I love the boneless chicken 🍗.. Me & my wife always order take out here if we are lazy to cook. Its crispy & juicy in the inside. The sauce too it compliments well with the chicken. My wife likes the onion sauce.

Nice little cozy place to enjoy fried chicken. It was delicious, crispy & tender juicy inside. Really recommend! Fries were extra crunchy & dumplings were good. I need to try the creamy udon noodles with tempura shrimp next time.

It worth all pennies you spend here. Its really Kentucky but Korean style & much more quality. If you're in the mood for some straightforward, no-frills fried chicken, this is the place to be. 🍗 They don't serve alcohol here, focusing solely on delivering perfectly crispy fried chicken, made fresh right after you order. Whether you prefer your chicken non-spicy or just a tad spicy, make sure to communicate your spice preferences to the friendly service staff. 🌶? For those visiting for the first time, don't hesitate to ask for recommendations-they're more than happy to guide you through their menu.

The ambiance here is remarkably clean & welcoming, with spotless interiors & washrooms to match. 🧼 It's worth noting that the menu at this location differs from the one at the Mount Royal outlet, as this spot specializes exclusively in fried chicken. Lastly, remember to allow some time for your order to be prepared, as each dish is fried fresh upon request. This ensures your chicken is as hot & crispy as it gets! ?

The food was flavorful & fresh, especially their signature Korean style fried chicken, which was crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside. The variety of sauces offered added a great twist to the meal. The ambiance was cozy & welcoming, & the staff was attentive & friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. If you're craving authentic Korean style fried chicken, DaWa Chicken Restaurant is definitely worth a visit!

While walking down the street, my child said she wanted to eat chicken, so I went in & it was a Korean chicken restaurant. The fried chicken as well as the seasoned chicken were crispy & moist on the inside by the time I finished eating them. There wasn't a lot of oil on the outside of the chicken, so it wasn't greasy. All the staff were friendly. I'll come again next time.

Amazing spot for Korean chicken, no wonder a lot of people say that this is the best in MTL. Chicken was crispy & had a lot of flavour, serving/portion was pretty big too for $33ish dollars just perfect for 3-4 people.
