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.

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.

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.

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!
