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.
New glaze. We already know. Come confirm. Best chicken you'll eat this week. Napkins are on us. Everybody's Born Cool. New glaze. We already know. Come confirm. Best chicken you'll eat this week. Napkins are on us. Everybody's Born Cool.
Menu
Korean fried chicken: the full spread
Pick your parts, pick your flavor. Nine flavors, one rule: every meal comes with a side and a soda.
Double-fried Korean fried chicken in nine flavors, from OG and Honey Butter to Galbi, Yang'Yum' and Buldak. Get it as wings, drum & thigh, jumbo tenders or a K-Chicken burger like the Chimmy Deluxe. Pickled radish comes with everything.
What meals do you serve?
Lunch, dinner and late-night: both shops are open every day from 11am to 11pm. Besides chicken there are pocha classics like tteokbokki, kimchi fried rice, tteok fries and rice bowls, and every meal set comes with a side and a soda.
Do you offer delivery or takeout?
Yes. Order pickup or delivery online from Koreatown or Vine St. Dine-in is walk-in at both shops.
Yes: trays, individual boxes, or our pop-up cart on site. Give us at least 48 hours' notice (a week for anything over 50 people) and we'll send a menu and a quote within two business days. Start a catering request.
