Such cute Decor - it's also scan to order (barcode is in the table), so pretty much seat yourself and order. Came in on a random Monday afternoon, ordered through the app & the nice worker had informed us that the Water & lemon tea are free, so he went ahead and canceled those in our order. I had ordered the beef sizzle plate & my mom had ordered the beef ramen. Their sizzle plate might give pepper lunch a run for their money lol, as for the ramen the broth an noodles look as if they used the top ramen packets but flavor wise not as salty , still good though in my opinion. Most definitely will be coming back to try out other items on their menu. read more

We visited on a Wednesday evening, and there were ample available seats. Instead of receiving a physical menu, you scan to place your order, although my internet connection was quite unreliable. I decided to try the pork belly ramen based on a recommendation from one of the reviews, and I found it to be quite satisfying given its affordability. Even for someone who typically avoids pork, I must say it was both delicious and full of flavor! In my opinion, this place is undoubtedly a hidden gem and definitely worth a try. read more

Very delicious food. We also got the miso soup, which was a great deal. It was simple and flavorful. You need to order through a QR code. It was my first time where multiple people were able to add to the same tab, which was pretty cool. It was not very crowded, so we got our food pretty quick. We were in and out within an hour The food overall had a home cooked style to it. The table favorite was the squid for appetizers and the Korean beef barbecue sizzling rice. I would like to try the Korean beef barbecue with udon noodles, but the rice was excellent. read more

I am skeptical all the reviews provided are genuine and legit. In summary, food quality and prices look attractive in the pictures until you ordered them. Family of 4 ordered: - short ribs hot place rice: super oily, few pieces of cross sectional short ribs which consist mainly bones (no meat), corns and rice. - pork ramen: most important in ramen is the soup stock but here is mainly msg with water, with fatty meat. - salmon hot plate rice: few pieces of small overcooked deepfried salmon, corns and rice. - seafood hot pot: only decent dish, but small portions of seafood, mainly veg to make the dish look attractive and sumptuous, stock is again mainly msg water. read more

Late on this review for sure but wanted to try more of their menu for actual variety. First ramen, me personally I love the broth. It's slightly creamy but not to much. The flavor is absolutely amazing especially if you eat a sushi roll or gyoza and you sip some of the broth. Perfect! I've tried every ramen (they have beef, chicken, and pork belly) and overall the pork belly is my favorite. It has a sweet tang that doesn't overpower or throw off anything else. And I'm someone who does NOT like my meat sweet but this is an exception. Of course the noodles are another of my favorites but I can easily digest them too! Great for the price. Second sizzling rice plates, they are hot and sizzling! As you'll hear in the video they come out piping hot (exaggeration of course) to melt their garlic butter perfectly and give the rice a crunchy bottom. I haven't tried personally because I can't handle garlic or butter well (if you can get overwhelmed by too many flavors this might be too much as a full meal but that doesn't mean it isn't delicious! I'm just not a fan of butter or garlic) but the bites I had were really good. My boyfriend has tried almost every one but his favorites are the beef and pork belly sizzling rice plates. My boyfriend says that it's definitely worth it, even the food coma after sometimes. Third sushi, my boyfriend and I have been coming here for a few years now but the sushi is relatively new. This is my little sushi spot now! Really good quality and prices. I don't try much besides your average or special California roll but they have a sushi roll with raw salmon with a lemon slice on top call the 49ers roll I think. Just wow! The salmon is super creamy with no smell to my surprise (still new to this) and the lemon is a perfect touch. They have a salmon and tuna roll but one step at a time! Fourth appetizers, wish I had pictures but I tried almost all of them. The miso soup is always heartwarming for me and never fails. The cucumber salad had a dressing on it that just blends so well with the cucumbers. The gyozas go so well with their I think sweet and spicy sauce, not at all spicy. The tempura was perfectly crunchy and great for one. So please make sure to get some! Fifth the service, if you find someway to complain then you are a spoiled brat that need to go sit back down in your corner. Besides getting served your food and water pitcher (not what it is just the best word I have for it) refilled or other drinks served this is a self serve restaurant. They have a QR code you scan to get to their menu. That should take you to their menu where you get to browse what they have. Some have pictures some don't but there are descriptions. You simply click "+" or "-" and there is a comment section to make changes. I'm not picky so I've never used it. After you'll hear a series of dings, that's your order sent to the kitchen, and then you'll wait. I've never had to wait a long time and I've NEVER been disappointed. When they bring out your food is when they usually check on you. After that if you need something, you learned in school what to do RAISE YOUR HAND. I personally like that because I'm someone who feels pressured to know what I want right when the waitress/waiter comes to the table so this is great. Overall this place is the absolute cutest with really great prices and food that really fills you up and feels worth your dollar. Plus it's family owned! These are always the best and are actually deserving of your money. Please like if this helped! read more

