Chingu is a cute, small spot with a unique outdoor street corner vibe. Known for their amazing food, especially the KFC and pocha, it's a popular late-night spot in San Mateo. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the hosts and staff are friendly, providing excellent service. While the wait can be long due to the small size, it's worth it. Guests have enjoyed the flavorful Ttoekboki and the bulgogi stew, although some noted that the meat quality could improve. The chicken wings are considered a standout. Just be prepared for loud music, which makes it less ideal for quiet conversations, but perfect for sharing small plates with friends.
