I was craving to eat something special in downtown after shopping.
After searching & searching I finally take a decision to try this restaurant!!!
Seeing that nearly 5 stars ⭐? I can't miss it.
We arrived at 17:00 we are first at the opening. I really like the decoration, service are excellent, I ask some recommendations of the menu.
I found the music are too loud for me , I can't relax & appreciate my meal 🥘
Meals are arrived fairly quickly, omg looks delicious, after first bite you can't stop.
The ratio rice vs meat & accompaniment are perfect balance.
Taste are very very good, not too salty
I surely comeback to try more dishes

I had the Bulgogi Dolsot for $22 & the Shrimp Tempura for $7.50. Excellent meal. Good quality beef & shrimp. Tasty rice. Generous portions. Nice casual atmosphere.

Some of the best service I've experienced in Montreal. The staff were all super friendly & warm. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant was great, with a cosy vibe & music, & we could at least have a decent group conversation without too much noise from the other tables.

The food was next level. Let me tell you, just the right amount of spice kick & umami for the bulgogi dolsot (hot stone bowl). The crunchy rice at the bottom of the bowl was a chef's kiss 👨?❤??💋?👨. The tteokochi (rice cake appetizer) was a tad too sweet for me, but still had great crunch overall. Definitely a recommended place to visit; I'll come back 100%.

visited on Feb3 for dinner, everything is good except the not hot enough, seems uncooked rice served in dishes.

It was a perfect experience. I went to the restaurant at 5 p.m., & since it was still early, there was no need to wait in line. The staff were very friendly & professional. We ordered fried chicken, Japanese okonomiyaki, beef stone pot bibimbap, & a beef rice bowl. The food was served quickly, & the portions were generous. My mother & I were so full that we still couldn't finish everything. After noticing that we had finished our meal, the server proactively brought us takeout boxes. The restaurant is just as excellent as it was a few years ago when I last visited.

Une expérience très positive chez Jako. Nous avons été bien conseillés & la nourriture était copieuse & savoureuses. N'hésitez pas à demander des recommandations des serveurs! L'ambiance était bien avec de la bonne musique 🎶 pas trop forte. Je conseille les rice cakes & les boules de fromage coulant! Ouf!! J'ai pris les nouilles udon avec le boeuf & la sauce Mayo crémeuse , à se rouler par terre!! Miam! Ça vaut le détour & on est allés un mercredi à l'ouverture … c'était pas trop occupé.

J'ai hâte de retourner pour essayer un autre plat!

Went back after a few years & the portions seem to have shrunk a bit. I got the spicy pork bibimbap. The flavor was there & it was delicious, but there wasn't a lot of rice so it was a bit too salty & greasy.

The stone bowl was excessively hot, it made the rice too crispy & hard for my taste & the food didn't cool down even after 30 minutes. The experience wasn't enjoyable.

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.
