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.
This is truly one of my my FAVOURITE restaurants in Montreal. I highly recommend the honey butter fries & the angel onion chicken. It's a yogurt-onion sauce. So saucy & yummy!
Nice bar atmosphere. I order the "angry bird " spicy sauce expecting a red spicy korean sauce but when it came it only taste like soy garlic sauce. I doubled check with the waitress & she confirmed it is what we order. It was not spicy at all, from a authentic korean fried chicken place I would expect the sauce be at least spicy. The wings were also tiny. The $10 baby powered fries were okay...small portions

It's not the first time I visited here with my fam or friends. The previous experiences were good but this time I was DISAPPOINTED. Good food, unfriendly service! We arrived at Chimaek at 18:30 & approximately after one hour, a young lady with dimples came to ask us if we are done. There was still food in plates & we were confused, being asked this question at this time. Moreover, we noticed that the people who came before us were still enjoying the food--No one came to ask them if they were done! After being asked this question, I check with my friends & said that "Yes we are done!" She replied & then IMMEDIATELY started to take all the plates & clean up. After the clean up, she also asked if we are ready for bill & brought the machine for payment RIGHT AWAY! Can you believe that? This is INCREDIBLE. I'm curious why we were the only group being asked? Are u trying to tell us that we should leave? Or is it because we were the only group speaking mandarin during that time (with 2 tables of people speaking Korean & other tables of people speaking English)? I've been to many other restaurants in Montreal but this is the first time that I leave a negative comment! Your staff should LEARN how to RESPECT other people.
We were mainly here for the Korean fried chicken, they have a bunch of other delicious looking dishes as well. There is a decent selection of flavors for the fried chicken. They taste great & the portions are big, with a pint of Sapporo it's a nice meal.
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.
Very cool place for Korean fried chicken :) reasonable price & quantity (See images for ref.) Fried chicken platters are around 22-28$ Service is on point. Batter is light & fluffy. The flavour comes mainly from the sauce. They have a good amount of flavour choices & along with the flavour choice you can also choose the "cut"; Boneless/Drumsticks/Wings I have had the "opportunity" (went 3 times this month :D) to try the: Nyeomtta: Very spicy (buldak spicy noodle like sauce) comes garnished with the actual noodle & topped with seaweed flakes. Bul galbi: The marinade probably most comon at most kbbq joints for the beef. (Sweet) comes with some veggies & rice cakes. Honey butter: I found it a tad too sweet but its honey so it is expected. Buttery taste was strong. Perfect if you are sharing with someone that ordered the Nyeomtta. Truffle: Very aromatic & strong truffle taste. This one had no sauce but is submerged in Parmesan. Pleasant surprise Comes with unlimited pickled radish too but last time I went (yesterday) there seemed to be an issue with the daikon prep so the waitress went & got us a bunch of take out radish. Super cool of her 🫰🏻 Dining room decorations were very cool. Nice ambience. Two floor layout with a basement kitchen making the dumb waiter usage a very cool system. All in all recommended if you are looking for great korean fried chicken with very reasonable price. For someone who eats a lot (I think) one order was more than enough. Good enough for two people with less appetite 🙂 Will go back without a doubt.
The music is a bit too loud for my taste, I had difficulty hearing my friends a lot. Not the best if you just want to vibe, eat & drink... Other than that, the food is good. Soju is a bit expensive, but all restaurants that serve soju charge a lot here 😅

A Korean experience to be messed with ! Fried chicken bathed in signature sauces & spices, complemented with truffle & parmesan fries & some spicy salad, mouthwatering & filling. Very friendly staff, & the portions are huge making it a very price convenient visit. Must try !
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 dine in with my friends & we ordered tteokbokki, gamjatang, sweet potatoe fries, & fried chicken Angel Onion. The next morning, me & my friends ended up with HORRENDOUS food poisoning.... The food was delicious & it wasn't our first time dining there but it was our first food poisoning.
i've been to this restaurant so many times with groups of 5~6 people, such a great spot to eat at! if you come early, you will immediately get assigned a seat even if you're a lot. the food is phenomenal, i've actually never tasted such delicious chicken anywhere else & the prices are so affordable for how big & filling the portions are! the atmosphere of the place is very relaxing & makes you feel comfy in its confines. my personal favorite would be the baby powder fries, they're thin but incredibly tasty, it's definitely worth a try!
Check your garnishes if you order their soups/hotpot dishes. We found moldy garnish on a soup we ordered that I asked to be swapped out for a new one, yet now coming home I found myself with some mild food poisoning symptoms. Also our soup was missing ingredients as described on the menu, we ordered the pork bone soup with potatoes & there weren't any potatoes at all (the best part is arguably the potatoes) The chicken as ok, too much batter but it was perfectly cooked. Chicken was tender just like any good Korean fried chicken place. Slight disappointment, but maybe I ordered wrong & should have went with their higher volume/turnover dishes.
Ordered the bulgogi fried chicken from here several times. Recently it's noticeable that the meat is not fresh, I really like the way how they prepare fried chicken, hopefully they take more attention to the food safety.
A late review for one of my favorite fried chicken stores 🤩. Their portions are great, their fried chicken are fried super well that it stays crunchy! &, the saucing is generous. It's important to note that the different sauce & topping options are on the sweeter & saltier side personally. Their baby powder is also like a powdered sugar & parmesan mix if people are curious. That said, their options are very creative, there's fried chicken with tteokbokki or ramen with seaweed. There's also unlimited of radish pickles. It's important to note for spicy lovers that most of the spicy options aren't too spicy, more on the level of sweet & sour. There's not much non-alcoholic drink options as well compared to their alcohol selection, but they're still updating their menu, so hope this changes. But, definitely a great get together place with friends. Note that like, three plates might be enough for four people! One plate just for a person, well you're getting some nice leftovers to bring back.
Fried chicken was good but the rest was just okay. Service is good though. If you look for a place, which opens late, to have fried chicken, it could be one.
