" I recently celebrated a birthday at DAWA, and it was such a nice experience! We ordered a variety of dishes – from the BBQ short ribs to the spicy soup. Everything was delicious! The staff went above and beyond for us, even bringing a complimentary dessert at the end. The only issue was that it got a bit loud when the restaurant filled up, but it didn't ruin our enjoyment. This is truly a gem in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm happy to recommend DAWA! Their food is flavorful, with a good selection of Korean dishes. I was particularly impressed with their BBQ beef ribs which were tender and tasty. The energy of the restaurant was positive and the staff were great. I left with a smile and a full belly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited DAWA for the first time last weekend and was blown away! The seafood pancake was crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor on the inside. The staff were incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner. Definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at DAWA was quite mixed. The staff were lovely, but the food didn't meet the expectations set by other reviews. My tteokbokki lacked spice and the banchan felt uninspired. While the atmosphere was nice, I was left feeling unsatisfied with my meal overall. I may give it another chance for a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" A mixed bag experience. I liked the food, but wasn’t blown away. The pork belly was decent, but I've had better elsewhere. The staff was friendly but forgetful. Overall, the atmosphere is nice, and I liked the decor. I might give DAWA another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" An okay experience overall. I had high expectations after reading reviews, but my meal was mediocre at best. The sushi was fresh, but the kimchi tasted store-bought. The service was alright, but I felt like we were forgotten towards the end of our meal. I might give it another shot, just not sure when. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic experience! The food was absolutely delicious and authentic. I ordered the Korean fried chicken and it was crispy with a great sauce. The sides brought out were also refreshing and made the meal even better. The staff was lovely and they really took care of us. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
