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.
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
Deuxième fois que je vais au restaurant, la nourriture est simplement incroyable, le meilleur udon que j'ai jamais mangé de ma vie. Le service est excellent & l'ambiance est très chaleureuse. Je recommande !
Easily one of the best meals I've ever had. Everything on the menu sounded so delicious we were 2 & we ordered so much because we wanted to try everything. & every. Single. Plate. Delivered. The flavour & textures were flawless. We almost licked our plates. Even when we were full it was so good we kept eating! We told ourselves we were definitely going back to try more plates on the amazing menu. I'm not a big spicy eater so they even accommodated me for one of the appetizers by putting the spicy sauce on the side. Not only is the food to die for, the service was great! Every single person working there was so sweet & had beautiful smiles. 100% recommend!!
J'en perd mes mots pour vous dire à quel point j'adore cet endroit. Tout est comme je l'aime. L'ambiance est excellente, la nourriture est l'une des meilleurs que j'ai eu la chance de gouter avec des plats varié donc tu ne peux que vouloir revenir pour tous les essayer! Finalement le staff est tellement agréable & leur prix son l'un des plus bas que vous verrez. Je vous recommande sincèrement d'essayer si vous avez la chance!
** The reviews DOESN'T lie! ** It's honestly one of the best korean food that I've ate in Montreal. The appetizer rice cake was good...cripsy outside & chewy inside, sweet&salty & a little bit spicy at the same time. The Dak Galbi Dolsot bowl was flavourful, it came very hot too. The only''bad'' thing that I have to say is about the size of the restaurant: it's very small, cannot take a lot of people at the same time so if you don't reserve your place, you won't be able to enter or maybe you'll wait for a long time. Overall, I strongly recommend 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.
One of the best places for Korean & Japanese food. They do not cheap out on portions nor on quality. Service was fast (though it wasn't during peak hours), & staff is caring. They even gave us a bowl & 2 boxes for takeout. Would recommend!

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
My friends & I visited Montreal during this long weekend, & had a chance to grab food at Jako. Overall, we had such a great time here. This place has amazing food, service & atmosphere. Can't recall the names of the menu but we really enjoyed every single dish. They were fresh, delicious & beautifully plated. The lighting of the restaurant was not too dark, not too bright, was perfect for a happy night out with the people you love to hang out with. Their service, no need to mention, it was amazing. The (the owner) & the staff members were very friendly & kind. Would definitely recommend Jako, if you are looking for a place to chill, have fun with friends.
