"If you're good at guessing random facts about ’90s sitcoms or world capitals, trivia nights at Ponko Chicken in Midtown Atlanta make a chill mid-week hangout. Most nights, you’ll find out-of-towners who are staying in Midtown and college students hanging out at the bar or on the small patio out front that faces the street. The large, breaded chicken tenders are just fine, but are upgraded by their tangy Ponko sauce. Don't forget to order a huge chocolate chip cookie—it’s big enough to save some for the next morning with coffee. Food Rundown Fries The fries are decent—crunchy but not too hard and covered with herbs that up the flavor. Ponko Chicken The tenders are made with crispy breading, though the seasoning could use a boost from their tangy sauce. Chocolate Chip Cookie Baked in-house, this cookie is as big as a salad plate. You'll likely leftovers for tomorrow's snack. A quick zap in the microwave softens it up, bringing out its mellow sweetness." - Jacinta Howard
"Panko-breaded fried chicken restaurant Ponko Chicken opens a second Atlanta location in midtown next month, What Now Atlanta reports. It replaces Mediterranean restaurant Mulavi at the Alta Midtown complex on West Peachtree Street. Ponko serves its fried chicken in the Japanese tonkatsu style, which sees meat pounded flat, breaded, and then deep fried. The restaurant’s menu includes fried chicken and tofu sandwiches, salads, fried chicken tender entrees, fries, and sticky rice. Ponko, located on Chamblee-Tucker Road, is owned by Reiko Clark and Maggie Antoine." - Beth McKibben
