you may never eat tofu again.. if i had been avegetarianwhen i visited fresh mint, i would not be one now, strictly on the premise of not wanting to be associated with this poor excuse for food. fresh mint is a slap in the face to those of the various veg persuasions.
the food is simply not worth the price. vegetables may not come cheap, but for the quality of preparation, the amount you will pay for lunch verges on criminal. never mind that the store itself isn't well taken care of or thought out. many of the tables are right next to the kitchen/counter. and the counter, when we visited, was covered in a layer of dust that i can only describe as fuzzy. fresh mint serves an assortment of smoothies and other blended beverages, the mixers for which are pretty much in the dining area and make conversation impossible when running. my ears were ringing when we left.
our server was pleasant enough, especially considering how busy it was. why it was busy, however. that eludes me.
i did not find my appetizer good or bad. several people below me specifically objected to the summer rolls, but i've had both much better and much worse. it was the entrée that really turned me off, tasting of molasses and kikoman and vegetables that might have been in better shape last week. i could still taste it some hours after leaving the premises, as if the lackluster cuisine had followed me home. my dining companion expressed that she was in a similar situation.
nothing fresh about this place. imagine it, rather, wilted, sad and begging to be trodden upon.
