Reviews consistently highlight Saiko for extremely fresh fish, excellent sushi options, and a warm, friendly atmosphere with attentive service. The Omakase experience is described as fantastic, and several guests praise the staff for accommodating severe dietary restrictions, including gluten-free requests, with careful cross-checks. The overall experience is regarded as among the best sushi in Montreal and Laval, with good value and a varied menu that keeps things interesting. A few notes mention slower service when the restaurant is busy, but the quality of food and the inviting vibe remain strong, and many say it is worth a trip off the walking street.
I have a sushi Omakase experience pretty much every city I travel to for work, & this was fantastic. Get off the walking street & come to this place, as it is the best sushi I have ever had in Montreal. Bravo!
Absolutely amazing ambiance, service & food. We found them on google & decided to try as it wass walking distance from our hotel. So happy we did. Very delicious food.
My friends & I wanted to grab a bite somewhere quiet. We were cosplaying for the Otakuthon convention nearby & we were handled with care & without judgement, which was appreciated.
I got the takoyakis, a chicken yaki, plus a gin yuzu. Everything was absolutely delicious. We were all very happy & enjoyed our experience!

The sushi was extremely fresh, the options varied, & the ambiance pleasant. Only downside was there was only 2 servers for the entire restaurant, which made service slightly slower.
But the food was awesome, would definitely return!
Had a girl's night at Saiko sushi on a Wednesday night.
Each of us have a sushi - chef choice $38 sorry I forgot the name. But it was the fresh catch of the day. With rice under & surrounding by fresh avocados. It was really good! Super fresh, I feel the sashimi I can have a lot of them 😁
& we have added a beef yaki. The beef was not tender enough. however the teriyaki sauce is amazing!
5/5 for service. I have asked for gluten free soy sauce. The server did one step ahead by confirming if it is in allergy & made sure all my food are gluten free, & especially got me the teriyaki sauce gluten free as well
Missing one point is only because the beef was not tender.
Btw if you like Riesling , they have amazing Riesling $13/ glass. I like it sweet, & this one served in the restaurant exactly good sweetness
J'ai adoré la cuisine ! & le service est très convivial. Seul petit hic, l'attente des plats était un peu longue mais nous étions nombreux & ils voulaient nous servir tous en même temps.
