Description

Saikou in Timaru delivers consistently excellent Japanese-inspired dining with refined cocktails, standout dishes (gyoza, teriyaki salmon, chicken sushi, seared tuna) and inventive small plates like salt-and-pepper tofu. Attentive, personable staff and a cosy, upscale-casual atmosphere make it ideal for date nights and special evenings. Wheelchair access is available via the south entrance. Portions can run modest and desserts are occasionally uneven, but the food, service and vibe keep locals and visitors returning.
