Cecile and I had the pleasure of taking our nephew Zach to Mint Leaf Asian Bistro in Saratoga Village — a gem of Asian-fusion cuisine paired with the most exotic décor with a bohemian vibe.
The moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by rich textures, warm lighting, and intricate Asian artistry. At the far back, high on the wall, a serene golden Buddha overlooks the dining room, casting a calm, watchful presence over every table. From hand-carved wood panels to shimmering silk accents, the space feels like a cross between an upscale lounge and a cultural gallery.
The food? Bold flavors and creative pairings that match the setting perfectly. Mint Leaf isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience, and one of our favorites. Apparently, Zach was quite fond ot it too, calling it his best culinary experience yet.
