Customer Reviews
Have not been back to Mint Leaf for a few years now. We met family there last night and loved it. The atmosphere is authentic Thai. The food was very good but we needed our chili 🌶️ sauce as we like our Thai food spicy. The presentation of each of their dishes was the best we have ever seen. Beautiful. No corkage is an extra plus as we love to take our own wines to restaurants. .
My husband and I recently dined at this Thai restaurant on a Saturday for lunch and were highly impressed with the variety of dishes offered. The restaurant provides a separate vegetarian menu, which was a welcome addition. We began our meal with Fresh Sesame Rolls and Fried Tofu as appetizers, along with a rich and aromatic coconut milk soup. The soup was not only generously portioned but also expertly seasoned and well-balanced in flavor. While I typically enjoy tofu but do not consider it a favorite, the Fried Tofu at this restaurant was outstanding—one of the best appetizers I have ever had. For the main course, we opted for Pineapple Fried Rice and Panang Curry. The fried rice was fragrant, slightly sweet, and loaded with fresh ingredients, while the Panang Curry was a perfect harmon
A great little spot with a fantastic ambiance and huge menu of unique and interesting dishes not served at most Thai restaurants. The Roti appetizer was simple but delicious with pan fried puff pastry triangles and a peanut sauce side. The Spicy Basil Fried Rice was excellent with a big scoop of tasty fried rice sprinkled througout with bits of red pepper, tender green beans, basil, and white chicken. Crispy basil was also sprinkled around the top of the plate. Order it medium-hot, and ask for a side of red chile sauce to adjust the heat upward and add more flavor. My vegetarian friend had a great looking salad with fried tofu, a feta-like cheese, sundried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and I think walnuts.
Unfortunately, this place didn’t live up to expectations and I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a good dining experience. Despite the restaurant not being very busy, the server was inattentive and seemed disengaged throughout the meal. We ordered the potstickers, which were clearly not freshly made—they had the texture and taste of something reheated in an oven rather than cooked to order. The biggest disappointment, however, was the way the curry was served. Serving curry on a flat plate instead of a bowl made it messy and difficult to enjoy. On top of that, the portion size was extremely small for the price being charged, which made it feel like poor value. To be fair, the Panang curry itself was quite flavorful, and that’s the one thing they got right. But the poor presenta
The food was not bad, overpriced a lot but not bad, what really frustrated me was the service. Not only was the waiter being rude and ignorant to my family and I, but at the end of the meal when we left after paying, she chased after us and demanded we leave a tip, and would not let us leave until we tipped her. She said " It was mandatory", it is not mentioned anywhere on the website nor in the restaurant itself that it is mandatory to tip. It was very unprofessional chasing after us in public demanding us to tip after a terrible service. This was a very upsetting experience and I would not be returning due to the severe lack of professionalism and rudeness provided by this place.
