Mimi's Chūka Diner

Mimi's Chūka Diner Mimi's Chuka Diner is a cozy owner-operated 36-seat restaurant. We combine that with American diner influences while providing warm, welcoming service.

We serve "chūka ryōri," a cuisine that adapts Chinese dishes to Japanese palates/cooking methods.

We’ve got some news ..

SORRY to scare you 🤭 We're just changing our hours to better support our needs. Starting Monday, October 5, we'll be CLOSED Mondays & shifting our dinner close 30 minutes earlier.

We'll still be available for catering Mondays through our own and third party services (aka hit us up on EZCater or shoot us an email for large format orders!)

NEW HOURS starting October 5!!!

Please know there was significant thought and consideration put into this decision. As you're probably aware, it's financially a tough time to be a small business owner right now. Being independently owned means every labor and operating hour counts, so we're making this change to more efficiently staff and support the days where it makes the most productive impact. We’re hopeful this will help us stabilize our workloads across the board and improve the Mimi’s experience overall. We apologize to our Monday takeout regulars, and appreciate your understanding in advance ❤️

If there’s one thing Chef Jon knows how to do, it’s make a gd good burger 🙂‍↕️

If you ask me, the Chūka Burger perfectly encapsulates the Mimi’s ethos. It’s a “traditional burger,” aka not a lot of frills or fanfare, but the care and quality of ingredients speak for themselves as soon as you take a bite. We stick with the classic toasted sesame seed bun, a handground, handformed patty that’s thin enough to get crispy, but nothing like the new gen of barely there smashburgers. Yellow American cheese adds the perfect melty, creamy goodness without overpowering the flavors of the chuck and brisket grind. To make it our own, we add a dollop of Kewpie mayo (hello Japanese mayo >>> Hellman’s anyday), shaved cabbage, classic pickle chips, and our housemade Yaki BBQ Sauce. It’s served alongside a pile of our handcut fries, tossed in Chuka fine herbs for a lil something extra. It’s become a crowd favorite for obvious reasons, and I think represents the Mimi’s “high-quality-yet-humble” mission perfectly.
