Asad's Hot Chicken

Visiting Philly, decided to stop in for a snack so we got the loaded fries (mild). Fries were ready in just a few minutes, came out hot and crispy, covered in tasty sauce with lots of crispy chicken. Delicious!

Just got into town , I wanted a cheesesteak but ended up at Asad’s. Food was good, wait was alittle bit long but it was worth the wait. However, they should have more combo options.

So I stopped by here over the weekend with my little big bro to see what it was hitting for and was surprised to see that this asads had milk shakes so I had to give it a go and well... let's just say they definitely put love into he got the cookies and cream I got the Nutella one and they was both amazing my hot honey slider was perfect as well and asads loaded fries are just great all around I can't wait to come back for another shake it really left a memory

This location seems primarily like a take out destination. Not a lot of space to sit and eat, if one wants to. The food is not too good- everything was cold. Clearly the tenders & fries were made beforehand and sliders & wrap were just assembled to order. Fries were also very limp & soggy. Tasted okay. I expected “hot” to be hot but this was barely above a mild spice level. The coleslaw was extremely unappetizing to look at and the texture reconfirmed that it was not anywhere near fresh. Overall, there is nothing that made me feel “Wow” about this place. It’s only acceptable if there are no other fried chicken places nearby and, for this location, there are many.

If you have never eaten here before you need to at least eat here once! The chicken here is amazing! The next time I come out to Philadelphia, I will be stopping here again. I had the loaded fries meal. It is large combination of french fries, cheese, chopped fried chicken and some kind of spicy boom boom sauce. It comes with two round pickle slices. You can get 2 to 4 meals out of it, depending on how you eat. You can get one and share it with someone and probably still have leftover. The chicken is tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The fries are very good. The cheese sauce is good and the sauce that they put on the top is my favorite part. I have a very sensitive palate and digestive system. I usually don’t get anything with spice at all so I was very hesitant to try this, but I’m very glad I did. I got the no heat option and there’s still was a little bit of a mild spice. I also went back with my son and got a chicken sandwich and that was amazing as well. I highly recommend it. I hear a lot about the banana pudding, but I haven’t tried it yet. My son got a Oreo milkshake and said it was pretty good. Overall, very filling to say the least. The only thing that I could possibly complain about is that it was very small. There was no place to sit down. It’s a takeout place. The order was done fairly fast and was properly put together neatly. The place was overall clean and the staff was very friendly. The price was decent as well being about $13 for the entire meal and like I said you can get probably two meals or more out of it so for me it was worth it.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Delicious hot / spicy chicken. Their loaded fries with chopped chicken is amazing. Its a take out place only. Polite staff. You can pick your level of hot spice. “Hot” was good enough for me.

Food is so much yummy 😋 and delicious and very fast service, i must recommend to all philly citizen to visit and make your day yummy😋 also try milkshake and smoothies its tasty 💝 now its has a seating place

Service was excellent. Walked right in and ordered. Only waited a few minutes. The chicken is great and so are the fries. Man but the sauce is something else! If you haven’t tried this place yet, you should stop in

Go with a huge appetite. The food is cooled fresh and the service is fast and satisfying. When they say sides, trust that they mean sides for a family. I got a side of loaded fries and it was a meal plus leftovers. Loaded with all fresh meat! They don't cheat you on portions. Another 3rd shift city favorite amongst the men.

There has been a surge in marketing for this place so I needed to try it out. Not sure if it was worth the hype. I waited 30 minutes just to get a chance to order and then had to wait again for the food. I got the chicken which was affordable, ~$10-20 budget is good per person. Problem was the quality of the chicken. Very sodium heavy with too much spicing which made the food distasteful. For the wait and lack of seating experience, I don't think I would come back here.

Hey, folks, just gonna share some thoughts on Asad's Hot Chicken. Been around for a bit now in West Philly, and gotta say, those two-piece BIG OLE chicken fingers with fries? Yeah, they're kinda hitting different. I mean, you wouldn't expect much, just some chicken and fries, right? But these chicken fingers? They've got this subtle heat, this crunch that's kinda addictive. And the fries? Simple, but slightly spicy. It gives old bay-ish seasoning, but they just work, you know? Service? It serves. And the vibe at Asad's? It's cool, laid-back. Like, you walk in, and it's like, "Yeah, I could hang here for a bit...just a little. lol (Not the biggest place and there's no chairs or tables. Strictly pick-up.) So, if you're ever in the area and feeling peckish, might as well swing by Asad's Hot Chicken. Give those two-piece chicken fingers with fries a shot. Can't hurt, right? What's your fave hot chicken spot?

