Kazu est largement reconnu comme un izakaya japonais authentique et dynamique à Montréal, apprécié pour ses plats exceptionnels, frais et savoureux. De nombreux convives soulignent la créativité du menu, en particulier les spéciaux saisonniers affichés sur les murs, ainsi que l'expérience unique de voir les chefs cuisiner devant eux au comptoir. Bien que le restaurant soit souvent décrit comme un espace petit, animé et parfois bruyant, et que l'attente soit inévitable en raison de l'absence de réservations, la majorité des visiteurs estiment que la grande qualité de la nourriture et le service chaleureux valent largement l'effort. Malgré des avis partagés sur la taille des portions et les prix, le consensus général souligne une expérience culinaire inoubliable et énergique qui capture l'essence d'un établissement japonais traditionnel.
This is one of my all time favourite restaurants in Montreal. Such an authentic place, there us usually a line up in front & you cant wonder why it never disappoints. If youve tried it & haven't liked it its because you're ordering the wrong thing!!! The owner of this place is a real gem, super sweet & just an absolute ray of sunshine. My favourites on the menu are their beef carpaccio, the eggplant dip, the beef curry sauce, Chiraschi & if you go when it's lobster season do not go without trying it its by far my fave! Btwn the prices are sooooo affordable!
This is the best authentic Japanese restaurant ever!!! The food 10/10, the service 10/10 the only downside is the wait to get in but that's how you know the place is worth it (s.n. they don't do reservations)
Kazu is undeniably one of Montreal's premier Japanese dining experiences.
Upon entering, you're greeted by a cozy, warm, & traditional ambiance. The staff exemplify Japanese hospitality, being attentive, polite, & eager to address any inquiries. The menu strikes a perfect balance, offering a diverse selection without overwhelming patrons. Notably, the menu is creatively displayed on a collection of papers affixed to the wall, adding to the restaurant's charm.
Every dish we sampled was impeccably presented & delectable, reinforcing the notion that there are no wrong choices at Kazu.
In short, Kazu offers an authentic & memorable Japanese dining experience in Montreal. I wholeheartedly recommend it without hesitation.

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.
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.
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.
Went on a Saturday & we were there a bit earlier to beat the lineup. My friend & I ordered to share as entrée the scallop sashimi: delicious, simple yet full of flavor, the scallop melts in your mouth. Our second meal was the Salmon bowl salad. It was very good, you could tell by the taste how fresh the salmon is. For the main dish we ordered the grilled tuna steak. Everything on that plate was exquisite. Wrapped it up with the ice cream sake which surprisingly reminded me of home. I had a great experience, they serve quality & authentic food, it is a 10/10 for me.
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:)
