This is my new favorite Thai spot.
Ambiance is good, much better than any other E. Valley Thai spot, the service is prompt and very friendly. We spent about 15 minutes after our meal chatting it up with the owner. They really make you feel welcome.
The food is excellent. I love Thai food due to the complex flavors that they use in their dishes. Sweet, savory, spicy, vinegary all come together in a wonderful way. Mint Thai's flavors are superior and the way their dishes are presented just adds to the eating experience.
I had their Laarb (excellent), Shrimp Red Curry (excellent), Spicy Fried Rice (average... not flavorful), and Mango with Sticky Rice (excellent). I gave them a pass on the Spicy Fried Rice. For me, it wasn't flavorful enough.... I should have just splashed some fish sauce on it. Their other dishes were so good and so much better than other places they still get a 4-star review, even with average fried rice. I just won't order the Spicy Rice next time.
