Hot Chicken Between Two Campuses
Asad’s Hot Chicken University City sits at 16 S 40th St, right off the 40th Street corridor between the Penn and Drexel campuses — a short walk from the 40th St Market–Frankford Line station. Campus lunch, study-break fuel, or a post-party plate at 2 AM: this jawn’s got you.
This is the latest-closing Asad’s in the entire chain — open till 2:25 AM on weeknights, 3 AM on Friday and Saturday — which makes it University City’s go-to for late-night halal food. The menu is the same one that made us a Philly favorite: Nashville-style hot chicken fried fresh to order, 100% halal, with six spice levels running from No Spice to Scorchin’.
Dine in, grab pickup between classes, or get delivery straight to your door. However you order it, it shows up hot.
