Asian Mint

My husband and I adore asian mint for its Thai food! \r \r The Green Basil Fried Rice is to die for and the Tom Ka Gai is some of the best we have tasted anywhere in the world (and we've been blessed to try it in some of the best Thai spots around!) Not to mention the owner's own special fusion dessert recipees: Don't leave without the Green Tea cake or the Orange Mandarin Cake! No one else is offering fusion desserts, so its a truly unique direction that we hope the owner/pastry chef will continue to expand and expore! Also, they get the Thai iced tea RIGHT ...its creamy and refreshing, but not too strong, too weak, or too sweet. \r \r Lastly, I'd like to address the comments made earlier about those who felt asian mint prefers white customers: I'm not white and I've always been treated with the utmost respect and dignity anyone could possibly offer to a customer. I have many friends of every race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and culture you could imagine, and everyone who has had the pleasure of eating at Asian Mint reports on the heavenly service and fantasitc food. Its a very popular place, so be prepared to wait as not too many places are open late at night, but I garauntee that it will be worth the wait every time! Pros: Divine Thai, incredible fusion desserts, chic atmosphere Cons: Not any, unless you mind waiting during late at night when its truly ""happening"" more

I feel exactly the same with your comment my friend .I went there one and going to be my first and last .I feel like they intent only to service white American peoples more than another race .I wait to be seat for nearly 20 minutes but then white American couple come after me the waitress seat them before me I am very upset and ask for explanation from that waitress and she said that couple came before me when I hear that I just walk out from that restaurant and never be back there again more

I and my girlfriend just went to have lunch at Asian Mint yesterday because my American friend recommended me as it's Thai restaurant and I am Thai. When I walked in the restaurant, it's very small inside and there were all American customers. The host showed a little bit bad attitude against us and completely ignored us. We waited for almost 5 minutes, the host came back and told us to wait to be seated. I waited about 10 minutes more and saw that there were several tables available but the host didn't call us. The host was talking to the customers and didn't care if we were waiting. So, we waited about 15 minutes to get the table. After we were seated, the waitress quickly came to ask for drinks with no smile and we told her our drinks. She quickly came back with drinks and asked for orders. We told her our orders and I asked her if she is Thai. She looked at me and nodded with no smile and walked away with bad attitude. I asked my girlfriend what was eating her or if I said something wrong. My girlfriend said the waitress seemed mad to be asked like that. I never talked to this waitress again and she talked to my girlfriend only. The foods tasted so so, not bad but quite expensive compared to other Thai restaurants with better taste and a little bit cheaper. I have been eating out at several Thai restaurants and Asian Mint is the second one that got bad attitude like this in the past 7 years. The first one is also small restaurant and the taste is worst than Asian Mint. I ordered Pad Thai for $11 with chicken. If you want to eat shrimp, it's $3 more. So, if you are Thai or Asian, I would not recommend this restaurant. They got bad attitude. Asian Mint is for American customers. I will never ever go back there again, completely nightmare to me. I will tell all of my friend about this. I don't want them to waste money with unpleasant services.\r \r more

Okay, I travel all over for my job and I always check Citysearch for sushi restaurants when I go to a particular city (I admit, I'm a sushi snob.). Generally, I've had good luck with most of the site's recommendations but I absolutely must disagree with this one.\r \r On the upside, the dollar sushi night is pretty good but be aware there is a $10 minimum. The portions for the dollar sushi menu are incredibly small and the plate appeared way too quickly suggesting that the sushi was actually pre-prepared. I will say, however, that the fish was delicious - especially the yellowtail (which was as good as I've tasted anywhere).\r \r Ah, but here is where my story takes an unfortunate turn...\r \r When I travel, I usually end up eating dinner by myself and I typically eat at the SUSHI BAR. That way, I can converse with the chef, buy him a sake or two, and so on. Asian Mint does have seating at the bar but the sushi is prepared in the kitchen, out of sight of the patrons. That was the first bummer.\r \r The second bummer was the really, REALLY bad service.\r \r I was seated promptly - at the not-sushi bar - and ordered a Sapporo. I got my beer fairly quickly but then my waitress did a disappearing act. I had to wait and wait and wait for a different waitress to come by and ask if I had been helped. I ordered some edamame and some $1 sushi. When I didn't have enough sushi checked on my order to meet the $10 minimum requirement, the waitress rudely pointed at my order and said, ""$10 minimum."" Okaaaay... So, I added a couple more pieces of sushi to get it to $10.\r \r Within about 3 minutes, the sushi was basically thrown on the counter in front of me. By this time, I had finished my first beer and my glass sat empty. Luckily, there was a woman behind the bar who had access to the Sapporo and I was able to wave her down for a fresh one. I never did get my edamame. Man, oh man.\r \r Bottom line: decent fish but the service ruined the experience. I will never go back. more

