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.

Small fusion Japanese near our hotel. Excellent food & service It's a very small establishment thought so you might have to wait during peak hours

Always an excellent meal at Kazu! The wait might be long (1 hour last Sunday when arriving at 6:30pm), so plan to go when you aren't starving, but it is so so worth it. The ingredients are such high quality & so fresh, & the prices are very reasonable for the portions. Makes you feel like you entered a family-run izakaya in Japan, where the staff is so friendly. My recommendations would include the toro don with ikura & hotate (people came to us to ask what we ordered because of how good it looks, & the taste matches the appearance! salmon don is also very good) as well as the grilled octopus legs (grilled to perfection). Homemade tofu is very tasty if you are looking for a vegetarian option.

If you have not been you most. Great food. An atmosphere close to what you may encounter in Japan. A essayé sans faute.

We enjoyed this little Japanese restaurant in June 2024. The food was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is different & a little chaotic but it adds to the experience. The menu is on yellow pieces of paper scatter throughout the walls (the regular menu wasn't even necessary). We tried the pig cheeks, the shrimp toast, the gyozas, beef, sashimi, fish & more. Each dish was better than the next. & you have to try the cheesecake ice cream. Lauren (our server) was like a Ninja.. always there to help even when you didn't expect it. & the staffs ability to muti task on such a chaotic environment was impressive. They were all very thankful & all smiles. It is a small restaurant with some bar seating where you can watch them cook. Be prepared to wait as they do not take reservations & they will seat you based on the number of people on your party & what is available at the moment...so others who have smaller or the exact number they need will go ahead of you regardless of when you got there. We waited about an hour on a friday night for 5 of us, but tables for 2 waited maybe 20 minutes. We would not hesitate to go back. The food, the staff & the overall experience was great. If you want a normal night out at a Japanese restaurant, this isn't it. But it will be worth the patience & adjustment to their methods... the food & the staff speak for themselves.
