A new Chinese and Korean spot has made its debut in the neighborhood. The new addition to Dupont Circle, called CHIKO, is located at 2029 P St. NW.
The original CHIKO, which opened on Barrack's Row in 2017, was a 2018 James Beard Award Foundation semi-finalist for Best New Restaurant. This new outlet brings many of the same upscale-yet-casual dishes and adds a lunch menu to serve a downtown office crowd.
Look for openers like pork and kimchi potstickers, and wok-blistered green beans. Mains include chicken and egg fried rice with bacon and a cumin lamb stir fry.
Serious fans may want to try the kitchen counter option, where parties of two or four can eat their way through the menu while watching the kitchen in operation from up close.
The new addition has already attracted fans thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of five reviews on Yelp.
Jeff R., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on February 18, wrote, "The food had amazing fresh and bold flavors. It's a very small, cozy and relaxed space."
Yelper Winnie N. added, “Even though this place is fast-casual and doesn't scream fancy, the food quality and more unique approach to typical recipes makes them feel like food made by a nice restaurant.”
Head on over to check it out: Chiko is open from 5 p.m.–10 p.m. on Sunday-Thursday and 5 p.m.–11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
