All the fried chickens were great! Each person was stuffed by the 8th piece
Cheesling Fries 9/10
Yuzu Salad 7/10
Golden fried chicken 7/10 - really solid basics
Sweet Red chicken spicy 8/10 - also really good, especially with the yellow sauce. It does get a bit sweet after while
Black Pink 9/10 - 100/10 on the first bite, gets a bit sweet after a while, would recommend having another flavor to interchange
Volcano 7/10 - really good but a bit spicy for me. Comes with a cool fire show
Note to self: Should try the truffle flavor next time
I can't believe it took me that long to find that gem!!
. Portions are incredibly generous, both my friend & I took home a full lunchbox
. The chicken is probably the best I got in a long (looong) time. Tasty, great sauces, & so light. We took the bestie combo 2, & all flavors were to die for.
. We also took one individual plate to share, & honestly, we were really full. & that's considering the fact we entered the restaurant claming to be starving.
. The woman that attended to us was extremely thoughtful, & it made the whole experience all the more enjoyable.
. Sensorial bonus: the lightning, & also the similiar leather covers for the table, it was the best to touch.
Very good experience. The food was delicious, fresh, & full of flavor. The service was honestly out of this world - 10/10. The staff were super kind, welcoming, & attentive. Highly recommend this place, I'll definitely be coming back!❤?
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.
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.
