Amazing Korean food!! The chef (Sean) & server (Jule) are such kind, friendly people. The service, the food, everything was 10/10. I got half & half chicken, rice & kimchi. SO GOOD! I will be coming back!!

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.

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.

Good choice of Fried Chicken flavours, but lacking in other traditional Korean options. I was also craving some Samgyupsal.

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!!

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
