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.

The fried chicken is perfectly crispy even with the sauce, & the cheese corn is fantastic!

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.

The chicken was crispy but not as warm as I expected, didn't feel freshly fried. The beer, though, was great & really hit the spot!
