Dim Sum at Mimimi.
We’re proud to have New Brunswick’s only dedicated dim sum steamer, bringing the traditional dim sum experience to Saint John. From savoury favourites like pork siu mai (烧麦), shrimp dumplings (har gow, 虾饺), sticky rice with chicken (lo mai g*i, 糯米鸡), and mini pork buns (xiao long bao, 小笼包), to sweet treats like custard buns （流沙包）, char siu buns （叉烧包）, walnut buns (核桃包)and taro buns (芋头包), there’s a little something for everyone. We can also accommodate gluten-free needs.
In Guangdong, dim sum is more than just a meal. It’s a slow brunch with family and friends: a big selection of little dishes, a pot of hot tea, plenty of conversation, and no need to rush. Sometimes, we don’t even order another main dish. Come sit down, pour yourself some tea, and enjoy dim sum the Guangdong way at Mimimi.

Cui Pi Qie Zi (Crispy Eggplant, 脆皮茄子), a vegetarian stir-fried dish made with very tender Chinese long eggplant. The eggplant is lightly coated in starch and fried until crispy, then wok-tossed with a carefully balanced sweet, sour and savoury sauce. It takes a little more work to make, but the result is worth it: crispy outside, tender inside, and full of flavour.

When we first added it to the menu, not many people ordered it. Then a few brave guests gave it a try, and the word slowly spread. We’ve had many guests tell us, “I usually like meat,” or “I don’t even like eggplant,” only to discover that they absolutely love this dish and can’t stop eating it. 😄 Like all our dishes, we highly recommend enjoying it as soon as it comes out of the kitchen, when the texture and flavour are at their best. What day are you planning to come in for our Crispy Eggplant?

Three nights. Three sold out dinners. So many happy faces, full tables, and very full stomachs!

Thank you so much for all the support, love, and trust. We are truly grateful and honestly a little overwhelmed by how much you all loved this special dinner.

These photos are just a few behind the scenes snapshots taken by our kitchen team while preparing the dishes and getting everything ready to go out. They are not perfect food photos, but they captured three very busy, very delicious nights for us.

We will remember these three nights, and all the dishes that brought so much joy to the table.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who came from all across New Brunswick to celebrate Qixi with us. 🙏

We are incredibly lucky to have you. Thank you for choosing Mimimi, and thank you for loving our food. ❤️

Until next time!

Summer calls for a cold beer. 🍺

At Mimimi, we proudly serve Tsingtao Lager and Asahi Super Dry. These are not easy to find here, and we are one of the very few places in NB offering them, if not the only one at the moment.

They are a perfect match with our stir fry dishes, Dim Sum, and ramen. Fresh flavours, cold drinks, and a relaxed summer vibe.

We also carry local beers like Moosehead and Drifter because supporting local matters to us.

Mimimi - Asian comfort, local heart. ❤️

Mimimi’s chef, Yan, had the pleasure of attending the opening ceremony of the Sturgeon and Caviar Educational Culinary Tourism Building by Acadian Sturgeon and Caviar Inc in Carters Point.

Congratulations to Cornel Ceapa, Dorina Ceapa, and Mike on this important milestone. From producing the best caviar in Canada and operating a beautiful sturgeon farm, to now welcoming guests in such an impressive new space, this is truly inspiring to see.

It was also great to reconnect with friends from the culinary and banking communities. A special mention to Joe for his wonderful piano performance. Many of you may not know that he is not only a talented musician, but also the founder of a successful moving company, Clarity Move.

If you are interested, we highly recommend booking a visit. You can tour the farm, enjoy great food and drinks, and even see these incredible sturgeon up close. It is a rare experience, especially for kids.

Cornel has been incredibly supportive of Mimimi over the years, as President of Acadian Sturgeon and Caviar Inc., as Bailli of chainenewbrunswick, and most importantly as a friend. We are truly grateful.

Wishing Cornel and Dorina continued success and all the very best.

Sesame Chicken Noodle Salad (鸡丝凉面 jī sī liáng miàn) is coming to Mimimi this Wednesday, June 3 at lunch!

This was my absolute favorite summer dish growing up. Before putting it on the menu, I called my mom to tell her. She said she’s happy people in Canada will get to try her noodles, and then told me I better make it even better than hers. Haha, no pressure.

Chilled noodles with sesame dressing, shredded chicken, and lots of fresh, crisp veggies. Kind of like a noodle salad, but better.

Perfect for warm days when you want something light but still satisfying. Hope you enjoy it as much as I always have :-)
