Food was excellent. The Garlic Chicken something something was flavorful and plenteous. The beef something something was delicious. The Pad Thai was amazing and the best my wife has ever had! The satay appetizer was perfect as were the Vietnamese rolls are the same everywhere in this country - rice paper wrapped lettuce and shredded carrots with peanut sauce. Service was a bit off, but nonetheless overall experience was worth our time and money.

We hadn't been back to Chimm's since before Covid. The food is really good, the wine is only fair, but the beer on tap is nice and cold and refreshing. There were 6 of us on a Saturday night. Margaret was our server. She was a hoot. Everything she told us about the menu was right on, especially about the Calamari which had a nice crunchy breading. The peanut sauce was the best I have ever tasted. I bought some spring rolls to take home, they were excellent. Their cucumber salad was even great. I can't wait to go back.

I have only dined here once and it was when I was really craving Thai food. I ordered the vegetable spring rolls and a the green curry and it was honestly really good. The service was fast and the dining room is very clean. I have very little complaints about the experience. The curry was delicious, though, I don't have much expertise in the Thai cuisine world so I don't know how it stacks up in comparison to other Thai restaurants in Charlottesville. Overall, I would come back here and would recommend to anyone looking for an easy Thai dining experience.

Yum!! I came here for lunch with a friend and the food was very good, I would come back. 4/5, above expectations. Service was fast, the inside of the store is clean and comfortable. Plenty of seating. I got the Thai tea with coconut milk and it was good. Well balanced and not too sweet, which I like. I got the pho with beef and it was really good. The broth was AMAZING! I've had pho other places in cville and thought I just wasn't a pho person - this was the best I've had here. Very good. The portions are LARGE too, it was definitely enough to feed 2 people. It was $12-13 which was really reasonable for the amount of food. The beef was just okay, maybe a little dry, but the broth itself was so delicious. I would get it again. Chimm is really careful with food waste, which I appreciated, so there are options to have items on the side to not waste food. Chimm also clearly marks items that are prepared spicy, and these are clearly marked. Know what you can handle spice wise, they will not refund you if you order something and can't handle it. This applies to certain dishes - most things on the menu however come at a 0 spice level, and they bring you a set of add ons - hoisin sauce, sriracha, chili oil, chili paste, flakes and jalapeños. If you like spice like I do, you can season it yourself which I LOVVEEE. This is a different approach than most Thai places in town and I really like that they do this. Overall they are very direct with the instructions for their menu and I appreciated this. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice and i spent $23 for food drink tax and tip for myself. Overall really reasonable and I would be back. Thanks Chimm team!

I had the drunken noodles here. To start, the service was really good, the servers were great. I also really liked the openness of the restaurant itself. The food was pretty good, I would definitely comeback! However, it wouldn't be the best I have had.

Pretty great for quenching my constant cravings for pho. I find that this location does take longer than the Dairy market location even though there's usually less people there. There's more seating here though! The woman who was serving the entire restaurant alone was very nice.

Happened upon this place as my husband and I were headed to the George Washington National Park for a camping trip. I'm so pleased that we found this gem of a restaurant. Unfortunately it's take out or delivery...no options for indoor dining at this time. We ordered "to go" and it was as simple as can be. Unless you LOVE Thai food, and can't make up your mind. which was my problem... I ordered the spicy basil duck (delicious, crispy, and spicy!) and my husband ordered the pork belly (salty, crispy, and full of flavor). Both dinners were fabulous. They were the perfectly sized portions to where my hubby and I shared half with each other. Which is one way to try new things! If you're passing through, or live in the area...this place is a great way to enjoy a delectable Thai meal.
