Mimi's Thai Kitchen in Hannover

Unfortunately very unprofessional and inconsiderate.

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience here. When ordering, my friend and I explicitly stated that due to a severe allergy, the food could not contain any peanuts. Upon asking, we were assured that the papaya salad could easily be prepared without peanuts. When the food was served, my friend took a few bites of the salad before immediately noticing allergic symptoms – his throat began to itch and swell slightly. Concerned, we immediately called the waitress, who again assured us that there were no peanuts. Upon closer inspection, however, we found small pieces of peanut hidden in the salad. After speaking to her again, the waitress apologized, and I asked if we could have it wrapped up, as my friend wasn't feeling well. As a server, it really wasn't her fault, so I didn't make a big deal out of it. When paying, I spoke to another employee (a German man with a beard and glasses – seemed like the manager?), who was initially sympathetic and didn't charge for the salad. But when I emphasized how serious such a mix-up can be for allergy sufferers, I was confronted with a completely inappropriate attitude. His statement: "Mistakes can happen" – which is generally true, but not when it comes to potentially life-threatening allergies, and this had been explicitly emphasized beforehand. And I shouldn't make a big deal out of it, since he wasn't feeling that bad. Does it have to get to the point where it's a "thing"? Isn't a sore throat, rash, and discomfort enough? Even more shocking was his statement when he suggested that the boss was saying that people with severe allergies shouldn't eat out at all or order dishes that could potentially contain allergens. The employee added that "with such allergies, maybe you should just eat at home." This behavior was completely unprofessional and disrespectful. A simple mistake can happen, but handling it correctly makes all the difference. A sincere apology and an assurance that more careful work would be done in the future would have been completely sufficient. Instead, we were fobbed off with derogatory and insensitive comments. I'm not really a discordant person and have never written a bad review, but this truly left me speechless, and I wasn't about to let it go. Anyone with allergies or intolerances should avoid this restaurant. The indifference with which serious health risks are handled here is appalling.

Friendly staff and very authentic ambience

Very tasty traditional Thai food. It feels a bit like a vacation in Thailand.

Authentic cuisine at its finest!

Super delicious food. Great ambience. The employees are very friendly. I can only recommend it.

Very friendly service and really good food.

We used to eat there regularly, but unfortunately not anymore from today. I called on Wednesday and asked if I could book a table for Saturday (today) at 1 p.m. I was told that this wasn't possible but that there was always a lot of free time at that time. When we arrived there today, all tables were occupied, but we were promised that we would quickly get a table that would become available. 5 minutes later a gentleman came in the door and waved friendly to the boss, who waved back at him and after a short chat he was given the table reserved for us, as he was obviously a friend of the boss. Shortly afterwards the boss came to us and said that the gentleman had apparently made a reservation and that we would get the next table. I expressed my displeasure at the fact that I wanted to make a reservation three days ago and it was not possible. He then said: “You just have to wait a little longer and if you don’t want to, you can go to another restaurant.” The price-performance ratio hasn't been right for a long time, but that was just an outrage. You realize that you simply don't need it there, as there are always enough guests anyway. Too bad!

Fast friendly service. Som Tam and Laab well seasoned. Krapao very sweet, sauce slightly floury consistency, very oily.

Friendly service, authentic atmosphere and delicious food!

Minis Thai Kitchen stands out from ordinary run-of-the-mill Asian food! Here you can enjoy authentic Thai cuisine with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. No comparison to the usual Chinese restaurants - every dish is a pleasure and an experience for the senses. Absolutely recommended!

Ich finde das Restaurant gut sie geben sich Hühner sind freundlich und das Essen ist lecker, wenn man das richtige genommen hat. Ich glaub nicht dass alle so gut sind aber viele halt schonÄ Speisen und ich bin immer mehr als zufrieden. Es gibt aber auch paar Gerichte, die mir nicht so schmecken, obwohl ich es wirklich versucht hab also allem in an es ist ein Besuch auf jeden Fall wert. Aber überlegt euch, was ihr bestellt.

