Service is the best part of this place. Nice, friendly and attentive. Cha gio are home made but not fabulous. Pho is too bland to my taste and meat not a first choice. Perhaps this place is better for bun and do-it-yourself plate/combos. I can continue to look for the best pho in Toronto. read more

One of my fav places when i lived down here!! This was quite awhile back in the late 90's. Probably came here every friday for dinner. And from looking at the reviews, its has not changed much. Always ordered the Pho. and shrimp roll wrap. Always hit the spot. Gonna try it, the next time i'm down here!! read more

This is a small family owned vietnmese restaurant. People don't come here for the decor, frankly it's a bit tacky; they come for the fresh, inexpensive and delicious food. When you walk in theres a somewhat cloudy fish tank with very large cat fish with bulging eyes, don't let this turn you off. I have been to this place many times and usually order the same item. They do grilled steak and bbq sugarcane shrimp very well. My favourite is the bun vermicelli, it's always the same and loaded with fresh veggies. My kids always order the do it yourself salad spring rolls and they have fun making their own food. Where else can a family of 4 eat dinner for 41$? read more

Mi Mi Restaurant - Bun vermicelli- grilled steak with spring roll at Mimi's Vietnamese restaurant. My fav item on the menu there. - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

My friend's girlfriend is Viet and she said this place is good. She was right. The noodles were fresh, amount of meat was generous, and broth was super flavorful. Also unlike the Chinese owned pho places, the XL size here really does mean XL! Lady taking care of the front is attentive and friendly. The food doesn't come out super quick like the other pho restaurants but it's still relatively quick and the pho is definitely worth the extra few minutes! read more

Mi Mi Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

There soup is always good but beef quality n quantity compare to other pho restaurant is not as good n 10-20% less. There dry pho with lemon grass pork chops are the best in Toronto. I think there price has gone up. Not sure. read more

The owners here are all very friendly. I go to Mi Mi when I crave porkchop and chicken on rice. I usually get them to make me a sunny side up egg as an extra. This dish here is one of their better dishes. I find that Vietnamese restaurants in general usually have a few dishes they are known for - whereas everything else is ok. Their pho and vermicelli dishes are just all ok. Their rices dishes are better than most other viet places. They are also known for their shrimp dumplings in broth with noodles on the side as well. Everything is preference and this place is above average then most Vietnamese restaurant. I have been coming here for years and 95% of the time their dishes are quite consistent. However, there are those odd times where their dishes have been disappointing. You cannot rule this place out, there is a reason why they are able to charge a little more for their dishes than the other Vietnamese restaurants nearby and why they are usually quite busy. read more

We were in the area and felt like Pho there were several restaurants around and decided on this one based on Yelp and because it was quite busy. -service was EXTREMELY slow, especially for a bowl of soup I've never waited so long at any Pho restaurant - the soup broth was ok, but there was barely any meat but a whole lot of noodles very disappointed, I was still hungry at the end I was already thinking of grabbing a shawarma on the way home. read more

I ordered the combo beef, shrimp, and spring roll bun and and iced coffee to go and was left feeling pretty disappointed. For $15 I got maybe 2 sugarcane shrimp and 3 chewy bits of beef without much flavor. I have to agree with the other reviewer that the service is the best part of this place. While I waited for my order they gave me some green tea to sip on and my order was ready in 5-10 mins. read more

This is probably the best tasting Pho place i've been to. Broth is clean, and the noodles are very fresh. the Shrimp Rolls are great as well. My Pho standard is the Pho Tai Nam, Rare beef/brisket in XL. I have eaten here regularly for the last year. BUT.... Three out of the four of us noticed a fruit fly in our broth. one of the bowls of Pho had two fly's! such a bad break for such a good restaurant. I hope they do get a hold of their fly situation. talking to the server, apparently it happens when the weather gets suddenly warm. The front of the store is covered....in spider webs and fruit fly's that night we went. hopefully they will take care of that the next time i come by but I lost the appetite fast.... If it wasn't for this fly issue, i'd give this place a 5 star. best tasting pho by a longshot, friendly serving staff, and relatively 'clean', this place deserves a make over to take it to the next level... and a pest control inspection... read more

I honestly think that anyone would enjoy food at Mi Mi's. It's just that good. But if you are a fan of healthy light food, this is a perfect place for you. Food is flavorful, ingredients are fresh and you will get more than enough food for a good price. I love going there with friends and order fresh rolls which you get to make on your own. Makes the experience more fun! Personal favourite: avocado smoothie. read more

