Miami’s fine dining enthusiasts are in for a singular experience this August 11, when MIMI Chinese, the Michelin-recognized restaurant that made its much-anticipated U.S. debut in Miami Beach this past winter, partners with Uchi Miami for an exclusive dinner. The event, held at Uchi’s Wynwood outpost, marks a rare collaboration between two of the most inventive culinary forces in contemporary Asian cuisine.

A Cross-Cultural Omakase Rooted in Storytelling

At the helm of this special evening is Executive Chef Braden Chong of MIMI Chinese, whose modern interpretations of regional Chinese dishes have garnered international acclaim. For this event, he joins Uchi’s celebrated culinary team to present a multi-course omakase inspired by the nostalgic late-night Cantonese staples of New York City’s legendary Wo Hop—reimagined through MIMI’s adventurous lens and executed with Uchi’s precision-driven Japanese technique.

Expect a sophisticated interplay of heritage and haute cuisine, with each course unfolding like a conversation between cultures—layered, seasonal, and unapologetically creative.

A Chef with Global Perspective

Born in Toronto, Chef Chong brings a deep reverence for his Chinese roots, paired with technical expertise honed in Michelin-starred kitchens in Tokyo and Kyoto. His cooking—already well-known for its balance of bold regional authenticity and fine dining finesse—finds fresh expression in this rare collaborative moment.

At MIMI Chinese, Chef Chong has built a following for dishes that transcend expectations, marrying time-honored Cantonese influences with contemporary flourishes and unexpected ingredients. This upcoming event at Uchi is not just a dinner—it’s a showcase of cross-cultural artistry at its highest level.
