Goosebumps while eating!!!! Such attention to detail in each ingredient added. Fresh, made to order bao buns that were the best ive had!! The lamb- an experience. Jonah eagerly helped us with choosing our order the second we got half through the door. The staff are all passionate, vibrant and lovely to interact with. A beautiful patio for a must stop and try!

Got a late lunch at Chiko and it was stellar! We ordered the orange chicken, the Korean fried chicken, and the bulgogi rice cakes. The orange chicken was so flavorful and the meat was so tender—my favorite dish by far. It really feels like Asian comfort food, with great portion sizes for the price The workers were also all so great!! The chefs came out personally with the dishes and explained them to us, such a great way to help us fully enjoy our experience. And they offered us a dessert on the house which truly took our lunch here to the next level We came here for the food but would come again next time for both the food AND the great service :’)

My photos are not the best to explain how DEEEEEELICIOUS the food are. I mean hands down the flavor just bursts in your mouth. We ordered: Brussels sprouts - hands down the best Brussels sprouts I have ever had🤩 Kimchi potstickers with apple kimchi - WOOOO MAMA! def not your mama’s kimchi. So good! You can’t go wrong. Orange-ish chicken- Holy moly! I can’t go back having "normal" orange chicken ever again. Ask for their house hot sauce. Be careful… the spice lingers for a while. It’s a different kind of spice. The spice slowly grows. So good! Pork fried rice- they are very generous with the pork. Tender and so flavorful. I love it! Lastly… spicy mango smash drink (alcohol). Delish!!!! You can’t go wrong.

Chiko has delicious, well-prepared food. We had 8 dishes and enjoyed all of them very much, especially the vegetable dumplings and soup..

Asian fusion comfort food at its best! Incredible food and very friendly service. Our server was super nice and unleashed an avalanche of insanely delicious orange chicken onto our plate. The chicken was juicy with a tempura-like breading that was light and crispy. Mental portion size! The shrimp lo mein was equally amazing with that smokey wok flavor and melt-in your-mouth eggplant. So dang good! 100% will be back to explore the menu!

Really enjoyed the gluten-free chicken wings. Hot, crispy, and delicious, though I would prefer slightly less breading. The Brussels sprouts were another standout. The salmon dish was packed with umami and interesting textures and was very enjoyable. The cucumber and avocado salad was a bit messy and not something I would order again. Overall, the food was delicious, but the small, not-so-clean space makes it better suited for takeout.

Wow, wow, wow! I’m so happy I have taste buds. This food is incredible. Each dish had balanced textures as well as full bodied flavors. It was fun to sit at the bar and watch them prepare the food. Food came quickly and servers were happy to be there and help. The food is rich. I’ve had a lot of Brussels sprouts in my life but I felt like these were totally new and unlike anything I had ever had. They are soft in the middle and super crunchy on the outside, the aioli is divine, and crunchy onions on top are the perfect highlight. The veggie dumplings came with an Earthy sauce I have never experienced. I had to get a second order it was so good. Super simple space, the joy is in the food.
