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
