Reviewers consistently rate Saiko as offering exceptionally fresh, high quality sushi with flavorful, beautifully presented rolls and sashimi. Many note the BYOB option and the intimate, cozy setting that feels like a small neighborhood gem in Laval. Service is widely praised as impeccable, friendly, and attentive, though a few mentions of slower pace during busy times acknowledge the kitchen's careful preparation. The menu is celebrated for creativity and consistency, with favorites noted across visits and takeout described as excellent. Many guests describe the fish as incredibly fresh, with some calling it the best sushi in Laval or the Montreal area and praising the delicate textures. Reservations are advised on weekends due to the small space and popularity. Allergen friendly notes are appreciated, with gluten awareness mentioned in at least one review. Overall, Saiko is described as a hidden gem, a reliable destination for celebratory meals, casual dinners, and special occasions. Diners repeatedly express a desire to return soon, citing excellent value and ongoing high quality.
Bring your own wine or sake! Beautiful presentation & great food! The quality is there. The sushi is fresh & tasty. The service is a little slow but the food is delicious!
Mes meilleurs sushis en 25 ans. ;0)
Ambiance intime de petit resto de cartier.
Des maîtres en confection de sushis. Un délice autant pour les yeux que pour les papilles. Vous vous sentirez presque coupables de voir disparaître ces petites oeuvres d'art éphémères de votre assiette, …jusqu'à la première bouchée. Des perfectionnistes.
Longue vie!!
Overall we had an absolutely amazing experience! We were so excited to try a new local sushi place close to home. The service was incredible the staff is very friendly & accommodating. The sushi was very fresh & was served fast. This place is an absolute must try we will definitely be coming back!

Une voisine m'a recommandé ce restaurant de sushi. J'ai commandé & j'ai adoré, qualité, originalité, plus envie d'aller nulle part ailleurs, c'est délicieux !!!! Je recommande !
It's very rare that I give reviews but this restaurant deserves all the praise it can get!!!
I ordered pick up tonight & honestly, not only were the sushi amazing, the lady took the time to specify on each package which one was gluten & which one wasn't. It is honestly the best sushi I've ever had, in terms of quality & freshness. I would 100% recommend this place!!
We had a reservation for two, but our son decided to join last minute. The staff couldn't have been kinder, they quickly rearranged things to fit us in. The food was incredible! The tempura was the best I've ever had, & the La Belle & La Bête was unforgettable. It's a cozy boutique sushi spot, so definitely make a reservation.. it's popular for a reason!
Excellent food. The fish tasted very fresh & I like that their sushi rolls had a decent ratio between fish & rice (less rice compared to most other places, which I really like). Overall would recommend & come back.

This was our second time at Saiko & it did not disappoint.
Outstanding is an understatement.
Extremely fresh & delicate sashimi to interesting complex makis were served .
Our waiter Kim was very friendly & professional.
Possibly the best sushi dinner this year.
Looking forward to the next time
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.
Outstanding sushi-fresh, flavorful, & melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The service was warm & friendly, making the experience even better. A must-visit spot!
