" If you're looking for a hidden gem of fried chicken in Koreatown, look no further than Chimmelier! The fried chicken stood out with its perfect crunch and juicy interior. Loved their variety of dipping sauces as well. I'd recommend this place wholeheartedly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chimmelier is a gem! The fried chicken is crunchy and juicy while the sauces are simply delicious. I went with a large group and everyone left satisfied and full. We ordered a bunch of different dishes, and there wasn't a single dud among them. However, be prepared for a short wait time during peak hours. Still, the food is totally worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn't find the food at Chimmelier to be as extraordinary as others raved about. I've had better Korean fried chicken elsewhere. The wings were a bit too oily for my liking, but the shrimp toast was pleasant and flavorful. If you're a die-hard fan of fried chicken, you might enjoy this place. I do think the service was friendly and attentive, which is a plus. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Chimmelier while exploring Koreatown, and it was a delightful experience! The chicken sandwich was truly a standout, crispy on the outside and juicy within. The seasoning was spot on, and the fries were a perfect match. The atmosphere is casual; I didn't mind waiting a bit for my meal because it was clearly made with care. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard rumblings about Chimmelier's fried chicken and decided it was time to check it out. I'm a bit of a fried chicken aficionado, and I must say, theirs holds its own. The batter was layered beautifully over succulent meat and wasn't overly greasy. I also sampled their tteokbokki and kimchi fried rice, both of which were equally flavorful. One downside was that the place felt crowded even at off-peak hours. Still, I'd highly recommend it for anyone craving some authentic Korean comfort food. I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious fried chicken at Chimmelier! Every bite was bursting with flavor. Despite the limited seating, the staff made us feel welcome. The only downside was the parking, which can be a hassle during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Chimmelier was memorable! The fried chicken tasted fresh and was succulent. I particularly liked that you could customize the spice level on the wings, tailored perfectly to what I enjoy. Expect a laid-back environment perfect for gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)
