If Thai food in Cincinnati were a prize fight, this place would win by knockout in the first round while the rest of the restaurants are still trying to find their gloves. Chris runs the place, and if kindness were a competitive sport his family would already have Olympic gold. Chris and his kids treat customers the way you wish every business in America still did..,,like you're a neighbor, not a transaction. You walk in hungry and leave feeling like you've been adopted. Now the food. The Thai dishes are the real deal, bright, balanced, and so good you start wondering if the chef has a secret tunnel to Bangkok. But the sushi? That's where things get suspicious. The fish is so fresh and high-quality it feels like the tuna signed a waiver before arriving. Their standards are higher than most politicians claim for themselves. The result: incredible Thai food, exemplary sushi, and a family running the place with genuine warmth. In a world full of chain restaurants that feel like airport terminals with menus, Chris and his crew built something rare, food that's excellent and people who are even better. Eat here once and you'll understand why regulars keep coming back. Eat here twice and you'll start wondering if you should just rent an apartment nearby. Cincinnati is lucky to have them. And frankly, so is anyone with a fork. read more

Came back again to try this place out and I still feel the same about it. Nothing really stood out and tasted a little bland. The duck was deep fried like a country fried steak. Steamed vegetables tasted like they were out of a bag. Lastly, the sauce barely tasted like tamarind. Was this worth $30? Absolutely not. Seared salmon was ok. The service was great. The place felt clean and seemed liked a good hangout spot. read more

Good food. I wish that they would deliver or door dash. I love the summer rolls but can't often get there. read more

The selection of Thai and Sushi was a great mix for our large group. We tried several of their sushi rolls, all were fresh and tasted amazing. We also tried their panag (which is my favorite Thai dish) and it was perfect. For an Thursday night it was busy but we were able To sit promptly and had great service. read more

We were staying in a nearby hotel. Sorry I didn't get any photo of the food, but it was very good: my mom has trouble with spice and they were able to make a Pad Thai with "spice level 0" - thank you so much! Friendly & busy. I enjoyed summer hand rolls, vegan spring rolls & deep fried sushi! read more

Walking into this restaurant transforms your mind to a big city feel! It has low yet colorful lighting and decorated in a very classy manor! Staff is friendly and accommodating. The tuna was fresh and tasty! So fresh it tasted like it came directly from the ocean to my mouth! No exaggeration! The seaweed salad was like other restaurants of this type but still good. Fish roe was served in lemon peel with gave it fragrance. This is a MUST visit! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and had an incredible time! The staff were all very welcoming and attentive. Food had a lot of flavors and made fresh. Boba drinks were also great. A little on the sweeter side but tapioca was cooked perfectly. If ever in town I'll be stopping by again read more

We lived in New Orleans from 1995 to 2007. When I moved there, I was well aware of the city's illustrious dining reputation and that fresh Gulf of Mexico seafood was a big part of that legacy. What never occurred to me was that the bounty of fresh fish would also make New Orleans a great sushi town. We took plenty of advantage of that during the decade-plus we lived there. (Back in those days, the NOLA sushi joints weren't exactly adventurous, but there were a number of places where everything would always be super-fresh and well-executed--and very reasonably priced.) When we moved to Cincinnati, I knew our sushi habits were going to take a hit, but holy crap, I had no idea how big of one. For the most part, sushi was absolutely atrocious here in 2007. An embarrassment. We did eventually discover Ando, which was terrific, and Mei, which is very solid, too; there were also a couple of excellent Japanese options over on the Kentucky side, but they're like 30-40-minute drives for us. But damn, the ones closest to us, Ando and Mei (especially Ando), can break the bank if you don't watch it. But we basically gave up on trying to find a worthwhile mid-priced sushi place in or around the city. Not long ago, though, a little birdie told my wife about Mint Bistro, and although I was skeptical, the wife had some reason to trust this source. Our source was largely correct, thank Christ: Mint Bistro gives you a solid sushi experience without burning up your wallet. It's an Asian fusion place, which I probably reduces the sushi selection you get here, but there's plenty to put together a satisfying sushi meal. We've had some good nigiri (salmon, yellowtail, and fatty tuna have been pretty great, all with some of that melt-in-your-mouth butteriness), and we've really liked the Sunkissed Roll (pretty simple, just a spicy tuna roll topped with salmon and avocado) the couple of times we've had it. The couple of apps we've tried haven't been quite as good: seaweed salad is pretty basic and okay, but gyoza were quite bland. The proprietors have done a tasteful job with the place--it's a sharp-looking and comfortable little restaurant, and nicely lit. The staff has been welcoming, pleasant, and helpful, too. We have to drive at least 20 minutes to get to Mint, but so far it's easily worth the extra time compared to some of the Asian fusion/sushi places five minutes or less from our house (almost all of which we don't even go to). That ought to tell you a lot right there. read more

