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 and fast. The Owner and his Staff are always smiling and 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. Try the ginger tiramisu and litchi&basilic sorbet and drinks! Well, try everything. Thank you team!
Reviews / Ratings for Restaurant Kazu
This is the best restaurant in Montreal. Period.
Greatness speaks for itself
JUST Splendid!!
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 and 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!
Staffs are friendly. Food is really good. Best Japanese restaurant in Montreal.
Favourite Japanese restaurant in Montreal hands down. Everything on the menu is fantastic and it never disappoints.
Best Japanese curry I had in Montreal, it was absolutely amazing and reminded so much of the ones in Japan. We were sat at the bar and it was nice to see the staff work and 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 ;-)
Absolutely amazing food, quality, value, and service. 10/10. The wait is very long and seating is limited, but it was truly worth it.
It’s a nice spot, the atmosphere that is. Waiters are a bit in a rush because there is always a line up so you better be ready to order your appetisers 😤. We ordered some raw salmon and tuna which were good. The beef short rib was nice but after two chews I had to visit the dentist the next day. Might not come back but i understand why people may like it.
A must in Montreal. The original izakaya in MTL.
The food at Japanese Kazu is really great — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Everything we tried was excellent, and it definitely lives up to its reputation. On weekends, be prepared for a long wait, as it gets very busy. The space is quite small, so it’s not really suitable for groups larger than 4 people. Smaller groups will have a much better experience. Overall, if you don’t mind waiting and you’re coming with a small group, this place is absolutely recommended for quality Japanese food. 🍣✨
The food quality is average, but the service is overall great. The ambiance is always busy and there’s not much space ever.
