What an amazing restaurant with impeccable service! The food was to die for & so fresh.

We ordered a chicken katsu & there was a tiny piece of blood in it, so we just ate around it & didn't say anything. When the server took our plates to the back, he came back to apologize on behalf of the chef for the small piece of blood, & kindly gave us a big discount on our meal without us saying anything!

Would absolutely come back again!

It was a perfect experience. I went to the restaurant at 5 p.m., & since it was still early, there was no need to wait in line. The staff were very friendly & professional. We ordered fried chicken, Japanese okonomiyaki, beef stone pot bibimbap, & a beef rice bowl. The food was served quickly, & the portions were generous. My mother & I were so full that we still couldn't finish everything. After noticing that we had finished our meal, the server proactively brought us takeout boxes. The restaurant is just as excellent as it was a few years ago when I last visited.

Yaki Udon au bulgogi is really great, we will come back for that one. We weren't massive fans of the dolsot au Jeyuk, but it was good. The curry chicken katsu was also great.

I haven't been to Jako for a long time. A great Korean restaurant as I remembered. Went again today with a friend. Ordered three dishes to share. Sorry cannot remember the exact names, but they were fried chicken, dolsot with squid & fried Udon. They were all good, except a little bit salty. The fried chicken was amazing

Best Korean-Japanese fusion food in Montreal!
The service is impeccable, Sit & Anh are the best. Always get my chicken cream katsu even though my lactose intolerant self can't eat it, I still get it.
