    I've been wanting to try PONKO Chicken for a while, so I finally stopped in to see what it was about. First impression -- I really liked the bar area. It adds a nice vibe to the space and makes it feel like more than just a quick grab-and-go spot. The overall setup is clean, modern, and welcoming. The food was good. Nothing that blew me away, but definitely not bad either. Solid, enjoyable, and worth trying at least once. One of the employees stood out in the best way. He may have been the manager, but even if he wasn't, he absolutely had the presence and professionalism of one -- friendly, attentive, and clearly invested in making sure customers had a good experience. Overall, I left satisfied and glad I finally tried it. I wouldn't discourage anyone else from checking it out, though it's probably not a place I'll return to regularly. Still, a worthwhile stop if you've been curious.

    I ordered for curbside pickup at noon, prime lunch time. However, my meal was prepared within a reasonable amount of time and got when I arrived. Everything was made and seasoned well. The portion size was perfect and I appreciate they package the mushrooms separately. Overall, I give the Fried Mushroom Salad and service - A+ This is my second time visiting this location. Each time I selected curbside pickup. Each time I ended up having to go inside to get my food. I wonder if they no longer actually offer this service?

    This was a random lunch break. I wanted to try something new! The atmosphere was welcoming and the establishment was very clean. Clean bathrooms and setting areas. The service was quick! I just think this is an acquired taste. Maybe I ordered the wrong things idk. But it just wasn't my cup of tea. Nothing wrong with that at all. The food was good just didn't appeal to me the way I expected ! The Georgia peach was carbonated but it was strong for $8

    First ones in for lunch so it was a bit quiet. The staff seemed like they were still getting things ready for the lunch rush. Food is good, if a little odd. I feel like some of the items are a little off the wall and don't really go together. The chicken is really good though! Great, big portions.

    I don't even know where to begin with my review...this place was exceptional from the service, cleanliness, quantity of seating, bar options, and the FOOD. My only "negative" is that I got the spicy and didn't get much spice from it but I understand everyone's level of rating is different. Nonetheless the flavor was still phenomenal. Also they don't charge extra for their house made ranch which is one of the best out there in terms of consistency and flavor. Their fries were extremely well seasoned and flavorful and there's plenty of them. Overall I would highly recommend making a visit.

    This has to be one of my favorite chicken spots to go to. The chicken is always battered nicely and the crisp is very satisfying. The fries itself are always a hit except when it's a little soaked in the sauce, but that's okay! The staff are very nice and saying that they'll pick up the dishes for you and the environment is so nicely decorated. There's a cool bar. The restrooms are downstairs and hidden away overall the atmosphere is just very comforting with nice lighting.

There was indoor and outdoor seating and we chose to sit outside as it was a beautiful night. We had amazing service, great food, in a really cute neighborhood. We were especially impressed with the staff, and we had a member come out more than once to check with one of the people dining with us who had food allergies to ensure that how they were offering the food would be safe for her. It was also impressive that this restaurant was so busy on a Monday night. There were three of us dining, and we didn't even order any of the meats, and there was plenty of food for us. From the Mazzes, we had the Omani Shrimp, which had a great dipping sauce and the Beet Carpaccio. (they were very accommodating and put the whipped feta on the side). For the Spreads, we did the hummus with mushroom, shisito and egg, which was amazing and the labneh with pickled fennel on the top. It's served with taftoun bread which I would describe as a mix of a cracker and pita with sesame on top. We also enjoyed a raw vegetable dish with radish and the most delicious apple slices. Their heirloom tomato salad was beautifully presented and plentiful. They had a flight of condiments and we were able to sample zhoug, spicy tahina and torshi, which was a mixture of pickled vegetables. We ended with a pistachio lava cake with the most delicious cardamon gelato. Overall, we had an amazing meal in their beautiful outdoor space, and we thought the food was really reasonably priced. There's something for everyone on this menu whether you're vegetarian, vegan or a meat eater.

