" Pretty good overall. The dishes we tried were tasty, but some lacked uniqueness. The sesame custard was delightful, unlike anything I've had before. Service could have been a bit quicker, but the staff were friendly. I may have to return to try more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" The dining experience at CHIKO wasn't bad, but I expected more authenticity. Some dishes felt packaged for Western tastes, especially the orange-ish chicken. On a positive note, the service was excellent and the environment is lively. Only drawback was the high prices for portions served. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came for lunch and absolutely fell in love with the variety on the menu! The spicy chicken rice bowl was delectable, with generous spicy notes. Service was attentive, and I appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant. Definitely a winner in my book! " (*Curated Review*)

" Recently dined here and loved the unique fusion of flavors! With so few Korean-Chinese restaurants out there, it's refreshing to find one that nails both cuisines! Staff was friendly and meals were delivered timely. Next time I hope to try their spicy cauliflower, hearing great things! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious fusion at CHIKO! I loved the unique twist on classics—who knew Korean BBQ could meet Chinese stir-fry? I tried the bulgogi tacos and they were phenomenal. The only downside was the noisy environment, which made it a bit hard to have conversations. Yet, I'd still recommend it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely dining experience at CHIKO! The combination of Chinese and Korean cuisine is executed brilliantly. I especially loved the XO shrimp porridge that was rich in flavor and comforturing. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcomed. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love Asian food, CHIKO is a gem! The Korean fried chicken had the perfect crunch, and the flavor was spot on. We ordered several dishes to share, including veggie dumplings and the brisket rice cakes. Everything was rich in taste and reasonably priced. Plus, outdoor seating added to the charm! " (*Curated Review*)
