Mango Thai

The food here is fabulous! I’ve actually never eaten here, but have gotten take out 15+ times. Every time it is spot on! the portions are large so there is plenty of leftovers. The food is always ready in 10’ish minutes, which is fast for take out places

One word to describe this place– Poison
My friend and I had dinner at this place. Not only did they mess up order but they served us rotten food. My friend ordered gluten free padthai (with no onions) and dumplings. And I ordered chicken with green beans. My friend has severe allergies and ended up getting padthai with onions and wheat dumplings. They brought me exactly what I ordered but when I went home I ended up with food poisoning. Severe diarrhea and vomiting. Same thing happened to my friend. I would never go back to this place again and would recommend you not to as well!!!

Been here a couple times before about two years ago and they were good, service is fast, portions are suitable. Nothing that puts it over the top but have done take out more so than eat in. Odd entrance. Pretty average to be honest. Don’t expect the best and you’ll be happy.

Very nice restaurant… if you can find parking. Today was my first visit and I was craving Thai food, so I drove around for a little bit until I found a spot on Webster.
The restaurant is small and cozy. I was alone at a window table and a party of 10 came in and pretty much took up the rest of the place.
The server was very nice and the food came out hot and fast. I had the Crispy Chicken Pad Thai ($ 8.50). The chicken was crispy, as I hoped it would be and had very good flavor. The noodles were tasty as well. Upon first eating the food, it was tasty, but by the end of the meal, I felt that the food was a little too salty.
Overall I think it’s a nice place. I’m going with a 4-​star rating because the food was decent and well-​priced and the service was great. I’d like to try another dish or two to see if they are as salty as the Pad Thai. I hope to return in the future because I work in the area, although the lack of parking may deter me.

Food was great loved the crab Rangoon’s! Will def be back in the future. More of a take out place but I ate in and it was still great

Their pad Thai is some of the best I’ve had from anywhere! I get take out from here all the time now.

An absolute gem in an area filled with great restaurants! This small, family run Thai restaurant is cozy! Patricia, the owner, is there nearly 100% of the time, which is fantastic. There are a few, really petty reviews here that seem to be from entitled folks that want to cry about minor things like not getting a seat they preferred. Know this going in: It’s small. They have an occupancy permit for little more than a dozen seats. My experience has been that you’re much better off ordering online for pickup or delivery. They have a very small staff and ordering by phone slows things down for everyone. Portions are plentiful, food is delicious. It’s getting better! According to the owner, In the next few months, they’ll be expanding, adding another 200−300sf, and more seats. Their expansion coincides with the completion of the construction project directly next door.

We have even taken friends here that have been to Thailand because it’s so good and they agreed it was very authentic.
Pad Thai, Massaman curry, Chicken Friend Rice, and more. All great. They can make the food really spicy as well and it not taste «chemically» like other places. Very nice owners, local to the area and even have seen their son there before.
They have high chairs and a small seating place. They have a bathroom in the back in the kitchen as well that they have allowed me to use in the past.
Definitely some of the best Thai in the city and worth the drive even if you don’t live around the corner.

So this was great. Small place. Not sure why more people don’t stay and eat inside. I ordered pad see yu without veggies. And the fella asked if I wanted more noodles since I wasn’t having veggies. This was incredible and absolutely a perfect suggestion. The food was good. Could’ve been spicier as I asked but oh well. Good experience all around.

Yes the food and service are both very uneven but it you stick with the simple stuff, Pad Thai, satay, fresh rolls, you will be fine. It has also gotten much more $$$$!

We had the salmon choo chee delivered, and it was quite possibly the worst salmon we’ve ever eaten! Maybe it was a fluke bad dish, but we’ll bit be ordering from there again.

Terrible. They messed up my order and didn’t include my Pad Thai. When I called to ask about it they said they would send it right over. They never did and when I called back to complain they accused me of lying about the Pad Thai. Not worth being insulted to eat their mediocre food.

Sigh. I miss Mango Thai. I love the curry, the dumplings, and the pad thai. But my husband and I had to break up with Mango Thai because the service is really that bad.
We gave it so many chances. I mean so many. I mean ordering in Sunday night after Sunday night. Sometimes pick-​up, sometimes delivery. But after repeated errors – forgotten items, lids not closed tightly and curry spilling in the bag, etc. we decided we could ONLY order through Eat 24 because at least that way we had evidence of what we were supposed to receive.
But with a heavy heart, the last straw finally came after 2 years of loyal patronage. After placing a pickup order online and being given a 10 – 30 minute window, not only was the food not ready after 45 minutes, the pickup itself was a total disaster with tons of people waiting and no end in sight. And an 8-​year-​old working the front counter. And a refusal to comp our meal when they told us it was ready after we had already left.
So there you have it. The food is good, but we just can’t give any more of our money to them until their service shapes up.

Usually order the Crispy Thai Basil and it’s a hit! Great place for take out. Small place to sit but they do Thai food good! It’s pretty much what I always order and their Crab Rangoons are good as well. Have tried their Pad Thai (It’s good) but am not a big Pad Thai person. Would definitely recommend it. Food is consistent and on point.

