We returned on Wednesday night to discover the business had closed several months ago and that they were replaced by a new Asian Gourmet called Vanhs. They passed on their original recipes, so hopefully the great Thai food tradition would live on in Hamilton. Every one of the meals we ate at Mimi's was superb. We really enjoyed it here and will miss the family. We're looking forward to dinner at the new Vanhs and will keep everyone posted. 11/25

Right now they still do TakeOut Only. The Staff is…read moreFriendly. The Space is compact. They just opened for the day and cleaning products were still on tables. They do have 'some' Vegan Dishes. They do have 'some' Gluten-free Dishes. For 1 Entree + 1 Appetizer the Cost was $30.54 All In. Not including a Tip Between 10-12% too high priced for this Neighborhood. They should offer Takeout Specials with 10% Off to increase Business and To Incentivize Customer Retention. The Food is definitely Tasty and made with Care. But I'm taking a Star off for being over priced.

I always thought that Peking duck was a large family dish that you eat once in a while during a…read morebanquet. However, Xihe Peking Duk makes it an approachable every day fast food item. You can come on your own and still enjoy a great Peking duck. We were feeling greedy, so we got the combo which came with the Peking duck, fries, quackwich with two drinks. We added the popcorn duck on the side. It was a lot of fried food, however, every item was well made and delicious. The duck was great, with crispy skin and good amount of meat without being too greasy. I particularly enjoyed the duck bones, as the little bits of meat and cartilage was fun to nibble on.

I tried to get a feel when I bought a snack in person and next time time I ordered a combo version. They package things very well with dedicated packaging for all the items and condiments. The crepe are worth a special mention as they are individually separated with parchment. All the items arrived nice and warm though I live very close by. The duck itself is ok but I wasn't expecting a high end version but considering the price point I would say worth it especially if one can't get a group of people to join in. 3.5 stars

We ordered the wontons and potstickers for appetizers and the Mongolian combos which we got one with beef and the other with chicken. The combos came with eggrolls and drinks.

Despite the size of the takeout, they really pack it down with not just noodles but protein as well and everything was served up piping hot and fresh. Highly recommend checking this spot out for a great bang for your buck!

Recently in the area helping my daughter move into Mac U and found this nearby restaurant for…read morelunch. After reading some reviews, I almost changed my mind from coming. We were quite impressed with the food here...it's actually very authentic northern style Chinese food. If you are not familiar with the food in this region, I can see why some people had negative comments. My advice to you if you are not familiar with some of their menu items, order the fried rice/noodles and fried dumplings and not items like chicken with ginger & scallion sauce. The latter dish is actually a popular Chinese chicken dish that is not commonly offered in Chinese westernized restaurants. I did see a photo of this dish on google soaking in oil which doesn't look too appealing so I would request for the ginger onion oil sauce on the side (maybe it's prepared in Northern style?). I will definitely try it on my next visit. We got the shrimp fried rice and beef brisket udon in beef bone soup. Both dishes were good and I was surprised that there were quite a few large shrimps in the rice. The soup base was a bit bland but the beef brisket was tender and flavourful. Highly recommend this dish if you are looking for comfort food. Make sure you ask for their chilli sauce which is great for the beef brisket! My favourite dish was #519 fried tofu...this was perfectly done and I requested the sauce to be on the side. The best way to eat fried tofu is to dip the hot crispy tofu with a bit of the sauce! The pan fried dumplings were only okay but they did serve it well with vinegar sauce! I will definitely be coming back on my visits to MAC U.

