Jako is described as a small, cozy Korean and Japanese fusion restaurant with a warm vibe and soft lighting. The food is repeatedly praised for being flavorful and generously portioned, with favorites like bulgogi dolsot, yaki udon, fried chicken, katsu with cream sauce, and sundubu; prices are considered affordable for the downtown area. Service is noted as attentive and friendly, often quick, with staff who offer good recommendations and even help with takeout when the meal is finished. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and unpretentious, a good setting for casual meals with friends or family, though the space can be a bit dark and the music loud at times, and a few dishes are described as overly salty or oily. Overall, reviews converge on a highly positive impression and a strong likelihood to return, with many urging reservations for peak times.
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.
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
I know a lot of Americans come to Canada every day for work. I know they clock in, clock out, go to a restaurant for food & go back to their hotel. Tonight I came to Jako. I had a side of fries & a miso soup with some alcohol. But I'm not going to review the obviously amazing food. Because tonight wasn't about food, it was about an experience. It was about coming in with a friend & being greeted by the owner. It was about random people saying hello & sitting with me. It was about staying late & having conversations with people I'll never meet again. Tonight I wasn't just another American stopping in for a late night dinner, I was apart of a community & that community was found in Restaurant Jako. It's an experience I won't forget, & one I soon hope to have again. Don't just come in for the food, come here for the memories you'll make. Thank you Sit!

Super restaurant! Excellente cuisine, bien qu'un peu copieuse, on a adoré notre soirée au restaurant. Le service était irréprochable, le serveur pensait tellement à nous que je me suis senti très spécial. Les serveurs étaient toujours là pour débarrasser nos plats & pour savoir si tout était bien. L'ambiance est très cool dans ce petit restaurant de quelques places. Super musique coréenne, je suis maintenant fan. Bref, l'endroit idéal pour être entre quelques amis!
This is a hidden gem for great Korean/ Japanese fusion. Service is super pleasant & very efficient. Just note that it's a small place so reservations are a must!!
