The Mango Tree

This was the second time I’ve been to Mango Tree and it was good in comparison to the first time!
The food was great and the service was excellent. The only drawback was that it was for a family birthday and we did feel a bit rushed however that’s probably to be expected as it was a Friday night.
In terms of food, I definitely recommend the duck and the lamb massaman curry!

Woman at restaurant called me a shit — all because I said they charged my card 2 x’s. She td my 9 year old all Americans are shits and they should all die as she spit the words In her face. She is exactly why people are afraid to travel. My 9 year old want to leave London as soon as possible.

Went here to eat on a trip to London. We were touring the city and we had seen this place on a Gordon Ramsey show, we noticed this place was close to where we were going to be so we decided to give it a try. We came in for lunch and they had just opened. They brought us complimentary prawn skins but we are vegetarians so we couldn’t eat those. Our meal was very mediocre at best. We thought it would have been so much better and would have had a few better options for us but we were wrong. The place was nearly empty and they sat two loud and annoying business men directly next to us as if there were no other seats. The staff was helpful and pretty friendly. But this place has so much potential and we expected so much better but we were disappointed.

This place has so much potential — you can see that by the layout of the restaurant, the friendly staff, etc but the food falls flat — extremely disappointing. The 2 main courses we tried (chicken with cashews and beef with oyster sauce) were very bland and tasteless. To be honest I could have cooked this meal much better myself, which is a real shame and NOT the point of going out for dinner.

Siempre había pasado por delante de este lugar pensando que era un sitio muy molón y que algún día, cuando tuviera un sueldo razonable, es decir, no cobrara 4 libras la hora, iría allí a comer y disfrutar de todo.
Habíamos ido a una fiesta y queríamos cenar algo diferente. Debido a la ubicación y a una aplicación que te ofrece descuentos si reservas online, nos acabamos decantando por Mango Tree. Es un lugar caro, pero la verdad es que lo merece y si consigues un descuento a través de redes sociales, puedes cenar por un precio razonable.
Principalmente comida oriental, en muchas ocasiones, bastante picante, pero muy, muy rico.
Tuvimos un incidente a la entrada porque no llegan a ser muy tolerantes con los cambios que haces sobre reservas que se hagan por otras vías que no sean ellos. Pero el incidente con la reserva, se solucionó y fue sobre todo, gracias a la gestión que la recepcionista hizo con nosotras. La verdad es que tuvo mucha paciencia, nos prestó un cargador de móvil, nos ayudó a cambiar todo y se portó genial.
Tras unos 15 minutos en la puerta, conseguimos entrar y sentarnos a cenar. Pedimos dos cócteles, un entrante y un plato principal por persona y cenamos estupendamente por menos de 20 libras cada una.
El restaurante es bonito, muy sencillo y minimalista, la atención espectacularmente buena y la comida de categoría.
Si vas por Londres y pasas por la zona de Victoria — Park Lane, es una opción muy recomendable.

While shopping at Harrods, boyfriend and I stopped at Mango Tree for a quick lunch break. Mango Tree is asian fusion with an emphasis on dim sum that they say is made fresh daily by a Hong Kong dim sum master. I really liked the feeling of sitting at the «bar» of an open kitchen where we could watch the chef at work and our servers within arm’s reach. While waiting for two seats to open up, the hostess took our order so that once we were sat, our food was ready and ready it was. Our servers were courteous and efficient
We ordered the blooming jasmine flower tea served in a clear glass tea kettle for two. I found the tea quite tasty and LOVED the tea set and watching the flower bloom, so pretty. I asked if the tea set was available for purchase at Harrods and while the servicegirl admitted it was, she recommeded I check out an asian tea shop in chinatown as it would be much cheaper. Loved her for that!
I started with the Prawn and Pork Wonton soup (8.50) which arrived three small dumplings in a small bowl in a clear broth. Although small, the soup was tasty nonetheless. We also ordered a few dim sum dishes since the dumplings were mostly served in threes. We ordered the prawn dim sum (7.95), Inside soup dumpling dim sum (19.50), and spare rib dumpling (7.50). Dumplings were yummy but with the pound kicking the dollars butt, our check total without tip amounted to 60something pounds or roughly $ 100something USD and I don’t know about you but I can get a shitload of dim sum for the kind of money here in the states (holla Chinatown NYC or Arlington VA) and it probably tastes just as or even more delicious and authentic. But at least we can say we ate lunch at Harrods! Their food court and options sure beats any food court here in the states.

It’s quite good quality Thai food here. Ordered the Pad Thai and it was substantially better than takeaway but at the level of Busaba and Thai Square. Opentable currently has a 50% off deal as well when you order a main and starter which makes this place pretty sweet at the moment. The Kor Moo Yang was surprisingly good as well as the Tom Ka Goong.

Whenever in London, The Mango Tree is my go to spot for excellent Thai cuisine. I love the food, the atmosphere is amazing, and they drinks are excellent.
The curry entrees are all amazing and they offer very diverse and delicious options for starters. The wine selection is extensive which is always a good sign as they take pride in their customers dinning experience. When dinning at The Mango Tree it feels as if you are are sitting in an up scale restaurant and you’re treated as such too. It’s a large room which can accommodate a good amount of people but call ahead anyway because it fills quickly. On most nights they close at 11PM which has saved me a couple time while entertaining colleagues after late night meetings.
If you like Thai and Stir Fry, The Mango Tree is a must try.

