Came on a Sunday around 8pm. Place is tucked away in a corner and has about 10 tables for seating inside but it was pretty empty when we were there. The food was good and reasonably priced, parking was easy. But the outstanding variable was that service was amazing. Got food to-go and the person who was working the counter/kiosk was so nice. Offered us water and even to sit while we waited for our order. He also had such a bright and happy attitude which made my day. I got: - California Roll ($7.95 - 8 pieces) - Sizzling Beef Udon ($16.95) - Sizzling Eel Rice ($18.95) The sushi was packed nicely and the beef udon and eel rice was gushing with flavor. Would definitely come back to try other things. read more

BACK. AT. IT. AGAIN. This time, got the seared mango salmon pressed sushi ( Always good. Never disappoints) , sake maki ( simple, straightforward, good price point: ~$6-7), and the sizzling garlic pepper beef plate ( better than sizzling lunch). The staff seated us right away and you order through QR code. They're always very attentive and brought water refills when we were low, even before we asked! Ambiance has not changed since my last review. Still cozy and friendly looking. As always, 10/10. LOVE THIS PLACE. read more

A Delicious Little Find On our way to a restaurant nearby, we stumbled across Mimi's--and what a lucky find! Everything was perfect from the moment we walked in. The location is small and intimate, with light music playing and the cutest decor. My daughter and I noticed it right away. We scanned the QR code for the menu, and honestly, everything sounded so good that choosing was hard! I went with the Chicken Roman, and after just a few bites, we had to stop eating to let our server know how delicious everything was. Everything was hot, sizzling, and incredibly fresh. The flavors were some of the best sushi flavors I've tasted! My family and I already can't wait to go back. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out! read more

Whoa! That's what happens when you eat super delicious food! We saw this spot on Tik Tok and wanted to give it a try. We had the pork belly and shrimp pepper rice.

This is a nice restaurant tucked away in a shopping center and definitely worth seeking out. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced for the quality. The katsu chicken with sizzling rice was outstanding, and the Dragon Roll was equally impressive. My only real complaint was the ordering process. Instead of traditional paper menus, everyone at the table had to order individually on their phones. For a large group, it turned into a confusing and somewhat frustrating experience. People were ordering at different times, it was difficult to keep track of what everyone had selected, and because you couldn't hear others placing their orders as you would with a traditional menu, coordinating appetizers or avoiding duplicate items was challenging. It also seemed to create extra confusion for the waitstaff. I can see this system working well for a solo diner or a couple, but for larger groups, I think a more traditional ordering option would make for a much smoother experience. Despite that, the outstanding food more than made up for the inconvenience, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Really tasty fish felt fresh and good size servings, unfortunately their yelp menu is not accurately updated. I got the Yellowtail sashimi which the menu said 4 pieces but when i called to place my order they said it was only 3 pieces but they were a larger portion. The seared salmon roll was not much of a roll rather than fish stacked on rice but I still enjoyed the flavors, too much rice for this plate. I also ordered a side of seaweed salad which was fresh and filled more than enough for two people. The people working were very attentive on the phone and the food was ready for pick up once I arrived. I would come back to try more rolls hoping for a better fish to rice ratio. read more

Great hidden gem at Blossom Valley and Snell, serving everything from sushi to ramen to sizzling rice plates to hot pot and more. Enjoyed my sizzling, eel rice ($17) and asked to add green onions. I feel like the plate could've been hotter so that I could get that crisped rice, but I can always take it home and fry it again. Service was very efficient and friendly. read more

Was looking forward to coming back here after being gone for a couple of months, and I have to say the food definitely did not live up to my expectations. The quality of the food here has gone down significantly since I first started coming here. I usually come here once a week or so, and the food is normally great! Today (at around 1pm) I ordered some edamame, miso soup, a 49ers roll, and a Philly roll. The restaurant was busy, but not completely packed. Below are my thoughts on the food today: The edamame was lukewarm and had a decent amount of salt on it, but was not hot and was a bit mushy. The miso soup had to be the biggest letdown so far. It tasted like water and had absolutely no miso soup flavor whatsoever. On the bright side, there was no absence of tofu or seaweed which I loved! The 49ers roll was painful to eat because of the thick lemon slices on top. They used to be thin and enjoyable to eat, now it's gross having to crunch through the thick lemon skin to eat the roll. And finally the Philly roll, this is my favorite roll here because the price is great and the roll itself it usually great. They used to make it with smoked salmon and put a nice dried topping on top of the roll to give it great flavor. Unfortunately today I was unimpressed with this roll. The salmon did not taste smoked, and the overall flavor was quite bland. I would come back here because I love the vibe inside the restaurant and I have a history with this restaurant. I know they can do better, but if this was my first time here I'm not sure I would come back. As a new customer, you may find it difficult ordering on your cell phone and the cell service is quite spotty in this area depending on what service provider you have. As far as I know, they do not offer free WiFi during business hours to assist in connecting to the ordering website which can be quite annoying having to load the webpage without a stable connection. read more

