The neon lights make you really feel like you are in a busy street in Asia & makes it so comfortable. The small tables however takes a bit away at that comfortable. The service was polite but they were not really friendly or welcoming. The food also took close to 30 minutes to serve. It was probably a busy night though. The food itself was great! I was surprised by the combination of flavours from Japanese cuisine & Korean cuisine. I usually find fusion restaurants to be a bit mediocre but this Japanese & Korean fusion had more creativity & the flavours complemented each other surprisingly well. Around 20$ for a plate which is acceptable, the portion is also decent.

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.

Je ne connaissais pas ce restaurant, mais j'avais un ami coréen en visite.

Je n'avais pas reservé un mercredi. Je vous conseille de le faire, c'est full! C'est bon signe!

Ça a pris 20 min avoir ma table & je ne regrette pas l'attente.

Tout etait super bon! Les prix vraiment raisonnables pour le centre-ville.

Mon amj coréen a bien aimé aussi! Il dit que c'est probablement plus une fusion (japonais coréen) que 100% coréen, mais dans tous les cas, je recommande & j'y retournerai.

Portions copieuses!

I've been going to Restaurant Jako since 2020, & it continues to be one of the best Japanese & Korean fusion restaurants I've ever been to. Every visit somehow tops the last - the food, the service, & the overall experience just keep getting better.

Two of my all-time favorite dishes are the bulgogi yaki udon & the chicken katsu with cream sauce, mushrooms, & onions - both are packed with flavor & perfectly cooked every time. You can tell they care about quality & consistency. The staff is always friendly & welcoming, & the cozy atmosphere makes it a great place to relax & enjoy an amazing meal.

Highly recommend this gem to anyone who appreciates authentic & delicious Japanese-Korean fusion cuisine!

Excellent restaurant fusion qui sert des plats aux inspirations asiatiques, j'ai fortement apprécié la cuisine qui était bonne & pour un prix raisonnable, le service était très bon aussi ! Je recommande de réserver à l'avance car le restaurant est assez petit & très populaire

I visited the JAKO restaurant in Montreal & it was incredibly good! The food & ambiance were excellent, & I was deeply impressed by the owner's kindness. I wish there were more fusion restaurants like this in Toronto. Highly recommended!

J'ai visité le restaurant JAKO à Montréal & c'était incroyablement bon ! La nourriture & l'ambiance étaient excellentes, & j'ai été profondément impressionné par la gentillesse du propriétaire. J'aimerais qu'il y ait plus de restaurants fusion comme celui-ci à Toronto. Je le recommande vivement

You won't believe the culinary delight we experienced at Jako, the ultimate Japanese-Korean fusion gem in Montreal! We dropped in for after party & were greeted by two delightful servers. & the manager? Talk about setting the perfect culinary hype tone!

The restaurant's ambiance was an exciting Korean culture & vibrant energy. Each item on the menu was a culinary masterpiece, Utterly impeccable! They pampered our group, making us feel like we were partying with dear pals. Seriously, this place is a gastronomic adventure not to be missed!
