Best Restaurants for Late Night Dining in San Mateo

EVERY TIME we are in SF, we celebrate with dinner at Nopa. The food and service are always outstanding. Had the Gigante beans, flatbread and the brisket this time. Our Mom joined us, shared a little of the appetizers and really loved the burger. We had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with Anders, the chef who is also "running the show". He's another reason to go back. Thanks Anders, you're fantastic!

Wow—the ambiance, food, and service were incredible. I brought my friend here to celebrate her birthday, and the entire experience made her feel so special. Our server surprised her with a mini birthday cake and candle, which was such a thoughtful touch. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it for special occasions, date nights, or simply when you want a delicious meal. A truly memorable experience.

The overall experience was great, the owner treated me like family and gave personal recommendations from the type of drink to the type of food. Speaking of the food?? THIS PLACE IS EXCEPTIONAL. Beyond flavorful and balanced with quite large servings. Yes it is a bit of a pork heavy menu, but don’t let that deter you. This might be the best Korean food I’ve had in a very, very long time. I will be back!