Everything seems pretty authentic - but we've never been to Thailand. We have recorded chipped enamel dishes under authentic. The food is delicious and interesting. The service works surprisingly well. The overall atmosphere is lively.

Have really loved this restaurant for almost 5 years but the last visit was a bit disappointing. As always, the food was very, very tasty. But I waited 35 minutes for my food. But that's why we got the additional rice for free.

Felt like I was in Thailand. Great Som Tam! 😀 Thanks for that!

Super delicious Thai food of authentic and high quality. I really enjoy eating here!

Food is very good. The prices for the drinks (bottled beer) are quite high.

Our food was extremely salty. There were three of us and we had three different dishes and we rarely find it too salty. In addition, the Krapao only had one Thai basil leaf in the dish. I know that more intensely. The service was stressed. You feel dismissed. If there is eye contact, the service avoids the table and rushes on. Once and never again!

Food was very good! Take-away portion could be a little larger. Gladly again

A very nice team, delicious food - which could have been a little more - and great ambience. Feel free to come again. :)

Cheap tasteless food, it's almost just sauce with rice. poor extraction.

The store's good reputation precedes it, the food was delicious, the prices were okay. Thai charm, but sometimes rude (annoyed?) staff, as there is obviously a lot going on in the evening.

The rice is great, the kebabs are very tender, I am very happy to eat them, I like them

The one star was only deducted because it was just too restless here - the rest was fine. Gladly again.

Small and delicious restaurant. Had Pad Thai. That was super tasty. Was there several times because it was so good. When I'm back in Hanover, I'll come back.

I have never eaten such delicious Thai food in Germany in my life! I'm thrilled!!

Very tasty food, with some dishes you can choose how spicy the food should be served. Attentive service (thank you). Balanced price-performance ratio. The high number of guests speaks volumes for a Thursday. Guests who did not reserve had to wait. You could also say: sold out ;). It's great that there is something like this in Hanover-Südstadt, absolutely recommended.

Go eat there!! It's great! On Saturday lunchtime you have to be patient, it's pretty crowded but it's worth it.

Really great restaurant, small but nice. You have the feeling of eating in Thailand. The food was very tasty, great selection. Staff also very friendly and accommodating! Highly recommended!

Pretty simple food, which isn't entirely authentic, but quite expensive! This means that dishes (nothing special in terms of taste) are unfortunately not worth the price. Even if you can't compare it, a main course like this in Thailand costs €3-5. Here in the street food restaurant it costs €15-20. That's quite intense... Location is simple but has charm. Only the amount on the receipt really put us off and we won't be visiting again.

Just super delicious!!!!!! Fresh and well seasoned. Don't miss this!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and service,one of my favourites!! This small restaurant is busy for a good reason, it's great 😃

Eat like in Thailand! Authentic, delicious, I'll definitely be back.

If you want to experience perfect Thai cuisine in Hanover, with super friendly service, then you should simply eat here. It is often very busy during peak times, so reservations are recommended.

The restaurant itself has a charming flair. The decor is very authentic. Unfortunately I found it to be very loud (restaurant was fully booked). This made it difficult to have a relaxed conversation. It was also very warm that day. The restaurant can't do anything about it, but it made the ambience even more depressing. Therefore unfortunately only 3 stars because it was also quite stuffy in the restaurant. The food was good, but quite “simple” for my taste. After we finished eating, we sat and waited for a while. Unfortunately, no one came to ask for another order (dessert, drinks). We didn't realize that you had to go to the counter yourself to pay. Unfortunately the EC device didn't work either. A note at the beginning for “new customers” would have been nice :)

This is a cozy Thai restaurant and the food is fine, but not the best Thai food we have had, and is a bit on the expensive side. Thanks for food.

The best Thai in Hanover, the food tastes like in Thailand. And if you want it spicy, you get it really spicy, not toned down like in other restaurants. What I don't like: you mostly sit on stools. Also great advice on questions about food.

