    200 degree wings
    Vivek M.

    I recently visited 400 Degrees Hot Chicken and tried their Nashville hot chicken at the 200 Degrees spicy level. Even though this wasn't the spiciest option, it packed plenty of heat, and I loved it! The spice didn't taste artificial or like capsaicin powder--it came from real peppers and a flavorful spice blend, which made the chicken both spicy and tasty. While the food was great, the service could've been better. Despite ordering online for DoorDash pickup with an estimated 30-minute wait, it took an hour to get my order, and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy at the time. That said, the ambiance was nice, with plenty of seating and a lot of locals, which speaks to the love people have for their hot chicken.

    Sllllllooooooow service. We waited a hour for our food. It wasn't packed and it was only 3 of us. I mean , we were very hungry so it wasn't ideal to wait that long but there's nothing else over there and we really wanted hot chicken. They told us a 25 minute wait.. that turned into an hour. I really really wanted the pork chop. I'd been watching it online for a long time before my trip, only to find out after an hour that they DO NOT have the pork chop!! Honestly it looks like they are servicing call in or door dash orders first cause it's like a line of orders just sitting on the counter but NONE of those people are in here. They are waiting to be picked up. That's probably where the pork chop was! The food was not what we hoped for. We ordered the Leg Quarter , they did give us 2, I am thinking that could've been to make up for the pork chop as they gave us a few extra shrimp too. The leg quarter was soooo greasy and tasted like burned grease to us. None of us liked it! It was greease all up in the chicken. Now I love me some crispy chicken so I'm happy for all the skin but oooh baby no to the taste of burned grease The shrimp was inconsistent in size. Some of them were really big and others regular size. Not really an issue just an observation. I did like the shrimp but my friends didn't . However i liked them. Tasted very different from the chicken. Total was $59 They do have a place where you can take pictures. It's setup with a ring light and all. We certainly took advantage of it. Now they are pleasant! Very pleasant. Even when I complained about the timing they were still nice about it.

    Stopped in based upon reviews as we were passing through. It seems to be a locals place. Order at the counter from a very friendly, informative lady. The wait was 45-60 minutes, we were told the cook was running about an hour behind. The locals coming in didn't seem surprised by the wait time. There were many call ahead orders coming out. They do have a sign that says freshly prepared, please be patient. Everything is A La Carte My husband ordered a 200° breast quarter. It was good but a bit wetter than he cares for. Said the spice was good. We got baked beans, they were a little on the sweet side, potato salad, decent and fries, hot and fresh though a bit more cooked than I cared for but just how my husband likes them. Overall we thought it was ok but not just wow factor.

    The Greatest Hot Chicken in the Universe.

    I've now been to eighty-seven Nashville Hot Chicken places in my home of Southern California and eight in Nashville, when I went during the first week of April. The best hot chicken I have eaten in America, so far, is in Nashville, of course, but it's not at the two places where you think it might be - "Prince's" and "Hattie B's" - although both of them are definitely amazing. The best Hot Chicken in North America is at family-owned 400 Degrees. 400 Degrees is just outside of Nashville, in a non-descript parking lot next to an auto supply shop. It is the best hot chicken I have tasted, out of all of the ninety-five places I've been. Once you bite into it, you're not "you" anymore. You become a new being that never existed in the moments before you tried it. It's every superlative I can think of. The breading, which is a meal in itself, is like a rainbow in breading form. Deep flavor (spicy and sweet) that your taste buds never knew existed. Combination of dry rub and wet rub is outstanding and, as at Prince's, it soaks all the way through the bread, forming a new baked good that shouldn't be allowed to exist but it does. The breading is a meal in itself. You almost thought I was going to forget to talk about the chicken: perfect. Moist, flavorful, excellent. Tenders are exactly the right size. The regular hot level is called "200 Degrees." It's the one I got and it was perfect. ("400 Degrees" is extra hot, but I don't think I could have gone any hotter.) Excellent homemade baked beans, with the perfect amount of sweetness. They also offer Nashville Hot Pork Chops and Nashville Hot Shrimp. Next time. A++++++++++++++++ for 400 Degrees. (I wish there was one here in Los Angeles!) I will return.

    The food was very good and fresh. First time trying hot catfish it was very good with the 100 degrees heat level and comes with mustard, pickles and on onions. On top of white bread. Not too spicy but just enough and was seasoned very well. The 200 degrees flavor is a big jump in heat from the 100 degrees. But was still very good on the chicken tenders. The service was very good and quick. The inside of the restaurant was very clean also. Definitely will be back when I visit Nashville again.

