Review Summary

DaWa Chicken is widely praised for crispy, juicy fried chicken and sauces that stand out, with many calling it the best Korean fried chicken in Montreal. Reviewers note that the chicken stays flavorful and tender, especially when served with signature sauces and complementary items like pickled radish, onions, or tteokbokki, and they appreciate generous portions and customization for bone-in or boneless orders. The service is repeatedly described as fast, friendly, and accommodating, and the atmosphere as warm, casual, and clean. While the quality is consistently high, a few reviews mention occasional dryness or variability in texture, and some say pricing is on the higher side though regarded as worth it for the portion size and flavor. Overall, DaWa Chicken comes across as a reliable go-to for flavorful, well-executed Korean fried chicken with strong takeout and dine-in experiences, with customers returning for repeat orders and recommending it for both first-timers and regulars.

First time trying this restaurant & we were pleasantly surprised! Their chicken is crispy & delicious. We also ordered Tteokbokki (new menu), it was spicy but still very yummy!!
& the service was amazing.

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!

It worth all pennies you spend here. Its really Kentucky but Korean style & much more quality. If you're in the mood for some straightforward, no-frills fried chicken, this is the place to be. 🍗 They don't serve alcohol here, focusing solely on delivering perfectly crispy fried chicken, made fresh right after you order. Whether you prefer your chicken non-spicy or just a tad spicy, make sure to communicate your spice preferences to the friendly service staff. 🌶? For those visiting for the first time, don't hesitate to ask for recommendations-they're more than happy to guide you through their menu.

The ambiance here is remarkably clean & welcoming, with spotless interiors & washrooms to match. 🧼 It's worth noting that the menu at this location differs from the one at the Mount Royal outlet, as this spot specializes exclusively in fried chicken. Lastly, remember to allow some time for your order to be prepared, as each dish is fried fresh upon request. This ensures your chicken is as hot & crispy as it gets! ?

No frills fried chicken only. No alcohol as well. This store specialise in fried chicken & it's freshly fried after you ordered. For non-spicy or less spicy version, do let the service staff know your spice tolerance when ordering. For first timers to this restaurant, ask the service staff for recommendations. The interior is clean & washrooms are clean too. Do note that the menu is different from the mount royal outlet & this outlet serves fried chicken only. Oh & do factor in some preparation time as it's fried fresh after order.

For me its the best korean fried chicken spot. Used to go there all the time when i lived in ndg. Its hard to find something that good now that i moved. Get their full chicken half spicy/half original it balances out

Dawa is my favourite fried chicken spot in NDG. They also have really nice staff & service. Their chicken is freshly made to order & uses fresh oil. The pieces are tender & juicy. My favourite items are the wings, you can't go wrong with them. The spicy pork & udon are also nice.
