Asian Mint Addison — Restaurant in Addison

I got to try this restaurant for the first time this past weekend, and it did not disappoint!! Every dish I had was amazing and full of flavors! My favorite would have to be spicy tuna crisp and calamari for appetizers. For entrees I enjoyed the crab fried rice, crispy red snapper, and crispy basil sea bass. Spicy tuna crispy- round crunchy chip, topped off with seaweed salad, raw spicy tuna, and drizzled with spicy mayo. This appetizer is perfect for a sushi lover like me! Calamari- great appetizer to start off to share for the table. The calamari is almost like calamari sticks which makes it easy to share and munch on! Crab fried rice- comes with a soft shell crab, and the fried rice is mixed in with crab meat! If you are a crab lover, this is a must have! Crispy red snapper- the sauce on this compliments the fish so well. The sauce is sweet and sour taste which compliments the fried fish nicely. This dish is also very easy shareable because of the way it’s cut and prepared. Crispy sea bass- I was craving for more once I was done! The fish has a fried crispy shell, and then will be quickly greeted by the soft tenderness of the sea bass. The fish was cooked to perfection!

The interior of the restaurant was so well thought of and super cute inside. This is perfect for date night, girls dinner night, celebratory dinners and much more. There is also a private room for...

Not sure where to start with Asian Mint in Addison, TX, but since I went for a great meal I will start there... I ordered Tom Yum Soup with Shrimp. To put it plainly, it was delicious, full of spice, and both my eyes and nose were truly impressed. I always order water without ice, however in this case I was surprised that my water was served with a fresh slice of cucumber which added to the ambiance of the dining room.

GG waited the table with nothing short of professionalism, kindness, and great knowledge of the food, Thai culture... and a sincere personality.

As I took a look around there's no doubt that great thinking went into the design... I mean from the ticket that was served on a bamboo plank to the walk-up window, beautiful terrace, private room for about 6 - 8 people, lighted vanity mirror in the very tidy bathroom, beautiful bar lighting, and large family portraits that cascade the dining room.

No break apart chopsticks during this dining experience. Oh no, you'll receive a accent green pair to eat with in the cozy, newest addition to the Addison list of restaurants.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ASAIN MINT for your next mouthwatering dining...

Appetizers were okay, golden triangles were not very golden and equally chewy, wings were basically a very sugar heavy teriyaki tossed on moderately crisp wings. 3 stars.

The poke bowl was good, if a little under seasoned and expensive for tuna scrape. 3.5 stars.

Fried rice was surprisingly the highlight, with decent wok hei, seasoning and portions. 4.5 stars.

Sadly, the reason for 2 stars above is the Pad Thai and which had zero balance as the sauce was so sugar heavy that even an entire lime and a generous helping of the house made sambal could not fix it. Needs less sugar, more tamarind. Also, not a whiff of fish sauce, which makes me have to question if I just ate rice noodles and sugar syrup.

When I informed them, the response was "well that's Pad Thai for you" and I had to specifically request the lime and chili to try and fix this sickly sweet sugary monstrosity. Not a contemplation of trying to fix it on their end. NOT RECOMMENDED.

Shrimp in the Pad Thai were also disappointing, as they tasted like they came out of a precooked batch and not cohesive in flavor with the rest of the dish.

Sodas were also a...
