    Drunken Noodles & Pad Thai

    I have been here several times. I dined-in twice and ordered take out at least twice. It's a hit every single time. Their pad Thai is delicious as are their drunken noodles and fresh rolls. There's nothing I've ordered that I haven't liked. I also really appreciate how family friendly it is. I have little kids & they were very nice & accommodating to them. Will continue to come here. Thank you, Chimm!

    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!

    Pro: big parking lot, clean interior, friendly staff, outdoor seating, online ordering. Con: none. Was looking around for a place to eat some lunch and just so happen to come across this place online. The parking lot is big so no issues finding a parking space. They offer outdoor dining but we chose to eat inside due to the heat. The interior is very clean with some cool decoration hanging from the ceiling. The ceiling decoration was very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. For appetizer, we had the chicken satay that came with a peanut butter type sauce. It was ok in my opinion, just. Nothing mind blowing. For my entree I had the crab fried rice while my companion had the drunken noodle. When the food first came out the portion size may look small but it does fill you up at the end. The crab fried rice was very good and hot. I also did try some of the drunken noodle with spicy and it was delicious. The one female staff member who was the host and waiter was very friendly and attentive to our needs by refilling our drinks as needed. All in all, I had a good experience here and would recommend anyone looking for some good Thai food to stop by.

    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.

    So happy I stumbled upon this place last year and bookmarked. Ordered pork pad see ew with extra cabbage and a side of steamed veggies for takeout. Food was ready as promised, hot, and tasty; and service was fast and kind. Would have loved to sit in but next trip, great vibe!

    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.

    My husband and I were in Charlottesville for the weekend and I recently binge watched Mark Weins on YouTube. He's based is Bangkok Thailand so lots of Thai food, which got me craving Thai food. A quick Yelp search netted Chimm. The decor is really understated and Zen. Plants across the ceiling and clean lines everywhere else. I like it! It does feel a little like a quick service restaurant but that doesn't bug me. We selected two Sapporo, Laab and grilled shrimp for appetizers. You have to know that the portions here are tiny for the price. The Laab was tasty, the shrimp were boring and plain...I wouldn't order it again. For entrees my hubby got the Tom yum soup and I got stir-fried basil and chicken. I don't love that everything is made with ground or minced meat. I'd prefer to have an actual piece of chicken vs the ground meat that was in my meal, but I get that it is their thing. While everything was okay, it wasn't crave-worthy at all. I don't know that I'd eat here again.

    My hubby and I arrived on a Monday in August about 6:00 PM. First alarm bell was a sign at the entrance that they were short staffed - hmmm. Except for the colorful umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, the atmosphere inside the restaurant is plain with maybe a dozen tables. Only one table was occupied so it wasn't busy. A few people came in to pick up to go orders. Our waiter was new - which we knew because he told us immediately. He wasn't familiar with the menu so any questions we had were answered after he went into the kitchen to ask someone. I get it that COVID put a fly in the ointment, but did someone say minimal training? And speaking of flies, yes, there were plenty of those annoying buggers vying for attention. Moving on. Smack dab in the middle of wine country, and they only serve wine in those little airplane type bottles from who knows what origin (the waiter shrugged his shoulders). So, we opted for water. Wine snobs, I know. For dinner, we ordered Chicken Panang Curry and Chicken and Cashews. It took about 15 minutes for my meal to arrive and another few minutes for hubby's dinner to be delivered. Both meals were decent sized servings, and both were also chock full of slices of chicken, which was a tad tough. The Panang came with 3 florets of broccoli, and a few strips of red pepper. The sauce was flavorful and a bit spicy as a good Panang should be. The Chicken and Cashews had a variety of vegetables (onion, scallions, and carrots), and the Chimm sauce which was tasty. We didn't enjoy the rice as it was dry and crunchy. An hour later, there were 3 occupied tables - again, not busy. But we had to flag down the waiter to get the check, and he left the dirty dishes on the table which is a pet peeve of mine. Overall, the food was pretty good so we'd order takeout but we wouldn't eat at the restaurant again.

    Thai iced tea with coconut milk
    Christina Z.

    We decided to venture back since my last review, and I'm happy to see changes since the opening phase! (Plus I had to try out the pho added to the menu!) Updates since my previous review: 1) Service is much more efficient and pretty quick. 2) Thai tea with coconut milk is still delicious and is a must have if you are sensitive to dairy! 3) The pho is flavorful and comes with a decent amount of meat (not just all noodles) - great for a cold rainy day. 4) The pad seew has improved - better balance of sweet and salty and more vegetables mixed in. 5) Be sure to check out their seasonal specials - we tried the fried banana dessert and it reminded me of a Filipino dessert my mom makes at home! I definitely will add Chimm to one of my go-to Thai places in the area now.
