My cousin & I first found this restaurant after going climbing. I have had bad experiences with "meat" dishes at other vegetarian/vegan restaurants, but since Joel has recently become vegetarian we decided to give the Purple Mint a try. From the fresh hip decor to the genuine, helpful servers our first impression was amazing! We shared the fiery "shrimp" as an appetizer. I had the Kung Pao "chicken" & he ordered the Orange "chicken". Everything we ate was amazing! The "shrimp" tastes just like actual shrimp & the texture of it is identical to real shrimp! Both of our "chicken" plates were out of this world. The "chicken" is so crispy yet has the perfect amount of sauce. The Kung Pao has the perfect amount of spice & the fresh juice of orange shines through the orange chicken. I love chicken & don't think I could ever fully go vegetarian, but hands down this has to be one of THE best places to get those two Chinese dishes. The Purple Mint has gained two customers for life. Since that first day we have gone at least 30 more times. & Joel lives out of town so that is saying something.
