    Menu 8/2024
    Viv P.

    Very clean, refreshing decor with no hint of the old Pho place that used to be here before (with the hand painted mural walls). The owners are Thai Chinese wife and Vietnamese husband, hence the multi-national menu. SUGGESTIONS: - they take your order at the counter in the back, and then bring the food out to you and provide service. It's confusing because I thought since we're ordering at the counter, it would be self service. But except for the ordering part, nothing was self service. I don't like to tip before the meal on principle, so had to go to the car to grab some cash to leave on the table after the meal. -Please let us select 2 or 3 meats for the pho. My own customized cuts make me so much happier. SERVICE: Super awesomely friendly service. On the dot. FOOD: we just had the pho. The menu boats 24 hour brewed. I'm not sure about that, but it was good. I could taste genuine broth, but I could also feel the MSG (that allergic reaction I have...). Of course that made it taste all the much better. The broth wasn't sweet like some places and savory like it should be. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the meats were also just right.

    Chicken satay. Three skewers to an order with peanut sauce. A decent appetizer, but the chicken, while cooked nicely, was under-seasoned.

    A meh experience leaving me full but not satisfied. Mint is located in a small strip mall off Mequon road, illuminated by neon lettering and a bowl of Pho. Inside, it is clean and, in a way, clinical. At 12:30pm on a Sunday, only a handful of customers were inside. One family eating lunch, another couple waiting for take out. The instructions at the door were impersonal: Choose a table, then go to the register to order. Fine. Except that it took a moment for staff to appear. We ordered chicken satay, pho with vegetables, and port-and-shrimp bun. Service was a tad slow. When the satay arrived first, the staff placed it at the opposite end of the table from us. This was not an isolated instance, as he repeated this for the pho and bun. Odd. The satay was cooked well, but was under seasoned. The medium order of bun was sizable for two people, except that it was mostly noodles. The price difference between the pork bun and pork-and-shrimp bun was $4. The latter option only included four shrimp. So, each shrimp was a $1...great value... The pho was similar: Lots of noodles, little else. The taste of both noodle dishes was ok. I found myself repeatedly adding fish sauce and sriracha. Overall, the restaurant is fine. I didn't feel satisfied with my choices, and everything seemed over-priced for what you get. Not something to make a trek for, but a good option if you can't find another Asian restaurant on Mequon. The staff wasn't very helpful or that friendly. Just business. Recommendation: Worth one visit, then pass.

    I live in California part time and Mint Asian Kitchen is the closest thing to authentic Vietnamese/Laotian food in the Milwaukee area. The Nam Kao took me to the moon with all the fresh herbs and lettuce. It's a little bit of a drive but it's WORTH IT. Def my new regular spot whenever I'm in MKE.

    On a Tuesday evening we decided to give this place a try after browsing through yelp and saw the good reviews. Here's how my experience went: Upon entering the restaurant, we essentially sat ourselves because they don't really have waitress that would seat the guest. Also one thing to note is they don't take your orders, they'll bring you the menu but you will need to go order at the front desk. That was a bit different but acceptable. Is this a to go order or sit down restaurant? Good question to think about. Upon reviewing the menu, dish are higher priced than what you would expect at a Vietnamese/thai restaurant, possibly because of the location but do expect to pay more than what you would compared to other restaurants. We decided on 3 dishes. Chicken Pad Thai Overall: Very tasty dish, great flavors, I think this to me is second to Ape Thais version. Don't get me wrong, it's a delicious dish and had all the essential flavors that is needed to create a beautiful and delicious pad Thai dish. A must get! Recommendations: A tad bit more tamarind sauce or pad Thai sauce, it slightly missing that sour sweetness. Massaman Chicken Curry Overall: Great curry flavors, love the use of potatoes. Nice aroma and paired very well with a side of fresh Jasmine rice. The basil and onions also went well with the dish. Recommendation: For the price of this dish, I would expect the use of another veggie such as bamboo shoots, mushroom, baby corn etc. giving this dish another texture. I think this would have made the dish perfect. Also one thing that can also be changed is the way the onion is cut, long ways which at times was hard to eat. Suggesting dice or smaller pieces. The rice can also be served in a small bowl and not plate. Little changes. Overall a great dish with minor improvements. Banh mi bbq pork and Vietnamese ham Overall: The sand which was near perfect, I couldn't find anything wrong. The flavors were all there, the use of veggies and meats all worked very well together. The bread was okay probably could be a bit more fluffy but it worked just fine. Overall this is ranked as my #2 banh mi in wisconsin. Great sandwhich. Overall great food. Staff was okay, probably need to spend more time understanding customer service and also be a bit more talkative providing great service is not only the food but the communication and how well guest are treated. I'm rating 4/5. I hope my review is read and feedback is taken into consideration. Thank you!