Tasty sushi rolls. Entrees were as advertised and spice was not over bearing Service was attentive and the restaurant was clean and fun. read more

A little over priced but good and serious were great! Will come again just wish the pricing was a little more affordable

The atmosphere, wait staff, and especially the food were above my expectations for a small Thai

Got the spicy California roll and thought the portion was small but that's whatever. I went to Walmart after and proceeded to shit myself in the clothing aisle. Went to the bathroom and after 45 minutes I walked out of that clogged toilet. I proceeded to target where I again had to blow up their bathroom. I am finally home now clogging my own bathroom, thank you mint for giving me food poisoning on valentines day. read more

Always a good time at mint! I've dined in probably 50 times and we've never had a complaint. Fresh sushi with selections you won't always find else where (uni) we love the hours and they love us right back! read more

Delicious!! The service was amazing and I would definitely recommend coming here. And if you don't like fish don't worry they have plenty of fish free options that are delicious!! Such as the beef tataki read more

This is a great local establishment. It has a nice atmosphere for socializing and a sushi bar for privacy. The help staff is amazingly friendly and attentive. The food has great flavor and is abundant with a very large menu read more

Mint Bistro - Ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - Milford, Ohio

the food is really good but they had some sort of plug in air freshener that was absolutely horrible and instead of smelling great food that's all you could smell and it was very distracting! PLEASE remove the air freshener so we can enjoy our wonderful meal read more

I came here for dinner with a friend because I've always seen this place right next to Joe's Napoli Pizza. And I could smell the yumminess coming outside of the mint bistro. First off - I definitely did not expect how nice and fancy it would look inside lol. And it's so spacious too. I really like the vibe here, the staff seems super friendly and the smell of the food is just great. Anywho I ordered one of their flat noodles and it was very flavorful. I would definitely say it was a bit too sweet for my taste but nonetheless it was still really good. The service was great as well and we just had a really nice time here. Oh and I love that they have boba here because this is the closest place from where I live in Batavia - and their boba is actually very good quality. Being from Southern California - I can be a little bit of a boba snob lol. read more

Cute sushi spot. Nice atmosphere, kind and friendly staff. Sushi was extremely fresh and tasty! Have already gone back! read more

This is an outstanding restaurant! I highly recommend the sushi and the Crab Rangoon.

Always a favorite when in Milford. Local owned, and the family is incredibly nice. The food is great and they have boba! Can't speak too much on the ambiance as we always get takeout. read more

Always great food, friendly team with knowledge of the menu items. Restaurant always busy, but never have to wait. Definitely have a Lychee Martini (or 2). Warm Saki just right for a chilly evening. Never walk away hungry!! read more

I'll say this, sushi is great and priced well. The crispy pad Thai was amazing. I've never had it crispy before this place and now it's a craving I get once in awhile. Thanks mint bistro, one more food craving to fill! read more

I'm not Thai, I've never been to Thailand, but I have eaten at many US Thai restaurants, and this is IMO a good one. My family and I have gotten takeout here a few times, and dined in once. The take-out was good, but I'm going to focus here on our dine-in experience tonight. The dining room is large, nicely appointed, and features a full bar. It is located in a small shopping center on MIlford Parkway, not far from the Milford Walmart. This is a Thai restaurant, but has a few extras (all positive) - a sushi menu and a long cocktail list. My cocktail was excellent; I had a mojito. We split some dumplings and I had a seaweed salad, which had a ton of seaweed (many times it is a lettuce salad with seaweed topping). My companion had uncomplicated sushi (tuna roll, avocado roll), which was good. I had Thai String Beans and went to the max on the spice (4 of 4), which was a good choice. Broth was rich and delicious; spice was hot but not overly punishing (my face got red and my nose ran a bit and I ate it all!). Service was pleasant and attentive. No complaints whatsoever, and I will be back! A side note; the pizza place in this plaza (Joe's Napoli) is also quite good. read more

I eat a lot of take out here and it's always yummy! Always ready when I get there ten to fifteen minutes after calling.

