Toronto Michelin Chinese Food Review | MiMi Chinese🥢✨
📍 Why We Tried It? This Michelin-recommended Chinese restaurant promises elevated takes on classic dishes, but with a Western chef team—does it deliver on flavor or just look pretty? We tried 7 dishes to find out. 🍽️ Dish-by-Dish Review (Honest Ratings!) 1️⃣ Cold Noodles (Liang Fen) 🌟🌟🌟✨ (3.5/5) ✔ Pros: Fragrant chili oil, appetizing, mild spice (Zhejiang natives say medium heat). ❌ Cons: Tiny portion, gone in 3 bites, sauce too salty alone. 2️⃣ Sticky Rice-Stuffed Chicken Wings 🌟🌟🌟 (3/5) ✔ Pros: Crispy skin, chewy glutinous rice filling. ❌ Cons: Mushroom flavor MIA, forgettable. 3️⃣ Shrimp Toast Sandwich 🌟🌟🌟 (3/5) ✔ Pros: Thick shrimp paste, oily brioche (RIP diet). ❌ Cons: Bland—literally forgot the taste post-meal. 4️⃣ Chili Sea Bass 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (4/5) ✔ Pros: Fresh, boneless fish, tangy-sweet chili sauce (but not spicy despite "8/10 heat" warning). ❌ Cons: Chili lacks punch, leans sweet-sour. 5️⃣ Lamb Fried Rice 🌟🌟✨ (2.5/5) ✔ Pros: None. ❌ Cons: Hard, oily rice, zero lamb flavor—DIY fried rice at home wins. 6️⃣ Stir-Fried Greens 🌟🌟 (2/5) ✔ Pros: Veggies fresh. ❌ Cons: Salt bomb—we sent it back. 7️⃣ Salted Egg Malay Cake 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ (4.5/5) ✔ Pros: STAR DISH! Fluffy cake + salted egg + condensed milk = addictive. ❌ Cons: Why can’t everything else be this good? ✨ Overall Verdict ✔ Ambiance: Upscale, open kitchen, Instagrammable. ✔ Service: Polite but detached, spice-level guidance unreliable. ✔ Price: $60–80/pp (small portions, low value). #MichelinChinese #HypeOrWorthIt #PrettyButMeh