    This new location is now home to Vietnamese food, I used to go to a pho place, and they seem to switch to a different owner, a different menu, and a refreshed interior that brightens up the restaurant. The service is fast and attentive, I like them to come to check on us and see if we need anything. I tried the green curry, pho, and sandwich, and found the green curry to be the standout dish. Next time, we plan to try their bubble tea and desserts.

    Great pho and pad thai! Their take on crab rangoons was also delicious, with a ton of flavorful filling. Will be back to try more options.

    I've visited Mint Asian many times now and have enjoyed it each time. Everything I've ordered has been pretty flavorful and delicious. I tried the pad Thai today and there was a lot of flavor. I wasn't sure if it would be good because this is a Vietnamese place, but the pad Thai was actually amazing, and comparable to Appe Thai. Next time I will order with extra noodles because I just love lots of noodles. The decor is very nice and modern. You order at the registers and they'll bring the food out, so not like a traditional sit down place where they come to the table to take your order. Great place to replace Mequon Noodles.

    I stopped at An Ox Cafe late at night with my son while traveling through Milwaukee and heading…read moreback to the hotel. From the outside, the place looked lively and entertaining, largely because there was an active cornhole tournament happening. I can honestly say I've never seen that many self-proclaimed cornhole enthusiasts gathered in one place before, so it definitely had a unique atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food experience was inconsistent at best. The cucumber salad was completely inedible. The sausage entrée had multiple hard bits throughout that felt like biting into popcorn kernels, which made it difficult to enjoy. The rice served on the side was noticeably dried out and tasted like it had been sitting for quite a while. To top things off, the restaurant automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill. If you're heavily into cornhole tournaments and the social scene that comes with them, this may be your kind of place. If you're going primarily for the food, expectations should probably be adjusted accordingly.

These were not placed at tables but brought to the table so you'd figured they would keep it cleaned. Pho dressings (bean sprouts, basil) were old and appeared rewashed. We asked for a new plate and it looked worst. Bits and pieces of bean sprouts that were definitely not fresh. Apparently they ran out of basil so they gave us 3 old leaves. The food itself, actually had flavor. We ordered sweet pork, pho, and drunken noodles. However, they appeared to have used old chicken meat as I bite into a hard, dried piece of chicken. There is surcharge for using credit. They probably should state that somewhere. 1st and last time here.

    Food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic!…read more We were greeted immediately when we walked in. The place was packed on a Saturday afternoon, so the greeter gave us some menus and let us know we could order and he'd find a table for us ASAP. We got to the counter and the cashier told us it would be a 45 minute wait. We accepted this and ordered anyway. We picked a curry, a noodle dish, and a Thai beer each. The cashier was very friendly. The original greeter found us a table almost immediately after we paid and mentioned the beer is especially nice over ice, so we took his recommendation. Beers came quickly, but food did take at least a half hour, as the cashier mentioned. Table and dining room were clean and nicely decorated with warm lighting and relaxing music. Bathrooms were also clean. Food was very good and flavorful. The portions were decent. We were full, ate most of our dishes, and didn't take anything home. The original greeter came back and checked on us while we were eating. Service was fantastic throughout the experience. The food was pricey, but aligns with other Thai restaurant prices in the area. Dishes were around $20. The whole experience was worth it. We will be returning!