Please go support these guys! Local family owned business! Wow, I had read the reviews and wasn't sure what to expect but was first and foremost blow away by the service here. They are currently open for take out, or delivery within a radius of 5 miles. Menu is listed on their website and the procedure is to call in your order. The man answering the phone was very friendly and even read back my order to me. It was ready within 25 minutes. When I arrived I was impressed by the lovely outdoor patio they have! It is large with lights, a fountain, and more! I cannot wait for a time to come back and enjoy that. I walked inside and was greeted by everyone! The inside is just as nice and has great atmosphere. Everyone working was friendly and they are doing a great job with safety right now. They have a pickup table setup 6 feet infront of the cash register (which itself is behind plexiglass). On the table is the credit machine as well as hand sanitizer. The guys said they are hanging in there but have been a little slow. My food was excellent. I am a big Thai Iced Tea fan and I think this was the best ive ever had! Next I chose several sushi rolls. The Kris' maki roll was my favorite, as you could really taste each flavor and they perfectly complemented each other. Very fresh too! T ithe East Coast roll was good but the spice drowned out the other flavors a bit. The Golden California roll was a tempura fried roll that was unique. For my main course I had the Ramen. The broth was just to die for. It was rich and flavorful and I just couldn't get enough. The pork belly was tender and also very nicely seasoned. The included veggies were fresh and the ramen noodles al dente. I have a bad feeling everytime I go for Target or Walmart drive up I will end up here! They have a large menu with so many great options! Checkout their great lunch specials too! read more

Wide variety of dishes. Carry out and dine in service is fast. Staff friendly . Good location- easy parking

Food and service was amazing! We had the green curry and Singapore noodles. Portions are large!

Good food. We tried many dishes here and liked all of them. Love their cream brûlée as well in the past. The current one seems more of a store bought. Customer service is ok. Polite service but they are always short staffed and have a long wait. Good ambiance read more

We found Mint Bistro in Milford and we'll be back! It was one of those nights when daughter was craving sushi but hubby was not digging it. I was fine either way. And that's when we discovered Mint Bistro. They have a broad "Asian fusion" menu, one for sushi and another for other entrees. We ordered California rolls (yummy) and chicken satay (peanut sauce was not quite as thick as I've had before but definitely a great flavor). We also had the "What a Feeling" entree (maybe one day I will find out what the inspiration was for that name!) which was chicken, shrimp and broccoli in a thin, flavorful brown sauce, served with rice. I ordered mild spice for us and it was just right. Portion-wise I would advise to order an entree for each person in your party (and I'm assuming there is sharing going on!), especially if you want leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The three of us finished our order with very little leftovers, a great example of "just right" quantity for tonight's dinner. I was glad we had ordered the Satay in addition the sushi and entree. We phoned in a take-out order (no online ordering as far as I could tell). My very helpful hubby picked it up, so I cannot comment on the ambiance - at the restaurant, anyway. The ambiance at home was casual. Hubby says parking was easy: "in and out, boom, boom". Yes, he said that. Our order was ready when they said it would be. I plan on eating in or getting carry-out from Mint Bistro again for sure - interested in trying their curries and to try more of their sushi menu. read more

Very good food. I am only giving 4 stars because the pricing is high and we were given options with our meal rice or noodles and then charged 4 dollars extra for the noodles per person without being told ahead of time. Wonton soup was very good but was 5+ a little high for the bowl. Crab rangoon was ok not great. They have a lot of options from sushi to thai to chinese. Very large menu. Service was good but the place was very empty given it was a Monday night. It was my daughter's birthday and I was disappointed they didnt do anything. Most restaurants give a dessert. We went to Graeters instead of giving them more dollars. Lots of drink options as well. Pad thai and Korean bbq is their specialty. Others had that. I had a chicken and shrimp specialty that was good but not worth 20 dollars after the upcharge. read more

Great place. Don't let the outside strip mall exterior fool you. My daughter was in the mood for sushi so we gave this place a try and so GLAD we did!!! Nice atmosphere, but still family friendly. The Super crunch roll was our favorite. Will definitely plan to be back. read more

The host was perfect.Food was tasty and the choices were plentiful. I enjoyed the quality of service

Since moving to Cincinnati, I've struggled to find the right sushi joint that I could compare to my regular Florida spots. Mint Bistro blew my expectations out of the water. Not only was the sushi fresh and delicious, but the iconic staples were the best I've ever had (miso soup, krab rangoon, and curry). The drinks were crafted to perfection and the service was incredible. I will be returning often. Great for date nights and night out with friends :) read more

Excellent service. Very clean. Thai spring rolls were so good. We had 4 types of sushi rolls: Cincy, tiger, golden California and New York. Ended with fried Oreos. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Always consistently good. Love the salmon and cincy roll. Business is family and well run. Can't miss here !

We had takeout previously but first time we actually sat in the restaurant. Very contemporary looking interior. Very comfortable. More Thai dishes then I've seen at other places. Very interesting menu. We both had Thai dishes and both were perfect. Great taste, correct spice, and a lot of meat. It has an open bar with very interesting cocktails. Service was quick and friendly. A return visit is definitely in our future read more

Great ambiance and super friendly service but most of all the food is excellent. My go to is their pad Thai but anything else I've tried is excellent from the sushi to the soups. read more