My husband and I have been coming to Asian Mint since Nikki opened the door. the food quality and service have NEVER let us down. The spring rolls with shrimp are always fresh and dare I express my total joy when I spy my soft shell crab appitizer coming towards my table being carried by an always smiling wait staff? My husband and son swear by the yellow curry. Also the salon entree is wonderful. The bottom line is Asian Mint deserves to ALWAYS be at the top of the list. Oh, did I mention the Sake-Hitos? Or the Asian Sun, two fantastic drinks sure to put a smile on the cocktail hour face. Pros: fresh and tasty food Cons: get there ahead of the eating prime time for lunch or dinner or be prepared to wait for a table, BUT the wait is well worth the time spent visiting with friends before your table is ready more

This was my first experience at Asian Mint. FANTASTIC food. Modern decor, nice lighting. Friendly servers. Small place, too bad about the strip mall location. Seems like it deserves better. Highly recommended! Can't wait to go back. more

What a terrific place!\r This place has great staff and excellent food!\r > We were a large crowed (and in some cases demanding) and\r our waitress was able to handle everyone with grace and\r > professionalism! In a town full of great restaurants\r > the level of service goes a long way in keeping\r > customers coming back and creating that memorable\r > night out! A true differentiator. I have already shared this story with many\r > of my friends that have never been to this restaurant\r > and they are now planning to visit for the first time.\r >And don't forget the deserts. The green tea ice cream cake is my favorite! But a close second is the unusually green sticky rice desert. It was sweet with just a hint of toasted sesame.... \r >A must try! more

Excellent food and great service. The only thing they need is a better location! Such a good restaurant deserves to be in a better building, not a dingy shopping center. Pros: service, food, mood Cons: the shopping center it's in more

If you want to find a place for a good Thai or Thai fusion food, you shouldn?t miss this place - ASIAN Mint! I love Pad Thai. I try every place that has Pad Thai. There are 4 different Pad Thai offered in the menu. Luckily, we had a big group - big enough to order a lot of dishes to try. We ordered classic Pad Thai and Crispy Pad Thai (it?s crispy fried wonton pad thai!!). It?s very yummy! Pad See Ew is the other perfect dish ? yummy big flat noodle in brown sauce with broccoli and bok choi. The noodle is a little sweet which is just right for me.\r \r \r Sushi is a must-have thing!!! Asian Mint Roll and Yellowtail in Heaven Roll are incredible. If you love sashimi, try this one. The Asian Mint Roll is like sashimi salad in a roll with a tangy, ponzu-like sauce. Yellowtail in Heaven Roll is a fried sushi. It?s spicy and yummy. Our wait staff is nice and friendly. She is knowledgeable about the menu. she will be recommending you which dish you should get if you like something spicy or healthy.\r \r Don?t forget to save extra room for dessert. Try this ... Sticky Rice with Green Tea Ice cream. It?s fabulous. Pros: Perfect place for Sushi, Thai food. Yummy Dessert Cons: Long wait sometimes (during Fri and Sat) more

If you like royal thai, Chow Thai, or bangkok city you have got to try the best? ASIAN MINT! They have amazing tasty dishes. The spring rolls were so pretty I just wanted to look at them for a moment before biting into the freshest most ingenious flavors in a spring roll. The atmosphere is unlike most Thai restaurants that are dark and muted. This place is live and hip, with cool colors and bright green accents. They specialize in crazy twisted drinks and have a fantastic happy hour. If you are hip and cool, this is a place for you. If you are not but LOVE GREAT THAI, maybe a little hip will rub off on you ( big smile) seriously, take a trip to this location. They haven?t franchised yet, but should! Move over Pei wei?try a fresh tasty alternative to Chinese or Japanese . There is a new hip kid in town! Pros: great desserts too Cons: tucked in on 75 and forest...... more