    I really wanted to love it based on the reviews but the flavors were not there for me for my go to…read morefavorites. I ordered Thai tea and it had zero flavor and not the traditional color that I grew up on, very light in color so light on the tea. Papaya salad was more salty than the sweet there is typically the perfect balance of fish sauce and lime but just wasn't what I'm used to. The OG wings were great, great flavor, great cook. They use huge wings but cut them in half. The mango sticky rice had a perfect amount of coconut mixture but uses a different mango that is more tart than sweet. They were busy, people order to dine in and for carry out. The food took roughly 35-40 minutes, which was fine, not mad about fresh food. It is a really cute restaurant in a strip mall with a good amount of parking, but it can be hard to find parking when neighboring businesses are also busy. You order from the counter and sit down and they bring your food to you. I'm glad I tried it but likely will try other places next time. Cost was roughly $35.

I completely agree that this isn't authentic chinese food, but approachable fusion that tries to keep it truthful to the flavors and presentation. The highlight of the meal was the peking duck, which they only have about 2 orders of a night. We snagged it immediately when we sat down and it can easily feed 4 people with the sides. The duck was juicy and cut into thick pieces, so it was more of a steak rather than a bao style that I am used to. Nevertheless, it was delicious and even warmed up well the next day. The green onion wraps were...strange in my opinion. They fell apart easily and didn't have the best flavor that complemented the duck. Overall, I would come back for the duck itself, but everything else was average or extra salty. Service was great and the staff are very attentive. Happy eating!

    Ok, so, I kinda loved my experience at Lucky Ginger from beginning to end…read more Myself and my dining companion dropped by without reservations and were able to get a spot at the bar. That said, I'd likely get reservations were I to stop by again. They're a bustling little spot and saw several groups who weren't able to get a table without reservations while we were there. Where we sat at the bar, we were able to see the kitchen and our food (and others) begin prepared which was fun to see (and also nice from a transparency standpoint). Let me tell you--they are hustling in that kitchen! I began with a berry smash whiskey cocktail which was refreshing and fantastic. For my dinner, I got the bbq salmon which came with a salad to start and rice and asparagus on the side. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The only small note I had was I would have loved more asparagus but honestly, I could probably ask for a side of that next time to amp up the veggies. The service was lovely and the prices were reasonable. Get to it!

    Absolutely awful service. We came in at around 5:30pm, and the place barely had anyone there. We…read moresaid we didn't have a reservation, so they said we had to sit at the bar. So, we did. But luckily my husband quickly checked well before we were served and saw there were reservations available online, so he booked us one on the spot. We were then given two excuses, one by the bartender and a different one by the host as to why they couldn't honor the reservation: (1) there were no tables available for us (note the place was half empty, but we supposed maybe there were lots of reservations coming later--nope, the place was still half full by the time we left); (2) we had to make the reservations 30-40 minutes in advance and we didn't do that so even though we did have a reservation, they couldn't honor it because we made it too soon to the reservation time (WOW--complete BS). We were peeved but decided we should just enjoy our dinner. BUT as we were finishing up, about 5 couples came in WITHOUT a reservation and both the host and the bartender gave each couple the option to either sit at the bar or at a table. When I confronted the bartender about it, she claimed "they weren't supposed to do that." WHAT?! She literally just offered a couple a table without a reservation. What do you mean?! It was insulting. Anyway, we will absolutely NEVER come back here. The tip we left was solely for the kitchen staff who were hard at work and doing an honest job. Bartender and hosts are discriminatory and awful. Do NOT recommend if you are looking to be treated with respect. Would give zero stars if that were an option.
