Ponko chicken is one of my absolute favorite hidden gems in the Athens area! The crispy chicken is phenomenal and always a hit with the fam! Not to mention the impeccable atmosphere and hospitality that is there everytime we go. Perfect for any event that you need a quick dinner on the go for.
Very good food and wonderful staff. Will definitely be coming back!!

Great place, I will go back for sure. It would be nice if they told you beforehand that the wings are NOT fried. Literally the only thing on the menu that isn’t fried for some reason is the wings which is very bizarre. Great atmosphere.

Very cool place. Super clean and has a trendy atmosphere. Chicken is different from everywhere else and is really good. I didn't need sauce with it and I put sauce on everything!

This was truthfully some of the best food I’ve had in a long time. I had the ponko chicken with rice both spicy. The rice was seasoned fantastically and the chicken was super juicy and tender. The spicy sauce left a great flavor in my mouth without overpowering any of the other flavors. I will definitely find myself eating here again.

I love this place. I talk with the manager about 15 minutes about how great the tables was in here amd the swings. Found out the owner made them. Great atmosphere and the food was top 5 in Athens.

Employees were so kind & our food was ready in no time! They even gave a friend of mine a free side since she couldn’t decide what she wanted. So sweet— hard to find customer service like that nowadays! 10/10 rating!!
