"Chinese-Korean counter Chiko first opened in Barracks Row in 2017, marking the first of several successful restaurants from chefs Scott Drewno and Danny Lee’s The Fried Rice Collective. Now, with five fast-casual Chikos in D.C., Virginia, Maryland, and California, its first full-service outpost is ready to roll. The 3,000-square-foot space in Sterling, opening in mid-November, features a full bar and patio. The new space will combine all of its location-specific menus, plus offer fun new menu items. The latest store will also continue to maintain the positive working environment the brand is known for." - Emily Venezky
