CHIKO

"Chinese and Korean cuisine fill up the menu at one of D.C.’s favorite counter-service spots, with Chiko locations in Capitol Hill, Dupont Circle, and Bethesda. Each one is open on Mondays, but opening times vary by location. One must-order dish is the soy-glazed brisket with a poached egg. It’s been on the menu since day one." - Missy Frederick, Tim Ebner

"Can’t decide between Chinese or Korean food? Don’t have to at CHIKO. The bulgogi tots are always a hit starter, followed by the duck fried rice or orange-ish rice. Between 3 and 6 p.m. daily at the Dupont and Bethesda locations, enjoy $5 dumplings and $8 soju smashes. The same deal is valid Monday and Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Wednesday through Sunday from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m. at the Shirlington spot." - Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi, Kalina Newman

"BOO! Spooky season has arrived at Chiko with the seasonal Ch-EYE-ko Sour! cocktail, a play on a New York Sour featuring mezcal, a sangria float, and a lychee-and-cherry “eyeball” garnish." - Kalina Newman

"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." - Tierney Plumb
