Chimaek Gana earns high praise for crispy, flavorful fried chicken and generous portions, with many diners raving about the Supreme chicken, Yangnyeom and other bold flavors that pair perfectly with a cold beer. The service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and efficient, and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming, making it a solid pick for groups, dates, or casual meals. Reviewers also appreciate the variety of dishes from chicken and udon to conch salad, plus reliable sides like pickled radish and truffle fries, all offered at very reasonable prices for Montreal. A few notes mention menu changes and occasional pacing issues, but the overall experience remains highly recommended for those seeking great chicken, value, and a lively dining vibe.
Great food. They gave us s choice of chopsticks....or disposable gloves to eat out food. Gloves is a great idea for finger food! Lovely old building, too. Will go again
C est tellement un bel édifice, beau, propre excellent service.
J adore leur poulet frit & leur soupe de croquettes de poissons. Le Daikon mariné est extremement raffraîchissant entre 2 pilons de poulet. Les portions sont énormes pour une facture qui ne semble pas avoir eu vent de l'inflation des dernières années.
J aimerais essayer Les autres plats mais y'a un moment où j arrive plus à respirer & il m'en reste pour 2 jours alors je vous en redonne des nouvelles.
One of the best fried chicken restos in town. The fried chicken menu changes regularly but they usually have great options. Conch salad also delicious.
I visited Chimaek Gana a few days ago, & it was a great experience overall. I ordered the Supreme Chicken & udon, & both dishes were delicious. The chicken was incredibly crispy - exactly the kind of texture you want - & it paired perfectly with a cold beer.
The service was also excellent. The staff were very kind, attentive, & quick to react to anything we needed, which really made the meal even more enjoyable.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend Chimaek Gana if you're looking for tasty food, great chicken, & friendly service.
I visited this place on 23rd of january & everything was amazing. The fried chicken was delicious as always & the waiters were all so good looking. Also they played really cool korean songs which enlightened my group's mood even more.

Bring back THE OLD MENU FOR THE LOVE OF GAWDDD, consistency is how restaurants excel here… I mean udon? Takoyaki? It's not quite chimaek unique restaurant it used to be ..but seems like every other fusion restaurant in Montreal that tries to appeal to the masses. It's really sad because now if I want what chimaek used to be, I would have to go to Toronto.
The carbonara tteokbokki was great but the boneless chicken had small bits of bones in it which was very unpleasant. At first i thought i was biting into egg shells but they looked like bone fragments.

Amazing experience! I have been going there every now & then for special occasions. The prices are fair & the food delicious. Also, the waiters & waitresses are all very kind!
I learned about this place recently because my white son (my lovely wife is vietnamese; his mother, my ex-wife, is white) & his little korean girlfriend come here often. The food was okay, just okay, because my vietnamese wife did not mention how it reminded her of home, so it must've not felt that authentic. I used to not pay any mind to where they would dine at, but recently his receipts have been alarmingly high. I asked him why, & he said the store rebranded so the prices got higher. As a husband, I must take my beloved asian wife out on dates, & even though we pay separately, I cannot afford to give my son that much pocket change. However, I was very excited to see that my son & I shared the same taste for women (sidenote, I'm not really sure which Korea his girlfriend is from, but she is pretty regardless), so I asked my good for nothing youngling if he, & more importantly, his girlfriend, liked the food. I am writing this to complain that not only did the price go up, the portions went down & they leave with a half full belly! & he told me the menu options got'nuked' (not really sure what that means), & that he is considering taking his girlfriend elsewhere. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford giving him any more pocket change. I love my vietnamese wife, & the taste of vanilla, too much, to afford to give him any more money to take his petite girlfriend out. Also, one of the workers is really not easy on my eyes. Since when was it acceptable for waiters to wear hooded sweaters on the clock?! A terrible example for my teenage son, who has been dining here for God knows how long before I came & found out how debauched the workwear was!
I visited last week with my friends. We were a big group, & we added a few more people later, but the staff handled everything super kindly. We ordered chicken, udon, & cocktails, & the food came out really fast.
The Supreme chicken was crispy & spicy, & the Padak had a great balance of the tangy sauce & the pile of green onions on top.
The cocktail with aloe juice was super pretty & tasted great too.
Thanks again for the amazing service & delicious food! I'll definitely be back. 🫶✨
