    Junk on the tables in an empty restaurant.
    Leesa-Catherine S.

    I went in for the first time today at lunch with my son as my date. Odd little place - don't go for the ambience, there isn't much. It's not fancy or terribly cheap and out of 8 tables, 5 of them had junk and supplies on them. French tv blasting AND an English cd playing on the stereo at the same time makes for a lot of conflicting noise. We were the only diners the whole time we were there. He had the 1/2 & 1/2, I had a Tao meal. The chicken......really, really good. The man working there was lovely and couldn't have been more attentive to us. I would absolutely go again but I'd order it to go.

    I've heard a few people told me how good this place is, so I gave it a try and went there... It's expensive and not that good. I've tried the full chicken half-half. The sauce okay, and the half without sauce was just fried chicken. Really nothing wow. The mustard sauce that was on the side was also good. It was suppose to come with fries and coleslaw, we never got our coleslaw... We also took Stir fried udon and spicy pork noodles. The Udon portion was tiny and was 8$. The portion is smaller than what a young kid could eat... We initially wanted to order bulgogi, but the waiter told us they ran out of bulgogi (Saturday 6pm) and we were only 2 tables (they wanted bulgogi too, but no more)... The service was so so...we ordered a pepsi that never came. We had to ask for napkins, because he brought us plates and forks only...even though another table asked for napkins before us. Technically, you should realize that you should bring napkins to other tables too...

    KFC finally in Montreal..... Nope, this is not about the Colonel....I'm talkin bout Korean fried chicken. Finally a good spot in the town that does some yummy fried chicken. The Sunsal Pa-Dak is my favorite. Crispy fried boneless chicken served with spring onions and wasabi spiced soy sauce. Also tried their half and half. Two types of chicken (deep fried And sweet and spicy) served with fries. Not a big fan of chicken with bone though. Will definitely be back to try other dishes Food : Great Service : O_o Ambiance : o_O Worth the price : Affirmative

    Fried chicken everywhere

    I've actually never enjoyed eating fried chicken because most of the time the chicken is sand dry and it's hard to swallow. DaWa proved me wrong. Not only were their fried chicken moist but they contained no traces of oil. It's like comitting the perfect crime and erasing all traces of evidence. What kind of sorcery is this? The best kind I suppose. I also asked for the spiciest chicken they had and I wasn't dissapointed. To some, this might be a punch in the face but I found it comfortably spicy - definitely stronger than your typical bottle of Sriracha. It was spicy as biting into a fresh thai pepper but without the lingering burn. Overall, the best fried chicken I've had at a reasonable price. I challenge chicken haters to still loathe chicken after they've been at this place.

    I tried a few korean fried chickens spots. This one has to be the best so far! They proof their name pretty well: "best korean fried chicken". I took the half-half bone-in. Both flavors didn't disappoint. The portion is good for two people or two meals for one person. It comes with a salad & a sauce on the side. The price is similar to other places. I liked the design of their menu & the decoration of their restaurant. The pink wall & the stuffed toys on the bench gives a very cozy vibe. They have a little card for you which is like a little game if you really like their chicken. Plus, it is a good marketing strategy.

    Two types of fried wings, crispy and medium spicy

    A friend of a friend recommended this place as a must try when we were in Montreal. Trendy? No…read more Loud? No. Tasty food in an old school setting? Yes! This restaurant reminds me of the types of places I used to go to with my parents and grandparents. It just brought back a sense of nostalgia. We got here right when they opened on a Sunday morning and were one of the first tables there. When we told the servers that we were visiting from the US and that Chalet came highly recommended, they took pity on us (rightfully so) and then gave us a 5 star experience. We got the chicken special that came with fries, baked potato, Cole slaw and chicken soup and you cannot forget about the gravy! I'm not a Cole slaw conossieur but it was some of the Cole slaw I've ever had. Very finely shredded and the perfect combo of tangy and sweet. The chicken was perfectly roasted and I was so sad that I was getting full off of all the homestyle sides that I couldn't eat all the chicken. But the gravy? Good god that gravy, it's been weeks and I'm still thinking about it. I'm not even a big gravy person but this was savory heavy with a kick at the end. They gave us multiple cups, one for dipping and one for slipping! Come for the food and service, this place is full of regulars and appreciate the hospitality from our servers (I believe Janet or Janice and another friendly lady!)

    Another great experience. Delicious food, consistently nice service (we tend to always have the…read moresame waitress and she was great). It seemed busier today than usual with other diners so it was very lively but it was still easy to hear each other talk (and the service was still fast). Cozy, warm, delicious chicken and fries... it's also the only place I at least take bites of my coleslaw... overall, it was great.

    I first saw this place on instagram and their photos are so enticing I knew I'd be visiting…read moreeventually. It took a while but I finally had the time to go on a rainy day. It is a bit hard to find, the address brings you to a different storefront and it is located behind with its own parking lot and outside eating area. The outside eating area but it is not the best when raining as the tarp that covers the area is prone to overflow but it is very cute and in the summer it's ideal. I ordered the Mac and cheese and the Becky sliders. I was very pleasantly surprised by the Mac and cheese, and if you know me you know that's high praise. I am very passionate about Mac and cheese. The cheese is creamy without being sticky, and it's seasoned just right as to taste the cheese but with a kick. The sandwich was also great, the chicken was really juicy without being too watery or too hot with the fried portion slipping off. It was a 10/10 experience for me and I already can't wait to go back!

    We were told that this weekend marked the begining of brunch at Bucky Roosters and we could not be…read moremore pleased. Fried chicken for brunch? Um, yes. We only tried the first item on the menu but if it's any indication of how good the rest may be we think this was a good direction to go with. But truly, the main reason for our visit was the keylime pie  - which did not dissapoint. A ginger bread crust and a sour cream topping sounds like a gamble but it pays off. It's worth cheating on any type of diet you might be on.
