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.

The sushi & sashimi was absolutely delicious. Never tasted sushi that fresh!

Première expérience au Saiko Sushi & ce sont probablement les meilleurs sushis que nous avons mangés !

Nous avons commandé le combo sashimi, nigiri & maki pour 3-4 personnes, ainsi que le combo maxi pour 2 personnes. Nous étions une famille de 5 (2 parents & 3 enfants) & nous avons mangé à notre faim, tout en ayant encore quelques makis à rapporter à la maison.

Les makis sont très gros & vraiment bien garnis. Que dire des nigiris & des sashimis : ils étaient incroyables ! La fraîcheur était au rendez-vous & les nigiris m'ont particulièrement surpris. Le ratio poisson/riz était d'environ 3:1, avec un poisson très goûteux, c'était parfait!

Le service était très rapide & notre serveur était super gentil. Nous allons certainement revenir !

Honnêtement dans les meilleurs sushis que j'ai mangé depuis des années & certainement dans les meilleurs à Laval.

Service impeccable, présentations soignées, sushis excellent, fraîcheur du poisson excellente, endroit propre.

Définitivement les meilleurs Dragon eyes Sashimis & Kamikaze que j'ai mangé.

Had the pleasure of having dinner at Saiko for a family dinner celebrating a birthday tonight. It was my first time to this quaint little byob restaurant that impressed me a lot. The food was delicious, the sashimi was very fresh, the rolls were all exquisite & very tasty. The service was amazing & the staff very friendly. I feel lucky to have found a gem like this in Laval not too far from home. I will definitely be going back. I also noticed a lot of takeout so will for sure be ordering from there regularly from now on.

Our waiter Kim was very friendly & professional.
Possibly the best sushi dinner this year.
Looking forward to the next time

What a hidden little gem in St-Do! Food was amazing, very fresh & flavourful. Loved the quaint little space, open view of kitchen. Tried a lot of sushi & sashimis, all were delicious as was the rice & miso soup. Will definitely return.

Magnifique petit restaurant de quartier avec une atmosphère chaleureuse & un personnel accueillant. Les sushis/sashimis sont frais & excellents & les proportions sont bonnes. On voit qu'il y a un soucis du détail & de la recherche dans la présentation! Nous n'avons plus besoin d'aller au centre-ville lorsque nous avons envi de manger des sushis de qualité. Belle découverte, nous y retournerons c'est certain!

Best sushi I had in a long while, best presentation & service as well. I live a bit far but will be returning for sure; worth the detour! Had the sashimi lover combo & a maki combo for 2 & it was exquisite. A good mix of standard rolls & exceptional, stand out creations. It had been a while that I've seen every patron in a restaurant take photos of their food, but everyone here couldn't resist! It's just that pretty. & delicious. BYOB as well.

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.
