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.
Service is good. We had bone-in fried chicken that was just ok... Needed salt/seasoning in the batter & more batter in general. The cheese dust covered fries were not our cup of tea. The complementary cup of tea was good though!
This is the best Korean fried chicken place in Montreal!!! I visited today with my friend & I'm blown away by their chicken & kindness of the staffs. I'm definitely coming back soon!🙌🏼

I loved their wings. The lady at the counter greeted us & is very sweet. She recommended us what to order. Very friendly staff. I will come again. Thank you.
Amazing spot for Korean chicken, no wonder a lot of people say that this is the best in MTL. Chicken was crispy & had a lot of flavour, serving/portion was pretty big too for $33ish dollars just perfect for 3-4 people.
Absolutely best fried chicken in Montreal! I've been there multiple times & they always slap. Juicy, tender chicken with crispy exterior every single time. I always recommend it to everyone i know!

I can say here can beats any Korean chicken restaurant - juicy, crispy, & the Tao sauce was perfect🤌 Went with my big family, they set up a great space for us & even offered us to snow French fries. Appreciate the delicious food & excellent service.
Crispy, juicy Korean fried chicken freshly cooked that's given with picked radish & a honey mustard dip. The food was simple & yet so we'll executed. You could see the care & attention to quality in each dish they served be in the in restaurant or for delivery. I had the original bone-in original fried chicken along with the Korean style & the creamy onion boneless fried chicken. They were all so delicious but my favorite has to be the creamy onion one. There's an amazing quality price ratio. It is worth the detour & try very good korean fried chicken! We will be back!

They make the best korean fried chicken in montreal wether you take the regular or sunsal tao & they treat their customer so well, they really make sure you're having a great experience! It quickly became my favorite spot & i definitely recommend. Thank you so much!
My boyfriend & I went to Dawa for the first time this summer (2023) & we've gone back so many times ever since - it's THAT good! 🖤 I'm not someone who even eats meat that often, but wow, 10/10 Korean fried chicken. I rarely leave reviews, but I wanted to share my thoughts & because I think they're highly deserving of positive feedback. It's the food & their staff that keeps us coming back, truly. There's not many places that have such sweet, kind, & welcoming staff - every time we get a different cashier, they're just as polite as the next. It doesn't go unnoticed! Everyone working there is awesome ☺️
My only feedback would be to offer smaller combos of chicken & fries for people that are eating individually. The cheapest menu on the item is $18.99 for a half chicken (at the time of this review). Would have been nice to have the option to get a 2-piece or 3-piece meal with a side.
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.
