CHIKO

This Asian fusion place has almost a fast casual vibe. Strong favours from South and East Asian dishes are hard to miss, and the beautiful presentation in steel bowls is delightful. My favorite is the cumin Lamb noodles. They have a separate menu for vegetarian and vegan options. The portion size is huge. The seating area is not too big, so it might get crowded sometimes.

This place is so incredible!! The food was out of this world, incredibly well spiced, and very fast. While most DC restaurants charge hefty prices for small plates, this place charges hefty prices for LARGE ones! Salmon? Incredible! Orangish chicken? Amazing!

Busy as can be, but the place runs well. You wait in line, order, and then sit and your food comes to your numbered table when it is ready. Overall the food was pretty darn good with a few misses. It all comes hot and looks scrumptious. The crispy spring rolls had an amazing crunch and elongated look, but the inside was less than expected, if fact I'd go as far as to say they were bland. The green beans were fresh and well seasoned. The fried chicken was messy sweet and delicious. I would go back, but be a tad choosy.

I stopped here for lunch. Although it has an Asian flare I wouldn't classify it as Korean. I had the salad and some wings. The wings were good but if ur looking for the traditional Korean fried chicken don't get the dry version.

The Chef's Table was an awesome experience. From the opening appetizers to the desert everything on the menu was flavorful and prepared perfectly. Almost everything on the menu was on the Chef's Table experience so if you want great take out or a night out with friends, check out CHIKO!
