" I was excited to try Chim! after hearing raving reviews. The Cray and Shrimp fried rice did not disappoint! The portions are hefty, and the flavors are on point. However, the service was a tad slow on a busy night, and I had to flag down my server a couple of times. Despite this, the overall experience was wonderful. I look forward to trying their desserts next time, especially the mango sticky rice! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to many Thai restaurants, but Chim! feels different. The unique blend of flavors is amazing, and the way they present their dishes is beautiful. I enjoyed the curry puffs and won't forget the mango sticky rice. Service was friendly, though it could get a bit busy. I appreciate the authenticity and will surely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended Chim! after we expressed our love for Thai food. We were not disappointed! The offerings are authentic and robust in flavor. The ambiance is also relaxed, making it perfect for a casual dinner. However, the service was a bit slower during dinner hours. I would definitely come again—especially for that mango sticky rice! " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic place to grab some Thai food! The vibe of the small restaurant brings out the street food aspect which I love. I tried the Pad Kee Maow and it blew me away! Absolutely loved the crispy chicken skin too. Staff were nice, but do expect slow service during peak hours. Otherwise, it was a great experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a memorable dining experience at Chim! The staff were incredibly welcoming and made sure our needs were met promptly. The Pad Kee Mao was a highlight—full of flavor and cooked to perfection! The only downside was the limited parking, but I'll definitely keep coming back for their delicious food, especially since their prices are so reasonable for the quality offered.

" Chim! delivers an authentic yet laid-back vibe that makes dining enjoyable. I particularly loved the crab rangoons, which were crispy and flavorful. While the seating is limited, it adds to the charm as you feel like you've stepped into a local Thai eatery. The staff were friendly and attentive, even during their rush times. I’ll recommend it to friends looking for a true Thai culinary experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chim! has become my favorite Thai spot in Pasadena! The atmosphere is cozy, and the decor gives off a classic Thai vibe. I had the Yellow Curry with chicken and it was delicious – just the right amount of spice. The portion sizes were generous for the price, making it a great value for its authenticity. I will definitely return to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
