Kriss’s oxymoronic “upscale diner” features the usual suspects, such as chicken wings, fries, and burgers, but everything is finessed and fancified. Confit chicken wings are dotted with XO dashi jus; beet salad is invigorated with fresh burrata; and golden spuds are saddled up with bloody mary aioli.

Copy Link Run by chefs David Schwartz and Braden Chong, Sunnys is designated as the younger sibling of Mimi, but aside from a shared origin, the two restaurants are entirely different. Whereas Mimi is robust and romantic, Sunnys is light and website lively. Tucked within the bohemian confines of Kensington Market and down a nondescript hallway (with only a cardboard sign on the door), Sunnys plummets diners into a retro-chic Hong Kong cafe, complete with a rambunctious vibe that extends from the dining room to the patio oasis. Slide into a banquette or grab a seat by the chef’s rail to delve into playful dishes from Sichuan, Shaanxi, and the northern provinces of China.
