About Mimi’s Chūka Diner

Mimi’s Chūka Diner is a distinctive Chinese restaurant nestled inside Aeronaut Brewing Co. at 14 Tyler St Suite 102 in Somerville, Massachusetts. Originating as a frozen gyoza delivery service during the pandemic, Mimi’s Chūka Diner has grown into a welcoming space where diners can explore a delightful menu of flavorful dishes and creative cocktails.

A highlight of Mimi’s Chūka Diner is their selection of homemade dumplings. Customers rave about the quality, describing them as some of the best in the Boston area. While one reviewer wished for a pan-fried gyoza option, the existing dumplings are clearly a standout. Other popular dishes include the ebi chilli and subuta, noted for their unique and delicate flavors that may be hard to find elsewhere in the area. The restaurant prides itself on the nuanced preparation of its dishes.

Beyond the main courses, Mimi’s Chūka Diner also offers a matzah ball and wonton soup, suggested as a great option for sharing or as a satisfying appetizer. The mabo tofu and ebi chili, served with a side of white rice, are also highly recommended. Adding to the unique dining experience is a rotating drinks menu featuring excellent cocktails that blend Asian flavors such as lychee, jasmine tea, and shiso with various spirits.

The establishment is run by an owner named Ted, who has garnered a loyal following since the initial frozen gyoza delivery service. The growth of Mimi’s Chūka Diner into its own space within Aeronaut is a testament to the quality of its food and the dedication of its team.

If you're looking for a Chinese restaurant that offers more than the standard fare, Mimi’s Chūka Diner provides a fun and flavorful experience with its unique dishes and creative cocktails in a vibrant setting.

We really appreciate the food here and definitely will come back to try more on the menu. We had 2 kinds of dumplings which made in house and it is definitely one of the best dumpling I had in Boston area. I wish they have pan-fried version of gyoza though which will boost the flavor and texture. We also ordered ebi chilli and subuta. We love flavor which I dont think you can find in the area. They are really delicate with their dish. Their cocktail is also really good though. I would encourage people to come here and explore all the flavor. It’s a fun experience!!

Mimi’s Chuka Diner is a unique and delicious establishment, tucked away inside Aeronaut. I may be biased, but I’ve followed Mimi’s Chuka and its owner Ted since they initially started as a frozen gyoza delivery service during the pandemic. I am very happy to see them growing over the years, now with its own space. Of course, you have to try their original pork gyoza, but their other dishes are also worth exploring. The matzah ball and wonton soup is great for sharing (or just as an appetizer for one). I love the mabo tofu and ebi chili dishes, with a big side of white rice. The rotating drinks menu also is excellent and worth a try, blending Asian flavors like lychee, jasmine tea, shiso with spirits. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Mimi’s Chuka Diner inside the Aeronaut.

I was so delighted by how delicious the food was here! Everything hit the spot and the noodles and the mapo tofu were particularly good. This post was made in connection with a Toast promotion.

I had been waiting for Mimi's to open since I heard they were coming to the neighborhood. The food was great when takeout service started, and the atmosphere sitting inside makes it even more delightful now after the grand opening. The food, mouthwatering. The drinks, delicious. The staff, lovely and attentive. I have recommended this to just about anyone that talks about food in Somerville. I have had everything on the menu at this point but my two absolute favorites are the Ebi Chili (sweet tomato chili shrimp) and the Chu-Kars Crusher (Mezcal cocktail). The Matzo wonton soup is perfect for a cold rainy/snowy day. The butter mochi is the perfect sweet treat after everything else. I will and have been coming back here. Love y'all, see you soon

If you want glitz and glamour there are definitely other options - but the food is undeniably good. The garlic noodles are definitely my favorite of favorites.
