About

DaWa Chicken specializes in the authentic preparation of Korean fried chicken characterized by its signature thin, crispy batter and succulent interior. Each piece undergoes a precise double-frying process to ensure maximum crunch while maintaining the integrity of the seasoned protein. The menu focuses on a variety of bold glazes ranging from classic soy garlic to fiery spicy sauces that coat every inch of the poultry. Beyond the signature chicken, the kitchen manages a selection of Korean grill items that provide a smoky, savory depth to the overall flavor profile. These dishes emphasize traditional preparation techniques that prioritize texture and balanced seasoning above all else. This establishment delivers a focused, consistent experience for those seeking high-quality poultry prepared with specialized culinary methods.

One of the best places I've eaten in Montreal. We had the half & half boneless fries chicken, beef bulgogi & udon noodles were some of the best I've ever had. Cheese fries were delicious, fresh & crispy. Inside was not busy at all & the drinks were amazing.

The best restaurant I've been in Montreal so far! From the service to the food everything has been top notch, their chicken, from chicken only to the meal plans were all satisfying, their fries were crispy & soft inside. The cocktail given to us was sweet to the right point, although it was a bit too light but it was perfect for our night dine-in. An absolute must-try for whoever wants some chicken & not the usual fast food experience!

We celebrated our birthday there, & the waiter even brought us a small cake & cheese fries, which were delicious. Just like the reviews said, the fried chicken was excellent. The only problem was that parking was a bit difficult.