This place is so great! We came in on a whim, and I’m glad we did.
I don’t know what the other Unilocalers are talking about with the poor service, my experience here was nothing short of amazing.
First off, it’s a family run business. The woman who greeted us was incredibly polite, amazingly friendly and attentive despite a small language barrier. (she definitely spoke English, just not her first language.) She took my small alteration to the menu with no problem at all, and checked in on us in an appropriate amount of time.
Second, the food was great. Lunch prices for decent sized portions, and it came out super quick.
I honestly have no idea how anyone could dislike this place. The little old couple are ADORABLE (and I really really mean it. ADORABLE.) and the kitschy island décor was fun.
Definitely will be going back!

Just got a pick up order here and ordered the Pad Kee Mao which was flat noodles and chicken. Having just got back from Thailand I’m pretty spoiled from authentic Thai food, but still, this dish had barely any chicken in it and the noodles were all clumped and stuck together and very greasy. Pretty average place, not too impressed.

I did not have a good experience here.
Came in today with my cousins, so we were a party of three. It was quite a small place, mostly tables for two people spread out and at the center there were two tables connected for anyone with a party of four to be able to sit. Well, when we came in, most of the tables were taken and I saw the table that seats four available. I went to pull up a chair and the waiter told me that it was taken already, by the lady who was at the front desk with him. I thought to myself ok, that’s fine… we’ll just have to grab an extra seat and sit down at the 2 seater tables. The lady who was sitting down was by herself so I assumed she had a party of three more people coming. BUT THERE WAS ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON! The waiter knew that and yet he let them sit there and had my party squeeze into a corner table that seats two? Like my cousin stated. was he stuck on stupid?
The place was DARK. I get that it was the day time, but the sun wasn’t that bright since it was a cloudy day. So it was like eating in a closed restaurant. The place had high windows on one side and guess what it looked out onto? It was literally adjacent to an empty lot! So as I’m eating, I have a view of an empty lot that’s covered in trash and weeds the size of large bushes.
The waiter himself wasn’t all that pleasant either. The service was indeed quick but man, have a personality. I ordered their duck something. I forgot what it was but it was 15.95. How do you have a stirfry on your lunch menu and not have it come with rice? It was just a few pieces of duck, and vegetables. for 15.95 and you couldn’t give a small portion of rice with it? I had to order the rice separately… how do they expect people to eat a stirfry without rice.
I wouldn’t recommend this play to anyone and I won’t be coming here again.

The food is fairly good, but the service leaves something to be desired.
I ordered delivery, and was shuffled around to two difference people while giving my order. It took 5 – 10 mins to place my order because of this and I went over what I wanted several times, clearly explaining it. Neither one of the people I talked to spoke very good English, and because of the language barrier (I’m assuming) my order was delivered wrong. This is the second time this has happened.
The first time I didn’t say anything, but the second time I called to complain. I was then shuffled around to three different people (again because of the language barrier). It took them 10 mins to pull up my order and then their explanation was that they decided to do it a different way. Shouldn’t you prepare food the way the customer requests it?

Recently moved to Newton and have already tried a few Thai places.
Mango Thai Cuisine is nice if you’re looking for some quick takeout (or even delivery). They’re always very friendly and attentive. We’ve had a number of dishes from this place:
The not-​so-​good:
Mango Sticky Rice — go to Tree Top in Waltham for more of the real thing
The ok dishes:
Fried Banana — a nice small portion of dessert if you’re looking for something sweet to end your meal; nothing great
Pad Thai: I like that it isn’t so sticky (other Thai places have a really sticky, sweet Pad Thai), but it’s not spicy, either. I ordered the country style with medium heat and it was pretty bland.
Tom Yum Soup: Good flavor, but not spicy at all! We ordered the «hot» version (mild, medium, or hot options) and didn’t feel a thing
The really good:
Yum Nua: Tasty salad, great flavor with the beef and spices
Larb: Another good salad to try
Mango Fried Rice: Good wok flavor, lots of tasty veggies/​mango

Delicious, spicy, generous portions. What a gem!
It was a nice, breezy evening — the restaurant door was open and the overhead fans were on. It felt divine. There was a lemon tree, and all sorts of random accoutrements decorating the space (including a framed photo of the king of Thailand), which only added to the charm. It’s a small space, but it looked like most people were ordering take-​out, which is fine, since that meant we had the whole restaurant to ourselves.
We ordered the fresh spring rolls with shrimp (solid), the Thai iced tea (good), the Indonesian fried rice (yum), and the star of the evening… the chicken ga prao with brown rice. Oh my goodness… spicy, succulent heaven on a dish. Full of ground chicken, onions, green and red bell peppers, I ate almost the entire platter, and I hardly ever do that. It was really good and really hot. Good thing our water glasses were always refilled. Fast, friendly service, and authentic, home-​cooked-​style food. Can’t beat that!
