Chinese-Korean fusion with bulgogi, dumplings, and wings.
"The popular Chinese Korean counter with locations in Capitol Hill, Dupont Circle, Bethesda, and Shirlington comes from chefs Danny Lee and Scott Drewno. Dishes like spicy bulgogi stir-fry, double-fried chicken wings, and soy-glazed brisket over rice all travel well. Order online for pickup or delivery here. Its first full-service locale in Ashburn debuted this year." - Tierney Plumb
"Part of Danny Lee's group of restaurants and included in a multi-concept nomination that placed its chef-owner among finalists for Outstanding Restaurateur." - Missy Frederick
"We’re obsessed with what Chiko calls their “orange-ish chicken” (actually, the whole city is), which comes topped with crispy garlic and candied mandarins. The tiny Chinese-Korean spot on Barracks Row (they also have a Dupont location) is our go-to for weeknight ordering, but their dishes are so flavorful and complex that it doubles as a move for impressing out-of-town houseguests. Chiko has counter seating inside, as well as a few tables with backless chairs, but we typically opt for ordering out." - madeline weinfield
"This combined effort from lauded chefs Scott Drewno and Danny Lee brought fast-casual Chinese and Korean dishes to new heights in D.C. Chiko also maintains locations in Capitol Hill, Dupont Circle, Shirlington, and a full-service outpost in Ashburn opening in February, as well as concessions in Capital One Arena. All offer online ordering for pickup or delivery. Capitol Hill is also home to its new daytime cafe called I Egg You." - Tierney Plumb
"Double-fried dry spiced chicken wings are on the menu every day at Chiko, the popular Chinese-Korean counter born on Capitol Hill has other locations in Dupont Circle, Shirlington, and another Virginia one on the way to Sterling next month. Order online for pickup or delivery here." - Missy Frederick
