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.

Good chicken

First Timer.
Went there after a quick search on Google Maps.

No Dedicated Parking.
Place is nice, clean & cosy.
Staffs were welcoming & friendly.

As for food, we ordered a combo platter for 2-3 person & really wanted to taste the truffle flavoured one.

We were two & it was so much & couldn't even eat half of what we ordered & had to take out.

They were all really good but I expected them to be better though. The chicken seems same it's just the sauces that are different & can be too much I personally think.

But I was really disappointed with the truffle one unfortunately. I didn't get a hint of truffle & it cost more than the others I think.

Overall I would recommend 💯 It's a matter of personal preferences. Not the truffle though 👎

I am definitely coming back to try other things. I tried the shrimp tempura, seafood pancake & fried chicken with rice & salad which came with a honey mustard sauce that was really good 👍

I only popped in here to kill time before a dinner reservation nearby. Meaning, I wasn't planning to eat, just drink a little, but we got a golden fried chicken combo to split & ate ALL OF IT. This is a very legit Korean fried chicken!

It reminded me of local hole-in-the-wall'chimek' spots in Korea -'chimek' stands for chicken & beer ('mekju'). Plenty of soju & magkeolli options (get the peach if unfamiliar). Very good & very nostalgic.

Would recommend coming here & getting comfortably wasted with friends! Or, just come get their amazing Korean fried chicken

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!