Here you can get delicious food at a fair price. There is a good selection of drinks and the coasters are non-slip, something I hadn't seen before. The food is very tasty and freshly prepared. Price/performance is right. The staff is very friendly and humorous. It is generally clean.

Top food, great selection and I think it's great how you can choose the level of spiciness.

I would like to give an absolute recommendation for this great restaurant. My first visit at the weekend was fantastic. The service was perfect, the location was very cozy and the food was great! 😊 I also really liked the vegetarian selection. See you soon 🙌🏽 🇹🇭

Thanks to the whole team. You are really great.

A little piece of Thailand in Hanover. We regularly try the daily special, but the regular dishes are also unbeatable. Authentic and simply delicious, it reminds you of old times

Always an authentic experience! The food here is simply simple and delicious!

Simply authentic and really tasty! Keep it up!

It is indeed the best Thai food in Hannover, highly recommended!

I ordered mango sticky rice twice and unfortunately the coconut milk sauce was completely over-salted and only tasted like salt, perhaps the sugar and salt were swapped... Paid almost €20 for 2 portions and unfortunately the food was not edible. Big disappointment, I probably won't come back again

Simple, delicious dishes, quick, spicy, tasty. Nice service, busy, cool shop

The food is still pretty tasty, but the prices are no longer justifiable. Nowadays, even as a woman, you can hardly get enough to eat just one starter and one main course and pay a good €30 with a drink. The place is loud and you sit on very uncomfortable, wobbly stools at a table that is too small, potentially in the passageway or near the toilet. The waitress simply fobbed us off and cleared us away while we put the last bite into our mouths. You can no longer justify something like that given the prices. Either you make street food or you significantly upgrade the place. Unfortunately we won't be coming back for the time being

Best Thai restaurant in Hanover and the surrounding area. Delicious laab, fine curry, perfect pad khrapao. Staff friendly, atmosphere like in a food stall, prices are also okay. I lived in Thailand for 3 years and couldn't find a comparable good restaurant in the Hanover area.

Some of the best service, and definitely some of the best food. Ordered som tam and tofu laarb spicy, they were definitely spicy and tasted excellent. To give our mouths a rest we ordered the curries medium which was perfect in combination with the spicy small dishes. Service was friendly and they spoke English as well which definitely made it easier for us. Flavors were authentic, good and the atmosphere was nice as well! Definitely worth a visit.

Perfect little Thai restaurant. The food is super tasty and authentic. The service is super friendly and the atmosphere really invites you to stay. Unfortunately, your stomach has its limits, otherwise we would probably have eaten our way through the entire menu. If I end up in Hanover again at some point, I definitely know where I will always be for dinner. I had different dishes than those in my recommendation because they were not suggested by Google. The three of us ordered different things and each tried each other. Everything was great.

Absolutely outstanding! There were three of us and we tried our way through different dishes. Without exception it was very good. The Padthai is excellent, the service is great. I haven't had such good Thai food in a long time! We will be back!

So if you don't have time to fly to Thailand, you've come to the right place. There was even morning glory, which we unfortunately missed. For this reason alone we will come back again. ;-) Very authentic, and simply delicious.

Always worth a visit. We have been to Mimi's many times and would love to come back. Very authentic and very tasty Thai cuisine. Great ambience. You get exactly what you expect. Clear recommendation in Hanover. A reservation in advance is often necessary

Food very good. Hectic atmosphere with a lot of traffic.

super delicious Thai food. There are a few vegan dishes/options. Great atmosphere / street food and very tasty.

Very authentic, super tasty and great service 🤙

Very authentic and super tasty! Great dishes and nice restaurant. It's worth making a reservation.

Nice service, but unfortunately we didn't like the food.

The best Phat Thai in Hanover for us! We first had the opportunity to eat in the restaurant, otherwise we always did it to pick up, as it is very difficult to get a seat if you want to eat there spontaneously! But ordering on the phone and picking up works great 👍🏽

First visit there, based on advice/recommendation - a good decision. Attentive service, nice atmosphere, delicious food and drinks. The restaurant was very busy, but the food was on the table quite quickly. Price/performance ratio ok. There will definitely be a repeat visit. Reservation is recommended.

