Cocodak is widely praised for tasty and authentic Korean dishes, with standout fried chicken, dumplings, bibimbap, bossam, jaeyuk, and dwaeji gomtang, plus generous portions across a broad menu. The yogurt soju is frequently recommended and the kimchi and side dishes are highlighted as especially good. Service is described as friendly and patient, with staff helpful about allergies and even when language barriers arise. The atmosphere tends to be welcoming and casual, sometimes described as student friendly, though a few comments note the space is not the nicest or cleanest. Prices are regarded as a good value by many, while others find certain items a bit pricey. A brunch menu is offered on weekends and is well received, though it is limited compared to the regular dinner lineup. Some reviews mention a drop in food quality compared to earlier visits, but most dishes are still rated delicious, savory, and well prepared. Overall, Cocodak comes across as a reliable, family run spot and a hidden gem for Korean flavors that delivers strong, comforting meals even as a few aspects could improve.
One of the best korean restaurants in Montreal. I really recommend this place
Edit : after years of coming here, the prices went up by a lot. You can find better korean food somewhere else with better prices. Also 10.99$ for corn cheese?! That's robbery. I can make it at home for less than 5$
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.

It was so good,they were patient with me when I tried to order in korean,it was really nice,this will not be my last time going there. Thank you for the delicious food
A lot of decorations to hide the dust, not so clean inside, food wasnt to our taste, very salty ramen, we told the waiter after 1 bite of the ramen that we didnt like it & we would like to return the dish, they still charged us for the dish, looked at us in a weird way, whispered to her collegue & I even saw then put the dish aside for some reason & not dumping it(i suspect the staff is gonna eat it in the back). Very strong marketing with a lot of influencers talking about this restaurant. If youre looking for authentic korean food this is more like a fast food korean restaurant.
Cocodak was a good experience. I got the huge platter & shared it with my partner. It was great to taste all of the flavors of the side dishes & the beef.
The atmosphere was very similar to other Korean places I've been to; clean, soft colors, with the smell of Korean food lingering.
Overall, it was a good experience. It's not too special, but ita good place to get Korean food.

The best Korean restaurant I've ever been to! The menu is full of variety, especially their crispy fried chicken with a range of rich, flavorful sauces. My favorite is the bibimbap with fried chicken drumsticks just thinking about it makes me want to go back!
The restaurant is spacious, making it perfect for meals with family or friends. The dishes are beautifully presented, with vibrant colors that make them even more appetizing. It's a place where you can explore a wide selection of Korean flavors. Truly unforgettable! ❤?
Staff always so friendly! Place cozy food amazing thats all i gotta say it never disappoint! The owner is welcoming i give it a 5 stars I recommend everyone to go😊!! Will always be the best korean restaurant in town
Korean style chicken is amazing! My kids like your chicken. & there's severs are kind. When I ask something to them they notice it quickly. Exactly there is good restraint.

Most refreshing & authentic korean dish for the summer : Naeng myeon ❤️ 1000/10 Pair it with your favorite dish & it's 😘 Teokbokki is savory & delicious 10/10 Fried chicken balls were my overcooked & dry :/ 5/10
Very disappointed 😞 the fried chicken was one of the worst korean fried chicken I ever had, so dry it was almost unedible. The seafood pancake is the reason I gave a 2 stars , I guess it saved the day to avoid the 1 star review.
Honestly korean food in Montreal is sad. Kimchi was 7-8 dollars for 200 grams whatever that spicy pork with rice was but def not bokeum :(( Tasted okay ish but would not order again, sorry 😞
Best Korean in town! I always order number17(sweet & spicy boneless chicken)on their menu. The sushi plate is not bad, I ordered the shrimp ones- but if you don't like fried shrimps I do not recommend. Also I had the bulgogi soup with sweet potato noodles( number41)to share which is so delicious. Overall the experience at this place is always satisfactory.

My favourite Korean place in Montreal so far! They have a great selection of authentic Korean dishes that I love! The japchae & bibimbap are really good. Going to come back to have the tteokbokki
All the usual korean dishes we ordered were very tasty! The spicy fried chicken had an extra kick, gamjatang more meat & rich flavored kimchi jigae soup! Service was quick too!
