How did I not know about Chako until a few days ago? We went on February 14th at 5:00, as a late lunch/early dinner, which worked out very nicely, as we didn't get caught in the Vday dinner craziness. Greeted and seated by a friendy hostess, we were led through the half-filled restaurant to a spacious booth. I found the beef ribs and sliced beef really good! I liked how there were 5-6 different types of veggies on the menu. And pineapple too! It was nice to have the option of sushi. They were pretty thin slices of fish, but that's pretty much all you need, seeing how there is good a variety of meat and veggies. We definitely smelled like bbq when we went home, but that's part of the experience!
