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.

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.

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.

The exterior gives you the impression it's abandoned but if you decide to walk inside, you'll be surprised with the quality of the meals. The Bulgogi Bibim-Bap was certainly my favourite. It made me think of a poke bowl without mayonnaise & more appropriate for dinner. The Haemul Pajeon was delicious.

I've known about Dawa since 2022. Absolutely amazing korean fried chicken! You won't find this quality anywhere else. I moved to Ontario & I would still think about travelling back just to eat there. :)

I recommend their half/half & their fries are so so good. PLEASE NEVER CLOSE

first time in this restaurant, the food is delicious. The quality is very good. The tabouki is well cooked. The noodle soup with seafood is wonderful & creamy. The chicken with onion cream is distinctive & refreshing. A unique experience, we will come back in the future.
