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 karaage was great with the sweet & spicy sauce, very tender. Seafood udon was delicious, lots of shrimp & mussels. The beef udon soup wasn't anything special. Did not like that they make you pour the ingredients into the broth & not the other way around. This causes more splashing & most restaurants don't do this.
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.
I had the bulgogi dolsot. They don't give you any of those side dishes like the other Korean restaurants, the food would be more enjoyable with some kimchi or other side dishes to go with, it ends up to be a bit greasy without something fresh to cleanse your palette. & there is no crunchy crispy rice at the bottom of the bowl, a bit disappointing in that matter. Service is fast.
Chouette petit restaurant coréen proche de la station Guy-Concordia. Le service est impeccable & la nourriture est extraordinaire! N'hésitez pas à commander plusieurs plats pour partager! Les tteokkochi sont excellents, ma découverte de la soirée. 10/10
Une expérience toute à fait exquise ! Un service irréprochable & surtout très rapide. Le donburi de boeuf est simplement une explosion culinaire, malgré ma déception sur la rupture de saumon ce soir je n'ai pas été déçue par cette incroyable découverte ! Le Katsu au curry est une merveille pour les papilles, tout ça pour un prix totalement abordable ! N'hésitez pas, foncez 😍

First I have to say I loved the food in here. Today I just picked up a pork galbi donburi for my baby's lunch. But when my baby was having it, I found a hair with the pork. It was really disgusting. Please be aware of hygiene!
Très bon restaurant de street food coréenne, les plats sont très copieux & aussi épicés qu'en Corée ! Les entrées peuvent parfois faire office de repas tellement elles sont copieuses (korokke, tteokkochi...). Le personnel est sympathique !
