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.

Overall was a really good experience. The food was good and priced really fairly. Mimosas also hit the spot. Sierra really sold me on the frozen espresso martinis, never seen something like that. The staff were very kind and respectful. Skylar was one of the best employees, such a hard worker and very nice, she really is something special.

We had an amazing dinner at Kinka Izakaya! The aburi shrimp and aburi salmon are absolute must-tries—so flavorful and perfectly done. We also loved their unique take on tempura; it’s not your usual kind and tastes incredible. The temaki flight and nigiri flight were equally impressive, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. If you’re looking for something delicious, easy to enjoy, and great value for your money, Kinka Izakaya is definitely worth a visit.
