| - The price is right and the location is good, and I'm glad something decent has replaced Banzai.
I had no idea this place even existed until I was looking for a close easy lunch spot today, and Mint Leaf showed up. It was a good decision - I went for the house special pho, which while it didn't blow my mind, certainly hit the right spots as far as size, flavor, and ingredients. My friend got the house special fried rice, which from appearances was mediocre at best.
The ambiance is just right, classy but casual and a bit improved from the banzai décor. Water is served immediately and they are currently also giving out free spring rolls to all dine in customers, which is a decent touch. The price is a bit higher than most pho places, but considering it's central downtown location and the nearby competition I think that is completely warranted.
This is so close to my office, so I can definitely see myself coming back regularly. Plus it looks like they have wings happy hour everyday from 3-7PM, 45c wings, so I'll be sure to check that out too.
