Aikawa Sushi

5.0

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!

Host was nice, one waiter don’t look too friendly, no smiles, just serious face but he did refill my glass when needed..that’s a good sign..

luckily my waitress was more friendly & nice! She recommended we take the “besame mucho” & sushi sashimi which was the lunch hour special menu..most of the stuffs on platter was raw..it’s what sushi is about anyways..I’m not used to eating lots of raw pieces LOL..it was quite an experience too! Also, the sushi pieces which was deep fried..it was overdone..like it was fried multiple times..super dry..it didn’t feel like it was fresh..as if it was leftovers..🙁

Recommended for sushi lovers here..pretty nice atmosphere here too.

Best sushi place in West Island of Montreal by far. So fresh & specialty sushi are one of a kind. New location with great ambiance however this restaurant has been a gem for decades.

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.

I have eaten at this establishment for many many years. They have always been the top of the food chain for sushi in the west Island & further afar. Last night was no exception as the service was as awesome as the food was creatively fresh & tasty. Rene was a real pleasure to have serving our table with her wit & knowledge. The food was new for our two guests & they could not express how astonished they were at the quality & taste. They as will we shall return more & more often. Next visit we will be bringing others who have since heard of our guests gastronomic delight & are as such looking forward to experiencing this jewel of the West Island.
