I ordered Ponko 3 piece chicken plate with 2 sides of fries. If it weren't BOGO on Uber eats, I would give it 2 stars . The 3 pieces are small and thin. The OG sauce is nondescript, slight sweet taste, not flavorful at all. The fries had a good texture, nothing exceptional. No chocolate chips in chocolate chip oatmeal cookie, 2 in order. Probably won't try it again. read more

This was my first time eating at the Marietta Square Market, and I was somewhat overwhelmed with choices when I arrived. I stuck to my guns and settled on Ponko chicken after seeing them featured on an episode of Atlanta Eats. I went with the 3 tenders tossed in OG sauce, fries and rice. It truthfully got better with every bite. I wasn't blown away with my first taste of the chicken, but it got more flavorful as I continued with the meal. The tender absorbed the sauce, and stilled the crisp crunch ( which is my favorite part of a chicken tender). The fries were very crisp, and being a pretty plain Jane eater, I really enjoyed the rice as well. It'll be hard to make a selection on where to eat next time I visit the Marietta Square Market, but Ponko Chicken definitely was a solid choice. read more

PONKO Chicken is popping up all over the metro area and will have 9 locations by the end of 2022...this particular location sits inside of the Marietta Square Market and is placed right off the main lobby across from Forno and next to Lucky's. PONKO is all about those American Chicken Tenders with a Japanese twist or touch. The menu, while limited, is full of flavor and is heavy on tenders. They have achieved a lighter and crispier tender in my opinion with the breading used and the fact that they fry in rice bran oil instead of the other commonly used oils of canola and corn. The most popular way to enjoy PONKO is through a plate, which comes with your choice of protein, two sides and a dipping sauce. I go this route on occasion getting the OG tenders sided with the house fries and those delish green beans and you can never go wrong with the OG sauce, but that spicy hits right too! In addition to the plate, I have enjoyed the taco...that jalapeno crema is perfection! If you are looking for dessert, while I have never tried, their fresh baked cookies and those cakecups look like they would be the perfect ending to a good meal. Personally I normally save my dessert for the nearby bakery when at MSM, but I definitely should scoop up a cakecup on my next visit! Overall, I enjoy this location of PONKO. The staff is always friendly and helpful, the food is always tasty and served with relative quickness, so no issues...only tasty chicken! read more

I dined at the PONKO Chicken that is located in the Marietta Square Market food court. I came here with high expectations from what I've heard from others. Unfortunately, I was less than impressed. I ordered the 5 piece Ponko Chicken and the first thing I noticed was that the sizes are quite small for the price. Secondly, I was hoping to try the Ponko Pickles, but I was told that they were out of pickles, so that was a little disappointing. I ended up getting the fries as my side. They were ok, but nothing special. Overall, I thought the flavor of the chicken was nice. But it seems a little overpriced for what you get and I was unable to try the side I was hoping to try. read more

Ponko, where have you been all my life? Yes, it's just chicken tenders with panko on the outside but man...PONKO Chicken took it next level. The chicken was moist and tender and the panko breading was perfect per bite. The staff was helpful, friendly, and patient during my recent visit. Also, provided popular recommendations when asked "what's the best thing to order." Definitely get some hot sauce on the side of you want a little kick. The tea/lemonade options are good. They also give you one free refill on them which was an awesome perk. It's a bit on the pricy side when you see the amount that comes with your order (3 tenders) but it was definitely still filling. read more

My date was raving about this place when I mentioned the chicken places I liked. So we opted to check it out, bc my chicken radar was fully triggered. PONKO resides inside the Marietta Market Square. This place reminds me of Ponce City Market but smaller scale. However, they clearly have lots of options in here, including a full bar area (will have to do separate review on this space). We ordered the PONKO Chicken, PONKO tofu and side of rice, sweet potato fries & salad. It wasn't until my first bite, that I realized how right she was about the chicken here. Probably the second best chicken I've had ever, EVER. South City Kitchen would just barely beat them out. The breading they used on the chicken, the sauce and the tenderness were all perfect. A very sweet, soy-like sauce to it. The tofu was the best I've had. It looked like little French toast dippers you'd see at Burger King. Wow! Let's be honest here, you don't need any additional sauce for the chicken or tofu. I'm a condiment king, so that's saying a lot. The sides were good too, but you come here for the chicken ... that chicken is your entree and dessert all rolled into one. So glad this place was brought to my attention and hope to see more locations around town! read more

I love PONKO! Anytime I get a chance to get PONKO, I take it. So when I found myself in Marietta Square Market for lunch, the decision was easy. I marched right up their stall, which was easy to find. The staff was pleasant and greeted me. I ordered my go-to, tofu tenders plate with OG sauce and the brown rice and green beans for my two sides. My order was ready in under ten minutes. Everything came out hot and prepared consistent with other PONKOs. PONKO's tofu tenders are bomb and are the closest I can get to their amazing chicken tenders, which I've had many, many times before I gave up meat. The brown rice, which is a Japanese sticky rice and the green beans with miso tahini complement the OG tenders really well. All the sides are flavorful and have generous portions. Can't go wrong with PONKO! read more