Without many words, by far the best Thai restaurant in Hanover, or certainly beyond. Always an experience.

Almost perfect! Best restaurant I've tried in Hannover, will definitely visit again.

Excellent food and authentic street kitchen flair. My absolute Thai favorite.

I can't understand the many very good reviews. The food was good, but nothing more. The tofu was cut so thin and mini that you could hardly find it in the dish. The organization is chaotic. Reservations were not kept, we had to wait at least half an hour, as did other guests who had also made reservations because all the seats were occupied. Requested drinks from the menu were sold out. Very loud, very narrow.

Mein heutiger Besuch im Mimi’s Thai Kitchen war leider alles andere als zufriedenstellend. Trotz expliziter Hinweise und der besonderen Betonung auf eine bestehende Fisch- und Shrimpsallergie sowie dem Wunsch nach veganen Optionen, mussten wir zu unserem Entsetzen feststellen, dass unser Gericht versteckte Shrimps enthielt. Dies stellt nicht nur eine ernsthafte Gesundheitsgefahr dar, sondern zeugt auch von einer mangelnden Aufmerksamkeit und Sorgfalt seitens der Küche. Als wir diesen bedenklichen Vorfall an das Personal meldeten, wurden wir mit einer unerwarteten Reaktion konfrontiert. Statt Verständnis oder gar einer Entschuldigung für den gravierenden Fehler zu zeigen, beklagte sich der Besitzer darüber, dass wir mit unseren „Extra Wünschen“ die Küchenabläufe durcheinanderbringen würden. Eine solche Haltung ist nicht nur unprofessionell, sondern zeugt auch von einer tiefgreifenden Ignoranz gegenüber den ernsthaften Bedürfnissen und Gesundheitsrisiken der Kunden. Zusätzlich zu diesem bedauerlichen Vorfall war die allgemeine Erfahrung im Restaurant durch eine Atmosphäre der Massenabfertigung geprägt, bei der Quantität offenbar vor Qualität gestellt wird. Es schien, als ob die Einhaltung von Kundenwünschen und -bedürfnissen in diesem Etablissement eine untergeordnete Rolle spielt. Dieser Besuch im Mimi’s Thai Kitchen hat nicht nur tiefgreifende Mängel im Umgang mit Kundenanfragen und allergiebedingten Gesundheitsrisiken offenbart, sondern auch eine grundsätzliche Missachtung für individuelle Bedürfnisse und Wohlbefinden gezeigt. Solch eine Erfahrung ist inakzeptabel und wirft ernste Fragen bezüglich der Professionalität und Kundenorientierung dieses Restaurants auf. Es ist mehr als ungesund und unfreundlich und es wird mit veganen Gerichten auf der Speisekarte geworben und dann wird sich noch beschwert wenn man vegan bestellt.

Worth a visit but not an experience. Far too expensive for what is offered. As busy as the store is lately, no one will care

In my opinion the best Thai in Hanover

Wir haben für 19 Uhr einen Tisch reserviert. Um 19:20 gab es immer noch keinen freien Tisch für uns, sodass wir uns dann entschieden haben, das Essen mitzunehmen. Wir mussten dann erneut ca. 25 Minuten in der Kälte stehen, um auf das Essen zu warten. Das Essen war wie immer lecker, jedoch waren wir sehr überrascht über die Größe der Portionen. Der Hauptgang war maximal eine halbe Portion. Wirklich schade.

I was here for the first time. Got a place without pre-registration and everything was OK. I'd love to come back.

The food was very tasty and the service was friendly, but the portions were a bit too small for the price-performance ratio.

Always incredibly tasty and nice there. You should reserve in advance and because the shop is so popular it is often quite loud. Absolutely recommended!

