I love jako. It's my go to restaurant in mtl. It's a cozy place & is usually full on weekends. The atmosphere is vibrant & it can get loud but that's the jako vibe. The jeyuk dolsot is my comfort food & I ALWAYS get the tteokkeochi. I recommend for a friend/group dinner.

Korean-Japanese fusion done right. Bold, balanced flavors, great service, & a vibe that keeps you coming back. One of the best meals I've had in the city.

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%.

The atmosphere was really great, the lighting is soft & sets on a good vibe. The service was quick & the servers were nice. The food was absolutely delicious, so flavorful. We all really enjoyed our night. I would absolutely recommend this place to go out with your friends or your family! If you're going there with a group I'd recommend to call ahead to take a reservation.

Food was so good that I tried it on Thursday night & was back on Sunday for lunch. Everything is absolutely delicious but I highly recommend the tteokbokki udon, the fried tteokkochi, & the korrokes. They also have makgeolli which is not something I see very often (highly recommend the banana). The prices are super affordable, the food is delicious & comes in great portions, the staff are really friendly, & the vibe feels like you're actually out for a meal in Korean. 10/10 will be back.

I would give 10 stars if I could. We absolutely loved every dish we tried. What really stood out for me was the kindness & funny vibe of our waiter! I forgot to ask his name but he really made our night! Will definitely comeback
