Big news: we’re turning the page on a new chapter for Mimi Cheng’s!
Our East Village restaurant will close its doors on September 11th as our lease has come to an end, but this is far from goodbye.
To every person who’s come through our doors, made Mimi’s part of your weekly rotation, or visited us from near or far, and to every chef, restaurant partner, and supplier who’s been on this journey with us, thank you. This 12 year story was built by you, and we’re endlessly grateful.
While closing this storefront will be sentimental, it means we get to pour everything into what’s next. We could’ve never imagined that our little dumpling shop would turn into a nationwide frozen dumpling business. Our focus is now scaling, so Mimi Cheng’s can land on a lot more tables than one restaurant ever could. The dumplings aren’t going anywhere. They’re just getting a bigger home.
Come see us before we close! As one last hurrah, the Pizza Loves Emily 🍕❤️E Emmy Burger Dumplings will make a comeback Sept 1–11. If you’ve have a memory from our 12 years in the East Village, we’d love to hear it in the comments.
You can already find us in the freezer aisle of your favorite store. If we’re not there yet, tell us where you want to see us. We’re working hard to get to you sooner!
Forever grateful,
Marian & Hannah
