Great night out. Went for twins 12th Birthday celebration and they were fantastic. The Hibachi chef was excellent and cooked us a great meal. These were 10 of us and he made sure we had plenty to eat and all cooked to perfection

I am a fan of Saiko-I. The food, the taste, the place, the service always were simply awesome; but yesterday at night during my dinner with my fiancee, we saw a very disgraceful scene in the hosting area; when a restaurant's manager with a very...aggressive attitude was screamed against some customers, apparently because their were claiming some bad behaviors and discrimination of this manager. Never see something like this in this great place to eat. Definitely, this issue is making a bad reputation for Saiko-I, and we are thinking in come back there, at least they do not expose anymore this bad attitude to us, the customers. Hoping they can fix this, so it never happen s again.More
Poor management, unsmiling staff and terrible food. What a disappointment. The management stands around doing nothing, while the staff forgets the soup and salad. When you remind them only half the salads are brought out. the Hibachi "show" is the worst I have ever seen....The quality of the steak is not good at all. Overall and expensive disappointment. A total waste of time and money.More
Consistently excellent food and as importantly excellent service. The atmosphere is great. We have been coming for years and they seem to have nailed the art of good service.
I am so surprised this place had so many good reviews. The atmosphere was great. We sat on the outside terrace. The food on the other hand was very mediocre. I had the Tom yum seafood soup was very good. I also ordered the lobster...bomb sushi roll. The fried lobster pieces had no flavor. The sushi pieces also had no flavor. Very bland. We also ordered the volcano fried rice which was good. But the volcano rice is supposed to be served with fire on the dish but the restaurant didn’t have the fire available. The happy hour drinks were also watered down. For the price, this place place is not worth it. I will not be back. It’s a shame because it’s a nice restaurant.More
Horrible! While in bathroom I witnessed a kitchen worker use the urinal and walk out without washing his hands. I told the manager, canceled my order and left. I will never go there again. I wrote an email to owner and other manager- no response...from either. This is a real reviewMore
Great atmosphere, service, and food. We tried a pretty good variety of food including, jumbo scallops, Saiko- I sashimi (fantastic) Toro 2 ways, and several of the rolls. All was amazing, The taste was great, and the presentations were fabulous. Definitely high end, and also...pricey, but worth it for a date night of special occasion. I can still taste the sashimi. Excellent.More
I’ve been here several times and usually the experience was recently good. We came here for my daughter’s birthday. And from the beginning I realized that they were going to be adding on the gratuity. The waitress was horrible and acted like she did not...wanna be there. All she cared about was adding on the little extras. It took 15 minutes to get drinks. I had to ask four times to get chopsticks. And normally when you go to hibachi restaurant the chef puts on a bit of a show. They did the absolute minimum. At no time did they ever come to refill drinks. The “Fried “ rice had a little egg and Nothing else. Even at the end the night after a mediocre dinner and poor service it took 15 minutes to get the check. I was 100% sure that they were adding on their gratuity because they clearly couldn’t care less. I was 100% correct because clearly they didn’t gratuity. I’m not going back. BEWAREMore
Food was good, but what a huge noisy place! Service was standard. Not bad. Not great. Altogether my first and last visit.
We spent New Year's Eve here, I'm glad there wasn't a special prix fixe menu, we selected options from the kitchen, sushi bar and hibachi station. Huge attractive restaurant with many hibachi tables, a large sushi bar, full bar area and outdoor tables in a...strip mall. The large restaurant was bright and cheerful, it would be a nice location for groups. They have a very nice extensive menu, there was a lot to choose from. Service was friendly & attentive. There was plenty of parking. With Covid we were able to sit in a quiet comfortable booth off to the side. There was an extensive drink menu. I had a glass a sake, it was okay. My husband & friend tried signature cocktails. The lychee martini was beautifully served and my husband enjoyed his pineapple drink with ginger beer. Our friends enjoyed their hibachi dinners with soup, salad, fried rice, veggies & proteins, potions were so large that they brought a meal home. Their dinner had large shrimp, pieces of steak and chicken. We shared a half a Peking duck & the tri color sushi platter. The duck came with hoisin sauce, 5 Mandarian pancakes, shredded carrots and scallions. The duck was lean, the skin was crisp and the meat was juicy. Our plate came with 5 tuna, 5 salmon and 5 yellow fin pieces of sushi with ginger and wasabi. Everything was fresh & delicious.More
If you are looking for a Asian fusion restaurant, this is the spot. There is sushi and hibachi options for everyone. The hostess were so kind and helpful. My server was so sweet and checked up on us constantly to make sure we were satisfied....The food was amazing too. I would definitely come back and bring all my friends.More
Combining both Sushi bar and Hibachi, Saiko-i offers what Americans consider both of the two most popular Japanese approaches to their cuisine. They do both really well, as no one else in Boca does. We enjoy eating outside behind the bar. Saiko-I has made the...most of the pandemic, expanding their al fresco capacity. We started with edamame accompanying our hot sake. We ordered eel in addition to the sushi and sashimi combination, 5 different fish sushi, 8 pieces of sushi roll, and 12 pieces of sashimi. Carolyn was our delightful server. Friendly and efficient, Carolyn enhanced our meal with her personality. Parking is convenient and the bill is not expensive for Japanese food. Really good place, and keeps getting better over the years.More
Food was good and a tad bit entertaining..But I did not like that they added a 20% gratuity that if you did not check it close you could easily add the recommended % gratuity that’s right above where you sign… on top of that. It’s...a surcharge or price increase or fee if a restaurant just automatically adds on a tip. I don’t think highly of any place that does this. I pointed it out to the manager but only got a “yes we did” in essence response. That’s enough to keep me away ..$265 bill. I’m in town 10 days every 3 months and our family goes out to eat a few times. Next time I’ll go a few doors down to Nonna’s.More
This is the first time I can remember not leaving a tip for wait staff. We decided to try some sushi while in Florida on vacation. The sushi was amazing, but the service was the worst I have ever had. I told the waitress not...to forget about us when our drink glasses were empty the first time. She forgot about us. It took 20 minutes for her to come back with our drinks and to take our order after that. She forgot one of our sushi orders. We went to the bar 3 times to get drinks. You would think the bartender would get involved to fix the issue as he brought the drinks to our table all 3 times. We waited for the waitress to come by our table for at least 20 minutes to ask for our check, even though she stopped by the table next to us 4 times and would not look over at us. Finally another waitress asked us if everything was okay. We told her we were trying to get our check and our waitress forgot about us. She was very apologetic. This other waitress brought the check and took my credit card. Our waitress brought the credit card receipt back and thanked us. Roughly $200 tab and no tip. She told me the tip was not included. Unfortunately she brought this up and got a detailed explanation of how she forgot about us. Service like this in not acceptable, especially in a nice restaurant.More
0 stars horrible place. We made an 8 oclock reservation. When arrived they said 10 mn wait. We waited 45 mn. When asked the girls in the front desk were so rude. They said sorry we cant seat you. Whats the point of the reservation...than. No apologies. Management sucks. The girls are useless and so mean. Ruined our night. Horrible management. Never going back.More
