    Underrated spot here on Lemmon! First time experience and it was great. Wish they gave more gyoza for the appetizer but the entree portion made up for that. It was served hot and ready, my mouth was watering! Their spice level was accurate and I was still able to enjoy the food without my stomach hurting afterwards. Our server was nice despite us coming in an hour before they closed. Very spacious and the tables are free to rearrange so if you come in a big party you can still sit together!

    Drunken Noodles
    Nishitha M.

    I ordered takeout for dinner - drunken noodles pad kee mao and it was really fresh and tasty. The portion size could have been more and also the spice as i selected the highest spice and it still wasn't spicy enough.

    Honestly I can't recommend this place enough! A true hole on the wall. You're getting authentic food for a fraction of the price. Very homey service, and the food comes out quick so you don't have a long wait.

    Papaya Salad
    Hyun P.

    I think this place is very underrated. I've been here several times and really like food here, especially the papaya salad they give you a lot of papaya. I also like the curry, and thai fried rice. I noticed the last 2 times I was here, there was a bleach cleaning product smell to the place (hope they change this because the smell is distracting when you're eating).

    Strawberry almond milk tea with tapioca boba

    Food was amazing! I ate it so fast that I forgot to take a picture of it. I also got some boba tea and it was delicious. We will be back next week!

    Fried rice with shrimp and spring rolls
    Ebone' W.

    So happy to find a good shrimp fried rice in the area. Now granted I'd only tried one other place that was close, but it wasn't good so my hunt continued. I could tell the shrimp were previously cooked as some were cold within my rice, and lacked the flavor of the ingredients added to the rice but it was still overall good. I also ordered 2 spring rolls which were good too, so I'd return and order this and their thai. I'll give it 3.5 stars for now (and round up) and adjust later if needed.

    I have no idea what's in this chicken recipe.

    ZERO STARS! Stay away from this place. My daughter just ordered food from WaiWai on June 7,221. The food has Maggots in it! STAY AWAY. I called Ken and let him know to stop serving this food. Health department needs to be noticed.

Ambiance- 9.5/10 Dim atmosphere with trendy vibes. Cool decor and Jenga to play while waiting for your food. If you don't like dark areas, you can sit outside with umbrellas providing shade. Service- 10/10 Our server was extremely helpful and nice. She recommended excellent dishes and even gave us a plate of chicken wings on the house! Value- 8/10 Good value, especially considering the quality of the food. Most sides were 5-10$, while the entrees were 12-16$. Portions were medium. Food Malaysian Roti- (2 pc, 9.5$)- 9.5/10 Was perfectly flaky and crispy. Came with a flavorful curry dipping sauce. Chili Garlic Edamame- (8$)- 7/10 Everything you would expect. However, it could have more of the chili garlic sauce. They do give you a complementary tray of spicy sauces (including chili oil), so this was not a big deal. Korean Twice Fried Wings- (5 for 14$)- 10/10 Wings were large, so one was the perfect appetizer for a single person. Coated in a heavenly gochujang garlic glaze. Nice and saucy while still being very crispy and juicy. Was my favorite dish we ordered. Pad Thai- (16.5$)- 8.5/10 Came with a fried egg, shrimp, and chicken. Had a hint of spice that elevated it from good to great. Curry Laksa Ramen- (16$)- 9/10 Very flavorful curry broth. Noodles were excellent and also came with tofu and a boiled egg. Overall, every aspect of the resturant was top tier. Would 100% recommend if you are near.

The lively tapas-style format is perfect for sharing, with highlights like the memorable fries with amazing dipping sauce. The energetic atmosphere and consistent execution make it a reliable choice for a fun group meal. The sheer variety means some dishes can outshine others, and it's better for a culinary adventure than for an authentic deep dive into any single cuisine. Prices are fair for the experience and sharing style. Verdict: A highly recommended spot for a lively dinner with friends. Ideal for trying many bold flavors in one sitting and enjoying the modern, communal vibe.

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.
