Incredible food incredible experience. I highly recommend going with a group (4+) so you can try most of the menu. The mandu were great, the wings gave me a ratatouille moment. It's a little hard to tell what the portions are so if you want to avoid taking home a ton of leftovers: 1 larger item will feed 2 people 1 smaller item will feed one so if you have 5 people do 2 larger + 1 smaller. Service is good but if you get extra rice they will charge you 2.50 per extra little bowl of rice.

안녕하세요!! I'm out of Elite Squad Yelper captivity, and celebrating with my Korean brothers and sisters with some CHINGU! I spent a year in Korea and love Korean cuisine. I've had quite a bit! Spent a lot of time eating Korean food in Gangnam, Hongdea, of course Itaewon and all over Seoul. I stuck to the Beef Short Ribs and these things were full..I mean FULL OF FLAVOR! The flavor profile is eccentric and bold, the Char on the ribs bring out the deep profiles of soy, garlic, and ginger. TBH me and my family make out teriyaki sauce and it has similarities but (we are Hawaiian). If you want bold, unique, and indescribably different tastes from a normal Korean restaurant I think you'll find that here. While the same in many aspects I feel like the unique and what seems to be artistically thought out recipes you can distinctively tell CHINGU beats their own drum!! I'd say this place is appropriate for a fun, more than casual, but satisfyingly enjoyable Korean restaurant. (Alittle on the fine dining compared to other Korean restaurants). Downside: The kimchi- While surprisingly flavorful it stands out of not my favorite or near best tasting Kimchi I've had....Im a huge advocate for good kimchi but this one I would not refer to someone and expect them to like it. Like I said rather flavorful, I think it misses the mark. (It is vegan) I don't believe that's the kicker because I've had vegan Kimchi. Overal I think it's a cool spot!

I was super excited to try this place since I've heard that it is very busy usually but I came in during their lunch hour today and it was pretty empty - I was quite surprised. Now when I try a new spot, I make it a mission to order at least three things off the menu so that I give this place a fair rating. I did stop by with a friend so it also helped with all the food we were getting. Our serve was pretty nice and when I was ordering he kinda made a joke and said "wow that's a lot of food for just two people" side eye lol.. but that's okay! I care more about the food. So let's jump in. The bibimbap was brought out first and was served with a side of tofu sauce. I'm a big carnivore person but recently have been trying to venture out and try meatless things so it made sense to me to order this. The base was a heaping amount of white rice, has veggies, tofu and the sunny side up egg. The sauce itself tasted like a very sweet ketchup. With all the veggies, I felt like I needed even more sauce. If you are a big fan of bibimbap, this is pretty good. But, to be honest, I probably won't come here to order this again. I'm glad I tried it but it didn't really stick out to me. I ordered the Stir Fry bowl with noodles, spicy pork and their Gochujang sauce - and this might been the tastiest thing I had here. I'm not a big spicy person and the sauce was not overly spicy - it just had enough of a kick to amplify the flavor. I'm firm with believing that noodles were the best pairing for the dish instead of the rice. The Korean Fried Chicken was served last and the wings were unbelievably crispy and packed with flavor. I got a side of soy ginger sauce but the sauce really wasn't needed. The crispy chicken skin was all the flavor you really needed. *Order the Stir fry bowl with NOODLES - and venture out and get the gochujang sauce (it pairs perfectly) *if you can, stop by during the lunch hour - you won't have to worry about finding parking and your receive fast, prompt service Will definitely be coming back to try other things off the menu :-)

We had a group of 10, and we were seated pretty quickly. We all got a few items like the cheese corn, short ribs, sliders, and a few other things. They all tasted delicious, the only thing that I was not a fan of what the kimchi. For me, it just didn't have a good flavor. Everything else was delicious, and the service was great. The food didn't all come out at the same time, but I'm glad the dishes were more to share.
