    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.

    Food was amazing. Got the dumpling pho and eggrolls. Staff was courteous. Will most definitely be back.

    Delicious, Casual, Affordable! I really enjoyed my meal with my boyfriend at Xankia. Went here for…read moredinner after receiving a recommendation from a friend, who cited that this was her lunch spot of choice! If I worked in the city I would totally be here all the time. We were one of two parties having dinner and everything we got was great and served quick and the server was kind! We got 6 veggie egg rolls, the specialty pho, and a tofu bahn mi. All of which we enjoyed. We will be back and my boyfriend mentioned he may recommend this spot as a lunch spot for him and his coworkers

    Tried it for the first time with high hopes, but unfortunately it fell short of what I was…read moreexpecting due to positive reviews from friends. I got the grilled pork banh mi with a cup of broth (~1/2 quart, $5) with a Vietnamese iced coffee. Sandwich was good, but it wasn't very big for $10. The meat, which was good I was expecting to be pieces of grilled meat, was very sparse and very thin, like bulgogi. The broth was pretty sweet instead of savory and likely already pre-seasoned with hoisin. In terms of service, I had placed my order first. Sandwich with the coffee. My partner said he'll have the same thing. I confirmed to make sure that was also including the ice coffee, and the person that took our order said yes. We waited for a while for our order (highly recommend ordering online, we just saw different prices on their website vs online ordering service, so we thought we'd just wait to order in person), then she forgot our iced coffees. We waited some more. She only brought out one. She said oh sorry, I only rang you up for one. So we waited some more. At that point I thought she would just let us have the coffee on the house, but she did indeed ring us up. We were probably in and out with our to-go order in about 40 minutes. All in all, I'd go back for the iced coffees if I was in the area because they were good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.