5 stars! Had Ponko chicken with FOODA. I was clearly a first timer and the employee made a great recommendation. I told him that I was starving and even questioned if the 3 chicken sticks would be filling. Let me just say that the chicken is delicious and 3 pieces are more than enough. The sticky rice was perfect with a hint of something sweet. Enjoyed the cucumbers on top of the rice too. I have never bragged on potato salad, however it was really good...like bbq potato salad good!! Highly recommend!! read more

I order 12 tacos. I paid almost $50 and almost a $10 tip in addition. I wait 35 mins for the tacos...the taco shells were burned and crunchy...the chicken was maybe 2 inch tenders per taco...the chicken was extremely dry. The guy working was on what looked like a personal phone call the entire time...I brought my food back to ask for a remake and he didn't even apologize, or offer a refund or at least a gift card to use at another location. I waited another 25 mins for a remake of my tacos and I watched the cook the entire time working with one hand, while he was on the phone cooking...the tacos came out cold, and dry again...I asked for a refund and they are supposedly refunding $24 of my $58 spent. So the girl kept the almost $10 tip. I refuse to come back to this location...this was a terrible experience. I normally eat at the midtown location every weekend with my employees and have a great experience at that location. But this experience was just terrible. read more

I was about to pass this place by to check out Lucky's next door - but the young man working the counter was just so friendly and engaging, I had to stop. After a brief chat about my recycled handbag - I placed an order for the panko-coated french fries - hoping that they would stand up well to reheating later. (I had already stopped at Grand Champion and Just LoafN). I sampled a few and though not crispy - they were tasty. I oven-heated the fries about 4 hours after purchasing and they were still quite good. My fellow carnivores actually liked these fries best among everything I brought home from my Marietta Food Market trek. I'll definitely stop by again to try more of their offerings. PS - I get that PONKO is a play on the panko-bread crumb thing - but why PONKO and not simply PANKO. I checked out their website - but other than some press kit info and testimonials - I couldn't find any information on the 'Story' tab. They cook in rice bran oil which I had no idea was even a thing! read more

PONKO Chicken is the latest and newest food stand in Marietta Square Market (as of Jan 2019). It's basically a fast-casual chicken place with Asian influences The menu consist of various chicken dishes like plates (3 pc or 5 pc with 2 sides), sandwiches, tacos, salads, and more. The chicken in breaded, in probably panko breadcrumbs (hence its name) and comes with 3 different flavors: OG, spicy, and BBQ. I tried their 3 piece plate. My sides were rice and sweet potato fries, which cost extra $1 with the plate. For the flavor, I tried all 3. You can mix and match flavors to your liking. The chicken was boneless chicken tenders. They were juicy and crispy. But I didn't like any of the sauces. I guess if I had to choose my favorite sauce, it was the spicy one. But honestly I didn't think any of the sauces tasted good. But they know how to make a good, basic chicken tender though. Why was the sauce bad? I don't know. With its Asian influence, I was expecting some fancy Asian flavors. It needed more umami or whatnot. But it tasted like cheap bbq sauces from fast food places. Oh well. For the side, the rice was just rice with some sauce drizzled on top. The sweet potato fries were your standard sweet potato fries. I wasn't too impressed with the sides I got either. The portions were good. A male adult can be satisfied with a 3 pc and 2 sides plate. If you're really hungry though, 5 pieces might be a good option. After you order, they take your name and you wait for them to call it out. You have to stay near the PONKO chicken stand. They don't have a mic or anything to announce it. So don't go looking for a table. Stay in the vicinity until your food arrives. It's a bit inconvenient to me. read more

It's exactly what I've come to expect from Ponko's‼ The chicken is just as tasty as its other locations. This is my second visit & I'm glad Ponko's is now apart of the Cobb county suburbs, since I could only get it in the city during work. Now I can explore their menu more& give those highly recommended tacos a try. I'm still stuck on Ponko's chicken plate. It's a delicious combination of sticky rice, crispy fries, & deliciously flavored chicken fingers. Can't go wrong with this spot read more

The service here has always left a lot to be desired. But the food has always been good... until recently. A salad I ordered last week had a few pieces of old, brown romaine lettuce. I tried again today. The lettuce was obviously expired and the carrots had taken the form of a slimy mush. It was inedible and I returned everything for a refund.

On the day of my visit the place was packed with no seating space left. I ordered the basic which comes with fried chicken tenders and fries/ rice.

