Casual Chinese-Korean eatery with comfort food like dumplings
"I always overorder here; shrimp lo mein had an unexpected zesty sweetness, wok‑blistered green beans are a standout, spicy bulgogi stir-fry’s rice cakes are toothsome, and chile cucumber banchan is a must in warm months." - Eater Staff
"Find a four-course Valentine’s Day menu for two, crafted with traditional Lunar New Year ingredients. Offered at $75, snack on a mala shrimp cocktail before moving on to garlic scallop dumpling with a ginger scallion Sauce. The main is a plate of longevity noodles and braised short rib and for dessert — orange and chocolate pot de creme, candied mandarins and whipped cream." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Chefs Danny Lee and Scott Drewno’s beloved Chinese-Korean counter honors the annual holiday with the return of its After Dark Series at its original Capitol Hill locale on Friday, February 9." - Tierney Plumb
"Known for its “orange-ish” chicken and other popular Chinese–Korean dishes, Chiko’s Shirlington cafe (the chain’s fifth location and first in Virginia) is serving menu highlights like char siu fried rice with Chinese roast pork and a makrut lime custard with blueberry compote, fresh blueberries, and crunchy, candied sesame crackers." - Stephanie Carter
"The chain’s first Virginia location is set to open at the Village at Shirlington in Arlington (4040 Campbell Avenue, Arlington) on November 10; the Chinese–Korean cafe serves fried rice, dumplings, “orange-ish” chicken, soy-glazed brisket, and more, will serve dinner daily starting at 5 p.m., and plans to add lunch and brunch later this winter — it’s the fifth Chiko to open since 2017." - Stephanie Carter
