"Well, we were absolutely delighted with our experience at Mint!
Come for the architecture, stay for the food 💯🙌 my partner and I got the set menu, and they catered wonderfully to my being plant based, whilst my partner enjoyed the meat and seafood dishes.
The staff were so attentive and really wanted to make our experience great.
We have such great memories of Mint; the views, the food and the team all really made it an exceptional experience.
Thank you!! 🙏"

"🌿 Mint Restaurant at Phoenix – unforgettable views and a refined dining experience
I’d been wanting to try this place for ages — finally booked it two weeks in advance for the first seating.
If you park inside Phoenix, just tell the front desk you’re here for Mint, and they’ll arrange a shuttle cart to the restaurant. Such a fun start! 🙌
The view from the restaurant is absolutely stunning.
Our table was perfect, and everything felt so thoughtfully designed.
Mint is a course-only restaurant, and each dish was introduced with care and detailed explanation.
We started with:
• crispy gim-bugak
• onion focaccia
• baguette with beet and burrata cheese
• tangy salad with delicious butter on the side ❣️
Then came the cream pasta topped with parmesan foam, with soft, tender octopus inside — the texture was amazing.
For dessert, we had coffee ice cream with your choice of Americano or canola flower tea.
And yes… I really needed that coffee, and it totally hit the spot ☕
The tea was lovely too — fragrant and floral.
Also, the building itself? So elegant and unique.
Mint Restaurant is not just a meal — it’s a full experience."

"Fine dining place with great sea view and so-so service.
Most staff were quite aloof; not sure whether it’s due to the language barrier.
Food is great though. We ordered the set lunch with Salmon Steak and Beef Steak. Soup portion was really small, but tasty enough. Salmon Steak was nicely done. Beef (medium rare) was hard to cut, so we thought it was overdone. But it was actually very tender and tasty - the issue turned out to be the knife. Presentation was also nice!"
