The service is frequently praised for being friendly, fast, and attentive, and the atmosphere is noted as lively and welcoming, with convenient touches like gloves for eating and clean, comfortable seating. While some readers mention menu updates and price changes, the overall consensus remains that the food is delicious and consistently satisfying, making it a popular choice for groups and special occasions.
It's a really great fried chicken spot & I personally liked it a lot. Most of the chicken was really tasty & crispy, but I felt like the drumsticks weren't as well seasoned as the other pieces. The only downside is the two-person tables are a bit small, which makes it a little tight when you're eating. Other than that, I'd definitely recommend it & would come back again to try more.
Chimaek is hands down one of the best spots for Korean fried chicken in Montreal. The chicken is always crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, & packed with flavor. The sauces are especially impressive, whether you go for something sweet, spicy, or soy garlic, everything tastes authentic & perfectly balanced.
The vibe of the place is fun & lively, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. Pairing the chicken with a cold beer really completes the experience.
Service is friendly & efficient, & the portions are generous for the price. Overall, this place never disappoints. If you're craving Korean fried chicken, Chimaek is a must-try in Montreal! 10/10

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 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. 🫶✨
Definitely the best korean fried chicken in MTL. I have been here a few times & the chicken was always very crispy & juicy, but not oily. While the Supreme was my favourite fried chicken, I enjoyed the Makchang (grilled intestines) even more. Very reasonably priced spot for a date or with friends. Will definitely be back!
A bit of a disappointing experience.
We ordered truffle fries & boneless honey butter chicken. The fries were not homemade, lukewarm, & tasted nothing like truffle, instead it tasted only pamassan. We told the waiter & they gave us another fries plate, this time pretty hot without truffle flavor but it's still appreciated. & the honey butter chicken tasted really good with the sauce, just too much crispy with not enough chicken. It's the second time I visit there, again a bit disappointed. Btw, the dished takes a looooooong time 30 minutes for just fries & 1 hour for the fried chicken & it's noisy.

- sweet potato fries
- Baby Powder Chicken: sweet cheese powder, drumstick. The crust is not too thick, & very crispy which makes it delicious. The meat is not dry at all.
They provide gloves & pickled radish, which is great.
Crispy, golden, & perfectly seasoned on the outside, while juicy & tender on the inside - every bite was delicious. The flavors were spot on, & you can tell it's made fresh with care. The portions were generous, & the sides complimented the meal perfectly.
The staff was friendly & quick, & the place was clean & welcoming. If you're looking for amazing fried chicken, this is the spot. Highly recommend!
This place is renowned for their Korean fried chicken. We ordered their crispy chicken skins, classic fried chicken wings & tteokbokki . The wings were very crunchy but the Tteokbokki was my personal favorite.

I recently dined at a Korean restaurant & tried the Yangnyeom Chicken. It was absolutely delicious-perfectly crispy with a flavorful spicy-sweet glaze. Highly recommend!
The food was amazing & the waiters were very nice!! I tried their army stew last time & I loved it. It's perfect for the colder weather. This time we got the beef nabe & the Bul Galbi (bulgogi flavored fried chicken), & it did not disappoint! Beef nabe was very a clean but flavorful soup while the fried chicken stayed crispy even when it was swimming in sauce! Highly recommend!
Chimaek Gana serves some of the best fried chicken in Montreal! The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside & incredibly juicy & tender on the inside, with flavors that burst no matter which option you choose. The service is impressively fast, & the staff is warm & welcoming. A must-visit for any fried chicken lover!

The flavors are hit or miss. The boneless Cajun à la crème chicken we had was very dry with barely enough sauce, as the chicken didn't seem marinated. However, the drumsticks are always crispy & juicy. The waiters are friendly, & the atmosphere is amazing, though the tables are relatively close to each other. Reserve before going if you don't want to wait.
The food is amazing here! Fried chicken is juicy & crispy & the fishcake soup was delicious. Just note that the tables are very small (especially emphasized when there's a whole gas stove on it) so you feel cramped in it. The service wasn't very attentive, you always have to call a waiter to receive service & they never come check on you. Same thing for the host, we waited 10 mins at the entrance while having a reservation & we had to call for his attention for him to come greet us
We had the Bul Galbi fried chicken it was so delicious & the sauce is amazing! The portions are generous , korean fried chicken is so crispy ! I had the baby powder it was okay ! I would try other flavors !
I came here like 3 times now! The chicken are always so crispy no doubt😍🫶The flavours were also so so parfait.I recommend the canjun & angel onion 🪽.Would def come back :)
