About

The fried chicken with creamy onion sauce is my personal favorite. I also like how the chicken stays crispy for a while even with the sauce.

The food here is absolutely fantastic-crispy, juicy, & packed with flavor. We orderered the bone-in chicken & the Teokbokki. On top of that, the staff is incredibly nice, welcoming, & attentive. Great food & excellent service are a winning combination. Highly recommend Dawa Fried Chicken!

For our first visit, we asked the staff for recommendations & they did not disappoint! The team was super friendly & happily guided us toward their signature chicken platter. We ordered the half-&-half: one side was glazed in a tangy, sweet-spicy sauce (though fair warning as Mexican, it's more flavorful than fiery), while the other side was simply fried with aromatic spices. Both halves were incredibly tender, crispy, & packed with flavor. The plain fried half also came with a tasty honey-mustard-style dipping sauce on the side.

We also ordered the lemon chili fries, which were a true explosion of flavors & absolutely delicious.

Unfortunately, the'Mom's Spicy Tteokbokki' didn't quite hit the mark for me personally. That said, if I come back, & I definitely plan to, I'll be ordering that chicken & those fries again without hesitation. They were absolutely phenomenal.

Probably the best restaurant in the city. Everything in the menu is absolutely delicious, the fried chicken melts, the sauces are to die for & the fries are out of this world. The staff is super kind & the atmosphere is clean & happy! I recommend dining in because the food tastes incredible fresh :)

Tried the Korean BBQ sweet & spicy fried chicken. It was super crispy, juicy inside, & coated perfectly with delicious crunch. Addictive flavour, not greasy at all. Definitely ordering again.

Dawa est une vraie petite découverte pour les amateurs de poulet coréen. Le poulet est toujours croustillant, juteux & parfaitement assaisonné, avec des sauces qui font toute la différence. Le service est rapide, sympathique, & l'ambiance décontractée donne envie d'y revenir.
Dawa is a real gem for Korean fried chicken lovers. The chicken is always crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, & the sauces truly stand out. Service is quick & friendly, & the relaxed atmosphere makes it a place you'll want to come back to.
