Review Summary

Jako is described as a cozy, bustling fusion spot offering Korean and Japanese flavors with generous portions and flavorful dishes like bulgogi dolsot, chicken katsu with cream sauce and mushrooms, tteokkochi, and creamy seafood yaki udon, but there are occasional misses such as bland beef donburi, overly oily tempura donburi, or a dolsot that is too sweet or too salty; the overall impression highlights delicious food, friendly and attentive service, and good value, with reservations often advised as it can get busy and seating is compact, while the warm ambiance and neon lights enhance the experience and many reviewers express a desire to return to explore more menu items.

Craving for the chicken katsu for a long time & I've been told by my brother that there's a good chicken katsu restaurant near the Guy-Concordia Metro. Tried to give it a go 2 days ago & the server told us that it was full for 3 person & I need to book or wait 45 minutes almost one hour. Decided to went back yesterday & make a reservation. The place is okay & still has a big room to walk around comfortably. I ordered a curry chicken katsu with the other orders. The chicken katsu menu also comes with the soup for free & it's enough to fill our stomach since the waiting for the food to come out is long, but it was worth it. The chicken katsu is really good. The brown sauce is really good when paired with the whole meal. The cheese katsu is creamy, delicious & the representation is unique. Overall it's worth it to make a reservation & wait a little bit long for the food.

The food was ok but they were kind of expensive. We liked the fried rice cake appetizer the most along with the others. The chicken thigh udon bowl was ok but the flavor was not for me. Just a suggestion, in the shrimp tempura bowl, there should be more than 2 pieces of shrips in it.

Good food with decent prices, although the portions seem to have gotten smaller recently. My boyfriend & I usually go for the creamy chicken Katsu & the Sake Don (salmon Donburi); we enjoy it every time. I also tried the creamy Yaki Udon with seafood, which was spicy but nonetheless, super yummy. The staff is very nice & courteous. The place seems to be very busy every time we go, so a reservation would be recommended if you don't want to wait in line.

Tried the chicken sandwich for lunch & seafood sundubu, the sundubu was a bit too spicy for my taste but the chicken sando was excellent!

Nice place with decent food. Good prices & good portions. It's a bit loud during peak hours but otherwise a solid place. The Korean fried chicken & the Gyuu-don were good, but the chicken Katsu with cream is not great if you're used to the likes of Katsuya. Service is solid, they refill your water & don't disturb you with questions. Does get busy, call ahead for dinners.
