I had an okay experience at Kazu. I had to wait about 30 minutes to get inside so make sure you get there early! The service was really good & fast. As soon as I closed the menu, the server came right away. The food was good but maybe overhyped. I ordered the shrimp burger which was a 10/10 & the Salmon & Tuna bowl (I give a 5/10). The atmosphere was okay but I felt like I was squeezed in a corner. Lots of tables in a small space.

The food was okay to be honest & the service really fast 👌 but everyone in rush to ask people to order & also the bill they just bring it, when they think we are done eating

This place is always packed so expect a long line. I ordered takeout instead & it was ready in 20mins. You can even call ahead to pick up your order & skip the line. They have a wall of specials for the week & all the dishes are so creative & unique. My favourite dishes were the fried green beans with truffle dip & the tuna salmon bowl! The eel hand rolls were also very tasty. The eggplant dip was a bit bland & from the other times I have eaten here it had been better. Maybe an off day. Will definitely be back for takeout!

Good food & drink. Small & cramped restaurant, there is usually a line up to get in. Make sure to check your bill.

Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar for dinner & a delightful'show'. The ginger & egg soup is the perfect starter to kick off your culinary adventure. & don't miss out on the surprisingly delicious yuzu foam beer-it's a refreshing treat that pairs perfectly with the vibrant atmosphere.

This is a seriously fun place. Line ups are regular things & there's a reason for it. The place is unique. Menu specials on the wall. Dog earred menus. & some of the most original & interesting Japanese inspired dishes you'll ever have.

Trust the process. Wait in line, order from the neon sheets on the wall, pair with crispy beers. One of the best dining experiences in Montreal hands down.

Un accueille chaleureux malgré la grande affluence & pour cause, la cuisine est excellente, varié & à prix raisonnable. N'hésitez pas à explorer la carte très varié. Pensez arriver tôt, car très vite une file d'attente sur le trottoir se forme pour arriver à avoir une table.

Excellent restaurant japonais à Montréal. Beaucoup de choix hors menu (plus que le menu officiel). Les plats sont à partager. Choix très variés de poisson & de viande. Un goût personnel, je trouve qu'il y parfois trop de sauce dans les plats. Très petit restaurant, mais c'est ce qui donne l'atmosphère du resto. Pas convenient pour les groupes, 4 personnes max sinon c'est très difficile de trouver une place. Il faut aller tôt à 5:00 PM, sinon il y a un line-up & attendre. Le service est excellent & très rapide. Un restaurant absolument à essayer à Montréal !

WELL WORTH THE WAIT Tiny restaurant, huge lines, & for a good reason. The food quality is astounding. Never have I had food this good this fast for this cheap. Main courses under $18 abundant, appetizers under $10, service is crazy fast like a good busy restaurant should be. Get the curry get the bibimbap

I'd give this place 10,000 stars if I could!! Whenever any of my friends visit montreal for the first time I tell them to go to Kazu. Whenever I am in Montreal I try to go to Kazu. If I walk by Kazu it calls to me & I cannot resist its pull. The food is always super fresh-they will take items off the menu or have special items only in stock when they get certain ingredients. There are options for most food restrictions-veggies, halal, no fish etc. I would recommend their home made tofu if you go on a Sunday. Anything with raw seafood will be delicious. Any of the grilled meat will be incredible. Also their salads are fresh & flavourful sauces on everything! The desserts are always exceptional. The staff is all super friendly! It is a cozy little restaurant with a lot of energy so I might not recommend taking your very elderly family members or anyone sensitive to louder environments. I cannot recommend Kazu enough!!!!! This isn't a paid sponsorship (although if anyone from Kazu is reading I will gladly accept food as payment hahaha!).

Despite the long line-up, everything about this place is a gold! fantastic food, humble prices, authentic vibe. Recommend to go 5-10 mins prior to the opening to avoid the line:)

Absolutely amazing. Automatically became a favorite due to the fast service, wonderful staff & mouth watering food. Delicious food, always fresh & at a wonderful price. I the lines can be long but they can be avoided if you come aliens 5:30, then you might wait only about 20 minutes. One of the best spots in the city, & a must try for anyone passing through Montréal
