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.

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!
