Our Take
The Spot
CHIKO is a Chinese-Korean restaurant from The Fried Rice Collective, founded by chefs Danny Lee and Scott Drewno. The menu pairs modern technique with traditional flavors from both cuisines: Korean fried chicken, japchae noodles, dumplings, and wok-fired vegetables share the table. Regulars point to the string beans and daikon radish as dishes worth returning for.

The kitchen counter is a defined part of the experience, putting diners closer to the cooking than a standard table would. Portions run generous, and service and atmosphere draw consistent praise alongside the food.

CHIKO was named a James Beard Foundation Best New Restaurant semifinalist in 2018.
