Great food, great service & an overall fantastic vibe. Food was high quality & prices were more than reasonable. Staff were friendly & food came very quick. I will definitely be back!
One of the few restaurants that I just keep coming back to. Amazing food, amazing presentation, amazing service. The chef owner & his wife are both so heartwarming & passionate about their work & it really shows in the food they serve!
I remember asking the owner if he ever planned on franchising since the restaurant was getting ever so popular & he said no because he needs to be there to supervise in order to maintain overall quality. Much respect for his work ethic, I hope they keep on flourishing.
Haven't been there for a few years but this is by far my favourite Japanese restaurant in Montreal. Recommend without any hesitation! Prices are fair given extreme quality. Chef is an as! Staff always friendly. Japanese tavern ambience so expect to be seated tight closed to other guests. Amazing experience, always.

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.
The food was very tasty & the waitress very kind & helpful. There might be a long line due to the few places available but it's definitely worth it! It's mostly a place where you will want to try multiple meals, as the quantities are not very large. The quality however is definitely there & it's one of the best quality/price ratio in Montreal. As a Frenchmen, I also believe that it's one of the few places where the tips are not expected but earned, & therefore deserved 😄
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.
Great food, atmosphere & staff. Really wide selection. I came solo & sat at a bar stool. You could see everyone was really working well together & staff genuinely lovely. Food was just delicious 👌 good quality, fresh Japanese food
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
A great izakaya with excellent price points. I've come to this place when it was first opened & I am glad to see this place has not only kept up with the quality expanded their operation as well. Between the 2 of us, we ordered 3 entrées, 1 yakitori & shared a dessert & the check came to $67 before tips. Excellent food & value. One girl was rather abrupt with her attitude but everyone else was nice & friendly.
