CHIKO

Super découverte après une mauvaise expérience la veille ! Découvert lors de la “Restaurant Week”, nous avons pris différents plats pour découvrir et n’avons pas été déçues ! Le service est parfait : ni trop présent, ni trop absent. Petit conseil : quand c’est écrit “spicy”, ça l’est vraiment ! ?

one of the few places in dc where you can get an incredible bang for your buck in terms of portion sizes. they are quite busy in the evenings and also with preparing takeout orders. most items have a lot of fried toppings, so it’s not the healthiest option, but everything is flavorful and texturally complex

I ordered spicy bulgogi. There were 5 pieces of beef and the rest were onions and rice cake. It’s a very sweet dish. For a $22 large plate, more than half of your food is rice cake. Don’t waste your money.

What a hidden gem in Dupont Circle! The service was what truly made the experience 10/10. The vibes were ~immaculate~. We were greeted with a smile as soon as we walked in. Our server (unfortunately didn’t catch his name, but had a beard, medium length hair, tan skin, and a kind smile) was very attentive and asked me if I wanted to keep the tab open so we could order more later if we wanted. Our water glasses were always filled and he even helped me charge my phone when my battery was dying. Also, he gave us 2 orders of veggie dumplings on the house since it wasn't busy... we will be coming back!! Now, to the food - came here with a friend on a Monday afternoon during their dumpling happy hour. Each order was only $5. We got the veggie, chicken, and beef dumplings. My friend and I liked the veggie dumplings so much that we ordered 2 extra plates. The sauce was SO TASTY and the medium sized dumplings were perfect for sharing. Here is a picture of our empty bowls so you know it was downright delicious!!

Amazing delicious happy hour is the time to go dumplings go so hard flavors are insane and brussel sprouts great too. View is great atmosphere good. !!!

$80 for two dishes and some pot stickers. My dish came with 2 shrimp and 2 small scallops. I’m still starving. And delivery did not jnclude forks and napkins, so we had to hunt for some at our hotel. Avoid at all costs unless you want to get ripped off.

A good Chinese Korean fusion restaurant with a cozy and casual atmosphere. If you like exploring the fusion flavors of Chinese and Korean food, they have quite a few specialty entrees. It can be busy during evening hours. By 6pm on a Friday evening, the tables were almost full.

This Chinese Korean fusion restaurant in Dupont offers a unique dining experience with dishes that blend two countries' flavors in a casual setting. Each dish is crafted to combine two distinct flavors well, but I found the flavors to be stronger than what I am used to in terms of taste. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with a young, energetic, and clean vibe. If you want to try something new and unique, this restaurant is worth visiting.
