The beef fried rice was good & tasty with an ok amount of beef & egg. The in house made spicy red stuff was also very tasty. They include a lime which really complimented the beef fried rice. An added curry seasoning for the rice would be nice. Overall I give the Beef Fried Rice a 9 out of 10.
I was puzzled with the two kinds of wings. 10 pc chicken wing with Laab seasoning & the other was roasted wing being 3 or 5 piece but more expensive. Well the roasted wings are what normally are cut into 2 pieces (flapper & drummy) so basically you're really getting 6 wings with the 3 uncut if that makes sense. See the pics to know what I mean. Also the roasted wings seemed a little larger. (See comparison in pic) the Laab is a dry powdery seasoning. A little limey & spicy. I liked it but sparingly which is why I got it on the side. The roasted wings were flavorful (and a little more juicy) without any additional seasoning & I see why they cost more. It's a more premium wing. The Laab wings get a 8 out of 10 while I give the roasted wings 9 out of 10. I'll have to try the stuffed wings next time. Don't know what that's about. It was my first time trying this restaurant. Since I did order takeout the atmosphere is unknown. The only downside I see are the prices seemed a little steep but you get what you pay for I suppose. Overall I give this restaurant a 9 out 10. They definitely put some pride & love...
Read moreMy experience with Pho is very limited. However, I thought food is good and worth a try.
I had fast service, food came out fast and fresh.
Upon being seated, you have the standard assortments used for Pho: hot oil, fish floss, hoisin sauce, and sriracha.
I purchased cheese wantons and an egg roll. Both were good and are solid starters. Serving sizes are small, but good.
My main courses were sausage and sticky rice and beef & meatball Pho.
Sticky rice was fantastic. Be warned, it's like eating a sleeping pill, and you will get filled fast. The sausage was ok. I think the problem for me was I ordered too much food. I didn't give the proper attention for the sausage. Furthermore, I'd give it another try.
First time eating Pho. I think the broth was ok by itself. Adding in sriracha, hot oil, and all the sides really made the dish standout. If you use the hot oil, ITS NUMMY. You'll be smiling.
Some of my food associates have echoed the Papaya salad is worth a try too.
I firmly believe the food served here is at least a 4. Mind you, I have no prior experience eating Pho. It's a nice having an alternative Asian restaurant for the La Crosse area.
Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. The front of the house was spotless. Clean restaurant means clean food.
My service time was at 4:30 on a Friday. I would try Mimi's Kitchen again for the Pho or sticky rice and sausage...
Read moreThis is a very very new restaurant that just opened and overall it is ok. I would rate it overall 3.5-4 stars. I think the owners need a lot of help such as busting, waiting, register, and etc. I was happy to see the restaurant so busy but I felt bad for 1 person doing everything because they had no help. The service was relatively slow because they are very short in staffs. The eggrolls were good, very moist, and had good balance of meat, veggies, and noodle (5/5). The pad Thai was plain and not much flavor (2/5). The the combination fried rice was LEGIT, it was warm, moist, and good flavor (5/5). The papaya salad wasn't as good as expect (2/5). The appetizer chicken wings were big, crispy, and well cooked (5/5). The laab wings were cooked well and well seasoned, but it didn't taste much like laab (3/5). The pho wasn't as flavorful as expected (2/5). The sticky rice was very good and perfect texture (5/5). These are my personal reviews. Would like to see how other people rate the food as well. I think the restaurant has good room for improvement and I will always support small mom/pop restaurants like...
