Kazu se spécialise dans une cuisine japonaise authentique caractérisée par des profils de saveurs intenses et des ingrédients préparés avec soin. Le menu propose des plats signatures tels que des bols de poitrine de porc succulentes, des burgers aux crevettes riches et des ramen parfaitement assaisonnés qui constituent le cœur de son offre culinaire. Chaque plat témoigne d'un engagement envers les techniques traditionnelles tout en utilisant des protéines de haute qualité et des légumes frais de saison. Les clients découvrent un environnement compact et énergique où la cuisine ouverte permet d'observer directement le processus de cuisson. L'atmosphère demeure constamment animée, rappelant les stands typiques que l'on trouve dans tout Tokyo. Chaque préparation souligne des notes umami profondes grâce à des méthodes de cuisson et de grillage précises. Cet établissement propose une sélection ciblée de classiques japonais conçus pour un service rapide.
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.
For the past 10 years, Kazu has been my absolute favorite Japanese restaurant in Montreal, & it's long overdue that I share how exceptional this place truly is.
Every single year, I celebrate my birthday here because I know I'm guaranteed an unforgettable meal. Every plate is a voyage for the palate, crafted with care, precision, & incredible culinary talent. Honestly, I can't remember a single time I've ever been disappointed.
The ingredients are always fresh, thoughtfully prepared, & packed with flavor. Their grilled octopus is hands down the best I've ever had in my life, & the kama salmon collar - whenever it's available - is simply out of this world.
While the regular menu is consistently excellent, I highly recommend paying special attention to the seasonal dishes written on the small pieces of paper around the restaurant. Those limited-time creations are often the true highlights: refreshing, unique, creative, & an absolute must-try.
Kazu isn't just a restaurant to me - it's a staple of Japanese cuisine in Montreal & a place that has delivered memorable experiences year after year. If you haven't been yet, you're missing something special.
Everything is bite size, but not cheap either. Ngl the worst okonomiyaki I've ever had. I thought Japanese people will make it more authentic, but it was honestly very bad. The buta don is literally the same taste as those instant package. They are always rushing you.

The grilled food is good with Japanese style. But the average price is little bit expensive than other Japanese restaurant. If you love sashimi, don't order the sashimi don here, unless you like don with 1/4 iced sashimi +1/4 rice +1/2 lettuce.
A very delicious marriage of Japanese & French culinary techniques! The quality of the food is excellent, the staff is warm & attentive, & the atmosphere is inviting. It felt like being in a refined izakaya in Japan.
My favorite japanese place. My husband proposed me at that place. FYI Typical japanese restaurant like in Japan.
You need to wait in line (they don't take reservations) but it's worth it 200%. Be patient. The Bar section experience is recommended!! You can be 4 persons but you need to squeeze.
The service is excellent & fast. The Owner & his Staff are always smiling & working so hard. Lovely vibe. They are really good people. Awesome team.
Food. Wow wow. Different kind of plates (tapas, meal, appetizers, vegeterian stuff.) with different prices. Really affordable. Always fresh, nice presentation, big menu. If you don't know or have never tried, try it. You won't be disappointed.
Kazu is a modern Japanese restaurant with a creative twist. The owner brilliantly combines traditional Japanese elements with Western cooking techniques, resulting in dishes that are both innovative & incredibly delicious.
If there's one downside, it's that there's almost always a line. But that just proves how much people love the food - it's so good that everyone is willing to wait for it. Definitely worth it!
Authentic Japanese vibe. Food is excellent & I went to Japan 🇯🇵! They have a nice menu with a menu of the day written on paper. They didn't have two items that we wanted but other than that it was perfect. Staff is efficient & nice. My new favourite spot in Mtl.
Best Japanese curry I had in Montreal, it was absolutely amazing & reminded so much of the ones in Japan. We were sat at the bar & it was nice to see the staff work & have a little chat about Japan at the end. 100% will come back but not during winter because of this 1h-wait in line hehe ;-)
