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.

Poulet coréen vraiment savoureux, bien croustillant à l'extérieur & tendre à l'intérieur. La sauce est bien dosée, avec un bon équilibre entre sucré, salé & un léger piquant selon les morceaux. Portions généreuses & service rapide. Une très bonne option pour manger du poulet coréen de qualité.

Ambiance typique de resto fast food. Le poulet frit est superbe & les sauces pour tremper sont très bonnes aussi! Puis, il y a une bonne variété d'accompagnements

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 :)

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.

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!

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!

First time here. Ordered on Uber. Great food but took some time (50min to be ready & wrapped up). Sauces are good too. I would recommend!
