The sandwich just seems to just be a frozen chicken tender with hot pepper seasoning on it. No bueno.

Update: they moved to Sugarland. I was disappointed with the news that they were no longer going to be in the area. I made a trip out to sugarland and had it for the last time. Everything was as good as I remember. I just wish they put seasoning on both sides of the chicken. read more

I had Ako's Chicken Sandwich combo which came with fries. It was super delicious. The crust on the chicken is so crispy and not heavy. I can enjoy the whole sandwich tasting the different flavors without it falling apart. I love this place!! read more

Ako’s - Ako Chicken Sandwiches - Food Trucks Near Me - Alvin, Texas

the actual chicken patty is huuuuuge and extends well beyond the bun on both sides, so it's well worth the $9!! My friend and I got the mild sandwich after reading other reviews, and we both completely agree that it ain't really mild! There's def a kick to it, but it was manageable and that's coming from two who don't tolerate spice really well. I love love the cole slaw and the black garlic sauce is so creamy! The bun is so fluffy and toasty. I couldn't finish the whole sandwich in one sitting, so I was very impressed that the bun didn't turn soggy after a few hours with the amount of sauce it contained! This truck is located in a plaza parking lot along with 3 other food trucks, so there's plenty of parking! We went today (Saturday) around 4 and there were only 2 people in front of us, so we ordered and got our food very quickly! The best part is that they give you a buzzer once you order so you can go back in your car and chill instead of standing outside melting in this Houston heat! Very kind employees, so I'd definitely recommend supporting this local business! read more

Ako’s - mild chicken sandwich --comes with black garlic sauce, cole slaw, and pickles - Food Trucks Near Me - Alvin, Texas

I've always been a fan of food trucks. And I've always been a fan of Filipino food. Combine the two and we have a good situation. Food trucks are pretty clutch in the era of the coronavirus. You can get your food quickly and leave. It's outside. And you likely won't be around a lot of people. Ako Chicken Sandwich is open Thursday-Sunday and I stopped by on a Thursday for dinner. They're located in the parking lot of a large shopping center along with a couple of other food trucks. Nashville hot chicken sandwiches have been all the rage lately and Ako is a Filipino twist on it. The menu is simple. You can either get a chicken sandwich or chicken tenders. The sandwich comes with home-made pickles, coleslaw, and black garlic sauce. The tenders are served with the same accompaniments. From there, you choose your spice level. That's it. They don't have any sides or any other options. I'm one for variety so I wish there was more on the menu but what they do, they do well. I went with a mild (spice level 2) chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich is large enough to be a meal in itself. The fried chicken breast sticks out on both sides of the fresh bun. While large in width, the chicken sandwich could have been a little thicker. I did love the blend of flavors though. The sauce is delicious. As is the fresh coleslaw and pickles. I know Mico's gets a lot of hype for its spicy chicken sandwich but I haven't tried it yet so I can't compare it to Ako. Even without the comparison, Ako is worthy in itself and I'll definitely be back! read more

Best hot chicken outside of Nashville! I found this sweet truck when I was late night yelp surfing while starving. I am always up for some place new so I made the trip cause I figured what the heck. Man, am I glad I took that gamble. I couldn't have ask for a better sandwich. I tried all the levels of spicy and they get pretty hot, so choose wisely. The chicken has a wonderful breading and there sauce is killer!!! You won't regret this little trip. read more

I had made my review while AKO was still pretty new and my 1st experience was wonderful. I've been a 'frequent flyer' so I decided to write some updates: 1. Their chicken patty has gotten better and it seems bigger (which I won't complain about!). I was told they switched to a better quality brand of chicken. 2. Food is less oily and tastier. 3.  Customer service has been consistent and wonderful. They've been hospitable and cater to our needs. 4. They just debuted their TRUFFLE FRIES and I tried it for the first time. It was heaven in my taste buds!! They perfected the combo with their AKO chicken. And the white sauce was sooo good, it goes very well with the fries. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back. 5. Their coleslaw and pickles = perfection. Made from scratch! I think that they will do very well with brick and mortar if they have plans.. Giving them my 5 stars again. Go and try their new truffle fries, its to die for. I promise it won't disappoint. read more

