Saiko Bistrot Izakaya

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 and surrounding by fresh avocados. It was really good! Super fresh, I feel the sashimi I can have a lot of them 😁 And 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 and made sure all my food are gluten free, and 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, and this one served in the restaurant exactly good sweetness

Amazing experience. Food was hand-picked by the chef 👨‍🍳 fresh. The team at the restaurant is very welcoming, great host, brilliant recommendations, and even a better host. 🍸🥂🥃🍣🦪🍨 Conveniently located downtown Montreal Have a meal or take off the edge after a long day with a drink Classy place ❤️👍

I’m a regular customer at this restaurant, because I like their food. Unfortunately, today I went there under the rain and with my two kids and family without a reservation, the so called manager told me he is going to set us up on a good table, the table he gave us had no lights above, I asked politely if they can move us to another table or provide some lights, he only provided us with one small light that cannot light up cup, I asked for more lights, but the manager answered impolitely that “this is the best I can give you otherwise, you can leave” he didn’t respect us, didn’t respect the fact that I was there with my kids and it was raining outside. I really got disappointed and I left. And I will not consider going back to this place. Respect! Respect! Respect!

My wife and I dropped in to Saiko just before they closed for the night. They were very welcoming and accommodating. We loved the atmosphere and the team there and we had a couple of drinks before we moved on. Next time we are in Montreal we will return a bit earlier and have the full experience. Thank you for being so accommodating.

We went to Saiko Bistrot on a tuesday night for my boyfriend's 25th birthday. He ordered the nigiri omakase and I ordered the complete omakase, which includes the 10 nigiri, 2 entrées, a soup and a piece of cake, and we shared everything. Warning : the prices that are displayed on the restaurant webpage are from 2020 and are not up to date. We payed 80$ for the nigiri omakase and 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 and selected with care by the chef. We sat by the bar, and the chef prepared each piece in front of us, asking us what we preferred and 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 and 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 and it was delicious. Then, the 10 nigiri were delicious : we had salmon, yellow tail tuna, shrimp, wagyu beef, eel... And 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, and the omakase takes quite some time : we got there at 7, and 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.

I’ve never been a fan of paying for à la carte sushi restaurant, but Saiko completely changed my perspective—mind blown! The sushi was so good, it’s 100% worth the price. I’m already making my next plan to come back here lol. Immaculate service, I can tell the owner really love their team and customers! ✨❤️

We received a bottle of sake on the house and a little cake as it was my mother's birthday. Quite a nice place. I'd love to come back for their omakase option. A little disappointed in the chef's choice platter, as I've seen people receive plates with higher quality nigiris. I ordered a cocktail that was quite nice. It wasn't very strong, which is what I like, but that may not be the same for others. A staff member spilled a sauce, but was quick to clean up at least.

I discovered this sushi place by recommendation. It was worth the try. We ordered the Nigiri Omakaze, and the chef prepared us freshly prepared Nigiri and some personalized ones not from the menu. They were some of the best that I've tasted in Montreal. We really enjoyed this experience, and we'll definitely come back!
