| - On extremely enthusiastic suggestion of a friend who used to live in Montreal, we went to Kazu. Like most good things in life, you must wait for the good stuff, which in this case meant an approximately 10 minute wait line.
As we waited, we got a feel for the establishment. Personal space in Kazu is hard to come by, especially since the restaurant is already tiny. If you're thinking about bringing a group, I'd suggest keeping it limited to four, and even then, expect to wait longer for sufficient seating. They keep the decor super classy, with their menu hand written on sheets of paper attached all over the walls. All in all, you'll get a no frills, Japanese style feel, with waiters constantly bustling around.
My meal started off with a small serving of some sort of meso esque soup. This was nice and dandy, but nothing compared to the main.
After briefly watching the constant dance of the chefs from my bar seat, I was finally served the shrimp burger. The presentation of the dish is impressive, especially for a burger. It's served on a very large plate, as they dress the empty space with three different sauces: a cream sauce reminiscent to Thousand Island dressing, a dark viscous one with some tang, and an orange coloured sauce. When it comes to the burger itself you're served a sandwich with a plain bun, a black tiger atlantic shrimp patty, green leaf lettuce, and Rice Krispies. This burger takes "melt in your mouth" to the next level! It all starts with the impossibly soft shrimp patty. Honestly, it's unfair to compare the consistency of this patty to your standard beef patty. It's simply delightful. Second to the stellar patty is the three sauce combo, that adds to its comforting flavour. And ya, there are Rice Krispies scattered about, whose crunch you'll eventually notice after your initial bout of pleasure. Lastly, there's the plain bun, which probably comes straight from a grocery store. Am I complaining? If it allows them to keep those prices low and still provide a show stopper of a burger, hell no.
I ended it all with some plum soft serve ice cream. I wanted their famous wasabi flavour, but they were sold out. It was delicious.
Go to Kazu! If you have to wait, wait. If you have to sit in a lane and get bumped by passers by, sit there. If you have to sit by the window and have passers by watch you, enjoy your food as they jealously watch on, because they're right to be jealous.
