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.
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.
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.
I tried 4 different flavors of fried chicken (supreme, honey butter, angry bird & angel onion) & my favorite flavour was Supreme, I recommend it. The fries were also very good.

- 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 was hands down the best Korean restaurant I've ever been to in Montreal. I'd recommend the supreme chickens. If you like a bit more casual, the originals are also the 2nd best!

Pretty damn good Korean friend chicken. When i went the service was pretty good, as soon we ran out of pickled radish the server refilled us each time lol. Strong recommend. They also do take out which is great.
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!

3.5 ⭐️ pour nous ! Les saveurs étaient au rendez vous. J'aurais donné 4.5⭐️ mais le seul hic pour nous était le service qui était anglophone seulement. & malgré ma réservation, ils ont faits passé 2 petits groupes avant nous & qui sont arrivés apres nous dans la file. Nous aurions aussi aimé 1 ou 2 choix végés dans les repas principaux même si leur spécialité est le poulet frit. Je recommande tout de même pour une ambiance chaleureuse.
My go-to place for Korean Fried chicken. Great quantity & nice service. Tried many different flavours & loved most of them. Highly recommend the yangnyeom, honey butter, & baby powder. I didn't like the angry bird too much. Definitely recommend everything else though. Mostly bought take out but atmosphere was very nice as well (especially the second floor).
Good chicken, I recommend the butter honey chicken. It's a classic, you can't go wrong with it. Don't get the baby powder on your chicken. Thank me later.
I have visited this restaurant on several occasions & today I recommended it to my friends. We went to dinner & received terrible service. They made a mistake with our order & when we asked, there was no apology at any time (which surprises me) Very disappointing.
The chicken left us speechless!! They are tender, full of flavours, we each choose different flavour & they are all delicious! The soup is also very delicious! Recommend to reserve in advance if you plan to go out in weekends with friends!
