Jako est souvent décrit comme un endroit cosy et animé proposant une fusion coréenne et japonaise avec de généreuses portions et des plats savoureux comme le bulgogi dolsot, le poulet katsu à la crème et aux champignons, le tteokkochi et l'udon aux fruits de mer crèmeux, mais il existe des défaillances occasionnelles comme des donburi de boeuf fades, des donburi tempura trop gras, ou une dolsot trop sucrée ou trop salée; l'impression générale met en avant des plats délicieux, un service amical et un bon rapport qualité-prix, avec des réservations souvent conseillées car l'affluence peut être importante et les places sont compactes, tandis que l'ambiance chaleureuse et les lumières néon renforcent l'expérience et de nombreux avis donnent envie de revenir pour tester d'autres items du menu.
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.
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!

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)
Craving for the chicken katsu for a long time & I've been told by my brother that there's a good chicken katsu restaurant near the Guy-Concordia Metro. Tried to give it a go 2 days ago & the server told us that it was full for 3 person & I need to book or wait 45 minutes almost one hour. Decided to went back yesterday & make a reservation. The place is okay & still has a big room to walk around comfortably. I ordered a curry chicken katsu with the other orders. The chicken katsu menu also comes with the soup for free & it's enough to fill our stomach since the waiting for the food to come out is long, but it was worth it. The chicken katsu is really good. The brown sauce is really good when paired with the whole meal. The cheese katsu is creamy, delicious & the representation is unique. Overall it's worth it to make a reservation & wait a little bit long for the food.
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.

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 😍
Nice place with decent food. Good prices & good portions. It's a bit loud during peak hours but otherwise a solid place. The Korean fried chicken & the Gyuu-don were good, but the chicken Katsu with cream is not great if you're used to the likes of Katsuya. Service is solid, they refill your water & don't disturb you with questions. Does get busy, call ahead for dinners.
The karage were nice & crispy but still moist inside (cooked to perfection) & the Chipotle sauce was *chefs kiss*. My go-to had always been the katsu & it never disappoints.
The udon bulgogi was a bit too salty for my liking & the tempura donburi was a bit bland. The highlight & my all time favorite has been the okonomiyaki. Very well made & tasted so good!
