Cuisine Coréenne Cocodak specializes in the preparation of authentic Korean fried chicken, characterized by a distinctively light, shattered-glass crust achieved through a double-frying technique. Each batch of poultry is coated in house-made glazes ranging from pungent garlic soy to aggressive chili-infused spice profiles. Beyond the signature chicken, the menu incorporates traditional Korean side dishes and crisp, refreshing salads designed to balance the richness of the fried proteins. Patrons encounter a focused culinary environment where the equipment and preparation methods prioritize speed and consistency. The kitchen emphasizes high-quality ingredients, ensuring that the moisture of the meat remains intact under the heavy crunch of the batter. This establishment maintains a dedicated approach to Korean comfort food traditions, delivering bold, savory flavors in a modern, streamlined setting that favors culinary precision.
Cuisine Coréenne Cocodak is widely considered a top destination in Montreal for authentic Korean cuisine, particularly celebrated for its exceptional fried chicken which remains crispy and flavorful. Patrons consistently praise the welcoming atmosphere, cozy decor, and the attentive, professional service provided by the staff. While the menu offers a diverse array of dishes like seafood pancakes, bibimbap, and various stews that are generally described as fresh and delicious, the restaurant is viewed as a versatile spot suitable for both casual dates and larger group gatherings. Despite some recent feedback regarding rising prices and occasional variations in food quality, the majority of visitors highlight the restaurant as a consistent, high-quality dining experience that earns repeat visits for its savory flavors and reliable hospitality.
No words could describe how good the food was. Every bite taken was delicious. Flavours meshed so well together. Loved the richness of all the sauces. Fried chicken was top 3 in my book. Everything was amazing & prices were very very fair. Looking forward to coming back
This place was already my favorite korean restaurant in Montreal for a few years now, but today, it somehow got even better. We had the sweet & spicy fried chicken, & it was downright a spiritual experience. The chicken was droused in the most delicious sauce, yet it stayed crispy for 20min while we slowly savoured it. The thigh piece took me to another dimension. With a side of tteokbokki with cheese & some somaek, if I'm even on death row, I swear will make this my last meal. I would recommend literally everything on Cocodak's menu, I love this place, & I will be back. It's not even that pricey. Thank you, & keep doing what you do
Amazing Korean fried chicken in downtown. Loved the spicy Korean fried chicken, although it was not spicy at all it was more sweet. We did ask for extra spicy but it's fine it was still really good. The breading layer was thing & the chicken was really juicy, would go again for sure. We also had the beef galbi plate from the sharing section. It was a bit pricier but worth the price. It has a lot of beef, very generous. The flavour was as expected but it was a bit too oily to my liking. Overall solid place, would go again for the fried chicken & discover something new on the menu.

Excellent service! We were a group of 5 & had 2 wait staff taking great care of us!!! They were very kind, polite, professional & extremely efficient!!!✨✨✨✨✨
We ordered a whole fried chicken, seafood crêpe, beef with sweet potato noodles, daikon, kimchi & cole slaw sides & a regular corean sushi. Everything was exceptional! We were all full & very happy with our choices! Great for a date night but also great for groups because you can choose more of a variety of dishes on the menu to share.
A very pleasant & delicious evening had by all!!!

I ordered a bibimbap, a seafood pancake, & sweet-spicy fried chicken.
All there were served quickly within 10 mins, & were very delicious!
The bibimbap was savory & fresh.
The seafood pancake was crunchy, not oily, the shrimp & octopus slices were perfectly cooked but tender.
The fried chicken had a leg piece, wings & breasts. All 4 pieces were crunchy, the sauce was great & not too salty, the meat was very tender on all pieces.
Everything including the free appetizers (kimchi, etc.) were perfect. My complements to the great chefs!
Ordered on uber eats two different times… really good bulgog & fried chicken… but what I truly LOVED was the kimchi. DAYUMMM it was delicious! I even mixed the leftover juice & mixed it with mayo… nothing went to waste lol! Thanks!
