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.
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!!

Deuxième fois que je vais au restaurant, la nourriture est simplement incroyable, le meilleur udon que j'ai jamais mangé de ma vie. Le service est excellent & l'ambiance est très chaleureuse. Je recommande !
One of the best Korean restaurants I have tried! I have tried my fair share of Korean restaurants, & this is one of the top 3 for sure! The menu is on the simpler side, but I appreciate that. The service was fast & efficient. The staff was also super friendly. The cream katsu was remarkable. I will definitely be coming back! Only downside is 99% of the time, a reservation is required. If you think ahead of time to call & make a reservation though, you're all set!
Easily one of the best meals I've ever had. Everything on the menu sounded so delicious we were 2 & we ordered so much because we wanted to try everything. & every. Single. Plate. Delivered. The flavour & textures were flawless. We almost licked our plates. Even when we were full it was so good we kept eating! We told ourselves we were definitely going back to try more plates on the amazing menu. I'm not a big spicy eater so they even accommodated me for one of the appetizers by putting the spicy sauce on the side. Not only is the food to die for, the service was great! Every single person working there was so sweet & had beautiful smiles. 100% recommend!!

Was in town (from Toronto) for the weekend & looking for some Korean/Japanese eats. Glad we stumbled upon this place as it was a hidden gem. I'm a big guy & usually can eat quite a bit, but man...the portions here were huge that I actually had to pack some food to bring back to the hotel. We ordered the pork katsu rice (curry) & chicken katsu rice (cream) it was on point! The free miso soup was kinda bland & didn't have any real flavour to it. (August 10, 2024)
