DaWa Chicken Restaurant (NDG) in Montreal

Best Korean Chicken in MTL. It tastes just like the chicken I had in Korea 20 years ago when I was a kid. Its a classic flavor. I used to be a regular at this restaurant. Now that I ve moved to another city, it s hard to visit again, but I ll miss this chicken place. This is one of the dishes that always brought me comfort whenever I missed home in Montreal. Thank you for everything until now. Tip. I usually got it to go, and if the chicken ever got soggy, reheating it in the oven for 5-10 minutes made it crispy again. . .

Very authentic Korean fried chicken.

The chicken is really delicious! ! A little expensive with Uber but its worth it because its well done! 3 orders from them and never been disappointed. I recommend!

Been going for 5 years. Best fried chicken in town! Amazing !!

Best fried chicken, by far. That boneless half-half is unbelievable

The taste is getting worse

When they heard that I will leave Montreal for a very long time. They write warmhearted words to me, and also give me a free box of fried chicken.

Great combos for sharing and the food is really good

The food, service, the employees, ever is perfect

Great tasting Korean chicken and always top notch service! This is how every restaurant should be!

Alba is delicious and the chicken is pretty

Got a spicy 20 peice yesterday and can t stop thinking about it since Korean food is my favourite and this definitely did not disappoint. Small restaurant, big flavour and 100% better than Mon Ami & Coquios. I ll be back soon

Excellent chicken. One of the best I tried.

Best chicken this far from restaurants I have had.. BUT they are expensive and I REALLy think its weird sometimes they dont have BONE IN chicken and ONLY bone out which my intitution says it could be something else since the texture is NOT like any chicken I have had before. Still taste good but something is off... bone OUT piece are WAY smaller as well.

Huge portions and supremely tasty! The service was really amazing as well.

Live the food 5 stars

Number 1

The food is amazing, the staff is nice. It was 61$ taxes and tip.

This is very good chicken and good service good place i will definitely order again

Good chicken. Cute ...uh...Sauce Art? Is that a Dragon Quest Slime? Either way, the food here is awesome.

The chicken was great and the service was even better. We went with a toddler and not only do they have high chairs available, they brought us a plastic cup, plate, spoon, and fork unprompted. Thank you for a great lunch!

DELICIOUS CHICKEN! Worth it! To go item creamy onion chicken (boneless) and classic fried chicken. Less of that heavy grease feeling

One of the best Korean Fried Chicken Ive ever tasted in Montreal.. Customer service was great! I highly recommend this restaurant to my friends!!. Try their Truffle Mayo Chicken too! Kid-friendliness: They have also given us a drawing board for our son to enjoy while waiting and utensils to use...

A week after coming to Montreal, I wanted to eat Korean chicken, so I came here because I saw good reviews about Dawa Chicken when searching for chicken restaurants in Montreal. The food was more delicious than expected, and most of all, the owner was very kind and provided great service ^^ It was delicious, on par with the delicious chicken I had in Korea. Kids also enjoy seasoned chicken and soy sauce chicken.

Best fried Chicken! Amazing sauce ! Really like the service and will be coming more and more !

Delicious and friendly

The food is very good and tasty and the service is impeccable, a must try for all fans of Korean chicken.

The best chicken!!!

The service , the food and those people working theee are simply amazing

Ordered Chicken with bones and chicken without bones(with garlic&Honey sauce) Id say the one without the sauce was soo much better and delicious!! We ordered online and the food came cold so i dont know if this makes a difference for the one with the sauce, ill have to try again...

The serving of the fried chicken is too small. For $21 is not worth it. Better order or eat elsewhere. Not ordering from this restaurant anymore!

Best service,nice staff and very fresh and tasty fried chicken. Highly recommended.

Super good! Its not fast food, so be prepared to wait 10 minutes, but its worth it! Super good on its own, and we were also given a sweet chilli sauce to try - really good!

