Cutting-edge and delicious: Mifan restaurant

Traditional Chinese cuisine is uplevelled with a modern twist.

At the popular Ravenswood Chinese restaurant Mifan, the innovative young team are always looking to uplevel their food and create exciting new dishes.

‘Mifan’ means ‘cooked rice’ in Mandarin Chinese, and the restaurant’s deliciously authentic yet contemporary menu is as reliable as the much-loved grain.

Aesthetically pleasing with soft green, white, and grey hues, the dining space comfortably seats a maximum of 92 guests, alongside a sitting room for customers to savour the scent of takeaways to come.

Catering for large groups is a breeze – after all, that is fundamental to Chinese hospitality – and the team has a range of set menus suitable for differing group sizes and all kinds of events.

The team aims to produce food that meets the highest standards of quality, freshness, and seasonality – combining both modern-creative and traditional Chinese cooking styles. “We have some particularly popular dishes on our menu – the deep fried wontons and the dumplings,” says owner Shirley Xue.

“Customers can’t get enough of our chef’s specialities, especially the honey walnut beef fillet that was created for us by a chef from a Michelin-starred Shanghai restaurant.” Discover the delicacies for yourself; visit for lunch or dinner from Monday to Sunday.
