Review Summary

Jako is described as a small, cozy Korean and Japanese fusion restaurant with a warm vibe and soft lighting. The food is repeatedly praised for being flavorful and generously portioned, with favorites like bulgogi dolsot, yaki udon, fried chicken, katsu with cream sauce, and sundubu; prices are considered affordable for the downtown area. Service is noted as attentive and friendly, often quick, with staff who offer good recommendations and even help with takeout when the meal is finished. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and unpretentious, a good setting for casual meals with friends or family, though the space can be a bit dark and the music loud at times, and a few dishes are described as overly salty or oily. Overall, reviews converge on a highly positive impression and a strong likelihood to return, with many urging reservations for peak times.

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.

The quality of the food is good. The recommendations online is on point. However, the katsu curry is not exactly syncing with the south Asian taste palate but it's something new. Not bad at all.
The porc Donburi & porc dalsot was kinda sweet though. Loved the chicken dalsot. Would definitely recommend it moving forward.

Went there for dinner. Cozy atmosphere. Music a bit too loud. But food is on point. Tried the chicken katsu curry. Chicken was fresh & the curry was simply delicious. Served with rice, mashed potatoes, & pickled ginger. Must try.

Was in town (from Toronto) for the weekend & looking for some Korean/Japanese eats. Glad we stumbled upon this place as it was a hidden gem. I'm a big guy & usually can eat quite a bit, but man...the portions here were huge that I actually had to pack some food to bring back to the hotel. We ordered the pork katsu rice (curry) & chicken katsu rice (cream) it was on point! The free miso soup was kinda bland & didn't have any real flavour to it. (August 10, 2024)

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.

A great restaurant if you're in a big group of people & no one can decide what to eat. Lots of variety. Portions are a good size. I personally really enjoyed my curry it came w mashed bpotatoes that tasted sweet & almost like vanilla which i thought was amazing!! Some of my friends found that something was missing flavour-wise, & after tasting their food I mostly disagree. I will say that the karaage was not very good.

Une expérience toute à fait exquise ! Un service irréprochable & surtout très rapide. Le donburi de boeuf est simplement une explosion culinaire, malgré ma déception sur la rupture de saumon ce soir je n'ai pas été déçue par cette incroyable découverte ! Le Katsu au curry est une merveille pour les papilles, tout ça pour un prix totalement abordable ! N'hésitez pas, foncez 😍
