Our food is a reflection of the melting pot of cultures that has gentrified the Queen West neighbourhood in Toronto. The menu has been designed for guests to share plates, in an effort to create a convivial and social dining experience.Our Wood-Fire Pizzas are a cross between Roma and Neapolitan styles; cooked in a wood-burning M.A.M pizza oven imported from Italy. It yields a crust that is thin but sturdy. Wood-fire capabilities are critical for our menu as the flavour imparted on the food is exceptional and unique.Our cocktails are equally thought out as our food. Our bartenders serve up a no-nonsense cocktail program featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients that are all made in house.For parties of 8+ please contact jo@thegoodsontoronto.com

• Chinese • The Annex
Booked 29 times today
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.

    The food was pure nostalgia, and the price was worth it. It was comfort food and reminded me of how my mom and grandma cooked it. My wife said the same thing, brought back good memories, and we're glad our son can taste what it was like growing up in the old days when food was made with quality ingredients and took time to cook it right. We ordered the Black Bean Cod, Steamed Giant Prawns (garlic + vermicelli), and Char Siu Pork for mains. We could've stopped here because it was perfect. But we continued with the Belt Noodles (like having pasta, but I like it) and Lobster Rice (which tastes like an elevated Fujian fried rice). We also ordered the ginger scallop, stuffed wings, and shrimp toasts, which my wife and son thoroughly enjoyed, while I didn't have any. I'll just take their word that it was very delicious. The service was equally good. I was running behind due to work, and the host was kind enough to hold our table. The team was friendly, and the reception was warm and welcoming. I always enjoy traditional home-cooked meals, and while we can't go back in time, we can always come back to MIMI Chinese. We had a very wonderful time, and we'll be coming back again soon.

    Indian Street Food Co consistently serves the best Indian cuisine in the neighbourhood. Everything is prepared to perfection, adequately portioned and served piping hot. The ambiance is beautiful! Dimly lit with chill music vibes. It might be a bit too dimly lit--the verdict is still out on that. Our server was attentive, informative and respectful. We will, of course, visit again.
