Without a dedicated restaurant, I'm glad they are delivering a traditional menu inspired by noodle street stalls and flavors you would find in Chengdu. The noodles in the soup may not be from their hand-pulled series, but they were still perfectly cooked and bouncy while being in the hot broth. It was also a good length, so chili oil and broth shouldn't splatter a lot. It is pretty important to consider this when you may have portable eats and there isn't a guaranteed sit-down area in Union Market. The broth was aromatic with spices (of course pepper corn, but a really distinct sweet anise) mixed together with stewed with unctuous cuts of beef. I am happy to see with the combination of lean cuts and tendon. When those things break down, it thickens the broth with collagen which makes it very hardy. Admittedly, this is one of the more expensive side of offerings within Union Market, but in this case, I see why. They are just offering a more complete meal that likely takes hours of prep. If you're looking for something that doesn't feel like a quick hand held snack, this is a place where you can come to Union Market and walk out full. There was a generous portion of bokchoy, and I especially liked the sprinkles of cubed pickled vegetables. It was a nice bite in between the richness of the broth. Also noting that although Sichuan food has existed for quite some time in the U.S., folks are still unfamiliar with the cuisine. Their menu does an exemplary job at explaining the ingredients and flavors you would expect, so its very accessible for new eaters. Its a good entry point to expanding your palette. I read that their restaurant began in 2019, and its very honorable to see that they stuck to their roots and survived through the pandemic. Its good to see a restaurant with this variety of regionally specific ingredients retain its popularity within this new food scene. I would look forward to trying more things on their menu. I'm pretty sure it would be of the same quality from this one I tried, good job!

Beware of the heat...the dish is spicy and I wish I had asked to see if I could tone that down a bit. Admittedly I don't tolerate a lot of heat well, but if you like the heat, then this dish is for you. Also recommend paying extra for bok choy or other vegetables.

What a fantastic place to grab some delicious food and drinks!…read more Ambiance: it's like having dinner in someone's comfy kitchen. No reservations, just stop on by, grab a seat, and order your food at the counter. Service: service was pretty fast once our food was ordered. Staff were pretty good and they moved quickly to accommodate all guests. Drinks: they have a pretty solid list of local beers and ciders along with wines. Food: I ordered the Jjajangmyeon which was scrumptious! The roasted black bean sauce added some sweetness to the savory flavor oozing out of the shrimp and scallops. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the cucumber on top helped cooled the dish. I also ordered a side of cabbage kimchi which was the perfect addition to my meal. My boyfriend ordered and loved the Spicy bulgogi stir fry and I must say, it was delicious, even from the small bite that I had. Overall, this was a delectable meal and I'm looking forward to returning.

My go-to order is the soy-marinated brisket, smashed salmon, duck fried rice, and their incredible homemade kimchi. On my recent visit to the restaurant, I decided to branch out and try a few new things. The chicken wings were outstanding. Perfectly crispy with a delicious seasoning that had me reaching for another one immediately. I also tried the house fried rice for the first time, and it was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The restaurant itself has a very relax atmosphere, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn they offer a happy hour with some great deals. I didn't get a chance to take advantage of it this visit, but it's definitely given me another reason to come back soon. Whether you're ordering delivery or dining in, Chiko continues to impress. Highly recommend!

Hands down one of my favorite places to grab lunch or dinner when I'm in DC.

The restaurant I very clean and the decorations are really pretty. We ordered soup dumplings and noodles and our food was ready really fast. I ordered the veg spicy and sour noodles and they come with an egg and crispy pieces of corn and a lot of boi hot which I love. The flavor was spicy with a hint of lime for the sour flavor. My husband ordered the beef noodle soup and he said it tasted amazing. Our chicken soup dumplings were full of flavor and a lot of broth inside. This place is really similar to Yu noodles which is one of my favorite places so if I'm ever in the area again I would go to this place for soup dumplings. Our server was really sweet as well.

Delicious Curry...Just Wish There Was More of It!…read more After a weekend away, I wanted something good, warm, and comforting for dinner, so Thai food immediately came to mind. I've tried quite a few Thai spots around DC, but this was my first time ordering from TipThai. I went with the red curry with chicken, and it was REALLY delicious! The curry was flavorful, rich, and exactly the comfort meal I was looking for. I also love that they let you choose your spice level -- mild, medium, hot, or extra hot. I ordered mine hot, and it was perfect! Definitely had some heat, but not so much that it overpowered the flavor of the curry. My only real complaint was the portion size. The price was comparable to other Thai restaurants in the area, but the amount of food definitely wasn't. The portion was noticeably smaller than pretty much every other red curry I've ordered locally, which was disappointing considering the price. That said, the curry itself tasted so good that I'm definitely interested in trying some of their other menu items. I just worry that the smaller portions may be consistent across the menu. Overall, TipThai nailed the flavor and spice level -- I just need them to be a little more generous with the portions!
