I always order the Katsu & lately has been less good than it used to be. A bit oily to be honest.
The personnel is attentive but the place is always super full so they are busy

Un solide 4 étoiles pour moi. Le rapport qualité prix & l'ambiance sont bien, tout est bon sans non plus être extraordinaire (ex: katsu un peu sec mais pas si mal, saveurs ok mais pas renversantes non plus).

This is an authentic Korean restaurant, & we've been there a few times-every dish has been great & never disappointing. The cheese katsu is the best ever, & other Korean dishes like the spicy pork & soft tofu soup were also really good. One thing to note is that they're always busy, so you'll need a reservation in advance.

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.

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.

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!

I loved the vibe! The karaage was delicious & their menu has a ton of intriguing dishes. The pork katsu was a bit soggy but other than that I really liked it!

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.

One of the best Korean restaurants I have tried! I have tried my fair share of Korean restaurants, & this is one of the top 3 for sure! The menu is on the simpler side, but I appreciate that. The service was fast & efficient. The staff was also super friendly. The cream katsu was remarkable. I will definitely be coming back! Only downside is 99% of the time, a reservation is required. If you think ahead of time to call & make a reservation though, you're all set!

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.

Pretty close to what you'd find in Asia. One of the few good Katsu in Montréal.