Cozy neighborhood Japanese spot that offers hot pot, sushi, and donburi. We ordered the sweet potato fries and edamame for appetizers, sizzling udon and chicken katsu for mains, as well as two sushi rolls. Everything was delicious! Even though it was crowded, the food came out quickly. It was easy to order through the app (although you have to pay at the counter). One minus is that there isn't really a place to wait inside, and they don't have an app to manage the waitlist with an automated text. But overall it hit the spot and we will definitely be back! read more

Got the sizzling beef rice and the poke. The sizzling beef was about 13$ and the portion are a little smaller than other sizzling plate but for that price I think it was worth it. The plate comes with sauce already poured on top and sprinkle with lots of garlic powder. The sauce were good but I was hoping it can be a little more flavored since I like my food saucy. Would give this a 9/10. Also got the house poke which was about 15$. The portion is a little small for this one. Not really a fan of this cause it was actually really spicy and the bonito flakes didn't go well with the poke. However the staff there did let us know after that we can write a note before we order to let them know to make it less spicy. It didn't feel right that there's carrot in this poke, feels more like a tuna salad instead of a poke. 6/10 This plaza has lots of parking! The location in the plaza is a little hard to find since it's like in the back and the signs are not visible from the front. I do love the staff here since they listen to your reviews and are really quick and tentative. Planning to come back again for their affordable price and probably come back to try their beef udon. read more

This place is great! Finally a good alternative to Pepper Lunch which went down in quality after COVID. We tried the curry chicken katsou and sizzling beef. The curry from the katsuo tastes authentic and balance. The chicken katsuo has a good meat to batter ratio, so you're not just eating batter. The beef has good flavor to it and is not too chewy. Also the squid is tasty and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back. read more

Amazing food and great service definitely comming back again soon with other friends !!!

Mimi's Kitchen is has been around 2 weeks now. It is in the shopping center off of Blossom Hill with the Pet Club, and it is tucked in to that recessed area between Pet Club and the drug store. So, you would never know it is there unless you look for it! The restaurant has a clean, casual look. Usually you order via your phone, but it was not working on this day, so a server took our order. We got the vegetable spring rolls, cucumber salad, sweet potato fries, Fry Beef Udon and Sizzling Curry Katsu chicken. The 3 appetizers were excellent. My only complaint is that they do not have ketchup. They served a creamy dip for the sweet potato fries. They fries themselves were crispy and great. We loved the cucumber salad too. The curry chicken did indeed sizzle for a while after it was served to me! It tasted fine. The Fry Beef Udon was very good too. You pay at the register. read more

MiMi's Kitchen is now our go to neighborhood pickup place. Located in the CVS shopping center where parking is a breeze. But realistically even if the parking was a pain -it'd be worth it. Yes the food is delicious! The rolls, White dragon to the the Lion King are fresh. The Sizzling beef udon we shared between the three of us has a flavorful sauce, shredded beef and vegetables. The prices are fair and the on-line ordering does not ask for a tip! read more

