North of DuPont Circle has stepped up the lunch and late night games by adding DC favorite CHIKO. CHIKO (Chinese + Korean) opened their second outpost in February after the success of their Eastern Market location. First came counter service, and on March 18 their lunch menu debuted.
Sneak on over for a break from the build-a-bowl/salad places for lunch starting at 11 AM every day.
You’ll find dinner favorites like potstickers, various pickled munchies, and wings but also a variety of rice bowls and sandwiches. The location offers pick up, delivery, and catering all day while also providing late night food until 10 PM Sunday-Thursday and 11 PM Friday-Saturday.

Chilled marinated littleneck clam
Potato and egg salad
Counter seats at the DuPont location are a steal at $50/person allowing you to try almost everything on the menu + whatever special items the kitchen has in store. Cans of unfiltered sake, bottles of green tea, and local beers all make an appearance as well.
