it was not the best

by nic01312345 at Citysearch

One day i went to asian mint to get some dinner.it was crowded with a bunch of americans. So the waitress took us to a table, got some drinks, and went straight to ordering. The server was disrespectful and didnt come to the table that many times when i needed something. so when we were done we asked for the check. Just when we were leaving we said "Thank You" but the server just walked away with no manners. I thought that i was not treated with any manners. So i will of course not go backto asian mint again.

• Pros: It was clean
• Cons: not treated well

BAD Attitude

by pauldaltx at Citysearch

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.

Fresh sushi but not really a sushi bar. The service is terrible.

by grantmnelson_kc at Citysearch

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.

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).

Ah, but here is where my story takes an unfortunate turn...

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.

The second bummer was the really, REALLY bad service.

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.

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.

Bottom line: decent fish but the service ruined the experience. I will never go back.
