I used to occasionally visit the Asian Mint on Forest Lane and Central, but it's been a long time. So when I visited this location, I was happy to see that the flavors were even better than I remembered.
The restaurant has an elevated decor, so it's definitely a step up from a standard small restaurant- not dressy, but definitely sophisticated.
I was in the mood for a simple crab fried rice, and Asian Mint delivered. It was a great meal and really hit the spot. The rice was seasoned delicately and the texture was very light and fluffy. There was also fresh sliced cucumbers and tomatoes accompanying the dish, so I got a nice dose of fresh veggies. This helped to balance out the meal and not make it so much of a carb load.
Next time I will have to branch out and try some other dishes. Back in the day when I used to visit their Forest location, I only remember getting Pad Thai.
My only complaint is lack of beverage options. I don't drink alcohol or soda, and I don't recall seeing much in the way of juice cocktails or smoothies, so water it was.
The service was kind and attentive, and when we were leaving, the staff informed us that they were having an anniversary celebration and we would get to draw a number and select a prize. We got a Drama Queen branded packet of chili seasoning. Pretty cool!
