Reviews portray Cuisine Coréenne Cocodak as a popular downtown Korean spot with a broad menu, where fried chicken, beef galbi, bibimbap, tteokbokki, and dumplings draw strong praise, and the service is consistently friendly and efficient; the atmosphere is described as relaxed and welcoming, making it suitable for dates or larger groups, while portions are generous and the flavors authentically Korean, with many noting enjoyable textures and a comforting variety of dishes. Some feedback points to rising prices and occasional value concerns, a few diners mentioning oily notes or that certain items could be spicier, and comments that the cleanliness or ambiance may not be the strongest aspect; overall, a reliable go-to that delivers a solid experience and offers the chance to explore a wide range of Korean flavors.
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
An incredibly cozy Korean restaurant on Rue Sainte-Catherine that has the best staff & service 😇😇 We love the decor of the restaurant with its super natural plants theme ❤?❤? We made reservations & started with the seafood pancake that was so delicious & then moved onto the main meal where I had the boneless chicken with honey mustard while my friend had bibimbab (pork) & so so tasty ❤?❤? Our full compliments to the chefs for making such delicious food 🙏🙏 Perfect 10/10 Korean venue to hang out with friends & enjoy the best food with great service 😇😇
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.
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$
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! ❤?

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
