It was truly fortunate due to their very short hours (noon to 4pm) and we got there around 3:15pm. Also, we are Asians and had tried several Asian restaurants from Paris to Brussels to Marseille during our two weeks vacation, yet we had no luck (although the one we picked all have good google/TripAdvisor ratings). My faith in Asian was restored at Mi U Mi. My favorite dumpling in chili oil is from Din Tai Fun in the US, and the dumpling from Mi U Mi is far better than Din Tai Fun version. The dumplings came in different colors with different types of filling, all tasted very juicy and yummy. The dumpling skin has perfect thickness not to be easily broken yet not too chewy. The best part of this dish is the flavorful sauce, a great combination of spicy, sour, sweet, and salty. They also had condiments on the side with chili paste and something green (I guess pickles, I didn’t try tho). Overall this is a surprisingly great experience and we did come back two days after to have the dumplings before we left Nice.

I did have the craving since I'm Asian and I thankfully found this restaurant. I ordered the chao shou and asked for spicy. Yes, I absolutely got epice! I also got the riz garni poulet epice. Yum, omg, the food was unbelievably good. My French bf got the colorful raviolis and he said they were really good. He also ordered vermicelles au porc which I ended up eating because it was too spicy for him and he ate my poulet. When the menu is also in Chinese, you absolutely know you're in for a treat. Please please visit this restaurant if you want excellent Chinese food. Definitely recommend. 5 stars!
