Chen Chen's Nashville Hot Chicken

🍟Loaded Fries: the waffle fries elevated this dish and the diced chicken on top was yummy. The cheese sauce however, took this down a notch. It was clumpy and not too appetizing after having barely cooled down. 🥪🍗🌶️ Nashville hot chicken sandwich: the bun, sauce, coleslaw, and chicken breading were all standard. What was off-putting was the color of the chicken - a dark grey on the inside. I didn’t get sick, but it wasn’t too appetizing as I bit into it. This could just be a dark meat thing, but it did affect my experience. 🍗🥢Szechuan chicken tenders: the sauce was delicious and sweet. The chicken itself looked much less gray then the chicken sandwich. If I were to order again from Chen Chen’s, I would just order this item. There isn’t much seating. I’d recommend this place for takeout or delivery only. Overall, a budget option and nice to try if you’re in the area. I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to purchase this meal again, though.

We ordered for takeout and the food service was great and amazingly fast. We got the large mac and cheese without bacon, the elote, po’boy sandwich and the Szechuan poultrygeist extra hot. The food was good overall, the Szechuan chicken burger was great and the spice did not disappoint. What was underwhelming was the mac and cheese. It did pair well with the Szechuan sandwich however on its own, it was lacking in flavour. Overall, I would go back for the chicken sandwich but I do think its on the pricier side.

Honestly best fried 🐔 burger in Toronto. The chicken burgers are always fried perfectly and with the right amount of spice. Get the medium spice (mild you will not taste anything). Fairly filling sandwich worth the distance. Washrooms have kinda been neglected.

Found this cute little gem while walking, the owner was nice and attentive! The food was incredible especially the corn, the chicken was succulent, crispy and full of flavour. I didn't take a pic of the chicken, I was too hungry! Gobbled that right up!

Ordered Nashville hot chicken tenders (the spiciest version) and it was delicious. Even with the delivery the tenders were crisp and the meat was super tender. With that level of spice I was surprised, that the heat wasn’t the overwhelming part. The chicken was indeed delicious. The aioli wasn’t as great as the chicken, had better ones. But didn’t matter as I am not a dip guy. Still a five star for the chicken.

The chicken sandwich tasted very good at first, but as I ate more of it, I developed an off, oily aftertaste in my mouth. It felt a little sickening, to be honest. The fries were good.

I tried the Szechuan Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and it was the best chicken sandwich I ever had! Just enough spice (I chose medium spice), tart from the pickles and sweetness and creaminess from the slaw. All the flavors are balanced! The chicken was so flavorful and juicy and the bread was soft! I also loved the Nashville Elote Corn. Everything we had taste a bit spicy. If you love spicy chicken, this is the place to be!

I was lucky to have a friend who is also a Yelp elite, and got into this event with me. This way we got to try both sandwiches and an order to side of fries to complement the meal. I found them really big and saucy, especially the Szechwan one (which was mine). I had to keep putting it down and wiping my hands but it was really tasty. Definitely a bang for your buck with the portion size. I liked my friends Nashville chicken more as it has the buttery flavour and not as much movement. I was definitely stuffed after this meal, probably wouldn't go back for dinner but a lunch meal for sure. Update- this meal did NOT do right by me yesterday. I woke up in the middle of the night in excruciating pain. I've had many different fried food in the past and I've never reacted the way I did yesterday.