    I have been hearing about 400 Degrees for awhile and decided to head there for lunch. 400 Degrees is located on the northern part of Nashville, so it was a bit of a drive and as I pulled in I guess the kindest description would be that its ambiance is nondescript and unassuming. OK, it is nothing fancy, but there is nothing wrong with that. My introduction to hot chicken was at the old Prince's location and that location brought nondescript and unassuming to a new level. The people working here are friendly and warmly welcomed me and took my order. Hot chicken is made to order, so it will take a bit to get to you, but hot chicken is more than worth the wait. I am more than slightly obsessed with this culinary godsend. I must say that I was intrigued by their hot porkchop and hot shrimp, but I wanted to start this on a level playing field and try a hot chicken breast, prepared their hottest. As much as I would love to say that it was life altering (much like when I first stumbled upon Prince's about seventeen years ago), I found this to be rather run of the mill. I have had worse, but I certainly had better. The potato salad i had was pretty good, but again, i ha e had better. I will give here another try, this time with the hotter off the menu heat level and I will try the pork chop. I hope that perhaps I caught them at an off time, like I said, they were such nice people.

    The chicken is decent but not amazing and definitely not worth how long we waited. I went in and ordered strips and a breast at 100 degrees and it took 45 minutes. The lady that took my order was friendly. I chose to wait in my car, as the inside had an odd smell to me. 100 degrees was just enough. It was mild but definitely had a kick. I did feel like the chicken was lacking overall flavor and really just had spice. The place appeared clean and well taken care of.

    The catfish was great! The chicken was good too, but I preferred the catfish. The staff was very friendly and helpful!

    I want to start by saying I hope they were just having an off day because I was looking forward to trying this place out. On arriving we drove past it and had to turn around because it's in a small stand alone building. Parking is very limited so we parked next door in a grave area that we saw other cars in. We loved the murals outside, especially the wing wall that we HAD to get a picture in front of. When we walked in there was no one inside, we went and ordered. They prompted us that it would be around 30 minutes, which we were completely fine with. I ordered the cauliflower (which is why we went because they had a veg head option for me) and Ryan ordered the leg. A bunch of people came in for pick up orders. Two groups came in after us, one being a couple who ordered the same thing, and another who sat down. Around 30 mins the couple who came in after us got their food, around 8 minutes later the next group got their food. Finally at 45 minutes, we got our food. Now let me tell you I'm not giving this rating because of the fact that two groups got the food before us, it was the fact that unfortunately I had just felt that the food was not worth it. The seasoning on the breading was great, but underneath the breading and the hotness it was bland. I'd recommend ordering the 200 if you like spice because even our noses were running from that. I'll be 100% would I tell people to try this place? Yes, but would I go back? Probably not. It just did not live up to the expectations we set beforehand.

We had a couple of questions about the menu such as, do they not have the Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup or the Mac & Cheese Bowl anymore ( They have removed these items from the menu ) and the employee was kinda rude about it and I really didn't like that. Anyway--- The Sandwiches are really good and the sides were good. They also do catering and you can find them on Facebook and Instagram. There is a covered outdoor patio along with shared seating inside. It's a good place to grab a Grilled Cheese and a tasty Milkshake.

Food trucks can always be hit or miss with the wait time, food quality and prices. I think that Busan Bop does a fine job with their food and menu but my particular choice of food wasn't so impressive I would order again or even from this food truck again. My coworkers and I were incredibly excited that this truck was going to be at Vanderbilt's staff appreciation event. Most of us intended to order the bibimbop but by the time we got to the front of the line they had sold out of the bacon fried rice and the bibimbop. I ordered the japchae with the beef brisket. The beef brisket was the best thing on that dish. The rest was a little underwhelming. The vegetables in the dish (mushrooms, green onions, carrots and red peppers) were sparse and the noodles didn't retain any of the flavor of the sauce they had sauteed it in. The kimchi on top of the dish added some more flavor and spice which I enjoyed. They did give hot sauce out to us when we asked for it as well. I think if I had gotten to try the bibimbop I would've enjoyed it more. The japchae was not very filling nor satisfying but the taste and flavor was pretty good.

Both dishes can be served with spicy chicken, Korean bbq beef brisket, and sauteed mushrooms. The truck owner noted that she sometimes adds other dishes to the menu as well, such as kimchi fried rice with smoked bacon. For drinks, the Bop offers sodas, Korean specialty drinks, and peach tea. I was lucky to find the Bop near my workplace to test out the food. I ordered the japchae with spicy chicken, which was short-cut sweet potato glass noodles cooked perfectly in a tasty sauce with a variety of vegetables. The sauce is more cooked into the noodles than it is poured on top. It had less sesame oil than what I was used to in japchae, but it was still quite delicious. The spicy chicken was not very spicy at all (I asked for it that way). I imagine if I had asked for it to be spicier, she would have been able to make it so. The peach tea, which was a black tea that seemed to be sweetened and flavored with peach juice, was the perfect companion to the meal. A coworker ordered the bibimbap, and it looked delicious as well! If you have the good fortune to stumble upon the Bop, definitely give it a try!
