Reviews for Mint Garden in Newmarket, ON
Hands down the BEST Vietnamese food I?ve had in years! I was referred to this restaurant by good friends and I absolutely loved... it ! The owner is truly the sweetest person and she mentioned her recipes come from her mother and you can absolutely taste howauthentic and fresh it is! I am so happy to have found this gem in Newmarket and recommend to everyone try it out you won?t bedisappointed!! Read more
Pho is great. I ordered the one with well done meat. However, the bun size is not big enough.
The outside of the store looks old and the ambience is really dated as well. We didnt order any pho soup noodles, instead we got... the spring rolls, vermicelli with grill pork, chicken Pad Thai and grill pork/chicken on rice. Overall the food was ok, themeats were very lean so it was kinda chewy, the Pad Thai was hot but it tasted more Chinese stir-fry than Thai flavoured. Thespring rolls came with sweet chili sauce, which was odd, since normally it should come with fish sauce. This threw us offabit. Also, they dont have any of the common Vietnamese drinks, like Viet coffee or any fruit smoothies, which was verydisappointing. The people there was nice but the limited Vietnamese style dish/drink options and the ambience was where I minuspoints from. Read more
Like most reviewers have noted, the broth is great. Disappointed with the "toppings". Ordered P01 large. #1) 2 x beef balls. ... And worse, the "economical" sliced in half beef balls. So, in actuality, I only got 1 whole beef ball. #2) Rare beef...wasprecooked, almost medium. #3) Beef flank? Didn't see any, or eat any. #4) for a large, the amount of noodles was not nearlyenough. Again, good broth. But not worth $17 with tax and tip. I really would like the rest of my meal. Read more
It?s not the fanciest place. The dishes are simple and good. What keeps me coming back is that the Pho broth is simply the best... - clear, beefy and not too salty. The family that runs the place are super nice people. Read more
Stopped in for a late lunch. Was happy to hear they had Beef Stew. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it was... absolutely delicious. Their beef stew is REALLY good, better than the one I was thinking of. I was used to having it with riceor a baguette, theirs came with rice noodle or egg noodles (I had rice noodle). I poured it out into a larger bowl at home andthere were so many tender chunks of beef. The picture included doesn't even show all of the beef and broth in the bowl. Sogood. So tasty. Very much worth the $. Will have to go back again soon. Read more
The freshest, and most delicious food! Authentic and best pho around. I am blown away by this gem in Newmarket and I don't... usually care much for food or reviews but I had to comment on this one because I couldn't believe how great an experience I hadwith the food and the owner. Also these spring rolls deserve an award.. I have NEVER tasted anything so good. Read more
This place has the best pho!! I called to place an order and asked if they had veggie broth for the pho. They didn?t but said... the chef could make some on the spot! I was so happy and honestly the broth was soooo flavourful and spiced to perfection. WhenI went to pick up the order they said I can call ahead anytime and they will prepare the veggie broth in advance. I also orderedmy vegetarian pho with tofu and their tofu was incredible in the pho! So happy to have found this place. Highly recommendespecially for vegans/vegetarians! Read more
