Fodor's Expert Review CHIKO

CHIKO (a hybrid of Chinese and Korean, as is the food) Dupont Circle is the second outpost of this revered restaurant, featured in many of the city's "Best of" lists. Although the model is fast-casual, there's nothing fast or casual about the quality of food presented at the restaurant. The menu includes Korean classics like a bulgogi bowl, but it also features unique sandwiches such as the Sichuan hot fried chicken sandwich or a bulgogi hoagie. The duck fried rice is to die for, and Dumpling Happy Hour is another thing not to miss, between 3 and 6 pm. Adorned with neon art, the dining room is cozy yet funky.
