    Sautéed R1. Stir Fried Cubed Beef Tenderloin Rice Dish (8 Oz.)
    Lisamarie W.

    I ordered pickup and my order was ready on time and the staff iwas friendly. Sautéed beef tenderloin tips were tender and flavorful. I will order this dish again.

    Fast service, tasty food. Seems to be a well known stop for the community. We are happy to have discovered it. It was a bit cold sitting in the middle of the restaurant as the door swung open and the cold draft came in. If possible, snag a booth! We enjoyed crab Rangoon for appetizer, and a variety of dishes for dinner. The Mongolian beef stood out as the favorite but all were enjoyed. Happy to see chili sauce and sriracha at the table since the food wasn't spicy enough for us. A solid stop for a variety of Asian dishes!

    Birds nest with combination meats
    Maria R.

    This was my first time here and the place was so beautifully lit, clean, and cool. It was so packed i knew it would be delicious. Let me start by saying the staff was very attentive and friendly. Second i just had to try my favorite crab Rangoon's. They were the best in reno. I also had to try the birds net with combo meat. I loved the sauce and i would so go for the shrimp only next time. Dragon fruit boba and the calamari were so delicious. The ribs were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Defiantly returning to try new things!'

    War H2. Wonton Rice Noodle Soup
    Sophie R.

    What great service! I had called to make sure the wait wasn't long on a Saturday night, and when we arrived, they had a table waiting for us! That's 5-star service in my book. The decor is fresh and clean. The offset lighting creates a warm, friendly mood. We started off with shrimp spring rolls which were paired with a peanut sauce. They were chewy and lightly salted. The peanut sauce was a good accompaniment giving the textures more flavor. We moved on to the Spicy Noodle Soup which was lightly spiced, warm and delicious. The addition of chili oil upped the spice meter and made it even better. The war wonton soup was desperately needed because I was fighting a cold and wanted something warm and light. That fit the bill perfectly. Between the outstanding service and the delicious food, we were warmed and our bellies were full on a cold winter weekend night. Definitely a spot that we will not drive by without stopping.

    I'm upping my rating here because this was a markedly better experience than I had 4 years ago. I'm not sure if ownership changed, but they've had a great presence on social media as of late, and that coupled with the ever increasing number of 5 star reviews and delicious photos added to their Yelp page put them back on the radar. So while looking for a good spot for a group, we decided to give the a try again. Their Instagram had been showcasing oxtail and beef rib pho, and I had my heart set on the ribs. The presentation of the dish was very impressive, and it came with two tender beef ribs to be enjoyed with the broth and noodles. The beef ribs fell off the bone beautifully and had just enough hanging on to gnaw on. The noodles were well cooked and the toppings were also fresh. The broth itself was not my favorite of all time. Not bad but also not as rich and complex as those I tend to repeat over and over. I found it a bit bland and greatly benefitted from a hit of lime, some chili, and all the condiments. I still devoured the whole bowl. The calamari appetizer was damn good though. Nice and salty with tender squid rings encased in a light and crispy batter, accompanied by some wok tossed peppers, onion, and chilis, all of which ended up in my soup. My father in law got the grilled pork pho, and that caught my attention as something novel and new. I also noticed the pan fried noodles on the menu and coming from the kitchen, which looked phenomenal! I'd like to come back and explore more of the Menu outside the pho. Maybe that's just not my thing here and something incredible is waiting to be discovered!

    One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Reno, without a doubt. I've been coming here consistently for the past two years, and the food has never disappointed. Go to dishes will always be their Bún Bò Huế and Spring Rolls. The Bún Bò Huế was bold, rich, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of heat. The noodles were cooked well, and the portion came with plenty of meat. The Spring Rolls were fresh and light, but the real standout was the peanut sauce - rich, creamy, and easily one of the best I've had. It paired perfectly with the rolls and really elevated the dish. Not pictured here is their vermicelli which I order pretty much weekly, so light but flavor packed. Their grilled meat is no joke. Service was very fast and friendly. The staff was welcoming, and the food came out quickly. The space itself is clean and inviting. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu here!

    P5. Rare Beef Pho
    Jane M.

    Rare beef pho hit the spot! Really tasty and a great place to have some yummy pho. Not a long wait and service was friendly. I like that they give each person their own plate of toppings. I liked that it wasn't super crowded inside and no long wait.

    Tofu spring rolls
    Morgan J.

    La Mint is one of my favorite places to eat when I want something comforting and nourishing. They have so many vegan options, but I don't even look at the menu anymore because I always order the same thing: the vegan pho with tofu, fresh spring rolls, and jasmine tea. The broth is clean and flavorful without feeling heavy, the veggies are always fresh, and the tofu is perfectly done. I love that they bring out a plate of fresh herbs so you can customize your bowl. It feels intentional and elevated without being over the top. The owners are always present, walking around and checking in, which I really appreciate. You can tell they genuinely care about the experience. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and consistently spotless. I actually love coming here by myself. It's peaceful, cozy, and grounding. It's become my little solo ritual spot, and it's pretty much the only place I eat pho.