My husband and I decided to try PONKO Chicken for the first time tonight, picking it up on the way home. We had heard great things and were very excited. The first hiccup was they were out of tofu, which was what I had been planning on trying. I had to pick something else, so I choose the salad meal. My husband got the 5 pc PONKO chicken plate w/ green beans and potato salad. Total: $21+tax. Expensive, but hopefully worth it. Wrong. Once home, we opened up our order to find that we had received a very browned side salad (without the wontons), and 5 pc PONKO chicken and green beans. No potato salad. No receipt. The chicken was... meh. The salad looked past its expiration date. The potato salad completely missing. The only thing remotely good was the green beans. We were jipped out of at least $7 and the food was not even very good. It will be a long time, if ever, that we return. read more

First let me start by saying the customer service at this location was outstanding. I had several phone calls with Caitlin the manager there and was pleased every time. I ordered online through a 3rd party service and had some adjustments to make to the order. Unfortunately, the phone lines were down but I was able to get Caitlins phone number where she so easily adjusted my order( several times) and left me at ease. The food was delicious! I ordered a ton of tenders in chicken and tofu and lots of fries for a hungry bridal party to feast on back at the hotel after the reception. It was a hit for the whole group! Everyone was thrilled to enjoy the food and also wanted to bathe in the Buttermilk Ranch (it's that good). Ponko has become a delicious go-to meal for my friends and I. I highly recommend, especially the tofu tenders!! read more

This place rocks! Seriously SO good! I ordered spicy ponko chicken taco with the fixins'. I also ordered a side of fries. The price for a very satisfying meal was 6.89! That's right! Not even $7. The chicken pretty much went from end to emd of the taco, so nice size. The spicyness and crispiness was just right! Cooked to perfection. The fries were bountiful and well seasoned. The only reason I gave them 4 stars was because I felt the fries were a little too greasy and not as crunchy as they should be. Fee like they couldve been in there for one more minute.

We ordered dinner, paid for it, tipped the driver, only to find out we have a dinner we cannot eat... I would give ponko and Uber eats zero stars if that were an option. Horrible customer service...

Mac's is a well known local eatery, often for special occasions as it is a bit pricey. It has a…read morevery old rustic atmosphere that is quite nice with loft like open ceilings and patched exposed red brick walls. Due to the openness of the dining room, it is on the louder side making it difficult to talk with folks not sitting directly next to order across from one another. Service was very good, attentive, and frirfriendly. My wife and I both had ceasar salad, filet medium rare, and strawberry topped cheesecake. For sides we had asparagus and mashed potatoes. The sides wete quite good, the best part of our meals. The salad was okay though the dressing was on the more bland side and fresh ground pepper helped its flavor profile quite a bit. For a restaurant calling itself a "chophouse" and supposedly upscale, you would think they would know how to cook a steak or use a better quality steak. Our filets were cooked to proper temperature but lacked any taste of salt or seasoning and lacked any searing on the outside. The meat was chewy rather than tender and made us wonder "what's so special about this place" where parking availability is also a challenge!? So you would think dessert would be hard to mess up, but our cheesecake was nothing special at all. We've had better tasting Sara Lee cheesecake from the supermarket; definitely below expectation. We'll consider giving it another try, but at their prices there are so many other tried and true steakhouse we much prefer.

It's a small place but when it warms up, there is plenty of outside seating!

Hands down the best chicken biscuit in the metro area! And…read moreso much more. I absolutely love this place. The corned beef hash is addictive and delicious. The burgers are good. Portions are very generous!!! Seriously, I cannot finish most of the dishes. The mule basket feeds both of us! Service is very prompt and friendly. The restaurant always seems very busy yet we have always been able to easily find a table and parking. (Some kind of weird voodoo going on with that!) Despite the crowd the dining room feels comfortable not overly cramped. You stand in line, place your order, find a table, fetch your coffee and shortly your food arrives. The staff are ridiculously good and offer smiles all morning. Overall every time we eat here it is a wonderful experience. We leave with happy full bellies and smiles all around. I love it here.

My prompt to my gpt this morning included "family owned, cozy place, food that hugs you like a grandma after a long time away, etc" this is one of the best places I've been in USA so far. I also woke up idealizing to only try new things and no repeats but I've already ordered a second drink haha I absolutely don't want to leave. As soon as you walk in they greet you and help you out, then the bartender (I came by myself so I sat on the bar) approached me with the most warmth and helped me getting something according to her experience and taste but considering my taste and preferences. The food came (quick for how busy it is 12 min) The food tastes just like a grandmas food that she's been working the entire day on it. I can't wait to be back here. Also I didn't have anything the entire day and couldn't finish my plate because the amount of food is way more than decent. Place is clean, music is great and volume even better, you can see families bringing their babies to enjoy meals here. Also everyone that works here and so nice and polite even if they're not serving you this is my favorite place from now on and I will not shut about it haha adding a picture of my drink (which we are repeating ) and plate that I'll be bringing the leftover home

Can't wait to return and enjoy another tasty cocktail.

We were a group of 5 and that was pushing it so I'd definitely say no more than 5-6 people. We sat outside and the weather was beautiful. Just a heads up--this restaurant seems to be dog friendly. As a dog owner myself that is something I'd like to know but I understand the hesitation when you're sitting and eating next to a dog. However, doesn't take away from the cleanliness or the service of the restaurant. We ordered the Mezze trio as an appetizer. Everyone loved the hummus however my favorite was the red beet root. I also loved that they can refill the pita bread which went by quickly. Most of the table ordered the lamb skewers which I thought was a good. I'd give it an 8/10. I thought the flavors paired nicely and it was a different taste than the skewers I've ordered before. My brother ordered the salmon and he really enjoyed that. The service was nice however it did take at least 45 minutes for us to get our food which was a bummer. Definitely could see this being a nice, chill lunch or dinner spot.
