Across reviews of Comon, fried chicken is consistently praised for crispiness, juiciness and a flavorful coating, with the sweet and spicy sauce highlighted as a standout and dishes like gimbap, pancakes, boneless chicken and a spicy pork rice bowl frequently mentioned as favorites, with some calling it the best fried chicken in Montreal, and orders picked up are often hot and ready quickly, contributing to a positive impression. Yet experiences vary: a takeout order occasionally showed inconsistent portions with little meat and even hints of off smells, leading some to say they would not return; other feedback points to small portions for the price and delivery orders that were not as crispy or were seen as only decent compared with other Korean spots. Service and atmosphere receive mixed notes too, ranging from friendly and efficient to minimal effort and higher prices, but the overall sentiment remains that the food is worth trying, especially the crispy chicken with sauce on the side to enjoy the texture, with rice cakes and pancakes also standing out despite the occasional disappointment.
Best Korean fried chicken in town! As a big fan of fried chicken, this place is my go to. Crispy, juicy & flavourful. The sweet & spicy sauce is the highlight.
I went there because all the nice reviews, but I am disappointed. Food is ok, nothing special, not as good as other Korean restaurants. The service is very basic too.
For about 25$, you get to enjoy some flavourful Korean fried chicken which was quite tasty. I really enjoyed how the chicken was still tender & juicy which isn't the case in a lot of other restaurants. I do however feel like the portions are a bit small. I don't know why but I was expecting the food to be served with rice & appetisers but there was none of that. The chicken was also not really crispy but that's a given since it was a delivery order. I would love to go eat at the restaurant & try their fried chicken served fresh, it would be so much better. The sauces were quite flavourful & balanced in flavours which was great. They paired so well with the fried chicken & the salad.
Ordered on Ubereats & the chicken came as the smallest portion possible - definitely the smallest compared to other similar Korean restaurants' in similar price range. Chicken is also dried & hard.
I've been a Comon customer since 2018, & I still go there. Simply because it's a bit hard to find a better restaurant since Shabu Shabu closed their business. I'll keep the review short. Quality : Hard to find better Korean restaurants in Montreal 5/5 Quantity : Decent portions 5/5 Price : Since the pandemic, prices have risen drastically. I'd give them a 3/5 as a full chicken for $50 is just out of control. Service : Acceptable. Like many restaurants, they overpromise ETA pickup time. I hate this because they know that if the ETA is too long, people will cancel order. 3/5 All in all, 4/5 is a fair score.

Best fried chicken in town. The chicken stays crispy throughout the entire meal & the sauces are seasonned just right. The sweet & spicy chicken is not really spicy at all, but still very delicious. The basic soy sauce & garlic is just perfect. Try it for yourself! They provide small side dishes that are very well marinated & pairs well with the chicken. The portion for the japchae is very generous, we had to bring it home. This is run by a korean family & I have been clients of them for years, & the quality has never lessened. This is authentic korean food. I highly recommend.

Cute little Korean place with delicious fried chicken! We had the chicken combo & a kimchi pancake which was fire. Only minus points are the bathroom was a little dirty & the food is kinda expensive imo. Would still recommend!
Favorite spot in the city for Korean Fried Chicken. Their prices are fair & the portions are good, staff is always friendly & its always a treat to visit them.
I am Korean myself & do not necessarily go to Korean restaurant often. Based on the google review, I have decided to give it a try & did some take out & it is a success. I tried the original fried chicken, small gimbap (Vegetarian) & mini mandu to share with the child. Everything was packed nicely & priced fairly. The pieces of chicken are large, juicy & crispy & gimbap have simple ingredients but very flavorful. Mini mandu was a big hit for the child, & we had a great supper. I am looking forward to try other Korean dishes such as bibimbap & stir fried dishes next time. Glad to have a nice authentic Korean restaurant in the neighborhood.
