My wife and I enjoyed our dinner at Chiko. We took part in the kitchen counter experience. It was soooo much food. Well worth the $. We had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. My favorites were the beef & bone marrow fried rice, the double fried chicken wings, and all the offerings in the 3rd course (avocado salad, pork & kimchi potstickers, chicken spring roll, and garlic shrimp dumplings). The sauces on everything was so good that I could've drizzled the sauce on rice and been happy. We thought we were sickly full, but there's always room for dessert. The coconut custard we had was just right. Overall a great dinner. Our server Jahlil was awesome, too!

Food was amazing. Brought a friend who was just getting back from Korea and he thought everything was on par or better (turmeric daikon, fried chicken, dumplings, lamb and noodles) than he had in Seoul.

Five stars all the way. The food at Chiko is unique and amazing every single time. My faves: Orange-ish Chicken, Half-a-Cado Salad and Brussels Sprouts. One of my favorite restaurants in DC, for sure.

Nice food, but little bit spicy/salty. Price is good.

Needed to grab some food. Chicko was recommended to us so in the rain we went. Vibe inside was meh, but the tables were having lively discussions. Menu is smaller BUT a variety that is impressive ! We started with blistered green beans and a cold peanut noodles. no expectations ; first bites were WOWWWW green beans perfectly blistered and the sauce just meshed with flavor. The peanut noodles were light with cold cucumber slivers but the star was the peanut sauce. We were so enthusiastic to try our entrees. Special of stir fry beef with 3 peppers , glass noodles with an array of perfectly cooked veggies and the mandarin orange chicken. We all agreed that the flavor infusions were an unexpected DELIGHT!! Food was hot in temp , place was very clean and a huge take out business !! Strongly suggest trying this little gem. Take out or dine in. Run don’t walk and say oh I’ve been meaning to ……….GO! Fans from Houston. WE WILL BE BACK

Let me just start off by saying: this is one of the BEST meals I have ever eaten in DC by far without any question. Everything was perfect. The chicken wings, shrimp dumplings, green beans, cucumber and kimichi were all delicious. And to top it all off, Jalil was so angelic. He was so attentive and sweet which made my first time is worth it that I will be back this week! Thank you Jalil and the friendly staff cooking (I sat at the highstools) cooks were so sweet.

The Experience was Wonderful!!! Chef Jon Kung's recipes interpreted by Chiko's Chefs were amazing!! The front of house staff were fantastic as well. I now have a new restaurant on my go to list. Thank you!

The food is good but on the pricier side for fast casual. We really enjoyed the bulgogi rice cakes, dumplings and turmeric daikon. Planning to try the dry rub wings next time!
Interesting experience eating at the Chef's Counter. The flavors of all food were outstanding and delicious. Server explained and described all foods in great detail. Restaurant is very small; designed more for take-away dining, not a true dining-in environment. Disappointed in the lack of ambience but not in the food. Food this good should be presented in a much better environment.

Really great food and a great overall experience at Chiko. I definitely recommend checking out the kitchen counter experience - it's well worth it!
Chiko is a cozy space with a few tables up front and a counter that gives you a great view of the kitchen.
We stopped by for dinner and did the kitchen counter experience, which is a muli-course tasting menu. It's a great way to sample a variety of dishes while watching the chefs work just a few feet away in the open kitchen. We were lucky this evening - it was just me and my friend at the countertop, so we basically had a private experience to ourselves with all the attention and great service!
The stand out item for me were the pork & kimchi potstickers. I absolutely loved them and will definitely be coming back for more. I also loved the confit duck fried rice, orange-ish chicken and garlic shrimp dumplings. All were tasty and the overall meal was super filling - we ended up taking some food home because we were so full.
Also kudos to the chef, who was amazing and provided impeccable service. He personally introduce each dish with great detail and made sure we had a great overall experience.
Overall Chiko provided great food and a great kitchen counter experience. I will definitely be returning - especially for those tasty pork & kimchi potstickers.