The food as always is delicious, especially if you love spicy food. I see why they sell milkshakes and smoothies! Because everything is spicy! My son and I stopped here after shopping at BJ's. This location is soo much closer than Cottman Avenue. We ordered our usual -- the Number 1 (for myself) and the Number 3 (for him). Food was on point as usual. Now, this is a brick and mortar building, not the gas station like the original. It's very small inside, so only a few people can wait inside, and on a day like we went -- rainy, people were trying to pack inside. You're basically ordering your food and leaving. There's NO WAY you can sit inside while people order their food|wait. The service leaves a lot to be desired though, because we received our food but had to wait forever for the drinks. They have come up with a better order of service when people order drinks with their meals. Hopefully, they'll catch their footing and become better with time!!

Got the #1 with the heat level "hot." I put hot in quotations because the heat was not there at all. It basically tasted like the mild heat flavor and i'm not even close to being a big spice person so that says a lot. If you like actual heat I suggest getting extra hot or scorching hot. I gave this place 4 stars because the chicken was a decent size and really juicy. The fries also had the perfect crunch on the outside but were soft and pillowy on the inside with a nice old bay seasoning. The sauce had a mild smokey chipotle flavor and didn't overpower the food. The vibe inside was a bit awkward and there wasn't any music or anything, just 10 ish people standing in silence and the cashier just awkwardly standing there, some music would def boost the vibe in there. I would come back and try the extra hot flavor.

I heard good things about Asad's, so I made it a point to stop by on my recent trip to Philly. Before even getting to the food, my experience was made more hectic by the amount of time it took to get my order prepared. Despite ordering online ahead of time and taking my sweet time getting to the restaurant, I had to wait almost 30 minutes once there for my food. The food itself, however, was really delicious! I ordered the medium heat loaded fries. The chicken was well seasoned, and very moist. I was so pleasantly surprised that there was a bite of chicken for almost every forkful of fries - I usually find myself rationing out my meat or toppings when I buy loaded fries. the sauce on the chicken and fries was delicious!

very good food

Second time ordering (online for pick-up) from this location. Skipped the line both times. Tender Wrap (Hot Honey) - $6.99, A+ Tutti Frutti Smoothie - $7.99, A+

Carried hard by an avg sauce. The chicken itself leaves something to be desired. The fries were pretty standard.

This place had good and friendly customer service, the chicken sandwich was made perfectly. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Now it's a fast food place but not your average fast food. I ordered the medium level heat, the spices and the sauce they put on the chicken were flavorful for a fast food spot. I am glad that they serve halal chicken which I find tastier and cleaner. I'd try this place again.

Great food! My go-to meal after a long day! The loaded fries are the best and a must gave whenever you visit!

The chicken is amazing and the Loaded fries are the best I can't wait to go back again .....

Terrible customer service Security at the door is way too aggressive It's chicken It's not that serious Very off putting with armed security at the door Do not recommend for families or black or brown people

The wait was long and exhausting it took at least 30 minutes for a 2 piece tenders and 1 milkshake. The staff were nice though.

The chicken and French fry quality is incredible, seasoned is an understatement and never use old frying oil. I have personally never ran into a line or waited longer than 15 minutes for the food after ordering, maybe there's a lunch rush that I haven't encountered yet. It's a great takeout spot and especially good for late-nights.

I've been to the other Asad's location located in North Philly (off of Rosevelt Blvd), and that places blows this one out the water. What this location does well is service and wait time. It's miles better. Staff was kind, quick, and food came out pipping hot. I got my chicken mild (this was a first for me), and it didn't taste like they put any salt in the seasoning. So it had flavor but it felt like I just licked a chicken covered with a Cajun seasoning that forgot its salt... I visited early after they opened their location so hopefully over time they get closer to the other locations in the Philly area.

The Cottman and Roosevelt Blvd location makes good food (choose HOT)! But as for their app don't waste your time even after waiting the 20-30 minutes to pick it up I was told at the window they don't prepare your order till you are there? I have a 30 minute lunch meaning I had to wolf down my food quickly and couldn't enjoy it as I should have if they did their best for the customers

Gave me food poisoning. Was excited to go here for the first time, woke up the next morning going to work and then threw up. Went to the urgent care and I was told I have food poisoning
