Asian-owned fried chicken in the middle of the neighborhood...respect. The first thing you notice about Mimi's at 3748 W. Division St. is that it's clearly well-known in the community. This walk-up, hole-in-the-wall spot feels like a true neighborhood gem, and it stands out because of the food and the energy it brings to the block. Mimi, the owner, is often there taking orders herself, which adds a personal touch you don't always get. The menu is huge and full of comfort food staples, wings, chicken thighs, legs, French toast, eggs, beef over rice, shrimp, gyros, and more. It really feels like a mix of classic "hood staples" done in a very intentional way. My first experience was actually at a block party when I saw people in the neighborhood with trays of food from Mimi's. I had to track it down after that, and I've been back three times since. The food is solid, and they also offer catering for larger events (which I could easily see working for something like a Super Bowl gathering). A couple of things to note: this is a busy walk-up spot, so it's best to call ahead if possible. If they don't answer, you may just need to stop in and wait, my longest wait has been around 30 minutes. Also, it's a good idea to double-check your order before leaving, as small things can occasionally get missed. Overall, Mimi's is a staple on West Division. The food is consistent, the menu is extensive, and the community clearly supports it. 5 out of 5 stars. read more

MIMI'S - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Even though this is an order and go spot, the food is always on point. Ms. Mimi knows how to treat her customers and seasons her food with care. I've ordered from here several times and can say that I have yet to be disappointed. Hopefully there will come a time that she opens up a st down brick and mortar restaurant where you can sit and enjoy the meals she and her staff prepare. read more

Need to hire better cooks an have faster service because their machine wasn't working to complete orders

It takes a long time to place an order. Expect a 30-45 minute wait on you food. I may say I ordered chicken and it was good. But you got to be a person of patience. read more

This spot is hit or miss. The chicken wings are delicious but not all the time. Mimi's is my first and favorite place to get wings.

One of the best restaurants on the Westside!!! I love the customers service are very nice and food is delicious!!

This chicken stays crispy and is well seasoned. 10/10 do recommend! Usually I need hot sauce or ketchup, this chicken really didn't need anything. The flavor was balanced. read more

I came for the chicken but fell in love with the fish. I'm not a catfish fillet person normally. I like Country style catfish. But BABY this fish right here was fresh crispy and delicious even the next morning I saved my fries for the air fryer and I had a piece of fish left I popped that cold fish in my mouth and did a dance. It's was pleasure read more

Her Food Is Soo Good An They Actually Listen To How You Want Your Food Cooked She A Cash Only

Great chicken. Mimi is super friendly. I love gizzards and I love wings so I love this place because Mimi does it the best. The taco cheese fries are just good junk food. It's a bed of fries covered in nacho cheese, ground beef, sour cream, jalapeño, lettuce, and tomatoes. Super cheap prices and large portions. They currently don't have a phone so just walk up to the window! read more

See all

The banner says it all: Mimi's - The Best Chicken. Mimi has mastered all of the traditional greasy spoon comfort food favorites: Fried chicken w/mild sauce, gyros, super tacos. I have never heard anyone utter a bad word about the food from Mimi's. read more

I'm glad that I decided to try this place after discovering the phone number was disconnected. I was so damn hungry. I ordered a super taco and 6 wings. The super taco was great and was the same style of taco I would have for lunch growing up. The wings were also good. Because you have to wait outside, the restaurant has that real Chicago feel to it. When my order was taken I asked how long would take and was told 5 minutes and the food was ready in about 7 minutes. I am so glad these small establishments a hanging in there and not giving up during these trying times. read more

When I drove by and saw the huge orange sign that said The Best Chicken and a line of people up the block I had to do a u-turn and go back to try it. It was totally worth the wait for big hot crispy legs and thighs on a pile of fries served with hot&reg sauce and a couple pieces of bread. The 2pc meal is less than $4 and the 6pc is $6. I also ordered a sm catfish. Its anything but small. Its 4 juicy flaky deep fried pieces of catfish also served with coleslaw fries bread and your choice of sauce. $7.50. CASH ONLY read more

We love mimis fried chicken! Not only does it taste great , it has great prices! The gyro,chicken gyro and fries are also good! read more

Went here yesterday with my sister and she ordered fish (perch and catfish), plus chicken wings. Let me just say that as far as comfort food is concerned, both dinners were good. The fish and chicken were both well seasoned. I'd recommend this place for a quick bite but order ahead because it gets a little crowded as its a small place and there are no seats. read more

Love Mimi's food and prices, but if you're on foot there's nothing to shelter you from the cold !

Chicken wings are some of the best in the city. Given the circumstances from the economy, they have competitive prices. My only complaint is the walk-up window is the only way to order your food. But, the food is good enough to stand and wait. read more
