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.

I highly recommend Saiko when you're not in a hurry.

Food was excellent; service was friendly & accurate (i.e., got the order right), but it took quite a while to get our food even though the restaurant was mostly empty.

Délicieuse découverte au centre-ville. Je visitais ce restaurant pour le déjeuner, avec un confrère qui le recommandait.

Dès les premiers moments, on sent qu’on va passer un moment agréable. L’aménagement est réussi. L’ambiance est calme & élégante, mais sobre : on ne donne pas dans le tape à l’oeil.

Le menu du midi est très varié. Après une longue hésitation, car tout est bien tentant, j’ai commencé par la salade verte, qui était généreuse & agrémentée d’une excellente vinaigrette. J’ai enchaîné avec le chirashi, une sélection de sashimi servis sur un lit de riz assaisonné & entouré de fines lamelles d’avocat. On demeure dans le thème du sushi, mais l’assaisonnement donne un cachet très particulier. De plus, la présentation était tout simplement magnifique. Mon compagnon s’est déclaré ravi de la soupe miso & du poulet yaki.

Le service est d’une courtoisie impeccable & juste assez rapide pour permettre de retourner au boulot sans retard : on n’a pas toujours deux heures pour déjeuner.

Enfin, les prix sont très raisonnables pour une telle qualité : ma table d’hôte du midi était à 22 $.

Bref, j’ajoute une adresse à mon carnet.
