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.
The food was ok but they were kind of expensive. We liked the fried rice cake appetizer the most along with the others. The chicken thigh udon bowl was ok but the flavor was not for me. Just a suggestion, in the shrimp tempura bowl, there should be more than 2 pieces of shrips in it.
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!
The food we tasted was amazing & for a good price. Good service too even though we showed up in a bigger group we were accommodated well. Would definitely return to try other things on the menu

Just came across this by chance as it was close to my hotel. Loved loved loved it. Fun energy. Great menu. Service was top notch. Dishes were super. Thank you everyone before me for rating it so high. You were all right.
A great restaurant if you're in a big group of people & no one can decide what to eat. Lots of variety. Portions are a good size. I personally really enjoyed my curry it came w mashed bpotatoes that tasted sweet & almost like vanilla which i thought was amazing!! Some of my friends found that something was missing flavour-wise, & after tasting their food I mostly disagree. I will say that the karaage was not very good.
Mignon restaurant coréen au centre ville de Montréal 🇰🇷 La nourriture y est délicieuse. J'y suis allé en petit groupe & l'ambiance était très bien. Sur l'heure de dîner (un dimanche) nous n'avions pas eu besoin d'attendre avant d'être assignés à une table. Service rapide & courtois.
Great place for some affordable Korean food. Their location is quite small so make sure you get there early during weekends. Food is good & tasty but you do feel a bit of pressure to leave as soon as you finish eating, which is fine if you just come for the food. Would definitely comeback & try different items on the menu.
