Restaurant Kazu - Montréal

Best Japanese Izakaya restaurant I’ve been to! They have lots of seasonal dishes aside from the menu. The food were all savoury and delicious. Only thing was that the line is quite long. If you can wait then the food worth it all!

This restaurant is special, one I would easily recommend. The ambience was very nice, and the washrooms and everything were very clean. The service was impeccable, I dropped my chopsticks and one of the chefs was kind enough to pick it up for me. We had multiple people check on us throughout our dinner, right up until we exited. Because the restaurant was busy, we were only able to sit at the bar, but we still thoroughly enjoyed it as we got to see all the food being prepared. Definitely try the special dishes that are posted at the top of the bar (not listed in any menus). We would come here again 100

This place, value for money, flavor per dollar, is impressive. I now understand why they have a lineup. I highly recommend this place if you have the patience for the wait and can handle the tight seating. You will be rewarded with a gastronomic experience. Wonder staff too; I hope they don’t change a thing.

My favorite Japanese restaurant in Montreal. The flavors hit the right spot! My favorite is the bibimbap. I also love the chicken skin skewers (yakitori). The shrimp burger was pretty filling too. They have really nice dessert options, too. The service is good. I do think the restaurant is a bit congested. The tables are very close to each other, so you can hear another's conversations. Not very comfortable seating as well.This place opens in the evening and closes early as well. I would prefer going early cause in the first few hours of service, they run out of their items in their specialty menu.

I’ve lived in Montreal for over a decade and have always been curious as to why this place is so popular with its lines. Today, I understood why. We came right after their summer vacay so I was expecting it to be busy and of course, as always it was. The wait in the rain was well worth it. We were here for our anniversary dinner and we were so lucky to get the bar seating, seeing Chef Kazuo Akutsu and his team manoeuvre in its tiny kitchen. He paid extra attention to his customers and you can see how proud he is of his food. I enjoyed every food, from the Yakitori, chicken Gyoza, Okonomiyaki (so good, reminds me of another street snack in Indonesia, but refined). I had the 48 hours pork bowl, with curry that was super filling and amazing! My wife had the Chirashi-zushi and the fish was incredibly fresh and amazing. My favourite was being able to finally try Plum Wine, it was INCREDIBLE!Line gets longer as the night dawns, we got here at 6 and waited 30 mins max.Thanks the chef for his amazing creativity and well balanced food. Don’t wonder no more about the line, join it.
