Mimi’s Chūka Diner
About
Mimi’s Chūka Diner is a full-service restaurant in Somerville’s Union Square serving chūka, a Japanese take on Chinese classics, with the accents of a classic American diner. The kitchen reworks familiar Chinese dishes through a Japanese lens and blends in diner touches, serving both dinner and weekend brunch. The restaurant operates inside Aeronaut Brewing, with a dining room the owners describe as cozy yet refined.
Chef-owners Ted Woo and Jon Awerman started Mimi’s as a dumpling-forward pop-up at Stir in the South End in January 2020, then brought it to Union Square in November 2024 after finding a home inside the brewery. They have spoken about their motivations for the restaurant and their love for fellow local businesses. Groups can work with the team on a custom menu that mixes current staples with dishes made especially for them.