Ako’s - Huge AKO chicken with truffle fries & white. VERY GOOD. - Food Trucks Near Me - Alvin, Texas

Believe the hype. This place is that good! So good that my wife and I drove from The Woodlands on back to back weekends just for a chicken sandwich! The menu is simple: either chicken sandwich or chicken tenders. The sandwiches are huge and very filling. The sandwich got better and better with each bite. They offer different spice levels. I didn't think the hot was really hot, but the extra hot spice level is. The coleslaw is very good and very nice touch. They don't offer fries, but hopefully consider adding to menu in the future. If you don't live close by, I would suggest eating the sandwich in your car right away, but it can get a bit messy, so have lots of napkins on hand. The owner is really cool and the service is quick and great. Everything on the menu is halal. Def one of the best halal chicken sandwiches in Houston. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for so long and im so glad i finally did! they relocated and this time its so much closer to my side of town;; i've tried so many chicken sandwich joints but this one is probably one of my faves! the food didnt feel heavy and it was so cheap too! The service was also amazing i already cant wait to come back. Highly recommend! read more

Okay I have to say first of all 5 stars for customer service! They posted on IG that they sold out of sandwiches and I was so sad because the hubby and I were already on our way there and this place is far from where we live, so I wrote on their post and they immediately DM'd me and offered the last few sandwiches to us. So nice! What we ordered: I got the Mild sandwich which was a 4.5/5! I'm knocking down half a point because like others mentioned, this is definitely not Mild! Lol...I was legit a fire breathing dragon while eating this sandwich. I'd really like to request for them to bring the heat level down a notch so us weaklings could enjoy the sandwich more haha. I had to take so many breaks man...I was sad lol. The hubby got the Hot level sandwich which was delicious too! Tbh it tasted like the same spice level as Mild...his was just a tad spicier! He wasn't sweating like I was so it wasn't too spicy for him hahaha. I wish they had some fries to go with it! Maybe they can offer that in the near future. I'll definitely be back, but I'm praying that Mild becomes a little more tolerable haha. A little tip on reheating (since Covid 19 is making most of us go back home and reheat the food like it's suggested in this time) put your sandwiches in an oven at 200 degrees for a few minutes. Perfection! Or you could always microwave it but who likes a soggy sandwich?! read more

Alright come thru!!! Doing this pandemic I really wanted to grab a good chicken sandwich and this popped up since I was in the neighborhood. I'm glad I stopped by. They only sale sandwiches and chicken tenders. They were out of the chicken tenders but I understand why. The sandwich was moist and the Cole slaw was a good compliment to the sandwich. I would definitely recommend to go and try. read more

This was one of the biggest and the best chicken sandwiches I've had. Like for real, I don't want to take any business away from these guys, but my wife and I had to split one sandwich because it was enormous (also we had been to two breweries, so we already had a good amount of beer in us). We had the "hot", but they do go spicier than that with their sandwiches. Honestly, I'm kind of a baby about spicy-ness, but the hot sandwich was exactly as much as I could handle comfortably. It was amazing. Plus, I LOVE pickles on a chicken sandwich, and I could be wrong, but it seemed like most, if not all the veggies on the sandwich were also pickled as well. Regarding COVID, everyone was wearing a mask, and they had hand sanitizer at the window. Honestly, with a food truck, that's about all you can do, and it seemed perfectly safe and clean. Also, the guy working the window was super nice! I promise it's not all the beer talking, this chicken sandwich hit the spot and was exactly what I wanted. Can't wait to hit them up again! read more

Ok, first: Location was so easy to find and very accessible. Wait Time: Acceptable The chicken: Tasty, Crunchy and Juicy The sauce: ooh the sauce Perfecto! The coleslaw: Fantastic! Its the best! from the little add ons you never see on a coleslaw followed by a mixture of complimenting flavors. The spice level: Ok, this one is eraonal preference, i like spicy foods but not the burning hot kind of thing, and their mild is my kinda spice, the hot spice which is the middle spice is tolerable but too much for my liking. The Overall Sandwich: Bomb! hard to beat Is the price Appropriate?: Definitely, given its size and the taste, its like a gourmet quality. Will I come back: Oh yes! I cant wait read more

