    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. Super flavorful and so much better, than Sizzling Lunch! Thank you Xie Yanxi for the great food and amazing service! You held it down when the Saturday night dinner rush began!

    Seared Salmon Pressed Sushi  Seaweed Salad
    Sophia C.

    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.

    49ERS ( 8 Pieces)
    Michael L.

    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.

    Sizzling eel rice - mixed with added green onions
    Cin-Yee S.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Beef pepper rice , salmon roll, Pork Belly Ramen Noodle

    Really good place to grab food with family. Located in a quiet corner off blossom hill and snell its food is really tasty. Service is really nice and fast too. You can order on your phone so very convenient and they have some sauces and seasoning at the table to make things just how you like.

    Pork ramen
    Tanita J.

    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.

    *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.

    First time here and it was so good! I ordered online and the process was so easy. Location is in a plaza with a ton of parking and when I got there my order was ready. 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!

    Lion King Roll
    Tina K.

    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.

    Sizzling Short Rib Pepper Rice
    Irene L.

    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).

This location offers both indoor and outdoor dining with a covered patio area. It can get pretty hot and stuffy in the summer time but they have some fans working overtime. The menu offers a lot of chicken, pork and even veggie options. You can scan the QR code or order via paper menu with a server. I found service to be pretty minimal in my opinion. The fact that they have you order via online and the ask for an 18% tip is so typical these days. Sometimes it doesn't even surprise me. I ordered the buttered corn ramen, subbed for chicken and subbed for spinach noodles. The noodles were good- firm and chewy. The chicken was super tender and soft. The soup was a bit lackluster. I was expecting more depth in flavor but I found it to be on the blander side. I also wish it came with a whole marinated egg rather than half for a $20 bowl. I do like the fact that they offer outdoor dining as well as so much customizability. The toppings are great but the broth is what falls short for me. All in all, not a bad option in terms of ramen for the Bay Area. The options and customization is great and this is a good spot for vegetarians or people looking for something lighter than your typical ramen.
