Had the Nashville Tenders Meal with medium spice added. I thought it was pretty good. The sauce kind of sogged the breading. I really liked the sides especially the buttermilk Mac n cheese, it was really excellent. Good fries as well. The corn....... not so good. Small take out restaurant which get overwhelmed at lunch time. Plenty of seating inside post office dining area. Hard workers at the window. read more

Hot Chi Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is located inside the old post office building in the main lobby food court. I came in here for lunch as I work occasionally in the building. I grabbed the Popeyes ain't sh*t sandwich and some crinkle cut fries. The total was about $17 with tax which is a bit steep. I got my sandwich promptly and sat down to chow down. I got it with the medium spice and found it to be really good. The heat is enough to give flavor but not make you regret it when you're on the toilet later. The sandwich was good, and I would agree it's better than Popeyes but for the price it damn well should be. read more

Spicy chicken sandwiches have been the rage over the past few years. Working in the Loop, I opted for trying out Hot Chi Chicken in Revival Food Hall. It was not a bad idea. I ordered the Popeyes Ain't Blim Chicken Sandwich. I got it spicy. It was messy and over-the-top delicious. I'd order it again. The fries were crispy but slightly lukewarm by the time I had walked a block back to work. The prices are what you can expect from downtown restaurants and cafes. I liked the sandwich, and the menu has a few other offerings. This won't be an ongoing thing, but I could enjoy one of their other sandwiches every so often. read more

Hot Chi Chicken - Popeyes Ain't [Wahn] Chicken Sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Damn good chicken sandwich! I love leaving fun reviews but given these high minded types in the review, I'm going straight forward with this one. Here we go... If you visit Hot Chi, you'll have several options, all of which are very good. I got their Popeye's "rival" sandwich and cheat fries along with Peach tea. Literally everything was very good about it, the bread, sauce, ingredients, chicken, all excellent. I went with 'Hot' to not overdo it and the heat was perfect, enjoyable but not overbearing. I literally seek out chicken sandwiches and the Roamin' Rooster in DC is probably the only one that comes to mind in this price point that's comparable. They absolutely destroy the fast food versions and even those at highly respected sit down restaurants (which shant be named). Regarding the price, if you feel it's a bit high, consider the quality you are getting along with the location/environment. It's completely fair in my opinion. However, if you're looking for parking access and bottom dollar to base your review around, there's a ton of chicken spots in the middle in large parking lots that you can check out. read more

Damn. So I've never been to this shop's original Chatham location but this new spot at the new Old Post Office food hall is great. You'll need more than 3 napkins. Staff was very friendly. Said the debate was which was better: the hot honey or the better than Popeyes. I went for the first. Not disappointed. Crunchy. Great pickles. It's choose your own heat so I went for Hott! Awesome, although I could go even higher (I'm that guy) so will go for their max level next time. read more

This is probably the most inconsistent place in the from here on food hall. I've gotten the burgers and tenders here a few times hoping it would get better now that they have their footing but the quality hasn't improved much. Quality- the burgers come in 5 hotness Levels. Some days it would be way too spicy and other days it's not spicy enough. I typically get a medium level and sometimes I am breathing fire when I bite into it. There also isn't much chicken. It is mostly breading that makes it look big. The chicken is always over cooked too. It's always too dry when I bite into it. Quantity- I can get a higher quality cheaper burger elsewhere. 13 bucks for a burger is a bit steep and so is 10 bucks for 2 tenders. Atmosphere- OPO has a very nice lobby area. It is quite spacious. Service- very slow. Takes a bit to get my order sometimes. read more

Hot Chi Chicken - a hand holding a sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Customer service was good and friendly. The food was okay, I had the "Cheat-day Fries" and a Peach ice tea. The fries were good but could use more chicken, especially considering the price. I ordered them Mild, and I will definitely get the HOT next time. Tea was also good. read more

I'm quite familiar with the food here as I've frequented the south side location several times. What was new here was the "cheat day fries" & tbh I sort of enjoyed this more than the sandwich. My sandwich from this location was dry but I believe it's solely due to the fact that they weren't as heavy handed with the sauce as the other location. I was perturbed at the almost $12 but after feeling how heavy the dish was I was ok. It's easily 2 lbs of food if not more. For some he 1st half of the fired I got a piece of chicken in each bite. It worth mentioning that all the food is a healthy serving. Once the weather permits I'd love to see in the east facing patio as well. read more

