How to get there:

From State 14, turn on Woodruff toward Greenville / I-385 interchange, second light on your right, just past a graveyard - you can’t miss their sign.

Hours of Operation:

Seven days a week. Lunch 11 AM-2:30 PM. Dinner 5 PM to: Monday - Thursday ~ 10 PM, Fri. & Sat. ~12 AM, Sunday 9 PM

Experience:

Casual, friendly, somewhat upscale - but not pretentious

Details:

After a five month “experiment” catering to the anal-retentive, and clearly ungrateful, anti-smoking crowd, MiMi’s has re-welcomed its smoking regulars back as of October 2009.

The ONLY Sushi and Japanese place in this area that accommodates smokers, Mimi’s Steakhouse of Japan consists of a Hibachi (cook at tables) dining room, sushi bar and bar/lounge. Food features Japanese (Hibachi), Sushi and a variety of asian small plates. You can order anything from any part of the restaurant. The Hibachi is decent, but the sushi and other asian fare is great.

And we must not forget to mention Devon - the best damn bartender in Greenville County.

NOTE: Do NOT confuse Mimi’s Japanese with Mimi’s Cafe - the latter is a chain of american bland fare and we are NOT welcome there.

Smoking Accommodation:

The bar, which is quite big, and two four-seater tables in the bar/lounge area. You might have to ask for an ashtray at those tables.

If you want Mimi’s Japanese to continue welcoming smokers, I strongly suggest you thank Mimi and/or Soong, the owners (siblings, not a couple), for welcoming us back. Let them know that you will frequent the place because the food is great, the people are wonderful and that we are welcome there.
