I just had to officially declare that Mint's Euro Asian Restaurant Vietnamese Spring Rolls with lean pork, poached shrimp, lettuce, rice vermicelli, mint and peanut sauce ROCK as 2 day old leftovers.

I love that place. Only downer is that they aren't handling their growing business too well. The wait time to be seated is getting longer, and even take out is longer than it should be. I hope they don't run off business because they're understaffed.

When I was there Saturday, a frog couple was ahead of me after I returned to pic up my take out. They thought I'd just rolled in, but it was an hour after I'd called in the order, and it was my second attempt at getting the goods.

The frogs were visibly angry, cursing in French under their breath. The other customers wouldn't have understood, but I'm sure the staff understood. The male frog went outside, in a typical dramatically sweeping frog way, and the woman stayed inside for me to bs with. She was like a thirty-somthing version of Catherine Deneuve.

I ALMOST bought them a drink at the bar, just to smooth out their dining experience there and leave a good memory of Rancho Cordova Americans, but then it struck me, they'd probably think they were in Carmichael or Gold River when asked about their treatment there later, so I passed on the thought.
