DaWa Chicken earns high marks for crispy, juicy fried chicken and flavorful sauces, with a wide menu that also features Korean favorites like tteokbokki, bibimbap, and creamy noodles, all presented in generous portions and a modern clean setting. The chicken is consistently praised for its quality and taste, often described as authentic and reminiscent of Korean fare, and the sauces and cheese toppings are frequent standouts. Service is repeatedly highlighted as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with staff able to switch between French and English, contributing to a welcoming vibe. The experience is enhanced by a bright, cozy atmosphere and reliable consistency, making it a popular go-to for dine-in or takeout, and many reviewers say they would return and recommend it. Some drawbacks include the lack of bone-in chicken options at certain locations and occasional timing issues or conflicting kitchen closings that can slow the service, as well as the mixed reception of some dishes like seafood pancake, though the chicken and tteokbokki remain top picks. Overall, DaWa Chicken comes across as a strong favorite and a solid value for flavorful Korean fried chicken.

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.

Fantastic Korean chicken !!! 5 star quality food & service with a very unassuming street view.

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.
