look nice , but not the best thai food are service

by pkham75 at Citysearch

I was out there at Asian Mint for lunch with a friend around noon.

Long wait to be seated and long wait for our food. Service was slow and inattentive.

Hoping the food would be worth the way but no. It was more Americanize then authentic.

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.

Best in the immediate area. We like the food better at Peiwei, but decor is nicer at Mint which is unique.

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.

Best Pad Thai and drinks!

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.

ladies choice

by 2ndthursdys at Citysearch

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
• Cons: none

Great food

by sonic35 at Citysearch

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)

Okay sushi, I guess

by lindsaybee1 at Citysearch

A group of us went here for the $1 sushi night. The pieces they serve for $1 night are pretty small, so we ended up spending as much or more than we would have otherwise. I just tell you this so that you can feel free to go ANY night; don't go for the specials. The sushi itself was pretty good, though; we liked it. My only complaint was that the "vegetable rolls" appetizer had chicken in it (not listed on the menu), which was kind of upsetting since I don't eat chicken.

Good for Dallas, but not great overall.

by 23fengshui at Citysearch

I have to agree with j_smile, hcflowers and the editors -- it's not authentic Thai at all. Very Americanized, i.e., sweetened up and lacking the spices. No different than PF Chang's for Chinese. That being said, it's still pretty good for what it is so I don't really mind that it's not authentic. Just please save the superlatives ("the BEST Thai in the world!!!") for informed opinions.

I doubt Dallasites can handle real Thai food, anyway, which is spicy enough to make your earwax melt. This is safe, predictable fare.

• Pros: Tasty, safe choice; attentive service.
• Cons: Thai-lite for the masses; just like La Madeleine (Ameri-French) and PF Chang's (Ameri-Chinese).

Trendy, but not authentic.

by j_smile at Citysearch

Tried this place twice. Both times have failed to meet my expectations. The 1st time, I ordered the radnah entree. It was way too soupy!! The 2nd time, I ordered sushi. It tasted like it had been prepared days ago, and wasnt fresh at all. Plus the sushi chef weren't even in sight; so we assumed they were in the kitchen. What does that say about that?! The food is Americanized, so being Asian myself, don't expect to get a taste of the traditional. It's a nice trendy place, but go elsewhere for the food.

• Pros: Nice atmosphere
• Cons: Food too bland, service was unattentive

There is Nothing Better

by tbecs at Citysearch

I had a business dinner here a few weeks back. Everything was to die for. The sushi and sashimi were incredible, my mouth is still watering. The drinks are one of a kind and spectacular. If you get anything make sure it is the house specialty, trust me you wont go wrong. Finally the best dessert going anywhere in the world bar none. Green tea cake is scrumtrulesent. I do not think I can even go to another restaurant anymore and have Thai or Sushi, it just wont be the same. Futher more the atmosphere is clean and peaceful, the staff and host are truly wonderful. Asian Mint is THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

• Pros: Absolutely Everything.
• Cons: Asian Mint is not in every town in America

What does $1 get you?

by tiffywynne at Citysearch

I have been going to this restaurant on $1 sushi night since it opened about a year ago and always walked away pleased, but last night I was really disappointed. The place has gotten really tight-fisted with their fish! I couldn't believe the super-mini-sushi portions I got! What a jip! I won't be back.

• Pros: small restaurant
• Cons: most of the waitresses hardly speak english