Best chic ever! A big WOW!

Ordered a 12 piece on uber and get about 8 pieces and maybe about 6 of them are the smallest chicken pieces they could find. Used to like buying from here but clearly they started cheaping out. DO NOT BUY especially considering I spent 30$.

5 stars because food was perfect. From the chicken (sunsai sol) to the rice and even the salad dressing was perfect. Service was fast and friendly. I couldn t have been more satisfied.

Soso Im not going

Taste is so good ! Try half and half !

Excellent!! I took the plate of sunsal chicken and was graciously offered a small pot of spicy sauce. The chicken is very tender and the crispy breading is perfect. The salad was very fresh. I really enjoyed it. Plus excellent service!!!!

While walking down the street, my child said she wanted to eat chicken, so I went in and it was a Korean chicken restaurant. The fried chicken as well as the seasoned chicken were crispy and moist on the inside by the time I finished eating them. There wasnt a lot of oil on the outside of the chicken, so it wasnt greasy. All the staff were friendly. Ill come again next time.

Best Fried chicken in Montréal

Great fried chicken! Creamy shrimp udon was not bad either!

Great service Food is tasty Owner is so friendly My husband said that s the best Korean fried chicken he ever had.

Everytime I go the chicken is tender, tasty and super flavourful. Some of the best chicken Ive ever eaten. Definitely best fried chicken in Montreal

They gave me half of what I ordered from a delivery app because they ran out of an item I ordered. They charged me for the whole order and didnt think I would notice.

The owner came out to say hello and was proud that the chicken was very good. They said it would be tastier than the chicken sold in Korea, and it was true. The seasoning was just right and spicy + the fries were very crispy and delicious. And hes very kind.

The Sunsal Tao was awesome! Lovely folks and great good

Delicious chicken. Nice balcony Friendly staff Food : 5/5

Very good food,nice peoples, I love this restaurant

Best fried chicken! The spicy boneless thighs are my fave. Unreal good. getting hungry again just thinking about it.

No Rice as a side dish in uber

Excellent service from staff! Very professional from the chef to the servers & the chicken is amazing!! 5 stars !

The food is always fantastic and last night I had the pleasure of watching a gentleman who was perhaps the manger/owner/head chef give a family free chicken to brighten their table as they waited for their food in silence. His generous smile radiated kindness - the epitome of hospitality. I was given a free sample as well and it was delicious. Love you guys!

Favourite fried chicken in the city! Always delicious.

The chicken is addictive, very good options. Check out the spicy pork and noodles as a side dish.

My son said I should try Dawa Chicken on Sherbrooke so I did. Very nice people who work there, great service with a smile and a cup of tea, very nice touch. Their chicken was great, crisp, hot and tasted good. Give them a try and judge for yourself.

The food taste is outside this world something different, i do always eat here they are so friendly with everyone and the respect they show is insane i highly recommend.

A Gem, not so hidden, in NDG!!

What can I say? Fantastic. So happy to have this restaurant in my neighborhood.

For me its the best korean fried chicken spot. Used to go there all the time when i lived in ndg. Its hard to find something that good now that i moved. Get their full chicken half spicy/half original it balances out

The best chicken of my life!

One of the best chicken Ive ever tried,very nice people and service.Must visit!!!

Not going anywhere else for korean/ fries chicken after trying this place. They have a wide range and also have combo meals with fries, udons or rice which comes with the chicken of your choice (5 options available for the combo meals), and the serve it with a cup of soup. The dressing of the salad was very nice. And the portions were huge! It was under 50 dollars for 2 people with a soda for each. Cant wait to try rest of their menu:))

Very delicious.

- food: 11/10 - service: 15/10 - portions: 12/10 a MUST TRY, they are the sweetest people!!!

Love the fried chicken and fried dumplings there! Also enjoy watching the kpop videos while im waiting for my order to be ready! Great place!

Excellent food and amazing service!

