Our Story
Mi Bowl Meal's story is about embracing flavour, health and wellness, and community.
About Us
Mi Bowl Meal is Toronto’s first meal delivery service that caters to the Asian palate. Our weekly menus reflect the asian flavours that remind you of home.
Whether you enjoy our meals on your own, with friends or with family, we’ve designed our products and services to seamlessly integrate into your busy lifestyles.
Our Goals
We aspire to change the way people think about Asian food.
Asian food is sometimes perceived as unhealthy (e.g., greasy, salty, sugary, and full of carbohydrates). At Mi Bowl, we aspire to change that perception. We use healthy oils and minimize the use of sodium and sugar without sacrificing taste. While there are many weight loss and diet programs that focus on eating clean or eliminating certain foods altogether, we don’t believe that approach is sustainable over the long term. We focus on seeking balance by bringing you nutritionally-balanced meals that don’t sacrifice flavour. We believe that offering delicious and filling meals will help you seamlessly integrate eating well into your lifestyle over the long run.
We also believe that Asian food has a rich history and culture that needs to be shared. At Mi Bowl, we aspire to deepen our community’s understanding of Asian culture through cuisine. Launching in Fall 2023, our Rooted through Food campaign (#RootedThroughFood) explores the history, culinary techniques and traditions through our menu. Follow us on instagram for weekly posts.
Meet Our Team
Our team is made up of members who are part of the Chinese diaspora. We all have lived experiences growing up in Toronto, where we ate mostly asian flavours at home but were exposed to the multicultural flavours reflective of Toronto’s diversity. Food is one of the main ways we feel comfort and stay connected to our heritage, and we’re excited to bring that to you.
From Passion to Plate
Hank is Mi Bowl’s Chef and culinary extraordinaire. From a young age, he realized that he loves to cook and take care of people but it wasn’t until university that he realized how much he craved the asian flavours. Studying in Guelph, he found that there weren’t too many asian food options that were healthy and authentic. This set him on the path to create those meals himself. He started his culinary journey at the Four Seasons Hotel where he honed his skills and eventually decided to branch out on his own. By founding Mi Bowl, Hank’s vision is to create healthy asian-inspired meals that are accessible to people in the greater Toronto and surrounding area.
Fusing Business and Wellness
Sandra holds an MBA and has years of experience working in Toronto and Shanghai in creative marketing and managing roles. She has successfully helped several businesses start-up and is passionate about the role that businesses can play in shaping communities. Sandra is a strong believer that what we put into our bodies deeply impacts our physical and mental well-being. Her consciousness about health and love for Asian food is what motivated her to co-found Mi Bowl with Hank.
