I have been here once before and it was excellent! The food is delicious and fresh.
However, I was looking forward to returning again here tonight for dinner. I got to the restaurant with my fiance at 6:30pm. The restaurant was empty. There were about 3 small tables taken at the time. There were a few wait staff just standing around since it was quiet.
I requested a table for 2, but they said since we didn't have a reservation they needed to talk about it with the manager (I think). A few minutes later the server came back and said that "I'm sorry, but everything is reserved for 7:00pm, there is no availability for 2 people right now". I looked around, then looked back at him and was like "You've got to be kidding me!" The place was absolutely EMPTY.
I can understand if we were a big group wanting to come and eat, but it was just my fiance and I and only 10% of the tables were occupied at the time. This is very poor business and unacceptable. No restaurant should treat their paying customers in this manner.
I will NEVER return here and never recommend Chingu to anyone in the future.