Before COVID-19 surfaced, I'd accompany my manager to conduct interviews with intern candidates at…read morea handful of Ontario universities. We recently reminisced about going to Bao Sandwich Bar for lunch between interviews at the University of Waterloo. I had mentioned to him that it had a second location in Mississauga, roughly a fifteen-minute drive from our workplace. He said that when we were both in the office, he'd only want to go there for lunch with me. It's nice that he trusts my judgment when it comes to eateries. I also believe that he likes my company. A couple of Wednesdays ago, he asked what I was doing for lunch. I normally hit Treats nearby. He wasn't feeling it. I said that we could go here and provided some details, including its online menu and such. I also asked him if he had any meetings. I'm that type of a planner, down to the departure time. He was game. I said that we should leave at 11:15 am. The place opens at 11:30 am. He had a meeting at 1 pm. I wanted a leisurely, unrushed lunch. Done! I drove us over there. With my lead foot, it was more like thirteen minutes, without hitting any highway. Like the Bao place in Waterloo, this one is also located on a lower level of a plaza, with a tall building at the top of this hill. I parked in front of the eatery. We walked in. We were the first customers. It looks like the place kept some of the seating from the previous business that occupied the place. The upholstery looked shabby. Otherwise, the rest of the eatery was spruced up. I got a combo consisting of these items: - Crackle belly bao - Korean garlic chicken bao - Purple flower lemonade - Dynasty duck poutine My manager got the following items: - Dynasty duck bao - Thai yum pork bao - House salad - Thai tea I took a star away because I wasn't expecting my order to be $40! It was okay for the large portion of dynastic duck poutine that I got. It was rather steep. You won't see me eating here every day. I split the poutine with my manager, so it was okay. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth. It didn't take long for our food to be ready. The woman who had taken our orders was nice to bring the food to our table. I have always loved the crackle belly bao. It was equally as delicious here as it was in Waterloo. The pork belly was tasty and perfectly seasoned. The bao was nice and malleable. The veggies provided a nice contrast. I loved it. I tried the Korean garlic chicken bao. It was heavenly. The sauce was spicy and garlicky. The chicken had a crispy exterior and was juicy inside. It's nice having another decent bao to call my favourite. The purple flower lemonade was delicious. I normally don't like sweet lemonade. This version had a touch of sweetness that I enjoyed. This drink's colour was also pretty to look at. My manager enjoyed his food. He oddly doesn't like green vegetables, so I saw him pick out the cilantro and green onions. He felt that the sauces were mixed up. His Thai yum pork bao wasn't spicy. The dynasty duck that he has had in the past was oddly spicy. We had a baseline of the dynasty duck poutine that wasn't spicy to compare. Even with the sauce mix-up, he still enjoyed everything. His side salad had a bit of a spice kick, so he was happy. I loved eating here. It was a nice, casual lunch with yummy food. I wish that it were cheaper. However, the quality was excellent that I'm okay shelling out for it as someone who likely won't be dropping by weekly. (67)

The Burmese beef curry was actually great, perfect portion and amount of beef for $15. I asked for it to be really spicy and it was, which was very nice. My husband chose this and really enjoyed it I ordered the pho and added shrimp for a total of $15. They gave me a quart of broth, which was very nice and flavorful...and five small shrimp. They included plenty of rice noodles. The toppings could've been more generous. I only got one sprig of mint and I could barely find the green onions or cilantro, literally. Plenty of bean sprouts, tho. The included hot sauce is delicious. The vegetable spring rolls were ok..I wish they had more veggie filling, they were pretty empty. At $6 for three, I don't think they're worth $2 each. All in all, it was a pretty good experience. We'll probably try more of the menu at some point.

This place is more of a takeout kind of spot - but there are 1-2 small tables available for anyone waiting or wanting to dine in.

Food This spot does a lot of classic HK dishes - whether it's snacks or main that's perfect on the go. They recently have a collab with @siupaidon to bring more bold, nostalgic flavours. What I recommend: - Fish Fillet in Rose Sauce - Curry Fish Balls & Berkshire Pork Skin - Mala Spicy Chicken Rice They're all made on the spot and it really has a lot of strong and good flavour. Curry fish balls is my all time favourite, so I'm glad I have another new spot to get it whenever I'm craving it. This little hole-in-the-wall deserves more awareness, so hopefully they continue to bloom and grow!
