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]

It has been featured in several films and TV shows, including The World of Suzie Wong (1960),[1] Days of Being Wild (1990),[8] Moonlight Express (1999),[1] Street Fighters,[1] Goodbye Mr. Cool (2001),[8] Revolving Doors of Vengeance (2005),[1] Strangers (2018).