The other locations I've been to are fantastic!! Somehow this sandwich tastes like shit, and I've never encountered rude workers at the other locations, but here? Unbelievable. . read more

Revival food hall is very cool with lots of options. Went here and got the Popeyes Ain't Shit and Buttermilk Mac - they are not kidding about the chicken sandwich! That thing was amazing!! 11/10. I give the Mac and cheese a 7/10.... Good, but not great. Service was super quick. read more

Hot Chi Chicken - Popeyes Ain't Shit and Buttermilk Mac & Cheese - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My company just moved into the Old Post Office and I was excited to try Hot Chi for my first lunch in the new space. First of all, the OPO is beautiful -- such a great space. Hot Chi's menu is somewhat limited, but it's strictly a lunch situation and what they do have, they do it right. Several levels of heat are available, topping out with "call your momma." I love spice, but not having eaten before I didn't want to risk the hottest option on the first try so I went one level below that. The sandwich didn't disappoint. Excellent level of heat. The chicken itself was juicy and the sauce/toppings were top-notch. The only downside is that the fries were just average -- nothing special. The sandwich is definitely worth visiting for, though! Excited to have this as a lunch option when I'm onsite for work! read more

Hot Chi Chicken - Popeye's Ain't Sht - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been walking around my new work neighborhood trying out new places This place did not make the cut. The hot sauce was horrible, the chicken was lukewarm, and the fries were hard and cold. I spent $17.00, ate 1/4 of meal, and threw the rest out. An expensive failure. read more

From my bf who tried their chicken- Popeyes ain't shit sandwich- 8/10 Good but not outstanding. Wish it had spicy mayo. The seasoning had a sort of middle eastern flavor (not overpowering tho) Tenders- 9/10 The seasoning and the crunch make it good Cheat day fries- 10/10 they are amazing!! the sauce is delicious, it was delivered still steaming. You have to order these if you try this place. (i tried a bite without the chicken and it was so flavorful) They give a big serving too read more

Hot Chi Chicken - Cheat Day Fries, after they got halfway devoured - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Terrible service, ordered $78 of food and threw everything in the garbage. I Ordered hot flavor and it was not eatable. We love spicy food but this was ridiculous and the worst part that the girls that took our order couldn't explain or give any suggestion on the levels of spiciness. Will never go again! read more

Always ways great food. Carefully curated meals worth every penny. However the service is pretty terrible. The woman at the Revival Hall was rude, speaks very low, seems impatient, doesn't look in your eyes, having side conversations with other colleagues, all doing this with a speaker blasting. Maybe they should pay more attention to customers and cleaning the restaurant nook. It looks pretty dirty. read more

I had really high hopes for this chicken sandwich place since I see it all over my tiktok, but unfortunately that was not the case. I got the honey butter chicken sandwhich, and I have to say you couldn't really taste any honey butter flavor. The chicken was also not fresh, so there was absolutely no crunch at all which sucks. I also got a side of fries but this was so bad. It tasted so flavorless, just frozen potatoes thrown into a fryer. Wish this cud live up to what it portrays, but it's worse than other chicken sandwhiches around town. read more

i really enjoy this place and love the halal options. definitely a messy eating experience tho haha

We wanted to check out the new post office building and have lunch -- and stopped at the Hot Chi Chicken counter. We had the hot chi salad and the tenders. Both flavors were EXCELLENT -- we tried mild and hott. One of the best chicken salads I've had -- the flavor was phenomenal. Our only critique was that the fries could have been fresher, but all in all, we really enjoyed what we had from here! read more

Got the cheat day fries at the Revival Food Hall location for lunch today - did not include the chopped up chicken tender (as described on the website). Didn't notice until I was back to the office (took it to go). I essentially paid $12 for fries, butter, and cheese sauce. Ugh. read more

Ordered the Popeyes chicken sandwich and it was nasty. There was way too much sauce which made the chicken super soggy. The bread was completely disintegrated. I felt like I was eating hot sauce mash. read more
