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
Excellent service. Les cocktails suju sont excellents. Les plats ont beaucoup de goût. Demandez une sauce avec le poulet frit, lequel est incontournable! Les à côtés sont bien agréables. Délicieux. Nickel. Chaud bouillant. Je suis pleine. C'est maintenant l'heure de la sieste. À deux pas pour aller jouer aux meilleurs arcades de mtl après!

Toujours une adresse à laquelle je pense quand je suis de retour à Montréal. C'est bon, c'est réconfortant & c'est gentiment & rapidement servi. Leur poulet fait l'unanimité & le bibimbap serait encore plus savoureux si je pouvais le manger sans que ça me brûlé la bouche (la sauce est un peu trop piquante pour moi 😁).
L'ambiance est sympathique, assez étudiante, mais la musique demeure un peu forte à mon goût (ou peut être que je suis rendue vieille & sensible 😅)
Bref, une très bonne adresse, sympathique & qui ne déçoit jamais ❤?
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!
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! ❤?
Food was DELICIOUS!!! Had Japchae & bibimbap. Staff were semi-knowledgeable on vegan options but had to be told no fish sauce or egg LOL. If you are vegan make sure to be clear on what you can't eat exactly.
Cocodak's fried chicken is one of my favorite dishes to order from their menu. The chicken is tender & juicy, coated with a flavorful batter that has just the right amount of spice & crunch. The fried tofu is another delicious option, especially for vegetarians. It is cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior & a soft & fresh interior. The tofu pairs well with the sweet & tangy sauce that comes with it. I highly recommend trying both the fried chicken & the tofu at Cocodak, as they are satisfying & tasty.
