Home from Ontario so first time seeing the new location. It is beautifully designed & very welcoming. All the staff were super friendly & attentive. The sushi is consistently delicious. We have yet to find specialty rolls anywhere that are as good as Aikawas!

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!

Paid 120$ 1 assortment of sashimi : good overall (very hard to mess up) 1 plate assorted by chef : only 1 roll with fish which was ridiculous for the price)

Very pretty new location. Service was slow (looked like they were short staffed). Dragon ears were delicious. Should have ordered individual rolls instead of the set sushi for 2 which was just ok.

Great food & service! The 'besame mucho' rolls are a must-have every time I go here.

Best sushi in the West Island. The specialty rolls are really delicious & are worth the extra money.

Restaurant was empty when we arrived & service was good. All our appetizers were amazing. We then took mostly specialty rolls ($$$$) & they were good but not over the top. The sushi Pizza was very bland with very little fish on it :(
As the restaurant got busier, our waiter disappeared. We wanted to order more but couldn't find the guy. After that, we wanted dessert & guess what, nowhere to be found. I got up & asked another guy for the check. We had initially made reservations for my son's bday & mentioned it but they didnt even acknowledge it. For almost $300 for 4 people, I was a little disappointed!

sushi was fresh & présentation ok. spicy rolls' flavours not harmonious (bland with a sudden zing from flavoured mayo) & service was attentive but felt amateur. also - some rolls' composition did not match description (example: 17$ fire & ice roll description promises a roll with a layer of mango on the outside, instead there was a barely visible /detectable quantity in the roll). not bad but not rushing back any time soon...