    First off this place is beautiful. My fiancee and I went for a lunch date and when we walked in we both went "wooow"...lol.. colorful and welcoming and they even have a Instagram spot by the door to take a pic. Lol.. The staff were welcoming, nice and super quick. We had a couple questions and the staff were quick to answer. The menu was a good size and alot of yummy looking items. I got the lunch combo/special. It comes with a yummy soup that was so fresh, so clean, and so light with good flavor. I forgot what the name of the soup was but it was perfect. It had a thin piece of chicken, greens and green onions and little fried onions. So good. My main entree was sweet and sour chicken , rice and a egg roll.. the sauce on the chicken was sweet but not too sweet and no bad after taste. I added the chili paste thats on the table to the chicken and it was amzing.their chili tasted different than any other one ive had and I loved it. My fiancee got a steak cold noodle bowl with lemon grass dressing.. the noodles being cold and the meat warm and mixed with the dressing it just went so well in your mouth. This bowl was huge! Enough to share. Everything was so fresh and good quality. Good portions and good pricing. Can't wait to go back and try more items..

    We started with the Potstickers 10/10!!
    Amanda L.

    First time here and it was beyond amazing and I am so excited to come back. The staff was terrific, the inside is beautifully decorated and very clean. This place can definitely accommodate large groups of people. It is also 100% an absolutely perfect spot for a lunch date. And leftovers the next day are incredible! I had the stir fried beef and lemongrass vermicelli noodle dish. The flavors were sooooo good! I'm so excited to go back, I honestly can't wait. There's so much more that I'm looking forward to trying. Thank you so much La Mint staff, we hope you stick around for a very long time.

    Watered down pho
    Victoria V.

    Overall service score - 1 star Food score -2 star We came in roughly 45 min before closing. First impressions are everything and this was not a good first impression. We were in and out in less than 25 min. A short, stout Hispanic lady let us pick our seat, she threw the menus onto the table towards my wife! When I sat down, I said thank you for the condiments and she said "mhmm." She brought waters and I said thank you again, and she did not even respond. She did not welcome us, but instead made it feel like there was animosity. She had a huge attitude when we first came in and made my wife SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE to the point of us debating on even eating there. The egg rolls were barely warm, not hot whatsoever. The inside was super thick with pork, we decided not to finish it because it was that bad. Ordered Bun Bo Hue (when I got it, the broth looked like plain water, when it supposed to be very vibrant red/brown.) My wife's pho broth tasted like water as well. Flavors were just NOT there. We did not finish our food because it was plain Jane. The inside has nice decor but that was the best part about the whole place. An older Asian gentleman did help us and was a lot nicer. So I appreciate him, but not the stout Hispanic chick. We decided to never come back here as of today. The 2 stars is for the decor and one nice Asian man.

    Why is there a time limit to eat here?

    There is a time limit if you send the food back to the kitchen. They will print out your check and put it on your table even if you never requested the check.

    Do they serve Imperial rolls? The difference between Imperial rolls and egg rolls is the wrapper. Imperial rolls are wrapped in rice flour wrappers. Egg rolls (Chinese style) are wrapped in wheat flour wrappers. Both are deep fried.

    Sorry we don’t have the rice flour wrapper rolls at the moment. Thank you for your question and have a nice day!

We revisited The Wok Chinese Cuisine because we had wonderful experience in their food before. However, this time, we specifically ordered Sichuan style Chinese food because my wife love some spicy.

The ahi tartare portion anywhere else would have been a shareable appetizer. But each person was served a large portion of delicious fresh ahi. Mmmm this course and a glass of wine could be dinner alone any other evening. The soft creamy rich egg custard was hidden under a thick seafood gravy. I really enjoyed this unique dish. The miso black cod is always flaky and delicious. And the crab fried rice it's nestled on also never disappoints. The rich New Zealand stir fried lamb and shiitake mushrooms over pea shoots was a fabulous hearty dish on this chilly March evening. The braised short ribs were so tender no knife was needed, they flaked apart with the fork. And the e mein noodles were perfectly al dente. The dinner wrapped up with a crème brûlée that only Kwok's could pull off - red bean. Creamy smooth. Not overwhelming. The perfect burnt sugar layer on top. The regular menu is just as delicious. Small inside seating area, so recommend always make a reservation. In the summer there's a fabulous patio area out front. Limited street parking.