If you like crispy yet juicy chicken, then this is the spot. Laid-back counter joint atmosphere with kind staff!

Special dawa #2 excelent with mild sauce, fries has unique flavour and salad love the dressing and veggies are fresh

Fresh delicious fried chicken! One of the best I have had. Also the service is amazing!

Very delicious, recommend Korean Tao Sauce.

I ordered the half/half! Very good! The staff is professional and friendly. The chicken is juicy and tasty. I recommend it! Food : 5/5

Best Korean Chicken!!!

Very good and fresh! This place should be on everyones bucket list to try! It is just done perfectly with pride only reason I have 4 star for atmosphere is because I do not like bright lights. But you are always treated with a friendly face and they serve you care

I would have loved to give them five stars but they are really expensive now ..chicken and a noodle dish come to $50 ....

CHICKEN WAS AWESOME

Fantastic service and food! The restaurant smells of pickled turnips which they serve on the side Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp at front door. Every table has removable chairs

Great customer service. The staff was too courteous and accommodating. The place was clean and pleasant to sit down to have food. The best part about the experience was the people working there. They were really nice and followed up to make sure that the food tasted great. Parking: Free roadside parking after 9, I believe.

Good Korean chicken . Quick service and friendly staff.

Pretty much everything from this place is amazing, every time Im there physically or for take out the staff is super friendly and warm. Really no other restaurant can compete with the food. If you want crazy good chicken (or Korean dishes like bulgogi) that tastes homemade Id recommend this place. Nobody else has nearly as good chicken in NDG as DaWa, skip the rest of the places and go here.

The food is incredible and so is the service. The cashier always takes her time to patiently explain the menu to me when I don t know what to order and I always love everything I get. 10/10!

Kinda pricy for what you get. Staff is okay.

My favourite place for KFC (korean fried chicken). The staff members are the kindest and the restaurant is always extremely clean. Its also a really great late-night spot. I highly recommend their Half & Half plate, especially if sharing with friends.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to go in the restaurant Food

Best Korean Fried Chicken in town

I ordered the bone in Korean Tao chicken, but received a couple pieces of cold boneless chicken that leaked everywhere when I opened the box. I had an entire sticky mess on my table before I could even eat. Will not be ordering here again .

Some of the best fast food service I ve ever had. They boxed our leftovers for us and gave us free tea and pickled radish. Super nice server. Fried the chicken on spot and came out hot and crispy. Delicious chicken that was spicy and sweet. Will definitely be back!

Sauce is exquisite. Chicken is juicy and tender. The only flaw is fries which is a bit soggy. Definitely will come again for the chicken.

Always fresh and delicious with amazing service. Highly recommend!

I loved their wings. The lady at the counter greeted us and is very sweet. She recommended us what to order. Very friendly staff. I will come again. Thank you.

This is the best Korean fried chicken place in Montreal!!! I visited today with my friend and Im blown away by their chicken and kindness of the staffs. Im definitely coming back soon!

Service is good. We had bone-in fried chicken that was just ok... Needed salt/seasoning in the batter and more batter in general. The cheese dust covered fries were not our cup of tea. The complementary cup of tea was good though!

WOW!! Had the Korea Tao Sunsal plate after stumbling across this place with a friend. The food was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavour. Highly recommend!

Delicious and juicy fried chicken and bulgogi udon noodles! Impeccable service and welcoming staffs. Highly recommend for a try!

One of the best korean Fried chicken in town! Their portion is decent, it is totally worth ordering from them. Tasty, flavory, juicy tender chicken. I always order half fried, half saucy. All you need is beer!! Reminds me of the fried chicken in Korea. Reminiscing the good old times

The best chicken 10/10

Staff is top tier. Service is fast. They change their oil every single morning at 8am. Crispy, juicy, and magnificent chicken. You NEED to try.

Wow! The chicken is crispy and delicious!!! The staff is friendly and kind. I recommend 100%!!

