I haven't been to Montreal in almost 5 years & there was no doubt that our first dinner would be at Maiko. It didn't disappoint. Maiko's sushi is fabulous & fresh & the ambience is lovely. The only problem is that it has once again ruined me for the sushi available in my city.
Our sushi & sashimi lunch set x 2 were delicious & fresh! But every sushi roll was crumbling & falling apart after dipping in wasabi soy. We had to eat them in little bits. Our waiter was friendly, polite & gave great service throughout. We only mentioned the little problem after paying the bill. He explained that with staff shortages from pandemic & a busy lunch period which indeed it was, the staff may have had to roll the sushi quickly & not tight enough to get them out. He would inform the person concerned & thanked us for letting him know. Why I didn't give a 5 star rating.
Maiko NEVER disappoints! The freshness, the variety, the presentation - 10/10. Mr Zucchini was very pleasant, great personality & sense of humour! One little suggestion, it gets really loud in the restaurant, maybe bring the music down a notch? Other than that, Love, Love, Love!!
Sushi was fresh as always, the specialties "les délices de Maïko" & "les perles de Maïko" were full of flavours. Sanitary measures (during Covid) were respected & the staff is very friendly. Definitely will return :)
Good: attentive waiters.
Bad: Too attentive. He came by when we were halfway through our meal to ask if we wanted the rest to go. We weren't done yet.
Good: nice decor.
Bad: Blaring dance music not appropriate for the "atmosphere". Lights are so dim, people were using their cell phones to see the sushi-checklist. Speaking of cell phones, make sure to bring yours - the menu (& wine list) are only available with a barcode.
Good: wine was good.
Bad: since we couldn't see the menu, we picked it out of the wall of wine bottles next to us. it cost 3 times the price we would have paid at the SAQ. Most restaurant wines are only double the price.
good: Degustation menu for 2 was a huge plate. The fresh fish - about one tenth of the plate - was sublime.
Bad: There was no need for Miso Soup to start - but it was tasty. The maki (9/10ths of the meal) had the fish mixed with some kind of creamy thing, mayo or something. Both the hot & cold maki. We felt it took away from the 'fresh' taste one would expect of this type of meal. We ordered Spicy Mayo - it was missing the "spicy" part.
Overall a bit disappointing.