In case you're not aware, though the name of this restaurant references a specific city in northern China and the menu has dishes from across the country, their specialty is the spicy and numbing cuisine of the Sichuan region. If you've never had this before, when you see dishes listed as spicy, they may be very different from what you're thinking. It's certainly can be a polarizing experience, with many loving this flavor and many not into it at all, but the broad menu makes this a great call for everyone. Now I love dining with others who are familiar because it lets you explore the menu through their eyes and enjoy selections made by others with taste diverse from yours. My friend picked several dishes I would've never noticed or ordered blindly this time, and I'm so happy about that. We enjoyed the cold Woodear or black fungus in chili oil, classic snow pea tips with garlic, as well as the quintessential Sichuan cumin lamb, but the other three dishes we had were 100% new to me. Those included Sichuan snails (unshelled in an oily spicy stir fry), scallops with garlic and vermicelli, and crispy spicy intestines. The snails were a win. These are small and somewhat chewy morsels that get wok fried with fried chili, chili oil, peppers and onions. The texture is similar to sautéed calamari, but a bit firmer, and the sauce coats everything with that signature numbing heat. The scallops were the big miss. This dish typically comes in the half shell with fresh scallops, but here they're using a lower quality scallop (likely frozen) and a lot of pre-minced garlic (like you'd find in a jar). It looks impressive but the scallops had absolutely not flavor and the texture was rubbery too. Skip this one for sure. The intestines were the surprise. I've had fried intestines and they crunch like a chip and have no distinct flavor that lets you know what you're eating. These were sliced on the bias and wok tossed until super crispy on the outside with a delicately chewy interior. The sauce really amplified the flavor and this all made for a great bite within the whole meal. All in all, this is a home run. If you haven't been, I urge you to check it out, as it's one of the best authentic Chinese restaurants around.

The best by far was his friends Szechuan Beef, which would probably have me come back just for that. The restaurant is in a cute little strip mall and the interior was quite cozy and attractive. The service was also a letdown, as there was no friendliness, no smiles, just clinical service.

I like that there are veggies with it and the noodles have a good chew, but I've found zero dishes with anything near Thai spices here My partner got the pad thai, which was sickly sweet yet didn't taste like tamarind, fish sauce nor contain pickled veg. The wood ear in it was excellent, but I've never seen it in pad thai. The thai ice tea was good, maybe a bit heavy on sweetener. I don't understand the high ratings here, based pireh on food. Thai Chili has far better flavors, and is rated lower. The wait staff/food runners lacked politeness, and never checked if we enjoyed our food or needed anyone. Sans the person filling everyone's water, we were never checked on in any other capacity. The restaurant was a cacophony of noise and conversation, I had to lean across the booth to have any chance of hearing my companion. The noise level is overwhelming if you have sensory issues at all. The decor is pretty cool.

    One of my favorites in Reno. The staff and service are always wonderful, I've been going here for…read moreyears and still recognize most of the same staff which I take as a good sign. They have a great lunch special with plenty of options which is what I'm usually there for, but outside the lunch special I love the beef chow fun with black bean sauce. Tried the chow fun at other places in town but this is still my favorite by far. The potstickers are very good and packed with meat but a bit pricey. Overall a very strong recommendation, anyone easily recommend the lunch special for anyone's first visit. Also, honorable mention to the hot and sour soup. It's always great and I bought a ton of it to get me through a few days when I got a wisdom tooth taken out :v)

    My wife knows how much I love Chinese food, so when she came across a TikTok review of Palais De…read moreJade, she asked if I had ever been. I hadn't, but I had definitely heard of it. We decided to make it our next date night spot. We went on a Friday around 5:30 and it wasn't very crowded yet. They asked if we preferred a table or a booth, and we went with a booth near the front. The restaurant itself is really nice, but I'll say the booth felt a little tight. Next time, we'll probably go with a table for a bit more space. The service was top notch. The staff was incredibly attentive, and our drinks were constantly refilled. Our glasses were never empty, which always stands out. About 15 minutes after we sat down, the place filled up fast. It seemed like most people coming in had reservations, so I'd definitely recommend making one if you're planning to go after 6 pm. We decided on the Shanghai Dinner. I ordered the sweet and sour pork, and my wife got the sweet and sour chicken. I was tempted by the cashew chicken and kung pao chicken, but we'll save those for next time. The appetizers were amazing. The meal comes with spring rolls, crab rangoon, paper wrapped chicken, and honey glazed BBQ spareribs. Everything was delicious. My wife loved the paper wrapped chicken, and for me, the ribs were the standout. They were tender with just the right hint of sweetness. Honestly, I could've eaten a full plate of just those and been happy. For sides, I had the egg flower soup, which was really flavorful, and my wife had the salad. She could not stop talking about how good the dressing was. Both the sweet and sour pork and chicken were great. The sauce had that perfect tangy, slightly sweet flavor. That said, next time we probably won't order the same sauce for both dishes. I think pairing something like sweet and sour with kung pao would give a better balance with a little heat to cut through the sweetness. Overall, this place is a winner. Great food, solid portions, and the price is very reasonable at about $33 per person for the Shanghai Dinner. My wife enjoyed everything so much that after seeing another table order the duck, she's already talking about coming back to try it. I've been trying to get her to try duck for a while, so I'm looking forward to that next visit. We'll definitely be back.
