The new CHIKO restaurant coming to Loudoun County is one step closer to reality now that the sign has officially been installed on the exterior.
CHIKO — which specializes in CHInese and KOrean dishes — is coming to the blossoming Cascades Marketplace shopping center in Sterling.

The fast casual restaurant has taken over the space vacated by a Noodles and Company location.
CHIKO has five locations open so far. The Loudoun County store will be No. 6, according to the company’s website.
We reached out to the folks at CHIKO HQ and — while they didn’t have an opening date to announce yet — they did say they expect to have news soon.
Meanwhile, the leasing team at Cascades Marketplace has signed a string of hot new restaurants recently.
Besides CHIKO, the line-up includes the upcoming Brasserie Royale from the owners of the popular Local Provisions, as well as a drive-thru Shake Shack, a Taco Bamba, and a Mezeh Mediterranean Grill coming in the near future.