No idea why it took me so long to finally try Mimi's Kitchen, but this place is a great little hole-in-the-wall gem. Plenty of parking made it easy, and right when you walk in, you're welcomed with friendly service and warm hospitality. The menu has a solid variety of Asian options, from ramen, sizzling plates, sushi and more so there's something for everyone. Everything we ordered was really tasty and well-prepared. You can tell they care about the food and the overall experience. Definitely coming back to try more items. Worth it and highly recommended! read more

My boyfriend and I found this place on TikTok and gave it a try last night. The restaurant was very cute and clean! The service was very fast and friendly. It was packed when we got there, but they seated us very quickly. I liked the ordering system where you scan the QR and order yourself. I haven't seen that in restaurants here in the US! The food was also SUPER tasty!!! The menu had so many great options, we didn't know what to choose. We definitely will be going back to try more! read more

Craving a bunch of Asian food but not really sure what exactly? Mimi's Kitchen is an excellent choice since it has everything. From udon, sizzling plates, ramen, sushi, to hot pot. This place is great for indecisive groups. I've had their udon a year back and thought that was just okay. However, I decided to try their sushi tonight via DoorDash and was blown away by the presentation and quality of the sushi. All three of the rolls were excellent and this will be my go-to spot for sushi. This place is just down the street from my home, so I'll be sure to try other items in person. read more

Cute lil hole in the wall restaurant in the blossom hill area! Tucked in semi concealed corner of the aqui parking lot Mimi's kitchen is pretty easy to miss. Inside decor is minimal. You order via QR code at your table, but you pay with a server. We got the cucumber salad and 2 tonkatsu ramens. Loved everything we ate! Portions are really big for the price. Ramen had all the toppings and a generous amount of meat. It wasn't the best ramen I've had in my life, but for the price, pretty dang good. I'd like to come back and try their sushi rolls. read more

MiMi's Kitchen - Beef pepper rice , salmon roll, Pork Belly Ramen Noodle - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Jose, California

When I say hole in the wall, I mean hole in the wall. Literally circled the entire lot of the plaza like a lost puppy before I realized I had driven right past it. It is a tiny restaurant nestled in between CVS and another business, I forget what. But there is a tree blocking their signage and the additional small stand-up sign barely draws enough attention to the location. Restaurant is small, but the service is prompt and friendly. You order through a QR code on the table and all mobile devices ordering from the same table will have their orders consolidated. Beef Udon stir fry is tasty, but as many have said, on the sweeter side. Loooooove the texture and chew of the udon noodles. Very springy, almost like korean rice cakes or gnocchi. Sake chirashi bowl was delicious too. Would be nice if the wasabi was on the side. My daughter loves sashimi but can't handle when the wasabi touches the fish. Too spicy for her. Freshness of the fish is good. It's not the luxury cut of salmon, but the quality is still very worthwhile. Can't go wrong with Cali Roll, sweet potato fries, and spring rolls (fried egg rolls). Kids gobbled them right up. My bestie also ordered a sizzling plate which she finished just as quickly. Definitely RECOMMEND this spot for small get togethers, party of 5 or less. They may not have much in sushi variety, but what they dish up, they serve with pride with modest prices. Cheers to the sweet woman who gave our kids lollipops after their meal. Very family friendly. read more

*Food* This is my third time going here and I love it every time! Ordered the 49'er roll (my go-to roll at sushi spots), seared salmon pressed sushi, and salmon sashimi bowl. Every roll was so yummy. The ingredients, especially the fish, tasted very fresh. I can tell they took their time to make each dish look presentable. The sushi to rice ratio was also balanced (not too much rice) and uniform all around. *Service* The service was good. The server was attentive. Food didn't take very long to come out even with a full restaurant. One thing to note is you scan a QR to order. I typically prefer a paper menu, but they had photos and the servers were attentive so it was no problem at all. *Ambiance* The inside decor is cute and modern. Sound levels were quiet to medium. I like the plates that they served the food on as well. Overall, very clean. read more

