Fried chicken in Chinatown, Ottawa

820 Somerset Street West puts Kozhi right in Ottawa's Chinatown, under the Somerset Street arch and among the pho houses, bakeries, and BBQ counters the strip is known for. We're proud to add fried chicken to the block — double-dredged, glazed in Gochujang or Ghee Roast, and built to share. If you're wandering Somerset for dinner, we're an easy stop; if you're making a night of Chinatown, start or end it with a feast and a glass of champagne.

Every plate starts the same way — brined long, dredged twice, fried hot — then finished in your choice of Gochujang or Ghee Roast. Come in for the five-course Super Kozhi feast, or order takeout for pickup at 820 Somerset Street West.

On the Somerset strip

Ottawa's Chinatown runs along Somerset Street West beneath its painted Royal Arch, and it's one of the city's genuinely great eating streets — pho and hand-pulled noodles, banh mi, Cantonese BBQ, bubble tea, late bakeries. Kozhi is proud to cook on this block, and we think fried chicken belongs in the conversation: double-dredged, glazed in Korean Gochujang or South-Indian-inspired Ghee Roast, and built to share the way the whole street likes to eat.

Make us a stop on a Chinatown crawl or the whole evening. The kitchen runs late, the champagne list is deeper than the neighbourhood expects, and the arch is a two-minute walk away when you're ready to keep exploring.

Getting here

You'll find us on Somerset Street West, near the Chinatown arch and among the strip's pho houses, bakeries, and BBQ counters. It's a flat, easy walk from anywhere along Somerset, with street parking on the block and the nearby side streets. From further out, Somerset Street is well served by bus, and the Confederation Line LRT is a short ride or walk from the east end of Chinatown.
