Saiko Sake and Sushi Bar

We came here for happy hour while on vacation in San Diego with friends. The food was really great. We had mostly happy hour specials, but did order some things off the regular menu, and we thought the prices were reasonable on everything. We sat in the bar area, and the bartender Michelle took great care of us. She was very friendly and helped guide us to some tasty items, and her drinks were fabulous! I really enjoyed the Dirty Talk Martini, which was her creation. Would highly recommend this place!

One of my favorite restaurants in San Diego. The service here alone is enough to warrant a visit. I have a very mild food allergy and the sushi bar and staff went out of their way to accommodate me. The food is always so good. Great, creative rolls with amazing fresh fish. So delicious. They were really understaffed during our visit and still made a point to be so kind and serve us an amazing dinner.

Some of the best Sushi in Southern California. Last night we did an event having Anthony the owner / chef present with 2 guests talking about the fish we were eating and the sake we were drinking. I would highly recommend trying both locations and attending one of these dinner events.

Came here for dinner on a Thursday night around 730 - will have to come back for happy hour! The food and drinks were great and the waitresses were really nice and gave great recommendations. We had the fruity sake flight which was really good and the Saiko nigiri flight special which came with 5 different kinds of fish. The house edamame is seasoned well and the ritual roll was unique and had chimichurri, definitely recommend! We ended the meal with ice cream and to my surprise, the eel was my favorite! I don't usually like eel sauce but it wasn't fishy at all and the saltiness went well with the sweet ice cream 😊

Not sure why I haven't done a review sooner, ad I've LOVED this place for years. Traditional sushi gets NO better than at Saiko. Chef Anthony is amazing and knows what he's doing, so even the modern stuff will impress. Of course the Sake is top notch and thier flights let you sample, sample, sample! Atmosphere 10/10, service 12/10, food 15/10

Delicious sushi and sashimi at a price. Went for dinner and ordered food and drinks. Most notable items: Sushi was delicious and a wide variety of specials to your taste Sashimi: super good but pricey, the chef special are especially tasty but smaller portions for their price in my opinion Sake flight: lots of nice options and very reasonable price Based on price point you may want to order differently though all the food was great.

First time here. Had a few drinks and some sushi rolls. They were good. Nothing crazy but it’s definitely a place I would come back. The ambience was really nice too. The servers were great. Located on the main street of North Park. I do recommend.

Great happy hour! Go early and take advantage of it. I loved all the rolls we ordered and the sake flights were excellent as well. I've never tried so many types of sake in one sitting. Service was top notch also.
