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.

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.
On a adoré tout ce que ce petit restaurant fait. Vous pouvez manger sur place ou apportez. C'est vraiment un petit restaurant mais tout est frais & délicieux
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!

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.
En dehors de la bonne cuisine, ils ont du personnel poli qui sait être gentil. Ils respectent les personnes, pas seulement l'argent, & cela les différencie de nombreux restaurants. De plus, l'intérieur semble spacieux & propre.
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!
Meilleurs sushis à vie. Nous étions 4 & avons pu ainsi explorer le menu & avons littéralement adoré. J'ai voyagé. & que dire du dessert hors menu, sundae mochi. Merci, merci, merci.
Trying to find a sushi place BYW, we found this gem, small, quaint sushi restaurant in Laval. The food was excellent, amazing flavours & great service. You gained two loyal customers, & definitely we will be back soon. Everything was delicious! 😋
