La chef de Maïko Sushi de Dollard-des-Ormeaux concocte autant les classiques de la fine cuisine japonaise (sushis, makis, sushimis, tempuras, soupe au Miso) que des inventions de son cru telles que de délicieuses crevettes aux amandes. Toujours affluent, autant le midi que le soir, Maïko Sushi demeure l'un plus populaires et mieux cotés restaurants japonais à Montréal.
Maiko Sushi est largement reconnu comme une destination de choix pour une cuisine japonaise de grande qualité, régulièrement saluée pour la présentation artistique et les saveurs raffinées de ses plats. De nombreux convives apprécient l'atmosphère élégante et la variété du menu, soulignant que l'expérience est souvent exceptionnelle et mérite le détour. Bien que l'établissement soit fréquemment décrit comme une adresse prisée qui nécessite une réservation, les avis concernant le service et l'agencement des tables sont nuancés. Certains clients soulignent un personnel attentionné et professionnel, tandis que d'autres suggèrent des améliorations concernant l'accueil, le confort des places et le niveau sonore. Malgré des avis partagés sur la tarification et la rapidité du service lors des périodes d'affluence, le restaurant demeure un choix privilégié pour ceux qui y retournent régulièrement pour la qualité constante de ses plats.
Do not come here if you're looking for authentic good sushi at a reasonable price. The food was good (maybe 3.5-4/5) but the price is around double to triple what the quality would warrant. The service was poor & we struggled to get any server's attention. The appetizer took an hour to arrive, & there was a 20 minute gap between us finishing the appetizer & the main course sushi arriving. Sad state of affairs.
Love coming to Maiko sushi especially for the lunch specials, sushi is always fresh, tastes amazing, consistent & I've never been disappointed. Quality of the food is on the much higher end, it's worth the price, the miso soup is amazing along with the 911 rolls. Service is always very consistent, friendly & amazing. They really go the extra mile on presentation, it's always such a treat! The restaurant is beautiful, such a nice atmosphere, very welcoming, & upscale. I'm a regular here & always coming back! Try the lunch specials, the sushi bouquet is totally worth the price & you get a delicious miso soup & salad with it!
Overall, this is a pretty busy restaurant with okay food. I found that the sushi is very expensive for basically mediocre quality sushi. They put some effort into the presentation of the sushi, & it's fresh; but the rice is dry, & the fish isn't that flavourful. Prepandemic you could get a nice chef platter of sushi for 35$ (18 pieces), post pandemic I paid about 140$ for 32 pieces of sushi. I wouldn't recommend this place. Paying premium prices for mediocre sushi. The restaurant was also super loud & packed, & it took a long time to get service.
Rice in the sushi was high quality. The sashimi was fresh & tasty. The rolls where great as well. We went for the shared chef's choice & it was 65 pieces & soup for 4 people. It was enough food but we also took some entrees, if we had not it might have not been enough.
After ordering, we waited an hour for our food. We were disappointed, as we were very much looking forward to our first experience at Maiko. The food was excellent, but the quality of the service diminished our experience.
We had not been to Maiko Sushi in quite a number of years. We had remembered it being quite good, but we were very disappointed last night. Although the food quality was indeed exceptional, & beautifully presented, everything else was pretty much a fail. The place is too noisy to carry on a proper conversation, with the back beat of the music adding to an already crowded restaurant, & the tables are placed so close together that the diners & servers could hardly pass through. In fact, our server had to interrupt taking our orders to let others pass by. Then there was the extreme tardiness of the service. It took 45 minutes for even our first courses to arrive, & about 90 minutes for the main course, by which time we were all very hungry. What truly disappointed me is that, despite the inordinate wait that at that pretty much negated how good the food itself was, no one offered anything to us to express a small token of gratitude for our patience. It though that this was very poor customer relations.
Maiko sushi is a Montreal's living culinary institution since 25 years ago. It is a family business that takes so much care to every detail in the food & the restaurant. Food variety & quality is what bring us back every time, & we leave feeling great about the quality of their service. The restaurant is more on the noisy side as it is often full, in spite of their high ceilings. Just a minor detail.
