Amazing Burger Joint… 5/5 So this place was recommended to me and a couple of weeks ago, I went there with my family. We dined out on the patio, ordered the burgers and waffle fries. Loved the burger, liked the fries and was too full to review right away. 👍🏻 @ChenChen’s

I ordered on Uber Eats not familiar with the location but the menu and deals looked TOO good to pass up. When I tell you that this is the most presentable, and tastiest food I have ever ordered on Uber Eats in my life?? The best fried chicken I have EVER eaten? Absolutely true. I didnt know what I was expecting but I tried pretty much a bit of everything. Read the reviews on the chicken sandwich and knew I HAD to try it. Even with delivery, BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH I HAVE EVER EATEN. In my life. 100%. I got it with just pickles on it due to being a picky girl. Still amazing. I was smacking my gums on it like I just rolled up 🍃, completely sober, on cloud 9. I have leftovers too! Pictures attached of the things I ordered and individual thoughts for convenience: Side order of bacon mac and cheese: so rich and creamy, the bacon and chives added the perfect amount of savoury. Loved it. Elote: the corn was the perfect amount of sweet and savoury. If you like parmesan you will love this, it is what adds the salty flavours. (Tip: add extra melted butter it elevates it 🤭) Szechuan Chicken sandwich: Fantastic, give me 14 of them right now. Not too saucy, the bun was soft and NEVER soggy. Chicken and waffles: gorgeous. They came without sauce and the seasoning underneath the breading. Think popeyes but so much better. Crispy, melt in your mouth. I dont know how a chicken tender felt like it was falling off the bone but it did. The Belgian waffle was just a normal waffle but worked as a buttery fluffy bread if you want a tender sandwich. Side of waffle fries: usual waffle fries but salted perfectly, crispy, good oily flavour. I have never in my life felt drawn to write a review after a delivery order. RUN dont walk.

Ordered the Nashville and the Szechuan plus cauliflower and the spicy waffle fries - really high quality chicken and fries were great. I thought I knew spice but I guess not. The Szechuan level and the hot level spice knocked my socks off, took me a while to recover. But overall still recommend and next time will get medium

Best fried chicken I've tried in Toronto. The OG nashville sandwich comes with brioche bun and coleslaw. This is the highest quality of frued chicken I've had. It would taste good on its own as tenders. Waffle fries were good and I recommend taking a few bites of the Mac and cheese whilst eating the chicken as it's comparatively less salty than the nashville chicken and pairs well.

Definitely hits the spot with the Szechuan sauce. The interior design of the restaurant is really cool but not great for a date, for that you will need good weather. There’s tons of outdoor seating that is a good distance from any traffic. The spice isn’t that hot so i recommend going up a level if you are feeling adventurous.

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!

We got the Szechuan hot chicken sandwich and it was the best chicken sandwich we ever had. We got hot spice level and it was balanced really well with the sauce, and the chicken was very crispy too! We also got the dirty south with the waffle fries and bacon bits and it was perfect for my hangover. The Mac and cheese was also really good and not too heavy! Overall I would say it’s better than Dave’s hot chicken. You need to try the chicken sandwich, every bite was amazing 😩 10/10 would come back again!!

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.
