Review Summary

Saiko earns praise for superb fish quality, fresh sushi and sashimi, with many calling it the best sushi in Montreal and even Laval, offered at a reasonable price. The atmosphere is described as amazing and the service friendly and attentive, with guests noting careful handling of dietary restrictions and gluten free options. Omakase experiences and chef selections are highlighted as wow moments, and the wine list, including a Riesling, receives compliments. The restaurant's location near the walking street and proximity to events like Otakuthon are mentioned as convenient. Some reviewers note a slower pace when the dining room is busy or a single server is on shift, and a beef dish was not as tender as hoped. Overall, the reviews point to Saiko as a reliable destination for authentic Japanese flavors, consistent quality, and a welcoming environment.

It's one of the most fresh & delightful Japanese dishes I have ever tasted. Not only it's authentic, the food is well matched with each other. Will definitely come back again.

We went to Saiko Bistrot on a tuesday night for my boyfriend's 25th birthday. He ordered the nigiri omakase & I ordered the complete omakase, which includes the 10 nigiri, 2 entrées, a soup & a piece of cake, & we shared everything. Warning : the prices that are displayed on the restaurant webpage are from 2020 & are not up to date. We payed 80$ for the nigiri omakase & 150$ for the complete one, which is twice the price from 2020. Apart from the surprise of the price, the food was really worth it. Every ingredient is sooo tasteful & selected with care by the chef. We sat by the bar, & the chef prepared each piece in front of us, asking us what we preferred & adapting depending on our answers. I'm not usually too much into japanese food, but this was incredible. Our entrées were 8 pieces of sashimi (salmon, tuna & scallop), followed by 3 pieces of grilled scallops with crab, that had such a nice crisp to them. The soup was served with 4 makis & it was delicious. Then, the 10 nigiri were delicious : we had salmon, yellow tail tuna, shrimp, wagyu beef, eel... & finally, for the dessert, we chose a yuzu cheesecake that was very good, even if the slice was thin. Worth noting that the restaurant closes at 9, & the omakase takes quite some time : we got there at 7, & finished eating at 9:15, rushing a little through the end. To sum up, it is quite expensive, but I've never been so happy to spend this amount of money on a restaurant, it is very worth it.

Saiko means the best. You name it as Japanese brasserie.
