So delicious! Nice to have a real sushi place, with a simple menu. Reminds me of Japan!

Decided to give this place a try the other night and was pleasantly surprised! Honestly, this was probably the best sushi I have had in Langford (which isn’t exactly a high-bar). Tuna and toro nigiri were large and had great flavour and texture. The Tamago was near perfect. Everything was nicely sized and well priced. Very good value and it tasted great!
Definitely need a few more visits to explore the rest of the menu, but give this place a shot.

I just finish my dinner with my friends and the guy from the restaurant have a really bad attitude to the costumers and he didn’t do a good service. And then he push me when I told him his service is bad.

excellent sushi, tasty and perfect temperate, very fair prices. Creative menu and flexible to allergies, etc. Just don't expect too much chit chat. The owner is busy (solo), so read the menu and get your order in. We were very happy with our food. One of the top two in Langford.

A small gem! I ordered a roll and a few nigiri’s. I think the shop just opened so the nigiri’s were still a bit cold from the freezer, but once it was at room temperature it was soooo good. I go to Japan about twice a year and this was a little taste of it.
Highly recommend if you’re passing through.

my absolute favourite sushi place!!! i've been going here since 2017 and whenever my friends wanna go out for sushi i do everything i can to make them go here. nice, quiet little spot with beautiful decorations. absolutely delicious food for fantastic prices, and the man who runs the place does such an amazing job doing it entirely by himself (taking orders AND making and serving the food). i pray this place never shuts down, i'd be so devastated. the wait time is so worth it
Amazing food, large portions & great staff. The setting/furniture is also quite nice there. Would recommend to absolutely everybody

I love the attention to details at Maiko. The food is simple, authentic, and very very fresh. The prices are also super affordable. Props to the chef running the show, you can tell that there is a lot of love and care that goes into his food!

I live close and I really like this place. The gentleman running the show is a champion! The sushi is good and the prices keep me coming back! Good chow, good value!

If you’re looking for fresh (and super cheap) sushi, incredible miso soup, and a side order of emotional whiplash, then Maiko Sushi is the spot for you. Hidden behind a dimly lit “SUSHI” sign that looks like it’s on life support, this restaurant offers a dining experience that is equal parts delicious and deeply bewildering. When my family of 5 and I walked in, there was no music, no vibe, and no sign of life — except a lone man who peeked out from behind a curtain, silently motioning for us to sit. It felt like he was very annoyed we were there. The man (chef? owner?) clearly runs the entire operation solo. He seemed mildly offended by our existence but committed to feeding us anyway. When we hesitated on our order, his visible annoyance was palpable. He didn’t take a drink order and later informed us that our order was “too big” for individual plates, so it would arrive on one massive communal platter “because faster.” Fair enough. My dad had to ask for side plates; the man huffed, disappeared, and returned with exactly one of the tiniest side plates in existence and dropped it in front of my dad without a word. At this point, we were giggling uncontrollably, convinced we were on a hidden-camera show. Halfway through, a group of three entered the empty restaurant. The man emerged, declared “No, I’m busy. Come back in 45–50 minutes,” and sent them away. Later, my brother committed the cardinal sin of trying to politely get his attention by poking his head into the back and was met with a furious “GET OUT! YOU CAN’T BE IN HERE!” complete with what we assume was some expressive swearing in his native tongue. My brother returned to the table like a beaten child. Despite everything — or maybe because of it — we had a fun time. The sushi was delicious, the tea (served 45 minutes late and hot enough to melt steel) was memorable, and the whole experience was the kind of family bonding money can’t buy. Would I go back? Maybe… but only with people I love deeply or those I wish mild suffering upon. Would I recommend it? Absolutely — to my enemies, or anyone who enjoys their dinner with a side of chaos and laughter.
