I've eaten here twice now and both times the sushi has been great! We've tried about 15 different rolls and have yet to be disappointed. The service is really attentive and brings the food out fast.

One of the most decent sushi places in Montreal. The quality of food is good (love coraille de thon and maiko salad), ambiance is OK (terrace is lovely). Service is pretty good. Prices OK.

Yeah, I don't recommend this place. For such a high end sushi place that should be importing their fish (I mean that's why I'm paying so much for it, right?), how can you not have toro or some good fatty salmon. I don't get it. I think this place is concentrating on being fusion. If so, let's take the "sushi" out of the name. I have to agree with the others here, the fish is what you grade when a Japanese place calls themselves a sushi place.
As for what we had...
Agadashi Tofu, good, can't complain. Beef Sashimi, skimpy, but wrap less veggies, shake off the sauce if you want to taste the beef more. Now comes the sushi. Yellowtail was good, best stuff there. Tuna, not bad, clean fresh, nice rich color. Salmon was about the same, not the highest quality I've had though. Uni was a stinker. Don't mask old pieces of uni with newer. Some people can tell the difference. Not cool. As for the rolls. I'm not the biggest fan, but we ordered one. Forgot the name, but it was cooked, deep fried actually and inside was salmon. it was good in flavor.
Overall, I won't be coming back when I revisit Montreal. I'll be hitting other places so maybe I in the end I'll say what others are saying "It's the best sushi in Montreal." I'm hoping not. Montreal has some good eats. -

I haven't been back in a year (since 2010), but Maiko remains my favourite sushi restaurant. Pricey yes, but worth it.
The plates are beautiful, and the service is very nice.
I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea, and I like a good all you can eat buffet as well, but this is a place you go on a special date, or with great friends for a nice time out. -

No seriously. This is not sushi, this is some sort of Montreal fusion sushi-lookalike.

By not giving Maiko a whole bunch of stars i feel like im desecrating holy Montreal ground. I had heard from a number of people that Maiko is THE place for Japense but it left me disappointed.
Honestly i dont care overly much about service, ambiance or price (All of which Maiko has in spades) - just let me taste excellent food. When it comes to Japanese Sashimi is the yard stick for quality and in this case it was dry and slightly rubbery. I am seriously hoping I was just unlucky but i've had better for a lot less even in quality Japanese staved Montreal (eg. Azuma nearby on St-Laurent)
On the plus side the Miso was awesome, the Rolls quite special and desert was definitely of 4 star quality.
Until my next visit: a slightly sad face for Maiko -

I was in montreal recently for work and this place was right next door to my hotel. A bit on the pricey side, so if i didn't have a per diem i'm not sure i'd eat here. The food however was great. I tried several of the specialty rolls and all were delicious. I liked the place so much i ate there twice. (i try to eat at as many different places as possible when i'm traveling, so i rarely eat at the same place twice.)

This is right down my street, but I went because EVERYONE tells me it is the BEST place in Montreal. This comes with the disclaimer that although there are alot of sushi joints -- but not alot of good ones. This is my second sushi place in Montreal, and it was really good. The sashimi was excellent -- yellow tail, salmon, tuna -- the rolls are good and BIG and very creative. The unagi and octopus were also good. We had a few appetizers and the scallop one was heavenly.
It wasn't cheap, but worth it. I would definitely go back! -

It's not cheap but it's the best sushi in Montreal bar none. Now you might be saying that Montreal isn't exactly known for its sushi and you'd be right with that qualification. I used to think Sho-Dan was the best but I think it's gone down in quality over the years while Maiko is consistently good (and slightly cheaper than Sho-Dan). The interior is tastefully decorated and the sushi platters are beautifully arranged and decorated. My only gripe is that service can occasionally be excessively slow but I guess that makes sense considering how crowded it always is.

Not the greatest sushi place I've eaten at! I went on the recommendation of the hotel staff where I was staying. The service was nice, especially the warm cloth brought over by the waiter to wash my hands and face just prior to having dinner. The presentation was excellent too but the sushi was thinly sliced and lacked the phenomenal taste that I have become accustomed to. I will not be back to this establishment during my next visit to Montreal.

Great food, decent service. Keep in mind that they don't give free refills on soda. Large selection of sushi but plenty of other stuff to choose from if you bring someone who doesnt eat sushi. Also, there will be an outdoor seating part soon!