See all

We had a hankering for Vietnamese food and wanted to try a new place. The photos and reviews for MiMi looked promising and rather familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on whether we had eaten there before. We ordered the grilled lemongrass chicken with rice and the build-it-yourself wraps with grilled pork and sugar cane shrimp. Ordering and picking up our meal was great as the lady taking our order was friendly and charming. It's upon pulling up to the front to pick up the food that it occurred to me we did eat here, probably close to 10 years ago. I wondered why we had never revisited this place that got such high praise; we are loyal, repeat customers when the getting's good. The food smelled amazing during the ride home and everything looked fresh when we opened the packaging. Then we took a bite and it was just meh. The flavour and texture of both the chicken and pork did not have that have that juicy grilled garlicky-ness that you would find in your average place. It was just ok. The dipping sauce for the wraps also lacked the tangy saltiness you would normally find in the sauces you pour over vermicelli, let's say. Instead it was rather on the sweet side and lacked depth. I could understand if they were trying something different in their preparation, but the execution just didn't do it for me as the flavours were lacklustre at best. I now know why we did not return after all this time. At least they're consistent! read more

My go-to spot for warm vietnamese treatment in Toronto. The vermiccelli fix for lunch, in any combination, is simply UNBEATABLE. read more

This is by far my favourite restaurant. To say I am a regular is an understatement. The only thing better then the food is the outstanding service. When you find a place that you love, sometimes it's difficult to articulate why it's so special, for me this is that place. I have considered ordering takeout or delivery from Mi Mi. However, it would mean that I would miss out on getting served my meals by the outstanding family that has owned this gem on Gerrard Street East forever. read more

The outside of this place is pretty nondescript and upon entering it's also apparent little to no effort has been put into the decor. But that's okay, as what they lack in ambiance is made up for by arguably the best Vietnamese comfort food in the city. Bun noodles are good and pretty standard fare, but the Pho Broth is where this place really stands out. Clear and flavourful, the broth in the noodle soups is as much a part of the meal as the noodles and filling. I drink every drop! I've been where I'm the only one in the restaurant or other times when it's full, quality is always great. Cash only. read more

I love pho - Tried many restaurants around the city - this is the best and best price. Quality, service, the whole package.

We've been eating here for years. Favourite pho place, hands down. We have lived in Toronto, Burlington and Mississauga, and always come back to Mimi's whenever we can. read more

What a lovely family owned restaurant! We come here regularly, and have always been so impressed by the food and the customer service. I know some people complain about how it's cash only. I honestly don't mind. I think it's awesome that they have such a huge following that they can still do cash only! read more

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Toronto. Their pho broth is perfectly seasoned, the staff are friendly, the prices are good, and theyre open late. What else could one want? read more

Our go-to place for Vietnamese food! This place is no frills, but cranks out authentic spring rolls, pho, rice dishes and vermicelli. Service is friendly enough and fast. I always order deep fried spring rolls and pho (chicken broth) with BBQ pork. Now, the key to a delicious pho is to season it properly. The BBQ pork comes on a side plate so dump that in right away along with the bean sprouts and those beautiful fresh Thai basil leaves. Squeeze the juice of a lime wedge or two in. Add a touch of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha and chilies. Perfect! read more

I had the grilled pork with vermicelli and do it yourself platter here. Both very very tasty although I probably would have preferred a little more meat in the vermicelli dish. Next time I will just pay more for extra meat - problem solved! Otherwise I really enjoyed their food, and the platter was huge with lots of protein! read more

Good Pho but not the best. My friend Stanley had the grilled chicken on rice, I tasted his, it was very good.. I can only give this place 3 stars simply because now so many mediocre Pho places around. The staff where over friendly, sometimes I don't want that much attention and just want to enjoy my food. I feel lucky to have so many Pho places in Toronto to choose from. read more

This was truly great! Every time I'm sick, I NEED Pho soup in my life and this place did just that for me. This was the first time I tried Pho in my area and I was impressed. The people here were super sweet and the food was excellent. I ordered a chicken Pho and my husband had a pork and rice dish (can't remember the name of it now) but we were both very happy with our food. Just go there and see! read more

In a sea of pho restaurants in this area, my friend brought me to this place since he lives in the area assuring me it was decent. The service is acceptable, not great or bad. The plus is they have Chinese broccoli as a side veggie option. The spring rolls were not good, the broccoli was undercooked, the pho noodles were cold, and there was not much meat compared to other pho restaurants even though I ordered a large size. We were also the only patrons on a Sunday at 11am. It's a family run restaurant so I like to support the little guys but next time I'll try another pho restaurant in the area. read more

I started eating here around 18 years ago and this neighbourhood Vietnamese spot is still to this day always great. While the menu is extensive and authentic my go to meal is the BQ pork with spring rolls. Generous portion of noodles with loads of fresh crisp veggies make this a healthy filling value priced dinner. Give this spot a try and bet in 10 years you will be making a weekly pilgrimage to MI Mi's has I have for going on 20 years! read more

