Our team are celebrating an exciting win after being named the top Asian Restaurant in the 2026 Western Australia Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence!
The award was announced on Monday 10 August at the WA Awards gala at Pan Pacific Perth, bringing together hospitality professionals from across the state to celebrate excellence in food, service and hospitality.
The Hostplus Awards for Excellence are one of Australia’s most prestigious recognition programmes for the restaurant, café and catering industry, celebrating the very best in food and service. To be named among them, let alone at the top of the Asian Restaurant category, is a significant recognition that we’re proud to achieve.
For Miss Mi, the award is a celebration not just of what’s on the plate, but of the people who make the entire experience possible. None of this happens without the people who show up night after night to bring Miss Mi’s world to life: the kitchen team chasing flavour down every spice trail, the floor team’s invaluable warmth and care, and our loyal guests who return year after year.
Thank you to our valued guests, partners and supporters for being part of the Miss Mi journey and for continuing to share in the restaurant’s love of bold flavours, good food and great company.
Novotel Perth Murray Street’s Operations Manager, Vinay Mandava, highlights the team’s dedication to guests as the key factor behind this award.
“Winning this award is an incredible moment for Miss Mi and everyone who has helped build this restaurant into what it is today. It’s a reflection of the hard work, consistency and genuine care our team puts into every guest experience, every single day. We couldn’t be prouder.”
Director of Food and Beverage, Sharath Kancharla, echoes these sentiments, highlighting the creativity and innovation behind our success.
“This award belongs to our team. Our strength has always come from our diversity, chefs from different Asian backgrounds bringing authentic knowledge and family recipes to our menu. I’m proud of both our kitchen and floor teams for always showing up with enthusiasm to provide exceptional experiences for our guests. This win is proof of what knowledge, passion and authenticity can achieve.”