Great food and very polite staff. We ordered Veg. Dumplings, Creamy Onion Sunsal and Korean-Tao Sunsal. Dumplings were nice and crunchy, Onion Sunsal was creamy and Tao Sunsal was spicy and tasty (we asked them to make it spicy and they did :D ). Would love to visit again. Vegetarian options: Veg Dumplings

Am I the only one who is so kind that I sometimes feel sorry?!

best in montreal

Its the greatest Korean fried chicken in MTL!!

Its just really great chicken. Every time. And the sauces are super tasty. The chicken is always moist. The location is clean. Its a wonderful little place. Dont expect KFC style chicken. Korean fried chicken at its best has this thin little crunch To it so its lightly crispy, but soooo good! And even if you have left overs, they are still yummy the next day.

Really disappointed

Best chicken i ve ate in a whileeeww!! The seasoning comes perfectly according your demands.

So glad we discovered this gem !!! I ordered from here for the first time and it was spectacular!!! I ordered for delivery on Uber eats and I live 15 mins away and waited a bit to eat and wow!!! I cannot wait to eat at the restaurant from the salad dressing to the variety of chicken was delicious for 2 people we spent over $100 and it was worth every dollar!

Delicious really flavorful coréen fried chicken. Service was quick and the employees are very nice. I would 100% recommend

Fair price for fresh chicken. Their spice is yummy and the service was great! She took her time to explain us the menu and offer us the best out of menu.

Great chicken and amazing service!!!

The chicken was very good I got two orders of the boneless half and half chicken. Very meaty and juicy. I highly recommend it. But I was disappointed by the yaki udon, it was not a big portion for $16, about half the size of what you would get at other places that have fried noodles. Taste was was good and worth trying but I will not be getting it again due to the size of it. I clicked on 10-20$ it was for a group of 7 people. I would get some rice and fries or it will not be very filling (which was my goal with the udon).

Best korean chicken ever

The service was great and fast, really nice staff The chicken was fresh, flavourful and juicy !

What I like most about this restaurant is that all the staff, without exception, are very, very respectful and friendly

Simply the best fried chicken in Montreal! We had and highly recommend combo #3! Everything complemented each other perfectly. The staff is super friendly and they really ensure you have a fantastic dining experience. 10/10!

I have to preface this review by mentioning it has been almost a year since I have ordered from here - but only because I have left Montreal! Throughout 2021-2022 I must have ordered from Dawa at least a dozen times. I cant say enough about their bulgogi with udon noodles - I could always count on it being amazing. The salad that comes with it is also delicious. Its hard to find a restaurant that is so reliable and consistent with their quality. When I visit Montreal, I will be sure to stop by!

Super delicious food, they deliver quickly and very delicious, recommended

Food

Highly recommend

Recent changes have disappointed me and I plan to switch to another Korean chicken place They reduced the serving sizes, my preference is boneless and they have reduced the amount and size Not sure what is going on but paying for fried chicken and fires nearly 30 bucks for one meal from fast food style resto is very expensive. The fried chicken without bones have been getting smaller and can be downgraded to popcorn chicken desciption

I NEVER give 5 stars! But you deserve it! Wow just one AMAZING word! You turned my normal day into a UNIQUE one! Your chicken is extraordinary as a difficult person! I promise you this chicken is worth the detour! Its price is so affordable that we would buy twice! Madam Sir, you are thinking! Dont think anymore! Go for it and your stomach and your mind will thank them! Thank you very much for this experience! That was amazing A big thanks from my wife and my daughter

Food: 10/10 - Packaging: 10/10. Details: half-half (half flavoured and half unflavoured) is one my favourites. I usually go with the whole chicken and with mild spice level. Honey garlic (under their specialty menu) is my second favourite. One of the best fried chicken places in Montreal!

Best Korean fried chicken!!

