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.
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.
Everytime I go the food is very good. The fried chicken with thicker sauces are always the best (e.g. yangnyeom & Supreme). They come in 8 pieces per plate. The powdered chicken & honey butter are a little dry, so not my favorites. The soft pork intestines were also tasty, but too spicy for me despite the menu saying it wasn't (I'm with spice normally).
The bathrooms are always clean & the vibe is great. Service is a little slow (water, bill, limited on free pickled radishes), but ok if you want to chat longer (they'll still ask you to leave if you stay too long, but that's reasonable in my opinion since it was a busy). No need for appetizers since the 8 chicken will be very filling already.
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.
One of the best Korean fried chicken in town. Lovely place with cozy environment for friends & family. The portion is quite generous for 24$. Beware it will be more than an adult to take one order, perhaps 1.5 unless you are very hungry. What we usually do is to come in as 3 people: 2 portion of fried chicken & 1 chicken skin. Oh, & the Seafood JammBBong (seafood stew hotpot) is very good too, but it's spicy!!
The staff is very friendly too
A+
Stunning Korean fried chicken. The seafood jjambbong i had was pretty bland, i didn't know why. I have ordered a several take out of their fried chicken After my first visit, here are a summary:
-baby powder: 5⭐/5⭐, simple, tasty, & not overpowering
-angry bird: 3⭐/5⭐, not a big fan of the sour spicy sauce, became monotone After a short while.
- honey butter: 3⭐/5⭐, too sweet for me
- yangnyeom: 4⭐/5⭐, classic Korean sauce, sweet & with flavors
- truffle fried chicken: 4⭐/5⭐, elevated by the parmesan cheese. Could get a little flavor fatigue in midway.
- supreme : 5⭐/5⭐, creamy & full of flavours.
I wish to try their cajun cream, but it's no longer there (at least for the 3 times that i asked) I'll see if i try more flavors & update the post

- 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.
Reservation recommended.

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!
I have visited this restaurant before & I had a great service which is why I was excited to visited again. However, when I visited there yesterday, the service wasn't great. The Angry bird boneless chicken was not tasty & my friend & I notified the server about this. She simply responded saying'what should I do'? She showed no empathy at all & it was frankly disappointing. I don't think I will be visiting again
