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.

Went on canada day for lunch!
I was craving onion sauce fried chicken that I had eaten in korea a year ago & these were perfect! We also had some rose tteokbokki. Both portions were generous & tasted amazing.
The server was really nice & sweet, great music, & everything was really clean.
100% recommend

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

Best Korean style fried chicken I've had so far!! I'm definitely coming back fr.
The beer was so ice cold, & paired perfectly with chicken. The cream noodle was next level. Highly recommend! Everything we ordered was the best choice ever!!! I also loved the vibe here, cute deco & Kpop moody feels.

Our server was super friendly & welcoming us. She took great care of us from start to finish!!

We came here on a whim & it was a great decision!! The service was exceptional. We had the bestie combo (chicken), rose tteokboki & shrimp cream udon. Highly recommend the rose tteokboki as the sauce goes really well with the chicken. but everything else was also great. Would definitely recommend!

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
