Where Tradition Meets Innovation

Handcrafted Chinese Cuisine, Made with Love and a Modern Twist

Our Belief

At Mimi Garden, we believe that food is more than just nourishment—it’s a way to connect, share joy, and celebrate life’s moments. Inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Chinese cuisine, we’re dedicated to bringing handcrafted, high-quality dishes to our community, all while adding a modern twist that keeps every visit exciting.

Where It All Began

Our journey started with a dream: to share the timeless art of dumpling-making with our neighbors. What began as a small idea quickly grew into something much bigger. With our first location in Rancho Santa Margarita, we’ve worked hard to create a space where families, friends, and food lovers can come together and experience the warmth of traditional Chinese dining in a fresh, welcoming setting.

What Makes Us Unique

At Mimi Garden, every dish has a story. From our signature Xiao Long Bao, filled with tender Kurobuta pork and savory broth, to our crispy beef rolls, every bite is crafted with care and attention to detail. Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Authentic Handcrafted Dishes: Every dumpling, bao, and wonton is folded by hand in our open kitchens, giving you a front-row seat to the artistry behind your meal.

  • Premium Ingredients: We use only the finest ingredients, like Kurobuta pork, fresh vegetables, and aromatic truffle, to ensure every dish is unforgettable.

  • A Modern Twist: While honoring traditional flavors, we’re always experimenting with new techniques and combinations to surprise and delight.

  • Family-Friendly Vibe: Whether you’re dining with little ones, catching up with friends, or enjoying a date night, our spaces are designed to make everyone feel at home.
