Review Summary

Saiko is widely regarded as a top-tier destination for sushi in Montreal, offering exceptionally fresh fish, authentic Japanese dishes, and an outstanding omakase experience. Guests consistently praise the friendly atmosphere and the attentive service, noting that the staff is particularly skilled at accommodating severe dietary restrictions like celiac disease with great care. While the dining environment is described as pleasant and welcoming for various occasions, minor feedback mentions that service can occasionally be slow during busy periods and that certain meat dishes may vary in tenderness. Overall, the combination of delicious food, reasonable pricing, and high quality makes it a highly recommended spot for both locals and visitors.

Descent sushi, not a lot of selection on the menu. The quality & price of the meals are reasonable in my opinion. Not a particular aesthetic restaurant & was pretty empty on a Thursday evening