Ako’s - Chicken sandwich and truffle fries - Food Trucks Near Me - Alvin, Texas

Got a chance to try @ako.chicken this past weekend . The 1st Filipino Halal Chicken Sandwich on Telephone road. I was looking forward to a hearty chicken breast for a sandwich but when they showed me the size of the chicken tenders . Trust me when I tell you , you will be full from just one sandwich. I love the options that they give for hotness. ( No heat , Mild, Hot, Extra Hot and It Burns).I tried the regular hot this time , not to over due it but next time I will definitely crank up the heat. Serving sliders, truffle fries and tenders with select sauces to enjoy with. You definitely need to get over to @ako.chicken and try it out for yourself. Send me pics and make sure to tell them Timmy sent you! @Timmyinthecity on Instagram read more

It's a decent chicken sandwich, but it's not something that blew me away. Nothing about it really made it pop for me. No complaints about portion size, the chicken is huge. It stuck out on both sides of my sandwich. I recommend splitting one. Got the 3/5 (Hot) spicy level. There isn't really that much of a kick. The spice also doesn't linger either. So if you're looking for something spicy, you can definitely go up a level or 2. Super quick service. Called their number and they had my order ready within 10 minutes. No complaints about service. Really friendly and quick! read more

Awesome chicken sandwiches at Ako Chicken on Hwy 6 & McCormick St. I called ahead because I had an order for 8 people. They told me it would be 15 minutes. I arrived 10 minutes later and waited for 5 minutes. The food was ready exactly when they said it would be. We tried the Fine Bird, the Crazy Bird, the Angry Bird and the Fire Bird. Everyone loved their sandwiches. Will definitely return. read more

I have a craving for one of these chicken sandwiches at least once a week. I'm so sad they moved out to Sugar Land because it's so far from my house now, but my mom and I were near the area and wanted to stop by so bad! The chicken sandwiches got smaller with there being one strip of chicken instead of two, but that doesn't make it any less delicious than it was. The chicken is fried perfectly, and the combination of the other components of the sandwich make it absolute heaven. The black garlic aioli accompanied with the fries were delicious as well. I'm drooling writing this review right now. read more

They're not afraid of spices! This was my first try of AKO, and I have to say, it's legit. One of the best chicken sandwiches hands down, accept no substitutes! The chicken: wonderfully seasoned batter and perfectly fried, maintaining the perfect moisture, somehow infused with magic... science left the building. The fries: simply yes, anyone that loves fat sticks will enjoy them to the last crumb. The maintenance: I picked up the food and had about a 20 minute drive home. I feared everything would become soggy and lose its initial freshness, but to our surprise everything held together very well, even the fries. Definitely a win here, we will be back 1000% read more

DON'T GET THE MEAL. $5 extra for a small amount of fries & drink. They should give a box of fries if they're charging $5 extra for a meal. The truffle fries tasted really good with ample seasoning, but I just wish they gave a box of it for the price we paid. (Saw a picture with a box of fries. Maybe that's 2 orders of fries?) The chicken sandwich breading is like the ones that they use for fried catfish, so I wasn't a big fan. It made the sandwich dry. (Some Yelp pictures aren't accurate) The flavor of the sandwich was not Nashville style hot chicken, but it was still good. We got the Hot level of spice which was more of a medium. read more

Sooooo good! I am so happy that this is only 10 min away from me. It definitely hits the spot for hot chicken sandwich cravings. I'm not a big coleslaw person, but the coleslaw on this sandwich was so tasty! The breading on the chicken had a thick fish batter consistency that doesn't fall apart when you bite into it. I got the angry bird and it was the perfect amount of spice for me. If you can't handle hot food, I would suggest getting crazy level and under for sure. read more

