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.

The crispy shrimp is a bit greasy tasting and the scallion rice didn’t have much flavour. Peppered beef was good, but not sure if it’s worth $125

After a wonderful first experience we had to try Mimi again - it did not disappoint. This time was for my parent's Anniversary and I'm so glad we decided to choose this restaurant. The food is so exciting and full of flavour! The cocktails were also incredible - we shared the 'tea' service and I have to say its highly recommended. The wine list was also great, but could use more Canadian influence. Overall though, the effortless service was what brought everything together. Our server guided us through the menu and arranged a perfect supply of plates to keep us both intrigued and completely satisfied. Another outstanding evening - thank you Mimi!

Great night out. Helpful, friendly hosts. Lively atmosphere. Could've done without the cucumber salad, our only misstep. Best General Tao we've tasted. Will def return
