CHIKO To Open 1st NoVA Location In Village At Shirlington In 2021

ARLINGTON, VA — Chefs Danny Lee and Scott Drewno are bringing their popular CHIKO restaurant, which specializes in blending modern cooking with traditional Chinese and Korean flavors, to Federal Realty Investment Trust’s Village at Shirlington, according to a release. This is the pair's fifth CHIKO location in the D.C. area and the first in Northern Virginia

“We are excited to bring CHIKO to this amazing community. Danny and I believe that Shirlington’s vibrant restaurant scene is a perfect spot as our first foray into Virginia," Drewno said, in a release. "We look forward to cooking for the greater Arlington community in the fall of 2021."

The 1,500-square-foot restaurant, which will be located at 4040 Campbell Ave., will offer fast-paced carry-out and dining space for 30 seated guests indoors. CHIKO Shirlington's food will also be available for all delivery services.

CHIKO Shirlington's menu will include an exclusive, Shirlington-specific fried rice, a new dessert, and a few surprise dishes that will differ from those offered at the Capitol Hill, Dupont, and Bethesda locations. But CHIKO's signature dishes will be available at the new location as well, including Orang-ish Chicken, Cumin Lamb Stir Fry, Double-Fried Chicken Wings, and Soy Glazed Brisket. Diners can expect entrees to be priced between $9 and $18.

“CHIKO’s has an incredible reputation and loyal following and is a fabulous addition to the Village,” said Stuart Biel, senior vice president of Federal Realty, in a release.“This will be the second CHIKO location in our DC-metro portfolio and we expect it will have the same incredible success as CHIKO Bethesda.”
