Meskipun tempat kurang luas, pelayanan cepat. Dijamin kenyang dengan harga yang pas. Bisa pilih pendamping sate, nasi atau lontong. Warung mudah terlihat dari pinggir jalan, untuk mobil tidak disarankan. Sate ukuran besar enak, bumbu kacang juga enak

Great Sate Ayam but the place itself is quite run down. Located in an alley so not easy to park if coming with car.

sate ayam Ponorogo. di solo ada beberapa sate Ponorogo, salah satunya Pak Ika yg di Ngemplak Bibis ini. sudah lumayan lama setau saya kalo 15 tahun mungkin lebih. untuk rasa enak, dagingnya gak terlalu besar dan gk terlalu kecil (pas). Ada sate kulit, daging dan jeroan. sambelnya juga mantab. untuk minuman biasa. tempat standart kaki lima, tpi cukup bersih dan nyaman. Pelayanan juga ramah. area parkir motor&mobil ada (walau dipinggir jalan) tapi gk masalah ada tukang parkir yg membantu. recomended.

Sate Ponorogo Pak Ika ini berada di dua lokasi, satu berada di pinggir jalan raya (timur masjid zayed, setelah traffic light kiri jalan pas di percabangan jalan). Satu lagi di utara traffic light, masuk gang setelah jembatan, posisi di kiri jalan. Yang membedakan sate ponorogo dengan sate madura adalah saus kacangnya. Sate ponorogo cenderung gurih, sate madura manis. Sate ponorogo umumnya ditemukan pagi-sore, jarang yang buka malam hari. Sate Pak Ika, sangat direkomendasikan untuk dicicipi dari sekian banyak sate Ponorogo di Solo. Jangan lupa, pesan es gula asem-nya. Segeer..
