About the restaurant
Located on the outskirts of Toronto’s vibrant Yorkville neighbourhood, the MIMI story begins with memories of the past. Loud conversation over plates of steaming noodles. The rush of servers moving quickly about in starched white dress shirts and pressed black bow ties. Darkly lit nooks with deep shades of red. The clanking of cutlery as cocktails are shaken swiftly in the background. A fragrant scent of Sichuan peppercorns toasting in the wok. Moments of celebration and togetherness over both new and familiar food. MIMI Chinese offers a place of wonder that brings back a taste of the past.

This was our second visit to Sunnys. We were celebrating a birthday so decided to go for the Chef’s Tasting Menu. While everything was good we felt (for the price) there too many courses that were variations on “greens” ie cabbage etc. so were a bit disappointed. We will definitely go back as we still love it but would probably order from the regular menu. The staff as always is amazing. Love how into the food & how friendly they are.

The value for what we had was outstanding - sashimi dishes were very fresh, very nice quality, and the rolls were delicious. The karaage was great as well. We ordered around 8:45pm and several dishes were sold out: all of the wagyu dishes, the spring rolls, and the hapa pockets; the sushi bites sold out after our first order, so when we asked for a second we weren’t able to get more. Sapporo on tap was great. Half of our party doesn’t drink and the mocktails were delicious. It was extremely loud inside - I think if you want a quieter meal, try to get an earlier seating, toward the back of the restaurant. Our server was lovely, but service was a bit slow at times. Over all, a good experience for a fun relaxed atmosphere.

We had the chivken wings and liked the sauce overall, but felt it was a little overpowering. I would recommend asking for it on the side so that you can dip your wings.
