Why I'm making MIMi

When I moved to New York, I didn't know where to eat. I couldn't even find a good slice of pizza.

Every place on Google Maps was a 4.7, 4.8 or 4.9. In Asia, a 3.8 and a 4.6 mean really different things. Here, everything looked the same to me.

So I checked TikTok. Then Instagram. Then Google again. No prices, and I still couldn't tell what was actually good. I ended up eating at McDonald's.

Later I noticed some people already have a trick for this. They find a place on Google Maps, then check RedNote to see what Chinese diners say about it. They trust that more than the stars.

I want to make that easy for everyone, for every kind of food, in one app. That's MIMi.