The only reason I come here is for the bbq food the fresh roll platter,vermicelli noodle bowls etc I don't even know why anyone would order pho here as it's not that good. Probably my 2nd or 3rd time here because the service is slow I timed it about 25-30mins to bring our food!? Ridiculous as another table came in after us and got their food first,even when I asked for the bill they didn't bring it to us why is that so hard??? Seems like there is only 1 person in the back kitchen I ended up going to the front to pay Yes they only take cash but that's like most Asian restaurants so better have cash on you Food was good had the platter but the hot water to dip the rice paper was in a plastic bowl they should actually be using the proper container which would also save a lot of space as our table was small read more

Not bad -- of all the 'East Chinatown' Vietnamese joints, this probably has the friendliest service from the Cantonese speaking ladies. And, oddly enough, has a large rainbow flag decal on the window. I've had the dac biet (house special pho) twice here. The pho broth is very light in colour but packs decent flavour. However, I felt the beef bits subpar -- these is no rare beef and everything comes fully cooked. I would suggest going with the pho tai or asking them to have the rare beef on the side. I have to give the edge to Bach Yen for my favourite Vietnamese joint in East Chinatwon, but Mi Mi is a decent alternative. Drop by here because my girlfriend prefers the vegetarian options here. read more

Typical Asian fare, good price, fair service but really lacking in making it a great place. The poor fish in the tank look abused, they are not given enough room to move around and it made me sad while I ate. :( read more

This pho was so fucking bad I couldn't even find a rating for how shit it was. Constructive criticism don't dilute the broth

Come here for rice, vermcelli, and do-it-yourself platters. Noodle in soup dishes should be avoided. Friendly service, but can be slow during peak hours. Pretty average prices, huge menu - a lot of selection. read more

Mi Mi is amazing, open late and great quality food for the price. We had the BBQ lemongrass chicken and the "make your own cold spring roll platter with beef"... The latter on its own would be enough to feed a couple of people. The service was very quick and super friendly. A local fave. read more

I love Mi Mi! I eat Mi Mi at least once a month; dine in, take out and delivery. I've tried most of the menu but always go back to the pork bun vermicelli. The pork is seasoned nicely and it's well done, so it's crispy and lean, not fatty at all. The owners are lovely too. read more

ordered a rice dish. the bbq pork chop and boneless chicken thigh. also added an egg. it was a bit pricey, coming in at over $13 before tax and tips. but the portions were big. also comes with a bowl of soup which is a nice unexpected gesture. food was a bit slower to arrive than other pho places but it didn't disappoint. i'd definitely come back to try out some other stuff they have. read more

Visiting from out of town with my family and we had an excellent lunch at Mi Mi. They were very accommodating of my young children and brought extra soup to the table for them. The food was delicious and was very fresh. read more

I rate 2.5 stars and have deleted my previous review. I believe ownership has changed and quality/taste has suffered. Pho soup base is bland and beef balls did not taste fresh. Prices have increased quite a bit. Bowl of vermicelli is $8.95 whereas I usually pay somewhere in the $7 range for the same dish. Bun with grilled pork and spring rolls. Mediocre and would likely, not go back. It's a real shame since I've been there on a few occasions and considered it the place for Pho in East Chinatown read more

Im torn about this place. I've been a few times and have enjoyed their pho and other times it's a tad bland. I like they have various size for pho as some other places only have 1 size. But what is consistant and soooo addictive is their assorted mixed meat fresh rolls. You get a huge platter of meat where you roll yourself. It's awesome and highly addictive. I love it sooooo much!!!! Their service is always kind and warming...I just had a couple of experience where the broth is a touch bland. But of course I keep coming back so the food is of good quality. read more

The kindness of the staff, the delicious food and they low prices...... What else could you ask for during a mid-week quick family meal at a local restaurant. read more

Nice service. Ordered vermicelli grilled pork, everything is good except the pork. It was kind of dry

Best BBQ chicken and pork on rice, and nice service! just a little slow though...

We dont come here for Pho. We live in Vaughan but would drive here for its do-it-yourself-platters. Sooooo delicious and worth the drive. Writing this makes me want to make the drive there now... read more

I've been going to Mi Mi's for at least 5 years now - probably once every 2 months. What a gem. It's close to home, the food is excellent, it's clean, family friendly, and the owner and staff are really nice and friendly - I can't say the same for all the pho restaurants I've been to in Toronto. The weekends get pretty busy though, so go early if you can. There is a great selection of food. My faves are spring rolls, fresh rolls, rice platter with beef and pork, and bun hue add tripe (spicy!), and mango or avocado smoothie - to new a few. The prices are fair but worth it because of the quality of food and the excellent service. read more
