Mimi Garden is doubling down on dumplings. The Chinese spot that made a name for itself in The Woodlands late last year quietly rolled out a second location in Spring on Wednesday, bringing soup dumplings, bao and other favorites to a Sawdust Road shopping center, along with a slightly bigger menu and a more modern place to sit and stay awhile.

According to MiMi Garden's website, the Spring shop is at 202 Sawdust Road, Suite 110, and the original Woodlands location is still operating. The site also lists ordering details and hours for both spots.

What’s new at the Spring outpost

Community Impact reports that the new space "features a modern ambiance, enhanced service and a welcoming atmosphere," with Mimi Garden keeping its core dumpling lineup in place while adding Peking duck plus new lunch and dinner specials. The opening was confirmed Wednesday, and the story notes a photo of a swan-shaped durian pastry, priced at $12.

From The Woodlands to Spring

Local listings place the original Mimi Garden at 8021 Research Forest Drive in The Woodlands, where the restaurant built a following around hand-made dumplings and bao. Visit The Woodlands lists that address and highlights menu standbys such as dumplings, bao and a brown-sugar sticky rice cake.

What diners should know

Diners can expect the same hand-made dumplings and bao that put Mimi Garden on the local map, now paired with table-service touches and rotating specials at the Spring location. For menus, hours and online ordering, head to the restaurant's site at MiMi Garden.
