Our Story
We’re two sisters raised on fresh Taiwanese-style cooking by our mom, Mimi.
Mimi taught us early: heritage meals aren't only about recipes. They're about what you choose to put in them and whom you share them with.
She knew what farm-fresh vegetables added to a meal. The difference family-raised chicken makes. What pasture-raised pork brings to something made by hand with real intention.
She knew, too, that sitting around a table eating something genuinely good can shift the whole weight of a day.
When we left home, she drove coolers to us in college and packed our freezers when we were young professionals in New York with no time to cook. We always had her dumplings and her sauce on hand to nourish us.
Mimi Cheng's is what happens when that kind of care is there but the time isn't.
In 2014, we took a leap of faith and opened our first restaurant in NYC to share the joyful feeling our mom's food gave us with more people. Ten years in, with several restaurants and many culinary collaborations, we still stay true to our day one mission: nourishing and delighting your spirit with simply good food.
It warms our hearts that so many people have experienced the difference our approach to cooking can make. We're excited to showcase our family traditions and to share some good food with you.
