Review Summary

DaWa Chicken gets strong praise for its crispy fried chicken and a standout tteokbokki, with reviewers noting authentic Korean flavors, juicy texture, and a good variety of sauces that complement the dishes. The chicken is repeatedly described as a highlight, while other items like the seafood pancake or a truffle flavored platter receive mixed reactions, and a few posts mention that some dishes can feel rushed or fall short when the kitchen timing is off. Service is commonly described as friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the venue is appreciated for cleanliness and a pleasant vibe, though wait times can be long at times due to kitchen pace. Value is generally considered good, with generous portions and reasonable prices for the quality, and many diners say they would return to try more of the menu. Taken together, the reviews present DaWa Chicken as a reliable destination for Korean fried chicken and related dishes, with a few inconsistencies to watch but a strong overall impression.

Dawa Chicken is excellent - I absolutely love it. The chicken is consistently high quality & always very tasty. It's one of those places you can rely on, & the flavor never disappoints.

The only downside for me is that they don't offer bone-in chicken. I always have to order boneless, which is a bit disappointing, as I really wish they had the option for bone-in or even a whole chicken. They could also at least offer to buy a whole chicken instead of half the half ! At the NDG location, they offer this differently, which I personally prefer.

That said, this location is much closer to me, so it would be far more convenient if they added those options. Hopefully, they'll consider improving this in the future, because overall, I truly enjoy their chicken & order from them often.

I recently visited DaWa Chicken in Plateau-Mont-Royal. While there were some definite highlights to the meal, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag due to service speed & one specific dish.

The Good
• Fried Chicken Combo: This was the star of the show! The chicken was perfectly crispy & flavorful. We really enjoyed the variety of sauces & the crunch.
• Korean Rice Cakes (Tteokbokki): These came with fish cakes & a generous layer of melted cheese on top. The texture was great & the flavors were spot on. Highly recommend these two!

The Bad
• Seafood Pancake: This was a major disappointment. It felt like it was rushed on high heat-the outside was overcooked/burnt while the inside remained raw & gooey. It wouldn't hold its shape & just fell apart when touched. Definitely wouldn't recommend ordering this.

The Service
• Wait Time: We waited about 40 minutes for our three courses to arrive. For a casual dinner, that felt significantly too slow, especially considering the kitchen timing issues with the pancake.

Final Verdict: Go for the chicken & the rice cakes, but maybe skip the pancakes & be prepared to wait a while for your food.

Excellent.
Nous avons tester ce restaurant pour le poulet frit. & nous n'avais pas du tout été déçues. Il était excellent.
Le service était parfait, très gentilles. On nous a même offert un plat de potatoes, absolument délicieuses.
Pas la plus grande fan de tteokbokki (d'habitude j'aime bien mais pas les meilleurs).
Je recommande totalement

A wonderful modern-style Korean restaurant, but they have the major traditional dishes as well. I have to highlight the exceptional quality of the food here, & the consistency of the experience. I've now ordered from or been to Dawa on Mont Royal over a dozen times in the past couple of years & have always been very impressed with everything.

The recipes seem authentic to me, especially the spiciness level of the tteokbokki (if you ask for spicy, they have milder options). It does remind me of the food I had in Korea.

The fried chicken, their signature offering, is really nice & is very different to what you may consider as Western/fast food style fried chicken.

Good choice of Fried Chicken flavours, but lacking in other traditional Korean options. I was also craving some Samgyupsal.