Super tasty, really generous portions and if it says spicy, then it is spicy😂. Mango/papaya salad was super awesome and the beef we had was just wow. So it's really no wonder that you have to wait a long time for a reservation...But it's definitely worth it.

One of the best Pad Thai I've ever eaten. I just love it. Also Papaya salad is delicious.

The food is very good, prepared with fresh ingredients. You're happy to wait for it.

Very friendly service. Ambiance definitely has a street food style. Prices reasonable.

Great authentic Thai restaurant. As in Thailand, you can see the staff preparing everything, everything is freshly cooked and you sit on stools at tables. The quality of the food is top, the service is fast, friendly and attentive.

Immer wieder unglaublich lecker!

Wir waren auf der Durchreise und wollten mal thailändisch essen. Wir waren von dem Essen sehr positiv überrascht. Es war frisch, warm und sehr schmackhaft. Ich bin eigentlich nicht so der Fan von thailändischer Küche, aber hier hat es wirklich sehr gut geschmeckt. Die Kellnerin war sehr freundlich und das Essen kam sehr schnell. Das Ambiente des Restaurants ist etwas eigenartig. Man hat das Gefühl, als säße man in einer alten Berliner Kneipe, mit asiatischen Touch. Aber es ist alles ordentlich, sauber und nicht muffig. Von daher wertet es den Besuch keinesfalls ab. Und die Preise sind auch angemessen und bezahlbar. Wir haben zu zweit mit jeweils ein Getränk 33€ bezahlt. Falls wir wieder mal in der Nähe sind, werden wir hier wieder zu Gast sein

Die Frühlingsrollen waren thai-authentisch uns sehr lecker. Die Hauptgerichte Kaeng Phed Moo/Gai und Phad Thai (Rotes Curry mit Gemüse) waren sehr gut! Enzelbewertung Phai Thai: Reismenge genau richtig; nicht zu klebrig. Das Gemüse war perfekt durchgegart. Die Sosse war der Hit: Die Menge war richtig gut. Die Konsistenz der Sosse war super: Die Kokosnuss konnte man herausschmecken und die Chili-Schärfe war genau richtig. Schulnote: 1. Das Essen war richtig heiß! Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ebenfalls sehr gut. Uns hat es richtig gut geschmeckt und wir kommen wieder. "Da wo viele Leute sitzen, da schmeckt es." (Besuch 19. Januar 2024)

Super gut über die Straßenbahn zu erreichen. Essen ist auch super lecker, man kann bei jedem Gericht den Schärfegrad mitbestellen. Mitarbeiter alle super freundlich und vor allem relativ fix. Das Restaurant an sich ist sehr süß gestaltet, echt gemütlich.

Zum 1. Mal da gewesen und wollte mich überraschen lassen. Die Frühlichgsrollen mit hausgemachter Chilisoße sehr lecker. Die Pad Thai - Gebratene Reisbandnudeln waren sehr süß. Jetzt nachhinein, bin mir sicher, dass mit Pad See gewechselt wurde. Die Nudeln mehr gekocht als gebraten. Krapao Moo allerdings, sehr lecker, Bild beigefügt. Die Gerichte alle um die stolze Preise von 15 Euro...

Super essen! Großer unterschied zu anderen Asia Restaurants.

Das Essen ist super. Immer frisch, heiß, schnell und wirklich lecker. Vor allem Som Tam Thai und Mango Sticky Rice is mein go-to

Sehr gute Bedienung und mega Essen

Aufgrund einer Empfehlung von Freunden haben wir das Restaurant als Paar aufgesucht. Wir wurden leider auf ganzer Linie enttäuscht. Lange Wartezeit, ungemütliche und extrem laute Umgebung, schmuddeliges Blechgeschirr. Das Essen sowie die „hausgemachte“ Limo waren absolut nicht der Kracher, weder von der Konsistenz noch vom Geschmack. Zudem waren die Portionen eher klein und die Preise eher verhältnismäßig hoch. Den Service fanden wir in Ordnung. Vielleicht geben wir dem Laden noch mal eine zweite Chance, aber der erste Besuch hat uns leider nicht gefallen.

