Lunar New Year 2025

Year of the Snake

Join us at CHIKO from January 29th thru February 3rd for an unforgettable Lunar New Year celebration as we welcome the Year of the Snake alongside DC Restaurant Week!

This event will showcase various guest chef appearances, weekend tea service, and daily Lunar New Year themed specials to honor the spirit of the season.

Please see the full schedule and details below.

 
 

Join Chefs Danny Lee & Scott Drewno in collaboration with Helen Nguyen (Saigon Social, NYC), Stevie Chu (Ekiben, Baltimore), Yesoon Lee (Mandu, DC), & Rosie Nguyen (Rose Ave Bakery, DC) as we kick off Lunar New Year celebrations with a festive dinner at The Shell! Each chef will curate a course that is perfect for welcoming in the New Year. Price includes a welcome cocktail, but additional drinks can be purchased on site. Please note tickets for this event are for the entire dining room, including bar top, & guests may be seated with people outside of their party as this event is intended to be a celebration of togetherness as we enter the New Year!
