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.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Make your way to the black-and-red scene inside MIMI, where the dining room glows with neon lights and velvet booths. At this upscale Chinese spot, the belt noodles run four feet long, the chicken wings get stuffed with sticky rice, and cocktails come in panda-shaped mugs. No wonder it ranks on Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants list.

    This was our first time here and we decided to do the tasting menu. Really enjoyed the progression of dishes. We particularly liked how the food was not overdone and did not stray too far from traditional flavours but still showcased some nice technique. Next time I come back I’d like to try dishes from the a la cart menu!

    Nothing special, probably Manchu wok is better for the rice. The raw scallop and tuna were the only good dish and it was just ok. Wouldn’t go back, Sunny there sister resto is better

    While the vibe, service and ambience are all first rate the food is very average, heavily over salted and wildly overpriced. I would not recommend it if you’re looking for a great Chinese culinary experience.

    Overall very good food and service. It’s a bit noisy but I guess that shows everyone is enjoying themselves. Must try is the signature Char Siu. The sea bass is deboned which is a first for me. Recommended. Overall 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. Wish they serve soup.
