Who we are

We're Chimmelier.
Korean fried chicken, born in a Koreatown parking lot.

We started frying in a Koreatown parking lot during the pandemic because people were hungry and we had a fryer. It worked. Then Smorgasburg, then Coachella, and now a second shop on Vine St in Hollywood.

Here's the deal: every bird gets fried twice so it stays crispy under the glaze. You pick the flavor — nine of them, from OG to Buldak — and it comes with pickled radish because that's how it's done. No secret menu, no line you have to be cool enough for. You were born cool. Come eat.

Everybody's Born Cool.

Not gonna lie, we're kind of a big deal.
