| - I went to Kazu's a couple of weeks ago with a friend who had been the week before and couldn't stop raving about the food. We got there after the main diner rush around 9:00 and we still had to wait for a seat, truth be told we gave up a table to wait for a seat at the bar. The wait was worth it!
We ordered Kazu's choice, leaving meal choice in the hands of the chef.
We weren't disappointed. Kazu gave us a taste of everything, pork neck, tuna tartar, tomato salad and shrimp pancakes. What an incredible meal.
The ambiance is also irresistible, we sat at the bar and could talk to the chefs not to mention other patrons who were all to happy to compare notes on the taste and smells of the dishes they had ordered. There was a problem with the fan over the grill on the night we went so the place was a little smoky but oddly enough it seemed to add to the experience. Kazu told us that the fan was due to be fixed the next day.
This place is a great find in what is becoming a great part of downtown Montreal, I would almost call it the new China town. A couple of things to keep in mind about Kazu, first of all it's closed on Tuesday's, second expect to stand in line and wait for a table, the restaurant is small and has few tables, this is part of what makes this place so much fun. I would suggest this place to anyone looking for great Japanese cuisine, I know I'll be back often.
I did want to mention the they accept interact payments now, I paid via interact when I was there.
