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.

Mimi’s was incredible. The service was hands down smooth and professional. All the dishes were a hit, especially the shrimp toast! We talked about it for days after. Thank you for hosting our staff dinner. We all talked about the next time we’ll be back.

We very much enjoyed our meal at Mimi! We did a chef choice tasting menu that was all Cantonese dishes. Not spicy but full of umami flavour. Would come back and try other things from the main menu! Our server was lovely!

Food was innovative, very spicy, still quite oily even after asking for less oil and healthier prepared dishes. Veg friendly. Excellent black bean sea bass. Bluefin tuna excellent. Steamed cake excellent also. Other dishes good. Cocktails awesome.

Excellent food and service, really enjoyed the hidden crispy chicken. Their food portions are big enough to share among 2 or 3 people