Wonderful meal, a medium was enough for two to split. I recommend a side of rice. Great experience

I was dying for some spring rolls and stopped there again. Lovely, friendly people, fast service with a smile . Air condition a little strong and cold. Will go back again and again!!

Excellent dinner. Friendly service and they were quick and attentive. The split order wings (plain and an Asian tao sauce) were crispy and flavorful and a tremendous family hit. Location is great and the restaurant is essentially a take away spot glammed up a bit. You wont be blown away by the design but the chicken is really quite good

The best Korean fried chicken in MTL. Excellent portions and prices for the food. Service is always great and servers are super friendly. Its a little far from Vendome metro, but its worth the trip.

Delicious

Amazing food and service!! Ill be back for sure.

Best fried chicken in mtl

Wasnt expecting much since its just fried chicken, but damn, it was really good.

Employee VERY RUDE at the cashier. Never come back. Food

Good service, food is great. Very clean environment

It was our first time and defiantly not the last one. The place is clean the service is amazing. And all the staff is so sweet. Food : 5/5

Very good food

Amazing korean fried chickens.. it so delicious and tasty.. Parking: Easy to park Food : 5/5 |

Best fried chicken in the city easily

This is the second time weve come here and frankly, my boy and I love it. The chicken is simply divine and so is the plate of noodles and beef. In short, as soon as we arrive we are greeted by a beautiful Korean smile thank you Yurim for this great experience! We will definitely come back

Great wings, friendly service.

We usually order here from ubereats since we live a bit far. But today we have decided to eat at the restaurant.We were greeted warmly with the Lady with glasses. We have encountered a slight problem with the sweet and spicy chicken which turned out a bit spicier than usual. When we told the lady she gave us a sauce to ease the spice and told us that if it was still spicy she would change our order , but we didnt want that since we already ate half of the chicken. The truffle sauce and cream onion sauce she gave was so good and it did help with the spiciness of the chicken. To end my review, Id say that the quality of food and service is excellent the staff are very helpful and super kind, and for that reason even if I wont be coming in the restaurant to order since I live far, Ill still surely continue to support this small business Thank you Dawa Team. -Hanna

Friendly staff and food was amazing! Would order again next time I visit Montreal.

One of the best Korean fried chicken I ve had in Montreal (coming from a fellow Korean). The portions were huge and paired great with the Korean radish. The owners are very kind and came to say bye as we left.

Get the chicken with yogurt and onions here. Ask for extra yogurt it is worth it

Delicious!!! I loved everything and the people were very nice.

I still order their half and half fried chicken often on Ubereats and they always offer very good quality. I like their Snowing Chicken too, a must-try when you re in the neighborhood!

I m so obsessed with their Korean Tao wings, & honey mustard. It s literally soooo good. I m craving some right now but, unfortunately they re closed today.

The chicken ordered was good. The service too.

My favorite chicken. Period. If you want fried chicken, go here. No exceptions.

Best fried chicken in town!

Best chicken!!

The food here is simply amazing. Highly recommend. Likely one of the best, if not the best in all of Montreal. The service is wonderful and the people running it are extremely polite, and conscientious. Overall an amazing place!

The owners are so nice

The food was very good. The chicken is very high quality. The plain chicken is actually my favorite and tasted very clean because the oil they use to fry is very clean. The service was also great. They even gave me and my mom each a free sample of another chicken flavor. The prices are very reasonable.

Excellent chicken, made my favorite list.

The best fried chicken in quebec.

Delicious food, good prices, exceptional customer service, all the staff are very kind people, clean restaurant and a pleasant atmosphere for all tastes, 100% recommended

Best fried chicken in town. Literally

So delicious, that one of the sweet staff came out worried when we were too full to finish the chicken lol

I really enjoyed it so much! The owner and all the employees were so kind that I had a pleasant day :) They even took good care of my baby, so I didnt know what to do! It was so great that I was upset that I found out about it late!! I think its the best chicken restaurant in Montreal~ Thank you for the delicious chicken. May you prosper a lot!!