Service was also very nice and friendly. I appreciate the take-out packaging! It was so thoughtfully packed and the bag was nice and reusable And all the rolls were delicious! My favorite was the Golden train roll. And I also got the Spicy tuna roll and super California roll. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place is unassuming - in the corner of the plaza on snell and blossom hill. Plenty of parking. Super cute decor and friendly employees. I was a little nervous because they have a big menu - sizzling plates, hot pot, udon, sushi and more. However, I was really pleasantly surprised that our food was delicious! Sizzling katsu plate - a large portion of well-seasoned rice, chicken katsu, corn, and green onions served with gravy on the side. Cheesy corn - ok this is not good for you and very indulgent, but it was so good. Buttery corn with tons of cheese baked on top- it just worked! Sushi - we tried the lion king roll and the 49ers roll and both were really good. Also, their packaging for to-go orders is unreal- beautiful and functional. Every little detail is thought of and I can't wait to go back. read more

Discovered a hidden gem in a super convenient spot for a dinner meet-up. It's tucked away in the plaza behind a nail salon, so it's easy to miss if you're just driving by. We got there around 6pm and were the only ones in the restaurant, which had me a little skeptical at first. But about 30 minutes later, the place quickly filled up so glad we came early and snagged a table! For 4, we ordered: - 2x sizzling short rib pepper rice - sizzling pork katsu w/curry sauce - chicken udon soup - ika shoga yaki Since we were the first to order, everything came out pretty quickly. The dishes arrived on hot stone plates, sizzling with a cloud of smoke. Just be sure to stir or mix so nothing sticks to the bottom. Every dish was flavorful, portions were generous, and honestly, each plate was more than enough for one person (with room to share). read more

This place is one of my favorite ramen places to go to in San Jose. I don't eat pork and they have beef, chicken and a veggie option for ramen that are into only good but under$15. Their sushi is also pretty good and I have had their udon bowls and LOVE them. On top of that it is very clean and the staff are always very friendly . I used to go often when I lived in south side but now when I find myself in that area, I try to eat there:) read more

Cute and cozy interior. Employees are very kind and friendly. Ordered takeout on a Thursday evening and it was ready in ~10 minutes. Ordered the cherry blossom roll and the mango sake roll. They packed everything in a nice high quality insulated bag, and the sushi rolls were in a nice wooden box and presented beautifully! Both rolls were delicious and fresh with generous large pieces of fish. At first I thought the mango sake roll could've used more ingredients since it mainly only had salmon and mango, but the mango was so fresh and sweet and the salmon pieces were huge so it ended up being an excellent refreshing roll. Overall very satisfied with the presentation of everything and the food. Portions are also generous for the affordable prices. Would come back! read more

This is a hidden gem we found right off blossom hill. My husband and I ordered poke, two hand rolls, sashimi, and one roll through uber eats. I absolutely loved how they packaged everything, nothing was spilled over soaking into the fish/rice, it was all perfectly plated. All of the fish were very fresh and good quality cuts. My only knock was the amount of onions and sauce for the poke as it took away from the fish. This most likely will become a popular spot we will frequent too! read more

Another birthday lunch another place to check out. Birthday girl picked this place so the entire team came out for lunch. We arrived a group of about 10 and tables were moved around quickly to seat us down. Still spacious seating even with all of us together. It's a well decorated space and plenty of seating all around. We were told to scan the QR code and order when we were ready. The menu had a variety of things and the longer I stared at it I wanted something different. I ended up for the beef sizzling plate. While we were waiting for our food water was brought out. Infused with lemon it was delicious and refreshing. It actually taste like infused lemon cold water. Super refreshing! My dish came out sizzling hot and I was told to move it around quickly so my meat would cook (I was busy taking photos of it lol). I moved it all around and my meat cooked evenly. The dish itself is a simple rice dish with corn and meat. It was all delicious and I have plenty of rice leftover once I got full. The only thing I noticed was if you didn't move the rice quick enough it burned under and got hard which was not delicious texture to enjoy eating. Service was good and the lady refilled our waters promptly. With a large variety of items I look forward to visiting again this little tucked in restaurant I didn't know was there! read more

One of my favorite local places! This is perfect for when you want sushi but also other dishes, like sizzling plates. I like the sizzling udon and sushi rolls here. One thing I would skip is the tuna poke don. I tried it once and was underwhelmed. The onions were overpowering and the tuna had a firm texture, not melt-in-your mouth. It's tucked behind/next to Kitchen Nails but is pretty easy to find. There's plenty of parking in the plaza. read more

