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.
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.
Un des meilleurs restaurants si ce n'est pas le meilleur restaurant où j'ai mangé au centre-ville. Malheureusement, je n'ai pas pris de photo de mon plat par manque de temps tellement c'était bon. Un poulet général Tao comme on les aime bien rempli. La portion qu'ils offrent tu trouves ça nulle part ailleurs. J'ai tenté l'extra légumes mais ce sera la dernière fois car j'en avais assez dans mon assiette pour ce qui est du poulet 🍗 & du riz 🍚
Toujours un vrai plaisir d'aller manger au Cocodak, les employés sont super géniaux! Respectueux & adorable! L'ambiance est génial, la musique n'est pas trop forte comme dans certains autres restaurants, alors c'est parfait pour venir avec des amis & juste parler alentours d'un repas! Gros plus au soju de saveurs & à leur cocktail, super bon!! J'ai essayer presque tout sur le menu, on peut facilement trouver quelque chose pour tout les goûts, même étant vegan! Ils ont justement une entrée de tofu, super bonne!! Sinon ils ont 2 plats qui peuvent être veganisé si l'ont enlève l'oeuf sur le dessus! Leur poulets, délicieux, vraiment je conseille au moins d'essayer une fois! Sinon côté emplacement, les toilettes sont super bien entretenue! Vraiment aucun dégoût à y aller! La place super cozy & on y est très bien accueilli en tout temps!
Cocodak is a place that has been on my list for a very long time & I'm sad to say,I was disappointed with my experience there.As an appetizer,we received a spicy cabbage salad & some radish...neither were enjoyable,it didn't feel like much effort was put into the appetizer.My second appetizer was some Sweet & Spicy Boneless chicken,which was also underwhelming,the inside of the chicken felt dry & overcooked,but as a consolation,I did enjoy the crispiness of the outside.My entree was Spicy Small Octopus With Rice,the flavouring that they added i the stir fry was delicious,but the baby octopus itself was rubbery & took a long time to chew. 2/5 The service we received was just okay.The staff catered to us when needed. 3/5 My experience at the restaurant wasn't very pleasant.For one,we were seated right near the door & each & every time someone opened the door,this rush of cold wind would brush against my legs & back.We then requested to move to a different table,this time the table was near the window & although the view of the snow falling on St Catherine was beautiful,our mesmerization wouldn't last long as the windows let cold air seep in again.Not to mention,the seating areas felt a little cramped,it's as if we were sitting at one table with other people. 1/5
I can't believe I found a good soondaeguk (blood sausage soup) in Montreal. It still lacks in a few components but it is by far the best one i have had in Montreal. & it is very filling. They even provide refillable side-dishes (kimchi & pasta salad). I will definitely come back with my fellow soup lover to delight in more delicious soondaeguk.

This place deserves 4stars. Food is amazing all the time, the service is speedy & well thought out. However, the I must admit that the tables are way too small, this becomes a major inconvenience especially when a larger group comes about to enjoy themselves. Taste of food compensates for nearly everything.
This is a criminally underrated restaurant. Why did I say that? Because I few days ago, I was having a first date with someone & she recommended me this place to eat with. The moment I came to this restaurant & see the menu, my month is so watering that I can't pick which food should I take. So I picked this sweet/spicy fried chicked while my date picked a "odon-like" sea food option. I tried it (which we share), & it was month-watering fireworks. In other words- same saids to those fried chicken- it was delicious. All of it. The waiters, very nice & polite. I seriously recommend this place. If it ain't for my date, I wouldn't know this place. & I want to thank her for an awesome date. & thank you to the staff as well. 😌

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.
I've been eating there for about two years & it was always good but not great. Last time i went, the seafood didn't smell fresh & I didn't really enjoy the stew since the meat was over cooked & the fat on it constituted of half the meat which made us realize we paid a lot for very poor quality :( I really loved this restaurant but I don't think the hygiene is there anymore & that doesn't make me want to go back .
