"While I appreciate their tenacity at trying to continue serving food (take out only no dining in at the moment during a pandemic I must say that our dinner last night left much to be desired. My husband ordered the Korean Kimchi Beef Stew. The meat was not fit to serve a diner in this, a 1st world country, and the rest of the overly salty broth was filled with unidentifiable items (I was able to identify the brain like kimchi, some cabbage and some sort of long tubular solid pasta thing that I still have not a clue what it was . My tofu Pad Thai was ok and I liked that it came with some steamed veg. The real kicker was the wait time. I ordered online at 7:16pm with a pickup time of 8:04pm. I decided to give them an additional 15 20 minutes as last night was Valentines Day and I had assumed that they would have received a larger than usual demand for take away orders for a normal monday. I might have wanted to give them an extra hour ... I waited in the restaurants' stairwell with other hoping to be diners (while checking periodically on my illegally parked car I had brought my 15 year old daughter to keep me company and she remained in the car probably why I didn't get a ticket or towed... until 9:05pm when I was handed my partially cold dinner. The people working were VERY kind and apologetic but when I got home and started eating dinner at 9:20 I forgot all about their extra efforts. My valentine was disgusted by his meal! Egad! May not be going back..."

"I love Mint Leaf!What the food is like:The pho is good. Flavorful enough to not be boring, and plain enough that it is comfortable to eat. I like to get the special rare beef pho.The shaking beef plate might be my favorite when I want to be spoiled. It's basically a plate of big chunks of well-flavored meat (garlic, onion, salt, probably other flavors too . Love the sizzling sound it makes while it is served.The spring rolls are all really lovely, too. They have a lot of crispy textures stuffed into them.Most of the dishes are very flavorful. Some of them are also rich.Online ordering: I appreciate that Mint Leaf recently incorporated the ability to use Online Ordering through GrubHub and other platforms. I love being able to schedule a pick-up time. I used to order via telephone and would ask for extra jalapeños on the side, and they would sometimes be forgotten (totally okay! . Now that I am ordering online, though, there's a printed receipt that shows the request for extra jalapeños. It seems like this has been making it easier for the staff to ensure order quality. The person who is usually behind the counter has been kind enough to double-check that the jalapeños are there when they see the receipt, without me even having to ask.Thank you, Mint Leaf!Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options that are available are all so flavorful. There's a few spring roll options and a tofu dish that is tasty.Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly atmosphere."
