MIMI Chinese has officially expanded from Toronto to Miami Beach. This marks the first international venture for Big Hug Hospitality, a group celebrated for its dedication to regional Chinese cuisine and hospitality-driven dining experiences.
Known for their modern approach to traditional Chinese culinary techniques, MIMI Chinese has become a dining favourite in Toronto, earning Michelin recognition. The Miami Beach outpost brings the same commitment to culinary artistry, showcasing dishes that highlight the rich diversity of Chinese cuisine. Signature items include Hunan Chili Sea Bass, Shrimp Toast, Hidden Crispy Chicken, and the showstopping Four Foot Belt Noodles. These dishes reflect the restaurant’s roots in the Guangdong, Sichuan, Hunan, and Hong Kong regions, blending authenticity with innovative presentation.
Dining at MIMI Chinese is a sensory experience. The interior features luxurious red accents, glossy banquettes, and dim lighting, creating a warm and intimate setting. The scent of toasting Sichuan peppercorns fills the air, while sharply dressed servers in bowties provide attentive service. Designed without windows, the space offers a fully immersive escape, transporting guests into a world of refined flavours and vibrant energy.
The beverage program is equally impressive, with a curated selection of wines, sakes, and baijiu designed to pair seamlessly with the bold and nuanced dishes. Highlights include barrel-aged sakes and large-format bottles ideal for sharing. Signature cocktails draw inspiration from Chinese ingredients, complementing the restaurant’s culinary offerings.
“We’re excited to bring MIMI Chinese to Miami Beach, a city known for its vibrant culture and dynamic food scene,” said Executive Chef Braden Chong. “Our menu is designed to honour Chinese culinary traditions while incorporating the playful energy of Miami.”
