" I recently ordered delivery from DAWA and was pleasantly surprised. The bulgogi was well-marinated and packed with flavor. The rice was perfect, and the banchan that came along really elevated the meal. However, the delivery service took longer than expected. Next time I'll dine in to enjoy the experience fully. " (*Curated Review*)

" DAWA is such a hidden gem! I ordered the bibimbap, and it was beautiful and tasty. The portion was generous, and I appreciated the variety of ingredients used. We also had the garlic fried chicken, which was flavorful - perfect for sharing. Although the wait staff were busy, they always had a smile and were polite. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited DAWA as I was in the area and had a craving for Korean food. The place was busy but the vibe was good. I tried the bibim naengmyeon and it was refreshing for a hot day. However, the spicy beef soup was a bit underwhelming compared to other places. Service was quick, but not overly attentive. I might return, but I'll try different dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thrilled to find an authentic Korean spot in town. I tried the jajangmyeon and it was delicious! The sauce was rich and flavorful, a class above the other Asian restaurants I’ve been to. The servers were incredibly attentive and ensured our drinks were always filled. Ambiance is great for a family dinner or a date! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had a lovely evening at DAWA. We ordered various dishes to share and everyone loved their meals. The spicy tofu soup was a hit, full of flavor and not too spicy. The service was very friendly and attentive. This has become our go-to place for Korean food. I would definitely recommend it! " (*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*)
