This time, I got the Phorrito and the Angry pho with brisket, along with a horchata. The horchata was delicious and refreshing, it had a lot of cinnamon flavor but I wish the drink could be more creamy. The phorrito was great and I love the broth they gave on the side. I think it's a bit more concentrated than the regular broth they use for pho. The pho itself was good, it's not your traditional Viet pho you get outside, it's more of a fusion pho where the broth isn't clear at all. If you're coming here for the first time, I would recommend trying out the platters so that you could try out more food all at once!

The star of the meal was definitely the Oak Smoked Salmon. The yuzu added a bright citrus note and the seaweed salad paired perfectly with it. We sat outside and really enjoyed the city vibe with cars passing by. Service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and never made us feel rushed or like a bother for all our requests.

One person's drink was very flat, and it was promptly fixed and the server brought us another app on the house! Drink: Yuzu Spritz - perfectly sweet and so so refreshing! Loved! Snacks: Brussel Sprouts and Corn Fritters - Both were delicious, but the corn fritters stole the show. Flavorful, crispy, and savory! Must order!

I came here for my birthday dinner with my friends and loved every minute of my dining experience…read more We were seated in the lounge for happy hour and small bites. I could go on and on raving about how unique and fresh everything tasted but I think pictures speak louder than words. We ordered some traditional Japanese items such as snapper nigiri and karaage. We also ordered Nobu's creations. Everything was delicately cooked and beautifully presented to us. The lounge vibe was perfect as it allowed my friends and I to have our own space while being able to see the sushi bar from the side. Miguel was our server and he was super attentive and courteous throughout the whole night. The food runners were also very polite when stopping by our table asking if we were enjoying our food. My dinner ended with a special dessert. It was a piece of their Caramel Sobacha Brownie. I loved the earthy chocolatey taste of the tea and chocolate combined together. I had a very pleasant birthday celebration, thank you again!

It's a delicious selection made with no carb Shirataki noodles, shrimp, chicken, house made tamarind sauce, egg, scallions, bean sprouts, and crushed peanuts. The waitstaff was very friendly when I got there for Pick Up. The vibe, as always, was lively and relaxed while I waited for my order. Fortunately for me, my order was ready earlier than predicted. I was hungry and really looking forward to digging in. My Shirataki Pad Thai was still warm when I got home, so I was not disappointed. Whether dining in or picking up, I can always count on the consistency of my nearby Asian Mint restaurants to provide a delicious, quality meal.

It's an unassuming location but once you step through the doors you're met with ambient lighting, wooden table tops and benches. We arrived around 11 and were greeted immediately; sat within 5 mins. Once sat, you scan the menu to order. There's plenty Korean and Asian fusion dishes to choose from. We ordered a number of things and everything was fresh and plentiful. I'll say the standout was the bulgogi and lemon pepper wings. Also, the fries were stellar! Needless to say we'll definitely be back!

I stopped by another Korean spot first, but they told me a solo diner had to wait. After 10…read moreminutes, I said "forget it" and wandered into this place instead. When I walked in, the place was empty. I stood at the "Please wait to be seated" sign for way longer than necessary--especially since there were no other customers. I finally peeked in and saw two employees busy counting receipts and money at the register. (Bad Impression #1). After being seated, I was actually enjoying the music until I felt something sticky on my forearm. It was a stray bean sprout left on the table (Bad Impression #2). To make matters worse, the tables are incredibly low. Even at my height, I had to hunch over the entire time. I eventually gave up on table manners and just held the rice bowl up to my face to eat comfortably. Regarding the food: it was a bit salty. The kimchi fried rice was average, but the kimchi stew really missed the mark. That was the moment I realized this is a fusion spot, not authentic Korean. It wasn't horrible, but it's definitely different from the real thing. BUT, can we talk about the massive portions? (Good Impression #1). Everything is clearly meant to be shared. The service was actually good. They have a buzzer on the table for service, which I loved. It saves you from having to track down a waiter. (Good Impression #2). The ambiance is loud, poppy, and "hip." You better like K-pop if you're coming here. It's not a first-date spot because it's hard to hear each other, but it's a solid place to hang out with friends who like the genre. Will I come back? Not actively. But if someone else suggests it, I won't fight them on it.

As soon as we sat down we ordered a round of drinks (my lychee martini was DELICOUS) and a Chicken Karaage. Unfortunately, we quickly noticed that there was a hair in the chicken. We let our waitress know and they were quick to replace the dish for us, no questions asked! The flavor of the karaage was delicious so definitely glad they were quick to fix this issue. One of the people dining with us has a serious fish allergy and the restaurant staff was super accommodating and found something that he could have off the menu. They went so far as to remove the glaze from the brisket since it included fish sauce. Overall the food and the drinks were delicious and the staff was great! We will definitely be back to try more of the menu and enjoy their outside dining area when the weather is nice!

I ordered the Thai wings, and when they arrived, I immediately noticed an unpleasant smell. I took one bite and sent them back. They had no real flavor, and the smell made them hard to eat. I then got the crispy chicken sandwich. It was somewhat salty, but it also tasted like it had been fried in old grease, which left a bad taste in my mouth. My wife ordered the fried ribs. After asking for some sauce to go with them, they actually ended up being the best thing we ordered. Even so, the lingering aftertaste still reminded us of old grease. The drinks were decent, but overall this is not a place I would come back to or try again.

Every plate has its own personality. The service strikes a good perfect balance: attentive without hovering, warm without being over-the-top. It feels personal. I genuinely find myself already thinking about what I'll order next. The Mongolian Beef deserves its own spotlight. The sauce is rich and savory -- the kind that makes you slow down so you don't finish it too fast. The beef is tender and generously portioned, and the broccoli and carrots are cooked just right -- tender but it's never been soggy. It's the kind of dish where every bite is savory and satisfying. Safe to say, it's my current favorite... for now. The Pad Thai Woon Sen is a completely different experience in the best way. The clear noodles are light yet incredibly flavorful, and the tamarind sauce brings this beautifully layered tangy-sweet depth that builds with every bite. It's balanced, vibrant, and simply delicious -- the kind of dish that keeps you going back for "just one more time." The staff is friendly, approachable, and genuinely helpful when you're trying to decide between dishes. You never feel rushed, and their recommendations feel thoughtful rather than scripted. And then there's the bar -- a hidden gem. The cocktails are delightful and refreshing, crafted well without being overly complicated. The drink menu offers great variety without overwhelming you like some trendy spots tend to do. It's the perfect place to unwind before dinner or linger a little longer after your meal. Asian Mint delivers bold, distinct flavors, thoughtful service, and a surprisingly fantastic bar -- all wrapped into one place. Definitely worth the repeat visits.