Calling out all the chicken sandwich and spicy food people out there!!!!! I discovered the best chicken sandwich. The chicken is so juicy and spicy. I love how spicy it was. The sandwich comes with coleslaw, and pickles. Personally, I don't like coleslaw but their coleslaw is delicious. I love that they put bits of celery! Super crunchy and different? It's a family owned food truck, and these people are SUPER NICE! It's located in a parking lot and it's pretty easy to find! Check them out!!! You won't regret it. read more

Absolutely delicious! Me and my husband went for dinner and were completely impressed with the quality and size of their Chicken sandwich! Guy was super nice and allowed us to taste the level of heat before we purchased it. The Hot was spicy but enjoyable, keep in mind they only serve their chicken sandwich and tenders with slaw, no fries. They do have canned beverages and water. I wish they moved closer in town! This is definitely a hidden gem with big potential!! All Chicken is HALAL, added bonus! Will definitely be back. read more

Simply the best Nashville chicken sandwich in SE Houston!!! We ordered one mild chicken sandwich, one medium hot chicken sandwich and an order of chicken tenders. The sandwiches were HUMONGOUS!! They were packed with flavors with perfect amount of spice!! We loved the special sauce that came with it as well as the coleslaw and pickles. Everything blended so well and so tasty! Mild had a great kick for me as I cannot eat too spicy food. My husband loved his medium heat sandwich. Both my husband and I were too full to eat the tenders. However, we were able to make 2 additional chicken sandwiches for lunch the next day! Tenders just tasted as good as day 1. We are for sure will be returning for more! Highly recommend! read more

Before they took a break, I absolutely LOVED their chicken sandwich!! My boyfriend and I went there at least twice a month and it was one of the best chicken sandwich (if not the absolute best) ever. They recently came back and their new location is now in Sugarland (which we were SO excited about because it was much closer to where we live). The sandwich was bland, the sauce is watered down, chicken wasn't that great either and the portions are smaller. Their sandwich is now small and has only 1 tender in it. The price is a bit cheaper but I rather of paid the old price for the bigger better sandwich :( They had mentioned that they had to cut some costs down (which I totally get especially in this economy) but it completely changed their sandwiches. read more

Went here the first week they were open, the owners were super nice, greeted me nicely and gave me a coke on the house. I had a sign a waiver for the xtra hot chicken sandwich but if u can handle the heat it's definitely worth getting. The heat definitely kicks in seconds after the first bite. I came back 2 days after & ordered the same thing lol. The owners are dope genuine people and make u feel welcomed. Plus the sandwich is insanely huge/delicious, u will have a full stomach after..

Chicken sandwich is HUGE! Definitely shareable. Found this little gem while browsing a through some yelp recommendations. Clean looking food truck, everyone had on mask inside and they had hand sanitizer outside of the truck. Very simple menu, not much to choose from which is Koo! We ordered the hot chicken sandwich, hot chicken strips and xtra hot chicken strips. The chicken sandwich was very juicy like every bite I was expecting the heat from the "hot" to be hotter but it was more like a mild kick to me‍. I didn't care too much for the coleslaw on the sandwich, but the black garlic sauce was yummy . The xtra hot chicken strips were . The chicken strips have a more of dry rub seasoning. Overall nice little find, we will go again to try the xrtra hot ! read more

we picked this up to try since it's new and at a convenient spot! I got the chicken tenders with mild spice, while my bf got the spiciest (fire bird) level. I personally don't do well with spice, and i do think the mild level is spicier than normal mild levels. I gave this place 3 stars because the spice is like a powdery type of spice, if that makes sense and it's just a personal preference, but i don't like the powdery texture. My bf got the spiciest spice level and he said that it tasted more like a sriracha level, so again, it is all preference. My friends got no spice and the middle level (crazy fire) and they liked it and gave this place a 4/5, although for the price they would've liked a side or something (most food trucks prices are a little high anyways) I would definitely come back and try the no spice level! I would recommend you to trying it out if you're in the area! I forgot to take pics before eating! But the tenders come in 4s, i took a closer pic of the tender so u can see the powdery spice. read more
