The Best New Restaurants Around Boston, July 2025 | Eater Boston

"Mimi’s Chūka Diner, a long-running pop-up by co-owners Ted Woo and Jon Awerman that fans followed all around the city for years, has settled into a permanent home inside Somerville’s Aeronaut Brewing. Woo and Awerman have transformed what was once the site of upscale tasting menu spot Tasting Counter into a cheery, classic diner. The space serves as a fun backdrop for Woo and Awerman’s take on chūka ryori, or Japanese adaptations of Chinese food. Don’t miss the crispy veggie gyoza, a hit from the pair’s pop-up days, or the ebi chili, stir-fried shrimp in a zingy chili sauce." - Erika Adams
