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.

    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

    Shrimp toast was delicious. The rest of the food was good but not great. Service was excellent. You just don’t get much for what you pay.

    This is a modern Chinese restaurant -upscale, lively and fun! The servers were excellent, explaining how the menu worked and recommending quantities o food for the 2 of us. The food was traditional with a delicious modern spin: BBQ pork with a drizzle of honey, stir fried. green with a drizzle of chilli oil. The open kitchen is always a plus, and the only criticism we had was that it was difficult to eat the food over rice from the large bowls provided - chopsticks are made for small bowls. This place is definitely worth a visit when in Toronto!