I like this Chicken a lot. It is the best Korean fired chicken in Montreal! I fell like I am in Korea. I literally order this every week. I am addicted to eating Korean fired chicken. I hope they sell Korean beer too!!!

I had the seasoned chicken and the fried half-and-half chicken and it was so delicious!! Haha the owner is so kind too!

Good

It is a restaurant with the best service and delicious chicken.

The fried chicken and onion rings were beyond underwhelming. No flavour what so ever. What a disappointment after reading all the reviews hyping up this place.

Dawa is my favourite fried chicken spot in NDG. They also have really nice staff and service. Their chicken is freshly made to order and uses fresh oil. The pieces are tender and juicy. My favourite items are the wings, you cant go wrong with them. The spicy pork and udon are also nice.

Very good chicken, good service. I suggest adjusting the prices shown here because they do not represent reality...

Outstanding service, excellent chicken! Very friendly staff

My only feedback would be to offer smaller combos of chicken and fries for people that are eating individually. The cheapest menu on the item is $18.99 for a half chicken (at the time of this review). Would have been nice to have the option to get a 2-piece or 3-piece meal with a side.

Fried chicken super tender and juicy, the lady very patient explained to me about the sauces, and gave me 3 types for me to try to see which one I like, very thoughtful and sweet! Definitely will come back and eat!!

great

AMAZING 10/10!!!! Love the sauce!!!

This place is so good!!! MUST GO!!:D

My boyfriend & I went to Dawa for the first time this summer (2023) & we ve gone back so many times ever since - it s THAT good! I m not someone who even eats meat that often, but wow, 10/10 Korean fried chicken. I rarely leave reviews, but I wanted to share my thoughts & because I think they re highly deserving of positive feedback. It s the food & their staff that keeps us coming back, truly. There s not many places that have such sweet, kind, and welcoming staff - every time we get a different cashier, they re just as polite as the next. It doesn t go unnoticed! Everyone working there is awesome Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp at the front :) Appreciate the inclusivity

They make the best korean fried chicken in montreal wether you take the regular or sunsal tao and they treat their customer so well, they really make sure you re having a great experience! It quickly became my favorite spot and i definitely recommend. Thank you so much! Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp to enter the restaurent or the terrasse!

Crispy, juicy Korean fried chicken freshly cooked thats given with picked radish and a honey mustard dip. The food was simple and yet so well executed. You could see the care and attention to quality in each dish they served be in the in restaurant or for delivery. I had the original bone-in original fried chicken along with the Korean style and the creamy onion boneless fried chicken. They were all so delicious but my favorite has to be the creamy onion one. Theres an amazing quality price ratio. It is worth the detour and try very good korean fried chicken! We will be back!

I can say here can beats any Korean chicken restaurant juicy, crispy, and the Tao sauce was perfect Went with my big family, they set up a great space for us and even offered us to snow French fries. Appreciate the delicious food and excellent service.

Super good korean friends chicken

Delicious and fresh chicken with great sauce. Super nice staff. Clean restaurant. Good fresh fries. Price is good. Cant ask for much more...

Absolutely best fried chicken in Montreal! Ive been there multiple times and they always slap. Juicy, tender chicken with crispy exterior every single time. I always recommend it to everyone i know!

This chicken restaurant is the best if you want to eat chicken in Montreal!!!! I ordered half and half boneless meat with my teachers and it was so delicious!!! Dawa Chicken Jjang

I adore! Best restaurant in Montreal. Excellent and fast service, the chicken is crispy, a must.

Always juicy and crispy even delivery authentic fried chicken in town

Amazing spot for Korean chicken, no wonder a lot of people say that this is the best in MTL. Chicken was crispy and had a lot of flavour, serving/portion was pretty big too for $33ish dollars just perfect for 3-4 people.
