DaWa Chicken is widely praised for its Korean fried chicken, with crispy outside and juicy inside and a range of standout sauces that elevate each bite; reviewers commend the friendly, quick service and the casual, welcoming vibe, and note generous portions and good value, while a few mention occasional dryness and some menu variations between locations.
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.
The food is tasty & the staff are very friendly. While we were waiting for takeout they even offered tea in the meantime. Ambiance is chill would recommend.
It's an unassuming location but we were quite pleased with the food overall. The chicken was really the star of the show, we got combo 3 with creamy onion, sweet red & soy garlic wings. The fries & spring rolls were alright. The creamy onion was our favourite, but they were all delicious. We would definitely come back for more.
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.

The absolute best fried chicken I have ever had. So.much.flavor.
The service was great & everything tasted incredible. We don't live in the area but I'm already trying to plan our next visit.
So so good!
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.
I ordered the fried chicken & fries, & they were so delicious with really generous portions. Everything was super crispy & perfectly crunchy. The restaurant was extremely clean, the staff were incredibly friendly, & the food came out really fast. I highly recommend this place!
