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?

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.

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

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!

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

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 doorDo not recommend for families or black or brown people

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.
