About

DaWa Chicken specializes in authentic Korean fried chicken, emphasizing a signature double-frying technique that ensures an exceptionally crispy, thin crust while maintaining succulent meat. The menu features a diverse selection of house-made sauces ranging from traditional sweet and spicy gochujang glazes to savory soy garlic marinades that coat every piece uniformly. Each order is prepared fresh, highlighting the contrast between the crunchy exterior and tender interior that defines this culinary style. Beyond the core poultry offerings, the selection includes complementary sides such as pickled radishes designed to balance the richness of the fried proteins. The environment focuses on functionality and efficiency, prioritizing the delivery of hot, flavor-packed dishes for casual consumption. This establishment serves as a dedicated destination for enthusiasts seeking precise Korean preparation methods and consistent flavor profiles in a streamlined, modern setting.

1/2 portion of bone-in #3 (fried chicken & Korean Tao chicken). Comes with side dish of marinated daikon & yellow dipping sauce. Unsure if it was enough for 2, so we ordered 1 dish of crispy meat dumplings. So very tasty & satisfying!

Mtl's best Korean fried chicken. Even if they have other locations.

This one is the best one, best enjoyed on site even if the neat dining area lacks personality.

We come here often.

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.

I think their fried chicken is the best in Montreal but It seems to be getting more & more expensive due to the rising cost of materials....I know it's not their fault.
