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!
This is our go-to sushi place on the west island. Always decent quality for the price. I am not going to say it is the best nor are some of the more exotic preparations the tastiest, but it is fresh & not overpriced with pleasant service. The table d'hôte meals are reasonably priced & satisfying.
Great food as always. David was a very professional, friendly server. Restaurant could use a place to hang coats & leave boots & maybe a little more light. We will be back soon. Best sushi in West Island

Prefers the old location
We found a fish bone in the sushi
We had small children in our party ; one of them could have choked on it.
Hope this was just an isolated incident
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!

I have been a repeat client over the years & I recommend Aikawa for all Sushi lovers. Unfortunately, the speed of the service is falling behind & this needs to be corrected. Waiting for over an hour for our order to come in is very annoying.
