I love coming here for Lunch and Dinner. Their price point is so affordable and the value is amazing. Best Pad Thai in town, Pineapple Cashew Shrimp Fried Rice, Ginger Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Spicy Kung Pao oh so yummy! $6.50 martinis of the day, all day. $1 nigiri every Monday and Tuesday Night from 5:30pm-10pm with $2off all Sakes. Half priced bottled wines over $39 every Sunday, All Day! Gotta finish with the green tea cake or the sticky rice with coconut ice cream.

• Pros: Pad Thai, $1 sushi, mango martini, greentea cake, stickyrice

delicious and FLAVORFUL dishes

by meemz85 at Citysearch

I've been to a LOT of thai restaurants in LA and Dallas, but so far this one's my fave. Their dishes are so flavorful while other thai restaurants' pad see ew or pad thai are kind of bland. Their dishes are generally big portioned too. The only thing that irked me is that their spring roll did not have any meat or seafood in it. It was just lettuce and carrots or whatever else they put in it. Also Asian Mint is really pricey so its definitely worth it if you have a coupon.

• Pros: tasty fresh food
• Cons: pricey

Great find

by fireman77 at Citysearch

I did not have reservations and was seated immediately. The ambience is very metro-sheek. We ordered the crab fried rice...it was awesome, not expecting a whole soft shell crab AND crab meat in the rice. Also had the Asian mint roll. At first doesn't look so good but it is deep fried, what's not to love about that? The flavor of the mango sauce and seaweed texture wrapped in the spicey tuna was to die for. All in all, it was a great experience. The lychee sake wasn't too shabby either...better served cold.

• Pros: Mango Martini's, fried roll, fried crab, fried rice
• Cons: Rent-A-Cop in parking lot packing a pistol just to show his brute force, but was forgotten when I tasted crab

Fab Thai!

by MaryAnnThompsonFrenk at Citysearch

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"

NO ONE in this town who does it better.

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

Fantastic food

by sweetheart519 at Citysearch

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.

What a terrific place!

This place has great staff and excellent food!

>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....

>A must try!

My favorite restaurant!

by faberge4u2c at Citysearch

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

Best sushi, Thai food and dessert!! Friendly staff, prompt service

by juliehappyindallas at Citysearch

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.

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.

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)

Hip and cool and Tasty too!

by wolfevideo at Citysearch

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......
