Reviews for MIMI Chinese in Toronto, ON
Extremely expensive food ($110++) that has lovely texture but very little flavour. No wow factor from the kitchen. They are good... with accommodating allergies. Service is self-serve family-style sharing which is difficult with a group. This is ultimately abeginner Chinese banquet restaurant for non Asian guests who have never been to luxury Chinese banquet restaurants! We won't bereturning. Read more
Great place for first dates - really loved the ambiance and the service was attentive. The food was nothing special, overhyped... and overpriced. We ordered shrimp toast - extremely greasy and the shrimp filling was a little mushier than I like (or usedto). I had high expectations on the char siu from all the raving reviews, but it was 70% fat and to be honest we brought theleftovers home but never ate it because of how fatty it was. The portion was huge, I?d give them that. I wasn?t a huge fan ofthe sauce for the belt noodles, it was overly sweet. The stuffed chicken wing was the best tasting thing out of ourmeal! Overall, it?s a cute restaurant but nothing special. If you want to score a seat, just give them a call vs reservingonline. We called and got same day seats for a late night dinner (9pm). Read more
There is a long waitlist but if you can make it, it is worth the wait. The attention to detail is exceptional. Mimi puts a... classic twist on fine dining Chinese cuisine. We tried almost everything on the menu but the highlight definitely was the charsiu and the steak for mains and every single dessert. We loved the little panda cocktail and the seating and set up made us feellike we were at a swanky Chinese restaurant. Of course the foot long noodle was a must! Read more
perfect place for a birthday celebration! I had high expectations going in and Mimi exceeded them all. Every dish was perfectly... cooked and had deliciously balanced flavours. We had 6 dishes and I could not pick a favourite if I tried...they were all tooamazing. Read more
Great date night spot. Food was delicious. Highly recommend the long noodles and the duck starter they have. Their cocktails... were really good and strong which I love. Highly recommend to those who would like to try authentic Chinese. Getting a table isdifficult so would recommend booking online and sometimes may need a months time in advance as it is booked up. But worth thewait. Read more
Had the chance to eat at MIMI Chinese last week and all I can say is WOW. One of the best dinning experiences I?ve had in the... city. To start off our server Angela was very knowledgeable about the entire menu. The menu is meant to be shared amongst yourtable and she gave us great recommendations and crowd favourites. She was very professional & fun, providing such a high levelof service. We ordered 10 dishes which she coursed out for us so perfectly. Must have dishes - Shrimp toast, Scallion & GingerScallop, Crossed Arm Dumplings in Red Oil, House Char Siu, Four Foot Belt Noodle. The cocktails are very different and fun.Favourite was the jasmine reviver. The Ma Lai Go dessert was fantastic as well. Needless to say we had an amazing night andwill be talking about this dinner to all our family and friends until we can get another reservation. Read more
So delicious! Every dish was so tasty. Service great and atmosphere trendy and comfortable. A hidden gem. The dumplings and... shrimp toast were ???? as was the rest of the food and drinks. Read more
Went for dinner, the food, absolutely incredible! All the portions are definitely sized for sharing as the menu says. The... service is more relaxed. It's not the type of place for a quick bite. Our waitress was super polite and helped us with the menu,making a few suggestions. The bar staff is unbelievably knowledgeable. We asked to be surprised with something not too sweet andspirit forward. What we got was something so incredible that we did it again. Couldn't even tell you what it was called, butit's definitely worth the risk. We definitely got carried away with trying a lot of food and the drinks, but if you keep itslightly modest, the value is very good. Read more
