DawaChi is easily among the best Korean fried chicken I've had in Montreal. I've tried many Korean chicken spots, & this one stands out as the best overall. The flavor is great & when it's at its best, the chicken is absolutely delicious.

That said, there are times when the chicken can be a bit dry, so consistency is really the main thing I wish they would improve.

Overall though, it's still very good. I order from them often, either from this location or the Mont-Royal one, which is closer to me. The Mont-Royal location only does boneless chicken, while I personally prefer bone-in, so I still come back to DawaChi regularly. The fact that I order from them so often says a lot - it's definitely a solid choice for Korean fried chicken in Montreal.

We order the half & half chicken, & they are willing to customize our order. The signature fried chicken is really delicious! Their snowy onion chicken is one of the best fried chicken we had. Highly recommend!

My parents & I went to this local shop after a winter concert nearby. The atmosphere was warm, the food was fresh & this service was very good. The fried chicken made my frown turn upside down. Great way to support local businesses.

Hands down, best Korean fried chicken in Montreal. The crispiness, the spicy umami sauce, the melting-tender chicken meat - ouf. Super friendly staff & so accommodating to requests. Kahmsamida!

Ordered from there last night, not my first time for sure... but just had to write again how ridiculously delicious everything they make is... but mostly the fried chicken (I get boneless, half half) the salads & the dressings... OMG the dressings... & the pickled radish (always order an extra one). Outstanding.
