About

Saiko delivers a focused selection of traditional Japanese staples centered on the art of sushi preparation. The menu emphasizes raw fish quality through precise knife work and consistent grain texture in rice seasoning. Patrons encounter a variety of nigiri, sashimi, and maki rolls that showcase standard flavor profiles typical of regional Asian culinary traditions. The preparation style prioritizes structural integrity and balance, ensuring that ingredients remain the primary focus of each piece. Minimalist plating techniques highlight the natural aesthetics of the seafood and seasonal garnishes provided. By concentrating on technical proficiency rather than excessive ornamentation, the kitchen maintains a predictable standard for those seeking core Japanese preparations in a functional setting. This approach provides a straightforward interaction with established raw fish techniques and staple culinary practices found within the broader regional category.

Excellent sushi! 10/10 recommend coming & trying out their specialty rolls. The st Dorothy , Deluxe , & Saiko rolls are amazing! The plate presentation is also very nice. Service is slow but we did not care because the quality of the sushi was excellent.

I've been in Canada for more than seven years now & I've tried so many sushi restaurants. I have to say that this one became my favorite. The quality is amazing & it's real Japanese food. Chirashi bowl to die for! I hope they keep the same quality.

Small resto sushi, but you won't regret the quality & the taste. My son gives 10 out of 10. Excellent.

I order from this restaurant quite often & have been a regular customer ever since I discovered Saiko more than a year ago. I did not expect to find such an incredible sushi restaurant in Laval. Since discovering Saiko in Laval, I refuse to order sushi or sashimi anywhere else. It is simply the best sushi restaurant. Staff at this restaurant are always friendly & accomodating. Prices & portions are very reasonable & the menu offerings are not overpriced like at many other sushi restaurants I have been to. Service at Saiko has always been punctual & orders were always ready on time for pickup. The sushi rolls & sashimi on the menu are beautifully crafted & delicious. They resemble artwork. Sushi & sashimi are always made with the freshest & tastiest seafood & ingredients. Of course, the emphasis is on the freshness of the ingredients. In addition to this, Saiko excels at every aspect of sushi & sashimi creation. Perfect ingredient pairings & flavor combinations used in sushi rolls & sashimi platters at Saiko demonstrate the ability of the chefs to understand different cuts & types of fish. Sushi & sashimi flavor & quality at this restaurant are on par with, if not better than, some of the best & most expensive sushi restaurants I have been to in NYC. I highly recommend the Chirashi platter, the Ste Dorothée roll, the Saiko roll, the organic salmon nigiri/sashimi & the aburi nigiri/sashimi offerings. I truly hope that Saiko in Laval will continue to be with us for many, many years to come & continue to maintain its superb food & service.
