Mint Leaf Cuisine — Restaurant in Saratoga

Horrible experience of racism today! Changing my review from 4 star to no star (need to have this option) because experienced a completely racial bias for serving Asian vs American! I went to the restaurant with my family, (with a teenager son) and then got seated at the corner table on the left side of the restaurant. We were offered water and then menu, and then were waiting for ordering the food. Right after us, a couple walked in, and then they were seated right next to us. The couple was served with the drink(they had gotten their own wine bottle), then a person came with menu and water for them, and then another one lit up the candle for their table and then the third one came to take the order. Mind you, we're very patient about the service and always give benefit of doubt, but even after serving them, we were still waiting for someone to take our order! Finally, the lady who took the other table order after done with entering the details of order for other table, came up to us to take the order. I just didn't have any patience now because this was totally unacceptable! I will never step in a place where I don't get equal treatment...

My husband and I recently dined at this Thai restaurant on a Saturday for lunch and were highly impressed with the variety of dishes offered. The restaurant provides a separate vegetarian menu, which was a welcome addition.

We began our meal with Fresh Sesame Rolls and Fried Tofu as appetizers, along with a rich and aromatic coconut milk soup. The soup was not only generously portioned but also expertly seasoned and well-balanced in flavor. While I typically enjoy tofu but do not consider it a favorite, the Fried Tofu at this restaurant was outstanding—one of the best appetizers I have ever had. For the main course, we opted for Pineapple Fried Rice and Panang Curry. The fried rice was fragrant, slightly sweet, and loaded with fresh ingredients, while the Panang Curry was a perfect harmony of rich, creamy coconut milk and bold, aromatic spices. Together, they created a beautifully balanced and deeply satisfying meal.

Beyond the excellent cuisine, the restaurant had a warm ambience and a welcoming staff, making for an enjoyable visit. If you appreciate authentic Thai cuisine, I highly recommend...

Unfortunately, this place didn’t live up to expectations and I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for a good dining experience. Despite the restaurant not being very busy, the server was inattentive and seemed disengaged throughout the meal.

We ordered the potstickers, which were clearly not freshly made—they had the texture and taste of something reheated in an oven rather than cooked to order. The biggest disappointment, however, was the way the curry was served. Serving curry on a flat plate instead of a bowl made it messy and difficult to enjoy. On top of that, the portion size was extremely small for the price being charged, which made it feel like poor value.

To be fair, the Panang curry itself was quite flavorful, and that’s the one thing they got right. But the poor presentation and small quantity of rice made it impossible to fully enjoy the dish.

Overall, unless you’re really hungry and just happen to be in the area looking for Thai food, I’d suggest trying a different place. There’s potential here, but the execution and service fall far short of what makes a satisfying...
