Waitress didn’t understand English very well- this led to her not understanding that my mom said she did NOT want broccoli in her dish but yet it was still made wrong. I asked for lime and basil with my dish and she charged me $2.50 for that which is petty, never had a thai/Vietnamese restaurant do that before. We had to wait almost 15 minutes before she took our order. The food was ok, not good enough for me to ever come back here again honestly. Portion size for the stir fry was definitely smaller than most other Vietnamese restaurants I’ve been to. The atmosphere was a cute lil restaurant in the corner of the plaza. The chive cakes were double fried in some pretty dark/old oil. When she gave the card reader at the table to pay she made sure to stare while I wrote in the tip amount which is rude and obnoxious.

This restaurant is epically good. There are many options to choose from on the menu and you can’t make a bad choice. The dishes are quite authentic and they have some items I haven’t been able to find at other restaurants.
The cooks are legit and from different regions of Thailand. This is important because the different regions have their own cuisine and getting them right is what Chim does well.
The staff is friendly, helpful and provide excellent service. The restaurant is clean and brightly decorated.
I recommend the drunken noodles and if you can take spice, the Chim chili oil is packing heat!

2 of us came here on a Friday night and we were immediately seated. The food was great, but we thought the price was too high for the portions. Not sure if we would come again for that reason, but I would definitely recommend the cashew stir fry.

Friendly service with lots of laughs coming from the other tables. I highly recommend the wonderfully seasoned shrimp wonton soup and my wife spoke highly of the pad Thai. The chicken garlic stir fry was amazing in both presentation and taste. We will be back again.

This was our first time trying their food as we were out on a date night, and I can confidently say we highly recommend this place, especially for high tea. We tried the papaya salad, drunken noodles, and Thai basil fried rice, and every dish was bursting with flavor. I also tried the chicken satay which was flavorful but a lil dry for my liking (it was not chewy but just a lil on drier side).
Our server was incredibly accommodating and went the extra mile to enhance our experience. Before I ordered the papaya salad, she kindly let me sample the fish sauce, the salad’s base ingredient, to ensure I would enjoy it. That thoughtful gesture really stood out and made our evening all the more pleasant. Throughout our meal, the staff frequently checked in to ensure everything was perfect.
For dessert, we had the mango sticky rice, which was absolutely delightful—a perfect end to an amazing meal. The ambiance, service, and food were all excellent, making our evening truly memorable.
I rarely write restaurant reviews, but this place genuinely deserves the recognition. It’s a hidden gem, and I can’t wait to come back (our server also recommended me what dishes to try for next time) and explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for flavorful dishes, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this spot is a must-try!

Grabbed a To-Go of the Green Curry w/ Jasmine Rice. It was Okay especially for the price and portion sizes…the Rice was a overcooked and more sticky then I preferred and of course to me Thai Hot could have been Hotter. So it was Good not Great but would definitely come back to try the Pad Thai

Lunch at Chimm and ordered papaya salad, green curry with tofu and red curry with tofu. Was very pleased with the flavors and mix of vegetables in my curry dishes. The green curry was my favorite because I love the complex flavor profiles. Papaya salad (Thai style) was also nice. Red curry was delicious. Service was fast and polite. Great selection of dishes. I will return soon and try more entrees.
Returned today for lunch and again ordered the papaya salad and green curry with tofu. Also ordered the stir fried eggplant with mixed vegetables. My favorite is the green curry because it is so fragrant and I love the mix of veggies they include. The stir fried eggplant with basil and mixed veggies tasted awesome. Love the flavor profiles here. This time, I took a few photos. Also seated immediately, no wait time. Same friendly waiter as last time, great service. Overall a relaxing and flavorful experience.

TL;DR: Well-designed restaurant, friendly servers, interesting food presentation. Thai food is decently good but some of the dishes are a miss. The $1-3 premium they have on their prices is unnecessary for the level of their food. When the food came out, black flies followed (not on the food)
Specific Foods:
Basil Fried Rice: 5.0/10
Red Curry: 7.3/10
Pork Belly Garlic Stir Fry: 5.5/10 (I may be biased on this one since this was my first time eating pork belly outside of kBBQ, but I was also not a fan of steamed broccoli as an accompaniment)
Basil Stir Fry: 8.2/10
Tom Yum Soup: 8.0/10
Summer Rolls Tofu: 8.0/10
Tea: 9/10
Special Attention: Probably about 35 actual seats inside but was not busy during peak Saturday afternoon.
General Wait Time for 1/2 dishes: 30 min
General Comments: For some reason, when the food came out, we started getting annoyed by regular black house flies. Not sure what was going on with that.

NO MILITARY DISCOUNT
Food was very very good. The satay was very flavorful with a great peanut sauce. I enjoyed the pad Thai chicken with only a level 1 spice. The pork belly stole the show! Loved the flavor and the pork was cooked to perfection!
Overall a very good experience.

A bit pricey but worth every cent. Amazingly good food, abundant portions, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere… But they lost two stars for the background music which sounded constantly like there was a cap gun going off in the background. For two old people with hearing aids, it was pretty overwhelming. Will probably return for takeout. The dumpling appetizers were heavenly: I had kimchi drunken noodles and my wife had a duck dish that was wonderful.