I don't know why I have not tried this place yet! Tucked away in the back of the plaza, this hidden gem has lots of food to offer. The sizzling plates are a must to try! They place garlic butter on the rice which makes it extra flavorful. If you're not feeling rice there's other dishes like sushi and ramen. Super cute ambiance with simple decor around and you order everything using a QR code menu. read more

MiMi's Kitchen - Beef Sizzling Beef Pepper Rice! So delicious! - Asian Fusion Near Me - San Jose, California

I came here because of rating and price are reasonable. It's really what you pay what you get. Nothing spectacular. I got the curry chicken katsu and it's super salty. I think they messed up my order because why they have black pepper sauce on my rice. I can't even continued eating my entree and gave it to my hub. Portion is small. Barely any meat on the beef sizzling plate. Ramen was meh. Not enough broth. Not worth coming back. Oh yea forgot the tap water with lemon. Either order a bottle drink or bring your own water. Straight nasty...my 6 yes old can't even drink it. Service: im guessing the owner(male) was nice. But he left. And his wife was not much a service since they don't come check on you. Or even ask how's everything. And it's not busy. Only two tables having lunch. read more

Found this place on Yelp and it seems like it was only opened less than 2 months ago. This place is tucked away in the plaza so it's a bit hard to spot. However, the ambience inside is very nice and cozy. The most shocking thing about this place is that the prices are very low for the kind of food you get. I got the beef sizzling plate and it was only $12 or $13. At pepper lunch, That would probably be close to $20. The flavor was good and the rice was very crispy. I saw that the ramen was only $12... That's crazy! I am looking forward to going back to trying more items on the menu. I highly recommend trying it out and supporting this local business. read more

Food? Excellent quality and a great value! My partner had the sizzling short rib rice, and I had the sizzling eel rice. Both were taste sensations! The server was a very sweet, soft spoken young woman who advised us to not touch the cast iron bowl and to mix in the house made sauce into the rice. Even after 20 minutes, the cast iron was still hot which gave the rice on the bottom a crispy, chewy texture that we loved. The short ribs were Hawaiian style. The eel melted in my mouth. Other folks were having fried noodles, sashimi, a tower of cucumber slices, ramen, and all of it was beautifully presented. The menu is only available by QR code. It is somewhat limited in comparison with other Asian restaurants. I like that they stick with the sizzling dishes, pressed sushi, noodles and soups. Do what you do best! They do! It's delicious! Interestingly, they don't have hot tea. It was a crisp day, and I really would have enjoyed a cup of genmaicha. However, they serve a beautiful carafe of water with lemon slices. Service? The servers, and bus boy were obviously young family members. Nevertheless, they were friendly, efficient, and professional. Ambiance? This is a family friendly place ringing with the joyous giggles and screams of children, all of whom are well behaved! The decor is kind of in the style of a classy day care, but it's totally appropriate for this family eatery. We live in Salinas, and came up to drop off a car at Carvana. I searched for restaurants in Blossom Valley, and came up with MiMi's. What a find! We'll definitely come here again! read more

Mimi's Kitchen is my new favorite spot. It's tucked inside in the plaza a bit so it's easy to miss from the street. I'd label it as an underrated hole in the wall type vibe. Great spot to dine in and catch up with a friend or group for lunch or dinner. Just about everyone I've shown has enjoyed the food. Nicely crafted menu with a range of Asian style dishes from rice, noodles, to sushi that can accommodate anyone's cravings. I believe the dishes are inexpensive compared to other places you can get a sizzling plate or ramen. Ordering is via QR code on each table. I love to splurge on the chirashi bowl packed with sushi. Other notable mentions I like are the short rib sizzling plate and katsu curry. The hawaiian poke bowl was good but I wimped out at how spicy it was. Business owner is nice and shared his inspiration for the place of traveling around Asia trying different foods. Kind enough to offer edamame on the house after learning his story! Much appreciated. read more
