Blending Korean and Japanese influences with a Montreal touch, Jako keeps things simple but deeply satisfying. The menu focuses on well-executed comfort dishes, from pork donburi with fried kimchi to chicken katsu curry and stir-fried noodle bowls. A favourite for its rich, balanced flavours and unpretentious approach, the restaurant draws steady crowds, making reservations a smart move. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is welcoming, and every dish is plated with care. While the menu isn’t sprawling, it’s designed so that each visit offers something new to try—whether that’s a cheese-stuffed katsu, a comforting bowl of miso soup, or a perfectly layered rice bowl. Fusion spots can be hit or miss, but Jako gets it right.
