Chimac sits on Aungier Street in Dublin 2, bringing a fresh take on Korean-inspired fried chicken to the heart of the city. The name itself is a nod to the Korean tradition of pairing fried chicken (chikin) with beer (maekju), and this casual spot has made it their mission to perfect both.
The dining space is modern and unfussy, with wooden benches and tables designed for casual meals. The format is well-suited to groups sharing plates or anyone stopping by for a quick bite and a drink. The relaxed setup makes it easy to settle in for a laid-back meal without fuss.
The menu revolves around fried chicken, prepared with a choice of sauces that range from classic soy garlic to spicier options like gochujang. The chicken is brined, double-fried, and served either as wings, tenders, or in sandwiches. Sides include options like kimchi slaw and loaded fries, while vegetarians are catered for with dishes such as crispy tofu bites. Drinks are equally considered, with a focus on craft beer, including local and Korean brews, alongside cocktails and soft drinks.
Takeaway is available, making Chimac a convenient choice for those who want to enjoy their fried chicken on the go.
