5 /5 Richard Wilson: The service here is excellent, and the staff are always willing to give their customers tips on the best Thai food to eat. We had a selection of tapas, along with a golden Thai chicken curry. The best dishes, by far, were the Golden curry and prawn drunken noodles. The curry tasted like it was made from scratch and was full of subtle spices. The noodles, too, were beautifully spiced and made a great accompliment to virtually all of the main dishes. One slight letdown was the Thai pork salad; the meat was quite dry and really chewy. We had eaten this here before previously and the pork had been tender and moist. Another not so great dish was the sweet and sour pork skewers. These were overcooked and somewhat burnt.
The chicken satay sauce was delightful, although somewhat disappointingly, the meatballs were no more than ok, lacking any real depth in Asian flavours.
Being a bit picky, the restaurant is very hot during the summer months, with only a free standing fan and no air-conditioning. That said, overall, this was a really nice place to eat Thai food and I am looking forward to returning here soon.
Update: we went back to Mango today and a big shout out to Beth, who also looked after us last time. She not only remembered our drinks order from several weeks ago, but she also recalled that our Thai pork salad wasnt great. This time she was sure that it would be so much better, and in fact it was excellent, as were our other dishes.
Because of Beths excellent service and fabulous meals this time, I have upgraded my rating of Mango Thai Tapas from 4 stars to 5 stars.
