Mignon 9 keeps it simple: brunch by day, dinner by night. Two menus, no filler.
Brunch specials include the M9 Brunch Set (RMB128) with sausage, bacon, and smoked salmon.
Or opt for the Spicy Beef Benedict (RMB108) for a bold twist.
And then, dear reader, meet the M9 Dirty Burger (RMB108). It does not arrive in a neat stack. It arrives lounging, like a drunken aristocrat, in a pool of onion jus.
The wagyu patty has been charred to perfection on Mignon 9's charcoal grill, dripping with smoky chili glaze, and garnished with dried onions and slivers of cured ham.
The flavors are layered and complex—smokiness from the peppers, sweetness from the jus, richness from the beef—and the whole thing is unapologetically messy.
Cutlery optional.
Come evening, the menu shifts gear—the flavors grow deeper, the plates more ambitious, and the deft hand of the chef becomes unmistakably clear.
Started with Razor Clams in Garlic Butter (RMB108), a dish lifted with the salty sharpness of capers. Pieces of rice cake—golden on the outside, tender within—soak up the buttery goodness with satisfying intent. It's a dish that's both clever and comforting.
The Charcoal Roasted Pig Tomahawk (RMB158) arrives with the meat blushingly pink at the center, its edges kissed by charcoal flame—tender, smoky, its richness balanced by curls of zucchini and a vibrant Mediterranean-style sauce.
Chicken With Pepper (RMB188)—a whole spring chicken marinated with a blend of Sichuan peppers and spices—is perhaps the most quietly impressive dish on the menu.
It's not aggressively spicy, but rather fragrant and layered, with a whisper of sweetness and the distinctive floral heat of fresh green Sichuan peppercorns.
One of the chef's signature dishes, and rightly so, is the Sea Urchin Pot Rice (RMB288). Rich with the umami of uni and anchored by crispy Guilin-style fried pork belly, it gets brightness from slivers of Xiaoshan pickled radish and a final flourish of salmon roe—little pearls that burst with briny sweetness.
It's indulgent but balanced—a beautiful collision of Chinese and Japanese flavor. It also speaks to the chef's quiet confidence in working with niche, expressive ingredients—and knowing exactly how to make them sing.
