About Mint & Maki
Welcome to Mint & Maki, where the vibrant flavors of Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan come together in perfect harmony. Located in the heart of Cranston, Rhode Island, we've been serving authentic Asian fusion cuisine that celebrates the rich culinary traditions of these three incredible cultures.
Our name reflects our dual identity - "Mint" representing the fresh herbs and aromatic spices of Southeast Asian cuisine, and "Maki" honoring the artful precision of Japanese sushi craftsmanship.
Our Story

A Culinary Journey
Our journey began with a simple dream: to create a place where the authentic flavors of Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan could be experienced in their truest form.

What started as a love for these incredible cuisines has grown into Mint & Maki - a restaurant that honors tradition while creating new experiences for our guests. Every dish tells a story, from our 24-hour slow-simmered pho broth to our hand-rolled sushi made with the freshest ingredients.
