" Chimmelier was a bit disappointing in my opinion. The flavors weren't as bold as I had been told, and I felt the chicken could have been cooked a bit longer for that extra crunch. On the other hand, the staff was very cheerful and accommodating, which brightened my visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my recent trip to LA, I made it a point to check out Chimmelier. The food was impressive; I particularly enjoyed the variety of sauces available for the fried chicken. It was flavorful despite being mildly spicy—which suited my palate perfectly. The staff was very helpful in guiding my selections. I will surely recommend this place to friends back home! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chimmelier has an eclectic vibe that perfectly matches their inventive menu. I love the creativity of their sides like cheese corn with radish dipping sauce. The fried chicken is everything I hoped for but remember to ask for extra napkins—it's a bit messy but worth every bite! The only critique I would make is regarding parking; it can be challenging during lunch rushes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Chimmelier with a group of friends and it was a hit! All the dishes were delicious, especially the honey butter wings. The staff was friendly, but the place was packed, resulting in a bit of a wait. If you can overlook that, the food is definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Chimmelier after hearing so much buzz about their Korean fried chicken and I was not disappointed! From the crispy texture to the very flavorful sauce, everything hit the mark. I also tried a side of their kimchi fried rice which added a nice kick to my meal. The service was attentive, which only added to my experience. " (*Curated Review*)
