Mido Cafe (Chinese: 美都餐室) is a cha chaan teng and bing sutt located No. 63 Temple Street, at the corner of Public Square Street, in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong.[1][2]
Mido Cafe was established in 1950.[1][2] It occupies the ground and first floor of a four-storey concrete building, and has retained a number of original features, such as wood booths and floor and wall tiles of that era.[3]
It suddenly closed on July 18, 2022 via a letter on the door, which did not specify if this was a temporary closure or a permanent closure.[4] After a pause of three months, the restaurant reopened its doors for business on October 28, 2022.[5][6][7]
