Review Summary

Saiko is widely regarded as a premier destination for high quality sushi in Montreal, offering an authentic Japanese dining experience that impresses visitors and locals alike. Guests consistently praise the exceptional freshness of the fish, the skilled Omakase offerings, and the accommodating nature of the staff toward dietary restrictions. While the atmosphere is frequently described as friendly and pleasant, occasional reports of slower service due to limited staffing have been noted, though the overall consensus remains overwhelmingly positive regarding both the food and the welcoming environment.

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
