Mint has the type of menu & ambiance that makes me want to go there every day and eat & drink all of the boba I love the bao buns and all of the pho is stellar.

Second time eating here, but the first time sitting down! Got takeout before and it was great, but even better in person. Food comes out super quick and piping hot. For apps, we got the crab and bacon Rangoon and chicken curry w bread. The rangoons were good, just wish there was more crab. I'm not a huge fan a curry, but this one was tasty. I had the chicken pho and it was delicious! They really load you up on the herbs and bean sprouts, which I'm not the biggest fan of and don't really need that much of herbs, but still it was nice we were able to add/take away what we didn't want. Brought my little sister (7) and as a picky eater, she enjoyed chicken broth with noodles and French fries. Surprisingly, the fries were really good too. So this place is great at catering to children. Mom tried the pork belly steamed buns and she loved them. Very spicy though! Definitely will be back. Usually it's very busy when we drive by, but we went around 5:30 and were seated immediately. As for the ambiance, it's in the name: modern. Bar was cute but not much else going on. We didn't mind though as we were just hungry

Mint has had a profound impact in the standard to which I hold Vietnamese restaurants. The tofu is juicy (how is that even possible??) and as my fellow veggies know - steamed buns are rarely vegetarian!! The sauce they put on the steamed buns is so delicious (spicy and tangy). Every bite of the sandwich I think, "this is the best sandwich I've ever had". I lived in New Orleans for two years and only found out about it my last year there - I am so glad to have friends to visit every year there and Mint is something I think about when I'm home - always looking for something similar in Los Angeles. If you live nearby - please get the tofu steamed buns for me!

MINT VIETNAMESE ON FRERET: BEWAREI ordered food to go from MINT this evening and my husband picked it up. Based upon the Google "menu" and the menu I accessed through their online ordering platform all prices were $10 and under. The price before tax for our 4 orders would have been $40. My husband was charged $65. They overcharged us by TWENTY dollars based upon a separate menu at the restaurant that has the "current" prices. My husband went by to get it sorted after they wouldn't answer the phone the 5 times we tried. They begrudgingly gave him $20 back, and told him that they would fix the menu prices online. I DOUBT IT.This is a blatant scam, fraud, and illegal in every sense of the law. You have been warned.

One of those situations where the service was too bad the quality of the food did not matter. Slammed plates on the table, bad attitude, just felt very unwelcome. It was basically an empty restaurant so it was not busy and did not have a big order, just a quick lunch, but I guess we were the target to let out her frustration on that day. </3

Great Vietnamese spot that has yet to disappoint after multiple visits! Steak & Saté Veggies is my favorite!
Tasty rice dishes! The star was the salmon with rice. Atmosphere is fine, staff is nice and great value in the Tulane area of New Orleans.
