Love this place could eat here every day! The food is never disapointing. I had the pad thai, salad with lime dressing, and green tea cake (very good a must have). Another must have is the sakijito! YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! This is a gem!!!! But be for warned sushi takes a long time to get.

• Pros: food, drink, staff
• Cons: sushi wait

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.
