambiance plus jazzy que ce qui jouait. Mais tout compte fait, Aikawa demeure notre resto sushi préféré.
For years, & still to this day, this is my favorite sushi place. We now live in Eastern Ontario, & this is the place we come back to eat sushi. The sushi is definitely high-end quality, creative & fresh. Service is impeccable, & the decor is discrete & elegant. Recommending it highly.
This restaurant is must to try. Lovely decor, attentive service & delicious food. The portions are generous & the prices are reasonable. So happy that we could eat there. :)