Their version of sizzling lunch was terrific and their fish on sushi is actually pretty generous! If you're craving Asian food but not sure if you want hot pot, sushi, to even sizzling lunch, you'll be in for a surprise that Mimi's Kitchen can make it all. I'm surprised I've never tried Mimi's Kitchen, being that it's so hard to notice without looking closely in a little corner but glad to know that this place exists to fill my craving for sizzling lunch and sushi at the same time. On a weekend, ordered a sizzling lunch plate and sushi here and was pleasantly surprised that they made them really good! Most places that seem to try to make everything only make everything average or less, but based on what I tried and seen so far, Mimi's actually does a good job on the food quality. Staff here are friendly and seems like a family owned establishment, and the size of the place is a bit small but not a big deal. Price wise was average to be expected and worth it in the end. You'll see the place generally full of diners so that's a good sign that this place does seem to be thriving. With their menu being so full of many dishes to try, I can definitely say I'll be back to try some more--especially on my indecisive days for any Asian food. Well worth the visit and recommendation on my end! read more

Came here with my mum right when they opened one Sunday morning. There was only one other group when we were seated, but the restaurant was almost full by the time we were done and the palce seems popular for takeout orders. You access their menu by scanning a QR code and order for your table. Food came out very quickly (about 15 minutes). What we got: sizzling katsu (3/5) -- rice, corn, katsu, mushroom, and curry sauce on the side. Curry is good, the garlic butter they serve with it is good but they add too much of it, and corn is a good addition. Even though the katsu was crispy, the meat (you get a ton of it) was very dry and some pieces were just cartilage eel sizzling plate (3/5) -- good flavor and different from usual eel preparation, but again the garlic butter they dollop on is really rich and made it difficult for me to finish the plate. I think maybe something more acidic or giving the butter on the side would help with this. jala machi roll (3/5) -- there was a lot of rice compared to the rest of the ingredients. It was not seasoned very well and it was also hard, so the texture of each bite was off. Otherwise, the flavor of the roll is very good though I would not recommend for those who do not like sweet sushi because there is unagi sauce The portion sizes are definitely worth the price and the service are worth it if you enjoy Asian fusion food and/or want a little bit of everything. Final score would be 3.5 stars. read more

Surprisingly decent contemporary Japanese/Korean food. I got their beef sizzling plate (I like Pepper Lunch a lot but no longer the one in Milpitas, I think it went downhill around COVID and hasn't really tasted the same, also I think they branched off and are different than the main Pepper Lunch corp from Japan, the ones in SoCal and Vegas are legit though). It was tasty and a sushi roll appetizer that was good too. I was skeptical at first because their menu is pretty much everywhere. From sushi, to sizzling plates, to udon, to chirashi/don bowls. Usually from my experience restaurants struggle with offering such a wide variety. Now as far as what I ordered goes, it tasted great. I'm not sure how the udon is, nor do I know how the chirashi/don bowls are. If I'm in the area I'd probably come back again, it's convenient but hidden. Place is clean and service was nice! read more

This is one of my family's go-to spots for dinner. I love that their menu has a variety of options to choose from, including sizzling rice, fry udon, sushi, ramen, udon soup, personal hot pots, and more. You can't go wrong with their fry udon dishes - my favorite is the beef fry udon, but the seafood and chicken ones are also solid. The workers are all very friendly and accommodating, and there is plenty of parking in the plaza where they're located, too. While the interior of the restaurant is on the smaller side, I've never had to wait long to be seated. I hope to try one of their hot pots the next time I visit! read more

Gee, I'm finding myself eating here a lot! Tried something new this time. It's a hot pot. With beef, mushrooms, tofu, glass noodles, and veggies. I really think one order is good enough for two people. But if course my eyes are bigger than my stomach, as usual, and ordered California roll and hamachi nigiri. And then I was FULL! The one thing they can improve is they to serve hot tea. I mean, it's all Asian food here. So we asked for hot water instead. Guess what, no hot water. Service is quick because toy order with a QR code and the website allows you to ping them electronically. They come right away. It's a low lit, comforting style decor. It's not too packed together.

After work my daughter and I were hungry, J asked her to pick a place. She did a Google search for dumplings and found this place! It's located in the shopping center on the corner of Snell and Blossom Hill near CVS. I always pass by this shopping center, this is a hidden gem! I ordered the Korean Short Rib Sizzling Plate, my daughter ordered Gyoza, Shrimp Tempura, Blossom Roll, Dragon, Lion King. You use a QR code at the table to order. The food comes out hot! I enjoyed the Sizzling Plate. It has corn, rice, red onion, green onion. My daughter loves sushi so she was a happy camper! They have all her other favorite Asian cuisine- Ramen, Udon, Hot Pot! We will definitely be coming back! I was concerned they were slow because we arrived and there were no customers, but they get a steady flow of Delivery orders and dine in customers trickle in. We arrived around 5pm, they had just opened around 4:30/4:45. We will be back to try more things. I noticed as we left that there are other restaurants too, we will have to try them!