Amazing Pad Thai, fantastic summer rolls and hands down a ?I?m not worthy? dessert! !! I must say though that the dessert was out of this world! I had the Orange Mandarin Cake topped with pineapple whipped cream icing and it was euphoric! I am serious, I have never ever had a dessert like this. The owners background is a pastry chef so if you are looking for an amazing culinary experience in an unexpected place, this is it. Casual and clean lines this restaurant is perfect for a first date or casual date. The food is excellent and the service speedy and polite. I really can?t say enough about the desserts though. Even if you are full to the brim, order a dessert to go?.She needs to open up a patisserie! Pros: GREAT PRICE, SERVICE AND DESSERT! Cons: A little hard to find, it's on the SW side of forest/ and 75 more

nikky, \r \r i would like to tell you that the food that you guys serve is awesome! we've been there two times and you guys haven't fail us! we had your crabby cakes, which my sisters and i love, esp. that house cucumber sauce that goes with it. The Crispy Pad Thai was so much fun to eat with each crispy wonton strips munching in our mouths. Although, the Pad Kee Mow and the Pad See Lew are two different noodle dishes with distinct seasoning, they were both very satisfying! We also had your Thai Red Curry and your Yellow Curry. We absolutely love both of it. The spices and the flavors were just right to the tongue. Now the desserts, we had a slice of your Refreshing Orange Mandarin Cake topped w/ pineapple whipped cream icing. It was definitely refreshing, but your Jasmine Creme Brulee topped everything. We thought it'll be another creme brulee like any other creme brulee, but your Jasmine Creme Brulee definitely proved us wrong. The Jasmine flavor that top the creme brulee was so soothing that I still can taste the flavor on my palate. \r \r Thank you for an awesome experience. I definitely would recommend your restaurant a place to go!\r \r lynn\r 0=) Pros: You don't want any food, definitely try the dessert! Cons: Be expecting little close confort in the restaurant. just for the fact that restaurant is small; however, it does have a nice atmosphere. more

Dear Nikky ? \r Your restaurant provides my family and friends with some of the finest dining available anywhere. I am always excited to expose new friends to your cuisine. One of our hobbies is fine dining and I can honestly say from Picasso at Bellagio to Sushi with Jimbo at Las Vegas? finest Sushi Bar ?Sushi House Manda?, to Dallas? finest restaurants, Asian Mint is currently my favorite overall. Your creative top end Sushi rolls are the finest that I know of. The Dallas Roll, Yellow tail in Heaven, and your new Spicy Tuna with Seaweed Salad are just fabulous! Any of your other sushi choices are noticeably superior to just about any other Sushi I know of anywhere. Then there is the Thai Beef Salad that originally brought us to your restaurant. I love it! I just can?t thank you enough for the wonderful experiences we have with every visit. Your restaurant is without hesitation deserving of a 5 star rating in food quality and service. I just hope that with your growing fan base that you don?t loose the magic. Congratulations for becoming one of Dallas? best kept secrets. \r \r We wish you the best continuing success. \r David in Dallas Pros: Great Sushi - Very Pleasant Staff - Nice Atmosphere after the sun goes down Cons: Getting harder and harder to get in quickly on Friday and Saturday nights more

I was out there at Asian Mint for lunch with a friend around noon.\r Long wait to be seated and long wait for our food. Service was slow and inattentive.\r Hoping the food would be worth the way but no. It was more Americanize then authentic.\r Slow to refill our ice tea drinks and bring our check. Use to live in L.A. were there are a lot of good authentic Thai restaurant but Asian Mint just isn?t one of them. \r more

The food was good, just read the menu carefully to see how they have made each dish unique. We haven't had desert yet, which is one of their specialties, so haven't seen the strength of the place yet. Seems rather average to me after a couple of visits. The dining area is small and feels cramped. Best asian place in the immediate area that we have found. We went there for lunch one time and the manager talked loudly on the phone the whole time in the dining room. It was rather unprofessional, and distracting, since we were nearby. Pros: Food good. Cons: Dining room cramped. more

We have eaten at Asian Mint since it first opened, and they have the best Pad Thai in town! We love their menu, the drinks are excellent, and the service is always great. more

I thought the food was wonderful. I however didn't like the fact that their chairs were so close together... more

My girlfriends and I try a new restaurant for our monthly ladies night, today we tried Asian Mint; AMAZING. Each of us gave the restaurant 4 stars. The service was incredible with a wonderful, and happy staff and they didn't hover. The menu carries a large variety, which in my case proved to be not so great because i spent 1hr reviewing the menu and all i ended up with was red curry, boooooooooring!!! but it was yummy all the same. However, my girlfriends were adventurous and some ordered the pineapple, shrimp fried rice, AWESOME. Also if you want to try a delightful dessert try the green tea cake, it's very light and won't leave you on a sugar high. Also the price was pretty reasonable, some had a drink, appetizer, entree, dessert and the price was $30. Pros: everything more

I frequent this restaurant a lot because they have really good food and good service. I have tried several things off the menu (crab fried rice, pad thai, tom yum soup, salad, etc..) and have never been dissapointed! Can't go wrong when ordering~ the chocolate brownie with green tea icecream is the best! Pros: friendly staff, delicious food Cons: long wait time(sometimes) more
