Les avis décrivent Chimaek Gana comme une adresse incontournable pour le poulet frit coréen à Montréal, avec du poulet croustillant et savoureux dans divers styles tels que Yangnyeom et Supreme, et des portions généreuses qui se marient bien avec les accompagnements, le radis mariné et une bière bien fraîche. Le service est souvent loué pour sa gentillesse, sa rapidité et son attention, et l'ambiance est notée comme dynamique et accueillante, avec des touches pratiques comme des gants pour manger et des espaces propres et confortables. Bien que certains lecteurs mentionnent des mises à jour du menu et des fluctuations de prix, le consensus est que la nourriture est délicieuse et satisfaisante, ce qui en fait un choix populaire pour les groupes et les occasions spéciales.
A great find in Montreal's downtown area. The portions are enormous for the price. The Ttoekbokki was delicious & spicy. The fried chicken was amazing, both dishes were well seasoned, the skin was crispy while the meat was still quite juicy. The ambiance was vibrant & well decorated with names on the wall.
Love this place! The fried chicken is so good. I highly recommend for you to try the cajun cream. Wouldn't order a lot if it's a first time the portions are so big!

Chimaek Gana in downtown Montreal delivers a friendly atmosphere & generous portions of Korean fried chicken. We were late to our reservation, but the staff accommodated us & held our table, setting a friendly tone for the evening. Our server expertly guided us through popular dishes, including the flavorful Truffle Boneless Fried Chicken & the Korean army stew. Diving into our chosen dishes, the Korean Army Stew emerged as a standout, its rich flavors elevated further when opting for ramen over rice. The addition of a portable gas stove maintained the stew's warmth throughout the meal, adding a pleasant dining experience. The Truffle Boneless Fried Chicken, though had great flavours, faced a slight setback with a thick batter, resulting in a drier texture. But dipping the chicken into the flavorsome stew, helped with the texture. Note to fellow diners: selecting the drumstick option might not be as dry. The ambiance, casual yet vibrant, welcomed a mix of locals & university students, creating a lively backdrop to our dining experience. The pricing structure was fair, offering value for money with portions that left us pleasantly satiated. In terms of service, it seemed like they were understaffed, which led to some delays in water refill etc. but a small drawback on an overall warm ambiance & the staff's accommodating nature. For those navigating transportation, finding parking can be challenging, so the metro is recommended. In conclusion, Chimaek Gana provides an enticing combination of friendly service, fair pricing, & flavorful dishes, making it a a good spot for Korean fried chicken enthusiasts in Montreal.
The portion sizes are great for the price although they didn't put enough powder on the chicken even though it's called "baby powder" which left half of the chicken plain. For the sauce of the Yangnyeom chicken it tasted like cinnamon which was disappointing. The gamjatang had way to much cabbage at this point just make an entire mountain of it. The meat wasn't tender enough so I don't recommend getting it. The atmosphere was great & loved how spacious it was. If you come here I recommend to get the baby powder fried chicken. It would be great if they made a plate with all of the different flavours so I know which one I would like to get next time.
Came with a friend for dinner on a Tuesday & the place was packed. They put us on a virtual waiting list that texted a few minutes before our turn. The wait was approximately 45 minutes which was absolutely bonkers for a Tuesday night. The service was cold but at least it was attentive. The waiting staff had no interest in smiling or exchanging pleasantries. We ordered the onion rings, sweet potato fries & one of the sauced fried chickens. The Onion rings were below average, akin to what you might get at a fast food restaurant. The sweet potato fries were good, but again nothing to rave about. The chicken was fried really well, but the sauce was waaay too sweet. I actually didn't like it. Maybe I would like it more with a different sauce, but I was off put by the one we had. Overall the experience was just ok. I'd be inclined to try it again but I'm not really up to waiting that long. There are great Korean fried chicken places around without needed to be subject to just a long line up.
Nice atmosphere & service. Waiters are attentive & helpful. The fried chicken is really good & is a good portion for its price. The sides such as fries are pretty basic but it's a good portion. The spicy soup is pretty spicy so beware. Definitely recommend going there. I would suggest reserving online if you plan to go. Also note that the tables are for two hours.

The food was really good, & the servers were super nice. They accommodated us when we wanted to add one more person :) Unfortunately, for take-out, they gave us carton bowls & said that we could put soup inside. On my way home, the soup PIERCED THROUGH the bowl (like a very big hole lol) & leaked in the bag, so the bag suddenly ripped & everything inside fell on the ground. We kept the fried chicken, but we had to throw out the soup because it was pouring out of the bowl like a waterfall lmao. I actually think the situation is funny, but I recommend you ask for plastic cups/bowls if you want to take the rest of the soup home haha
We had the honey chicken & the cajun cream chicken. It was very tasty, & the staff was very courteous. Nothing more satisfying than to crunch into a fried chicken drumstick with a variety of sauces to dip in.
Thank you!
Super cute location, service was nice. As for the fried chicken, we had the Original & the spicy one(angry bird). The chicken was crispy outside & super tender/ juicy inside but the flavor did not give what they were suppose to give. Why is the Original sweet? We were confused... For 2 sec, we were like maybe it's the Honey butter they serve us?... It was way too sweet after 2 pieces you are over it.
The spicy one wasn't spicy at all...Disappointment... it tasted more like BBQ sauce somehow
As side, we had the conch salad it was tasty & Spicyyyyy but I wish there were more conch in there tbh.
The price pretty decent 74ish for 2 people

The portions are huge & the vibe is def there, super busy on a Friday night too. So many choices of delicious sounding friend chicken options. The chicken is juicy & cooked to perfection but the flavour was just not there. The honey butter tasted mostly like garlic & some weren’t even coated in flavour so I was just plain fried chicken. The Cajun cheese flavour was good too but I just wish it was coated with more of it. Service was great & the refillable pickled radish side dish was a great pair with the chicken.
Nice dark ambience, chicken was fried perfectly. The sauces could use work but that's personal preference. The spiciest options were not all that spicy.

Awesome korean fried chicken spot. The portions are huge & the price is decent for what we get. The chicken itself is moist & the batter is crispy, the sauces are amazing. The tteokbokki is also great & the servers are friendly. There is a good amount of space & two stories so there are usually enough places also.
I went here multiple times because the fried chicken is really delicious & affordable , the service is quite good. But I hope they can maintain or improve the quality & the quantity of foods. I feel both of these standards are going down by each time I come again
Food is flavorful, more than just spicy & sweet. Tons of fried chicken choices. Conch salad was refreshing & a nice break from the fried food. Perfect for group sharing
