This place has almost everything I want in a Chinese restaurant. Thoughtful, authentic and elevated food with very reasonable prices. Elegant atmosphere. Lovely servers who give great recommendations. The jellyfish ceviche was the most bold dish on the menu and it was incredible. The fried chicken (app) reminded me of home but the hot honey paid homage to the neighborhood Greenpoint. It was so juicy and might be my favorite fried chicken in NYC. The peppercorn icecream is fun and mapo tofu hits the spot. Only thing is I wish there's cocktails ☺️. Had an unexpectedly meaningful meal and I wish there are more places like Chiko!

I visited this place during my trip to New York. After days of eating nothing but burgers, pizza, and bagels, I was craving something more comforting — and I finally found it here. The mapo tofu and dan dan noodles hit the spot perfectly. The seasoning was just right, and they served a generous portion of rice. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. If I had discovered this place earlier, I would’ve come back several times during my trip. It’s truly a perfect restaurant for anyone who enjoys Korean-style flavors!

Chiko is probably the best restaurant in Greenpoint and one of the best Chinese food places in NYC. They even do this with such limited items on there menu. I feel like places like Birds of a feather have to worry if they introduce other dishes in to the mix because like the current dishes; they will probably have the perfect balance of flavor and spice.

This is an underrated little hidden gem. Presentation, taste & service were all very good. Nice clean decor. Recommend the chicken, noodle soup, spicy wonton & string beans. Will try more on next visit.

Wonderful little gem in heart of Greenpoint. Delicious small menu and great service. The green beans, mapu tofu & stir fried rice were fantastic.

Just had an amazing lunch at Chiko NYC. It is definitely the best MaPo Tofu I have ever tasted. It is so delicious and paired perfectly with the cucumber salad and freshly brewed bubble tea. I will definitely be coming back soon!

Service was good. Food was also good but the entrees do not include rice on the side and you need to pay extra. If you know anything about Asian food you would know that this is egregious, not to mention that certain items are far too salty to eat without rice. The owners have clearly traded their common sense for a few dollars. Decent dining but I cannot give a higher rating simply out of principle. Just because you cater to a Western palate doesn’t mean you can scam your diners.
There are inadequate words to describe how good Chiko is. I come here probably once a month, and the fact that there isn’t a line down the street every day blows my mind. This food is remarkably delicious.
Birds of a Feather, Cafe China, Szechuan Mountain House, Ma La Project, Antidote, etc.—respectfully step aside. Chiko takes Chinese food to a new level.
Everything is good, but the chicken steak is the star. Thank you for your amazing work, Chiko team!

The food was very meh. The cucumber salad wasn’t well-marinated, the chicken in the chicken chili noodle soup wasn’t flavorful…

Small menu, impeccable execution. Highly recommend if you enjoy any of the dishes they serve

Flavors that bring you to the present moment, and an ambiance that shapes that moment around a light outlook. The kitchen calls are a nice reminder that you’re in for quality fare.
