Reviews describe Chimaek Gana as a go-to spot for Korean fried chicken in Montreal, offering crispy, flavorful chicken in a variety of styles such as Yangnyeom and Supreme, with generous portions that pair well with sides, pickled radish, and a cold beer. 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
We only had fried chicken & I can say they have the best fried chicken taste in downtown Montreal. The service is nice & the servers are really awesome they had really good recommendations.
I live nearby, been a regular since 2023. This time food really slaps I had to give a review.
I ordered:
- Nagasaki Udon (Soup)
- Makchang (Hotplate Intestines spicy Mala)
- Green Onion Chicken
- a portion of Takoyaki for free just had to post an Instagram story
Hands down this is a must go for Korean Fried Chicken in town, good food must go with a price. Its 10/10 worth it
Thanks for being very generous with the green onion

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 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.
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!
This used to be the place I frequently go with friends with reasonable price fried chicken & good beer, but now the menu is completely changed. Fried chicken is no longer affordable, there are way less choices, & the portion is smaller. It's now just another over-priced korean place with ok-ish food
Came on Sunday the 26th of October & the fried chicken was SO salty. I think they might have put too much salt in the fried chicken batter because the sauce itself wasn't what was salty. The food overall went down since they opened & the menu seems smaller with less chicken flavours & types ,only boneless (which is cut too thin) or drums.
The music choice was questionable, until 9Pm songs like Gucci Gang, Megan thee stallion & Cardi B were blasting. Floor staff were nice.

This used to be our favorite place that we go every month but suddenly, they changed their menu & the dishes were a lot different. The fried chicken portion was smaller than before & they increased the price as well. We normally order Supreme with the Korean red sauce but this last round the sauce tastes almost exactly like ketchup.
Now, if I would choose KFC over than this place
The tteokbokki ingredients were weird & the portion was less than before.
We used to love their fried chicken skin & corn cheese that were reasonably priced but they totally removed those items from the menu.
In the past, I would recommend this to everyone as the e best fried chicken in MTL. Now, I will not go there anymore unless they change back to the way before.
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.
