Overview

A Hidden Gem in Timaru

So, I stumbled upon this spot called Saikou in Timaru, right in the bustling heart of the CBD. Honestly, walking in felt like stepping into a cozy, vibrant bar where the energy buzzes! I mean, if you’re a fan of Asian fusion food, this place might just tickle your taste buds.

Right off the bat, the staff are super friendly—like, genuinely helpful. I had the gyoza, and wow, those dumplings were something else! They’re light, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Plus, I couldn’t help but notice their impressive whisky selection. Honestly, they have something for everyone, and it’s all about sharing those little plates.

With over 270 reviews and a solid 4.5 rating, it seems like I’m not the only one raving about it! You can pop in for lunch or dinner, but be warned—it’s popular! Reservations are a good idea, especially on the weekends.

Got a sweet tooth? Don’t miss their yuzu cheesecake. Just a heads up, though; if you’re worried about portion sizes, maybe start with one or two small plates. Trust me, you don’t want to end up with more food than you can handle!

Whether you’re swinging by for a casual dinner with friends or just in need of a cozy spot to unwind after a long day, Saikou is a delightful choice. You’ll definitely want to check it out next time you’re in Timaru!
