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 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.
Way overrated - This is typical American Japanese (even the rice was overcooked, come on...). I am happy to haven't waited too long. Don't understand the ratings of other people... there is much better in Montreal

Kazu is an absolute gem. Easily the most authentic Japanese cuisine in the entire city. The place has a small Tokyo bar style atmosphere & is complemented well by absolutely sublime service. Seriously, every server is attentive, smiling, & they move with the speed of sound. The food is incredible. My wife & I have been to Japan twice now & this food comes closest to getting us so nostalgic & excited to go back. It's comforting, warm, & delicious. Best part is the price! For four shared appetizers, two mains, 4 shots of yuzu sake, & 1 ginger Sapporo, I was floored to see the bill be just over $100. We were so stuffed we even took a doggie bag. So incredibly worth it! Yes, the lines can often be long, but I now see exactly why this is the case. This was a phenomenal experience & looking forward to coming back soon.
2024 January 4.5★ At time of writing, this restaurant is one of the top 10 Japanese restaurants in Montreal. Along with the fact this is a small tightly packed restaurant, you'll certainly need to wait. Though with the speed of the restaurant, it helps with the lineups. CARPACCIO DE BOUF $10 Very good with some citrus notes. Would order again. YAKITORI - chicken $5 for 2 Not bad, though not as juicy as expected. Would pass next time. OKONOMIYAKI $13 Crispy Japanese pancakes with shrimp. A good flavor. Lots of cabbage base. Topped off with greens. Great 4 person sharable appetizer. Special du jour $27 pork shoulder steak. Very very good. Perfectly charred, perfectly cooked. Tender & very flavorful. Paired with some greens, mash potatoes & fresh tomatoes, it was perfect. Would recommend. Ceviche $22.00 A mix of hot (deep fried shrimp) & cold items (mussels, tomatoes etc.) in a tangy tomato style sauce. It's not bad, but would pass next time. Right on one of the busy street, you'll see this amongst many others. This is one to try. Note: seating is tight. Room for up to about 22 Some Free Parking available on side streets.
As a Japanese food lover, I am glad that I finally find one that I am satisfied in Montreal. The food is made with heart, with nice plating & delicious of course.
This place makes you feel like you've been transported to an izakaya in Japan especially if you're sitting at the counter. Then you check out the menu & you're brought back to reality. The menu here is pretty unique where they blend Japanese food with western options & I must say that have married the two perfectly together. It was hard to decide what to order as there was so much we wanted to try. They also have entrees not in the menu listed on the paper at the bar so don't forget to look there!
