mild chicken sandwich --comes with black garlic sauce, cole slaw, and pickles
Stephanie H.

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!

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.

Huge AKO chicken with truffle fries & white. VERY GOOD.

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.

Nice truck!

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?!

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!

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.

Hot Chicken Sandwich
David S.

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!

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

Chicken sandwich and truffle fries

A picture says a million words, Nashville inspired hot chicken Filipino style. With truffle fries are to die for.

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

Hot Chicken Sandwich
Tram T.

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!

My perfectly fried and season Angry Bird with parmesan garlic fries.

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.

Combo- $15

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.

The Mac and cheese bites were decent. The onion rings were decent. The kool aid was very good. The one thing that I wasn't a fan of was the pricing for the wings. The wing price is specific to plain on the menu. You're charged every time you add any flavor. So I basically paid maybe 30.00 for 20 wings when I picked to have them in 3 different flavors. I don't know why this is this way. It's a little out of the way this location. I'm not sure I would go back because it's so many other places with similar food items and they don't charge extra for a wing flavor The restaurant was super clean and open spaced. Customer service was good.
