Chen Chen's Nashville Hot Chicken

Chen Chen's Nashville Hot Chicken brings authentic Nashville hot chicken with a chef-inspired Asian twist to Toronto. Founded by Chen Chen—who was born in China, raised in Nashville, and trained at George Brown College—the restaurant combines Southern comfort food traditions with bold Asian-inspired heat. The menu features signature items like the Nashville Hot Chicken Sando and Szechuan Hot Chicken Sando, alongside snack-sized options, crispy fries, coleslaw, and house-made sauces.

Located at The Well, Chen Chen's reflects its founder's belief in doing simple things exceptionally well: crisp, juicy fried chicken served with the warm hospitality that defines Southern food culture. The restaurant's culinary approach is informed by Chen's experience cooking at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival and his commitment to consistency and flavor. Open Tuesday through Sunday with varying hours, Chen Chen's caters to Toronto diners seeking culture, spice, and unforgettable flavor in a menu that's both comforting and exciting.
