Review Summary

Jako is a popular downtown destination known for its authentic and creative Korean-Japanese fusion cuisine. Diners frequently praise the bold flavors and generous portions of signature dishes like the bulgogi dolsot, various katsu options, and flavorful udon bowls. The atmosphere is generally described as cozy, warm, and welcoming, making it an excellent spot for casual meals with friends or family. While the service is largely considered friendly, efficient, and attentive, the restaurant is often busy, so making a reservation in advance is highly recommended to ensure a table. Although most experiences are consistently positive, minor critiques occasionally mention the restaurant being loud, small table sizes, or specific dishes not meeting individual taste preferences.

Très bon restaurant coreen à montréal . Il ferme tard comparé aux autres. Bonne bouffe, bonne ambiance & surtout , bon service . Que demander de plus.

Dommage qu'il y n'a pas d'option Halal, j'aurai vraiment adoré essayer des plats aux poulet ou boeuf.

I was craving to eat something special in downtown after shopping.
After searching & searching I finally take a decision to try this restaurant!!!
Seeing that nearly 5 stars ⭐? I can't miss it.
We arrived at 17:00 we are first at the opening. I really like the decoration, service are excellent, I ask some recommendations of the menu.
I found the music are too loud for me , I can't relax & appreciate my meal 🥘
Meals are arrived fairly quickly, omg looks delicious, after first bite you can't stop.
The ratio rice vs meat & accompaniment are perfect balance.
Taste are very very good, not too salty
I surely comeback to try more dishes

A great spot for a quick lunch on a quieter part of downtown. There aren't too many vegetarian options on the menu but substitutions can be made to switch out meat. Presentation was very pretty. The portions for a single main are just right to be considered a full meal. This fusion restaurant blends Japanese specialties like tempura with Korean staples such as kimchi in a single Dolsat. The service was friendly & efficient. The interior is quite cozy. Groups would fit but probably not bigger than four.
