Vancouver’s plant‑based crowd is going to feel this one.
The Chinatown restaurant, MILA, announced on its Instagram page on October 18th that its five‑year run will end soon.
The final day of service is set for Friday, November 14, so there is a short window for goodbye dinners.
Since 2020, MILA has been a go‑to for date nights, catch‑ups, and birthday spreads.
It took over the former Juniper space on Keefer Street and leaned into warm lighting, a polished bar, and a playlist that always seemed to fit the night.
The team behind Virtuous Pie launched the concept in 2020, and early on, Red Seal Chef Jim Vesal helped shape a menu that mixed comfort with polish.
It never stuck to one lane, which was part of the appeal.
Here, you’ll find sushi‑style oshi, bao, bowls, hearty noodles, and a solid cocktail list.
Weekend brunch brought bennies and sweet plates, the kind you negotiate to split.
It was also one of those rare spots where mixed‑diet friend groups happily met in the middle.
If you are planning a last visit, aim to book a reservation.
MILA joins other closing spots in Vancouver, such as Potluck Hawker Eatery, Mister Kitsilano, and Hon’s Wonton House Broadway.