We were greeted by smiles and a welcoming team at the host table and I quickly appreciated the Mediterranean charm of the restaurant -- I felt like I could have been in Rick's Cafe Americain or the Blue Parrot! The dim lighting offered a great blend of intimacy and privacy, while still letting me see the people at my table and the food! And the food! My goodness, the food! We had a wonderful sampling of shared appetizers. The hummus and Dill labneh were solid and would have been deemed more than worthy by my Lebanese grandmother! Olives were a revelation, and were done in a preparation that included pomegranate which paired really well with the brine of the olives! The star of the first round, however, was the whole cauliflower, roasted and spiced. Without reservation, I can say it is the most I have ever enjoyed cauliflower - and I shall return for it again! I was already full by the time my falafel arrived for my main course. Falafel was exactly as it was supposed to be, and it was good. I ate it all, and then, a la Violet Beauregard upon leaving the chocolate factory, had to be rolled out of the restaurant! Our server and his food runners were all gems! The manager also came by to chat with us a couple of times. Great people at Delbar!

From the moment I called in, his customer service was top tier. Professional, warm, and intentional. He made sure my order was right, sent a quick payment link so things moved efficiently, and had everything ready by the time I arrived. That's how you run a business. When I pulled up, he greeted me with a smile, brought my food out, and confidently told me I was going to enjoy it and he was absolutely right. I originally planned to grab my food and go, but his energy made me slow down, sit, pray, and actually enjoy the moment. I asked for a lime Jarritos, and he recommended pineapple instead to pair with the jerk seasoned wild caught salmon sandwich. That recommendation was on point and really elevated the whole experience. That sandwich hits. Every bite pops with flavor across your entire palate. The salmon was perfectly cooked, juicy but not soggy. The kale had the right crunch. The onions tied everything together. And that homemade garlic butter on the salmon took it to another level. It's a creative spin on a traditional cheesesteak. I'm sure the beef options are great too, but if you want seafood, this is the move. I've had a Philly cheesesteak in Philly before, and honestly, I don't need to go back. When I'm in Atlanta, I'm coming here. Sammy, thank you for the hospitality and the intentionality behind what you do. You didn't just serve food, you created an experience. Thank you for praying with me. I will definitely be back.

The ambiance is lovely, the crowd was great, and the place had a really cool vibe. I visited after hearing so much hype online, and it absolutely lived up to it.

The standout for me was the "That Shit Slambing" -- a smashed lamb burger loaded with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, jalapeños, and Che Sauce on a soft brioche bun. Packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. I also tried the "Patti Labelle," a patty melt made with a Superior Angus beef patty topped with pastrami, Swiss, cheddar, mustard, and chipotle aioli on their Big Beautiful Bread, served with fries. The bread was incredibly fresh and honestly one of the best parts of the meal. The only thing I'd change is the fries -- they could have been a bit crispier. Other than that, everything was excellent. Overall, this is a must-visit spot for every burger lover in Atlanta, and it's definitely a place I'd keep coming back to.

The chicken is smokey and juicy! My kids really enjoyed the mie ayam bakso. The noodle is very thin, the chicken is chunky and so flavorful. The bakso is also homemade, not store bought. It's also come with fried wonton a.k.a pangsit goreng. We also try their empek2, batagor, and kwetiau goreng. It's so so in my opinion. I'm really disappointed with batagor. The tofu is stuff with so little fish paste and it's super dry. It's also come with pangsit goreng which have very little chewy meat on the inside. The peanut sauce is very sweet and over powered the whole dish. It's self service restaurant where you get your own drink and utensils including napkins. The spicy sauce and sweet soy sauce is also available on the side. They also provide the food containers for the leftover that we want to bring home on side. The owner is nice and friendly. We order the food in cashier/counter and they will bring the food to the table. They also have mini shop for Indonesian snacks or seasonings.

There was no sign in the front of the restaurant which made it hard to find, but it is there. The staff are friendly and willing to explain each item on the menu. We got the Martabak Telor, Mie Goreng Ayam/Baso/Udang, and Nasi Udik Komplit. The Martabak Telor was a flaky savory pastry that had beef, onion, scallion, and spices. It kind of tasted like an Indian samosa. Pretty solid. The Nasi Udik Komplit was a well balanced meal with carbohydrates, protein, and vegetables. The fried chicken was more tender than I thought it would be, which was a pleasant surprise. I kind of wish it was crispier, but maybe that is not the style for Indonesian cooking. The spicy egg and the perkedel (potato patty) tasted good too. I was not a fan of the coconut rice as I do not like coconut (I got this dish as I wanted to try what was part of it, specifically the perkedel). Overall, I thought the food was alright. With this being my second time having Indonesian food, I think my picky taste buds are still adapting to Indonesian cuisine and spices. It is clear that many people love this place and their food, so take my review with a grain of salt. I would give this spot a 3.5/5 stars if I could.