Hervorragend authentisches Essen

Sehr authentisch, fühlt sich an, wie eine Garküche in BKK. 😊

Sehr laut, die Vorspeisen waren sehr gut (dafür sehr teuer), Hauptgerichte eher zufriedenstellen, gebratene Reisnudeln fanden wir beide eher ekelhaft)

Noticed this place for a while and have been wanting to give it a try. The place is small, but cozy, the head waiter is very welcoming and efficient; even though we didn’t have a booking, he still managed to seat the four of us without any hassle. We ordered some traditional Thai food (Pad Thai, Massaman Curry and chicken skewers) and some Thai Milk Tea. It was busy, but we didn’t wait for too long before the food arrived. The food was great, and the milk tea was amazing. Highly recommended!!

Leider kann ich nicht viel sagen! Wir hatten Anfang Oktober einen Tisch für Dienstag Abend bestellt und naja was soll ich sagen! Wir waren dort nur laden war zu, auch wenn krankheit/Urlaub ect eine Info wäre schön gewesen! Vielleicht komm ich ja nochmal irgendwann in denn Genuss,bis dato eigentlich nur positives gehört

Der mit Abstand beste Thai in ganz Hannover.

Der Laden war richtig voll. Plätze doppelt bis dreifach besetzt. Das Essen war sehr sehr lecker, toll abgeschmeckt und vor allem richtig heiß. Kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Wirklich tolles Essen, was ich jedem weiterempfehlen kann! Aber... Ich habe zum Abholen bestellt und nach 45 min. Zubereitungszeit sollte ich das Essen abholen können. Vor Ort sollte ich draußen vor der Tür warten, da das Essen noch nicht fertig war. Letztendlich habe ich 55 min. auf mein Essen vor der Tür gewartet. Auf mehrere Nachfrage sollte ich mich ein wenig Gedulden. Nachdem ich nach 55min. ins Restaurant gegangen bin, war das Essen wohl gerade fertig geworden. Leider hatte ich das Gefühl, dass es einem auch Recht egal gewesen ist. Zum Abholen werde ich definitiv nicht mehr bestellen. Ich hatte 2x pad thai und einen Glasnudelsalat. Sehr Schade.

Die "vegetarischen" Frühlingsrollen sind auf Nachfrage gar nicht wirklich vegetarisch. Laut Allergenkarte kann in allen Lebensmitteln pauschal alles drin sein, was man so an Allergenen kennt. Eine Aufschlüsselung erfolgt somit nicht und man kann nicht sicher sagen was man essen kann und was nicht. Auf Nachfragen hat der Kellner auch eher herablassend reagiert. Schade, da das Essen ansonsten lecker war und auch ansonsten gut bewertet wird. Hier aber von mir keine Empfehlung.

Ser Beste in Richtung original Thai!

Hier gibt es sehr gute thailändische Küche authentisch und auch das Ambiente erinnert an den letzten Urlaub.

Top Thai Restaurant, sehr authentisch

Ich weiß nicht ob unsere Erwartungen zu hoch waren, nach dem uns gesagt wurde das dies der beste Thailänder in Hannover sein soll. Nach unserer Erfahrung eher nur Mittelmaß und es gibt deutlich Bessere. Essen hatte nicht besonders viel Geschmack. Gut sitzen ist auch nicht wirklich: Entweder draußen direkt an der Straße oder drinnen im starken Garküchen Geruch. Personal ist aber sehr freundlich.

Das Essen hier ist wirklich jedes Mal hervorragend. Ob vor Ort oder zum Mitnehmen, jedes Mal passt alles. Wir waren bestimmt schon 10 Mal hier. Service ist auch immer auf Zack und freundlich. Wenn man vor Ort essen möchte, auf jeden Fall einen Tisch reservieren. Der Laden ist dauerhaft gut besucht, eigentlich unabhängig von Tag oder Uhrzeit.
