Editorial Review for Asian Mint – by Amanda Howe
The Scene
An unassuming facade masks a Bauhaus fantasy--white Eames-like chairs, clear cylindrical lamps, and modernist paintings of mint leaves. Leather banquettes stretch along the wall and divide dining space from sushi bar. The sophisticated look is by no means sterile; Mint hums with the bustle of busy waitresses and happy eaters.
The Food
While the menu updates Thai food with an American twist, purists will not be disappointed. All the favorites are on the menu: pad thai, flat noodles with spicy peanut sauce, and pad kee mow, wok-tossed noodles with fried egg, meat, bell pepper and chili-basil sauce. The Mint platter is a sampling of Vietnamese spring rolls, vegetable egg rolls and satay. The tom kha coconut soup is a bowl of savory Thai spices, chicken, green onion and mushroom. Save room for the green-tea cake, an attractive layering of green-tea ice cream, sponge cake and whipped topping.

I cannot reccomend this place enough. My wife and I try and eat here once or week or so and never seem to get tired of the amazing green basil fried rice which we so often order. Personally, I couldn't tell you if the sushi is good or not as there are so many sushi restaurants in town that we focus on the Thai when dining here. Furthermore, the service is always as friendly as it gets. I don't know where the heck other idiot reviewers are getting the idea that certain races get preferential treatment. The owner and much of the staff are Asian, I'm white, my wife is Hispanic, and we have friends who have eaten here of every race, creed, color, whatever who have never had anything but glowing remarks about the place. Go figure. On a side note, expect a little bit of a wait at peak hours on weekends. But, as they say, that's a pretty good indicator or a restaurant. Especially one that's still packing them in after three years.

My husband and I adore asian mint for its Thai food! 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. 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"
