One of the few restaurants that I just keep coming back to. Amazing food, amazing presentation, amazing service. The chef owner & his wife are both so heartwarming & passionate about their work & it really shows in the food they serve!

I remember asking the owner if he ever planned on franchising since the restaurant was getting ever so popular & he said no because he needs to be there to supervise in order to maintain overall quality. Much respect for his work ethic, I hope they keep on flourishing.

Seul bémol c'est qu'il y a trop de choix & vous avez envie de goûter tout ! Le meilleur mayo de truffe que j'ai goûté 👌🏻

A bit if not a lot disappointed: I ordered a chirashi dish, but ended up with a carpaccio instead, which surprised me. While the flavors were ok, this was not what I expected/wanted at all. I also got the yuzu sake cocktail, which did not state it was fizzy, something I can't drink so I just handed it to my friend… honestly I wouldn't wait to get in cause there are tons of nice nice Japanese restaurants that aren't as packed & loud, although the waitresses were super nice :)

Haven't been there for a few years but this is by far my favourite Japanese restaurant in Montreal. Recommend without any hesitation! Prices are fair given extreme quality. Chef is an as! Staff always friendly. Japanese tavern ambience so expect to be seated tight closed to other guests. Amazing experience, always.

I got to dine in at this Japanese restaurant & the food was so delicious that I went back a few hours later to enjoy my second meal. Both times I had to wait around 20-30 minutes in line but it was worth the wait. Beef bibimbap was absolutely delicious, the beef was tender, moist & flavorful. Shrimp burger was super soft, ramen was big enough to share & the homemade tofu was ultra soft & delicious. Finally to end the meal, there is selection of ice cream flavors to choose from. I had the chocolate brioche & it was not too sweet. I enjoyed all the dishes that I got to try out from here, very fresh & authentic. Despite service being extremely busy, they were helpful & friendly.

The food was underwhelming as some of the dishes didn't match the price point. Service was fast at first but quickly fell behind once at capacity. There is a long line waiting outside, they try to serve you as fast as possible & get you out of there.

I FINALLY went to Kazu last night & it was one of the best dinners I've had in Montreal. We ate so much & yet didn't feel heavy, actually felt nourished & happy :) We got soft tofu salad with Kimchi dressing, pancake w. Shrimp, grilled Seabass & Kalbi for just the two of us. & house warm house Sake to wash it all down. De-licious! Totally worth the 40 min wait in line. The servers were awesome & I even got to practice some Japanese with them. Highly recommend this eatery.

Really fresh & tasty food, friendly staff, with extra seasonal menu items on the walls that are delicious No reservations, but the earlier you get there the less wait there will be (we waited for about 10min for Thursday 6pm)

After years we finally made it to Kazu & boy, it is indeed worth the hype & the wait outside in line. If you're looking for authentic Japanese food which is priced so fair (especially compared to other Montreal restaurants!) this is it. 10/10 everything we tried was delicious & authentic. We had several shared starters, main & desserts & loved everything.

Must visit if you're in Montreal. It's one of our go-to restaurant. There's always a line to get in, but it's definitely worth the wait. The food is amazing & the chef is always happy to see you!

Hands down one of the best authentic Japanese izakaya places I've been to. The owner was extremely friendly & courteous, & you can clearly see that come through with his team members, food & service. Congrats to the Kazu team. A must visit if you're in Montreal... the lineup out the door speaks for itself. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in Montreal.

Truly a gem of an authentic, hole in the wall goldmine. Will come back to Montreal just for this. 10/10.
