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.

Western-style Chinese food. Not authentic Chinese food. But the taste is generally good.

It was an impromptu reservation for 1. I ate at the bar and with the help of the knowledgeable bartender I ordered the supreme rice, hidden crispy fried chicken with 100 heaven facing chilies and the smacked cucumber salad and finished with a sake. It was a dimly lit restaurant that set a moody vibe. It would be great for a date night or for a group of 4-6 friends and family. Everything was tasty and my cocktail was delicious. Overall, I will be back with my partner and I recommend MIMI.
