Review Summary

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!

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.
