What guests say about DaWa chicken (Plateau-Mont-Royal)

DaWa Chicken has a very good reputation for its Korean fried chicken, often described as crispy, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The service is often warm and attentive, and many customers also enjoy the sides and the atmosphere. On the other hand, a few reviews mention long waits and changing kitchen hours, so it may be worth going with a little extra time.

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

We visited this place on Saturday and unfortunately the service was very disappointing. Even after waiting over an hour after placing our order, our food still hadn’t come out and no one checked on our table during the wait. It honestly felt like the staff were prioritizing Uber Eats orders over dine-in customers. While we were waiting, several delivery orders seemed to be going out constantly, yet dine-in tables were being ignored. The staff also appeared more focused on chatting among themselves rather than checking on customers and even paying the bill took a long time. Overall, the food may have been ok but the service experience completely ruined the visit.

The best restaurant I've been in Montreal so far! From the service to the food everything has been top notch, their chicken, from chicken only to the meal plans were all satisfying, their fries were crispy and soft inside. The cocktail given to us was sweet to the right point, although it was a bit too light but it was perfect for our night dine-in. An absolute must-try for whoever wants some chicken and not the usual fast food experience!

We celebrated our birthday there, and the waiter even brought us a small cake and cheese fries, which were delicious. Just like the reviews said, the fried chicken was excellent. The only problem was that parking was a bit difficult.

Not the best, just the most acceptable fried chicken in Montreal.

Dear Sagar, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. However, we would like to clarify the situation. Your order was prepared within 30 minutes, and we promptly notified DoorDash that it was ready for pickup. Unfortunately, a delivery driver was not assigned to your order. In such cases, this is beyond our control as a restaurant. We truly regret this situation and understand how frustrating it must have been. On behalf of DoorDash, we sincerely apologize once again.

I can't believe it took me that long to find that gem!! . Portions are incredibly generous, both my friend and I took home a full lunchbox . The chicken is probably the best I got in a long (looong) time. Tasty, great sauces, and so light. We took the bestie combo 2, and all flavors were to die for. . We also took one individual plate to share, and honestly, we were really full. And that's considering the fact we entered the restaurant claming to be starving. . The woman that attended to us was extremely thoughtful, and it made the whole experience all the more enjoyable. . Sensorial bonus: the lightning, and also the similiar leather covers for the table, it was the best to touch.

Food was really great! Chicken wings were very fresh and the tteokbokki were soft and easy to chew on. We had the creamy onion boneless (!) wings and rose tteokbokki. It was a good balance of savoury and spicy. Shoutout to the lady who served us for recommending these! Would definitely come back to try other options for wings! Their soju cocktails were really good and the price is reasonable, too.

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 and one specific dish. The Good • Fried Chicken Combo: This was the star of the show! The chicken was perfectly crispy and flavorful. We really enjoyed the variety of sauces and the crunch. • Korean Rice Cakes (Tteokbokki): These came with fish cakes and a generous layer of melted cheese on top. The texture was great and 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 and gooey. It wouldn't hold its shape and 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 and the rice cakes, but maybe skip the pancakes and be prepared to wait a while for your food.
