Saiko Bistrot Izakaya - Montreal, Quebec

It’s one of the most fresh and delightful Japanese dishes I have ever tasted. Not only it’s authentic, the food is well matched with each other. Will definitely come back again.

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

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. Read more

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! Read more

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. Read more
