Ako Chicken Sandwiches
Felicia N.

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!!

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?!

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

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

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!

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!

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.

Aly R.

Bomb chicken sandwich! Multiple levels of spice to choose from. I will definitely be returning. So good!!!

Ok, I'm going down to 1 star. This place is baffling…read more They don't have any food. I did an online order today and a huge percentage of the menu was unavailable. This has happened on more than one occasion - when menu items would be unavailable - but never to the extent of today. The staff is no help either. I finally gave up on the app and called. There's a whole story there too but I'm tired of typing. SOOOO I hope someone management or corporate see this. If you don't have any food it pisses people off. I can't believe I keep going back but that tea...

When we arrived, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially considering the large group we brought. They took our orders quickly, the food came out at a nice pace, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-kept. I ordered the French Dip. It was not the worst I have had, but definitely not the best either. The baguette was softer than I expected, and I prefer sturdier bread since the au jus usually makes it soggy. The roast beef was also a little dry, although dipping it in the au jus helped with that. On the side, I chose the potato salad, which was very good. It was seasoned well, the potatoes were cooked perfectly, and it had a refreshing flavor that balanced out the creaminess of the mayo-based sauce and the heaviness of the sandwich. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but the food did not leave a lasting impression. It was good for a casual meal with a group, though I would not go out of my way to come back on my own.

Mistakes happen, and I understand that, but when I politely pointed it out, she simply stared at me without offering any solution. There were also quite a few gnats in the dining room. The food itself was very good, but the drinks were not. Today, we asked if we could sit on the patio. We waited about 15-20 minutes, and during that time, I observed four staff members walking out the front door toward the alley. One was vaping, another was making out with a man, and the others appeared to just be wandering around. Meanwhile, no one came out to assist us. I also have to mention the dress code. This is a family-oriented environment, and I personally don't understand why a $32 steak needs to be served with a side of butt cheeks. There is a difference between wearing something comfortable and appropriate for work and wearing something that seems unnecessarily revealing in a family dining setting. The food has been good both times, but unfortunately, the service and overall experience was no good.

She was awesome. Everyone loved their food. I had the Big Breakfast again and had the same banana pecan pancakes I ordered during my last visit but this time I got jalapeno bacon as my protein and hashbrowns instead of grits. The bacon was SO GOOD and was full of jalapeno flavor but minus the spice. I could've eaten a couple more slices of that goodness. It was crispy, a tad bit burnt but again it was so good. The hashbrowns were perfectly crispy. I also made sure to get plenty of strawberry butter this time and I slathered it all over my pancake and biscuit. The kiddos had child's plates that included two mini pancakes, eggs and a choice of protein. My cousin had a hash that looked incredible and she said it was very tasty. I'll have to try it out one day if I can ever break myself away from the pancakes. Just like last time the amibiance was warm, cozy, family friendly and Christian themed. This just might be my fave breakfast spot. I absolutely love it.