I have visited ‘The Mango Tree’ on two occasions. My first experience was better than my second. Based on the second, I wouldn’t go again.
Food: The food is in general good. I think though it all depends on what you get. The first time I went we ordered loads of starters and I they were good. The second time I went for main dishes too. The chicken for one was didn’t taste great and I ended up eating just the vgetables.
Service: The service was quite good the first time I went (late dinner). The second time (early dinner/​late lunch), there were a lot of trainees. We had a menu in for quite some time and kept on trying to get our waiters attention for 15 mins. I felt like were were forgotten!
Price: This place is pricey. The portions are small. This isn’t a place where you get value for money. If you go for an early lunch, then there is a ‘discounted’ menu which makes it more worth it.
Ambience: The staff in general is helpful and polite. The décor is okay but nothing to write home about.

Really enjoyed my dining experience here. Amazing customer service and love that the staff know the menu inside out! Really enjoyed their cocktails and my food was cooked to perfection!

The food was great but the service was horrendous!

This place is fantastic. There is always a buzz here and service is second to none. In fact I can’t remember the last time I got such fantastic service. The staff are knowledgeable, respectful and you will find your glass (either water or wine) is never empty. They seem to pre-​empt your every desire!
The food is pretty amazing too. There is a really good selection and for the me the beef dishes in particular were outstanding and the tempura soft shell crab (starter) was the dish of the day.
Unilocal I wish you would let me put in half stars on my reviews as the Mango Tree definitely deserves another half star. My only crib is that it is little pricey and the green papaya salad was not quite as delicious as some others I’ve had, although still very nice! For that I have deducted a star (or half a star if you like).
If you like Thai food you will not be disappointed and if in the area I heartily recommend giving this place a go.

Great food and service. Really appreciated the waiter taking the time to point out the gluten free items to me. I recommend the mixed satay appetizer.
Ambiance was open and sophisticated. The center tables were a bit close to each other.

I’m very judgemental most Thai food outside of Thailand. I will nearly always find some fault in authenticity (as much as I hate that word because wow snobbery), but I also understand restaurants need to work within the confines of both what’s available and what’s expected, and I think The Mango Tree does this.
The vegetarian menu is completely vegan, which is a nice contrast to most Thai restaurants where fish and oyster sauces are considered fair game in the veggie department.
My meal included the som tam, a favourite when I am in Thailand. The salty/​sour/​sweet balance was perfect, but it lacked chili and yard long bean chunks and could have done with something funky to replace the lack of fish sauce (although the dish wasn’t completely devoid of that flavour profile).
For my main I enjoyed the choo chee aubergine, which was rich and gorgeous as a choo chee sauce should be.
Despite sounding negative about the place, I would quite happily return. It’s rare to find Thai food that’s remotely like what you’d get in Thailand (news flash: green curry does not exist on every Thai menu), but The Mango Tree will please the wider population, with a few dishes for devoted Thai food fans, and it’s really nice to see a mainstream restaurant promoting a vegan friendly selection of dishes.
P. S. the cheap house white is not worth it. Spend a couple quid extra to drink not that.

average vegetarian to be honest.
the green curry is a tad bland and i would say that i prefer spicier food but who goes to a thai restuarant to eat bland food? everyone seemed to be eating from the set men/​opentable offer but its ok value for a meal in victoria

I had seen this restaurant on Gordon Ramsay’s Best Restaurant, and had walked past it a few times in my lunch break, and have been dying to eat here since then.
So when i was in charge of organising a celebratory work dinner, i knew this was my chance to feast!
The reservation process was quite easy, and the staff were super friendly and helpful.
Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by smiley faces, who were very welcoming. After putting our coats in the cloak room, we were shown to our table. Majority of our group were having the set menu, however a few of us had allergies and needed to order from the al a carte menu.
The wait staff were extremely knowledgeable in all the dishes, and were quick to offer suggestions that would suit our needs.
The one thing i did notice was the amount of wait staff. Although there were a heap, you didn’t feel pestered or «watched» over the course of the meal.
I can highly recommend the set menu, it has very generous servings, and is great value for money. Also from the dessert menu, the lemongrass chili and lavender rose sorbet was the highlight of the night.
Even though we had a little mix up with desserts and the cloak room, the overall experience was not tarnished by these things.
Two big thumbs up!

nice Thai food and very friendly Thai waitress~ very recommend the Thai tea and the Thai cocktail!

My small office came here for a Christmas party dinner. The food was good, but nothing super special, especially considering the price. They also were pretty sneaky about getting money out of us, knowing that it was on a company card and several of us were increasingly smashed as the night went on. First, the waitress asked everyone what their first course would be, instead of whether we’d even like a first course. Sneaky. We ordered one bottle of wine, but then they just kept bringing out more and refilling our glasses without asking with new bottles. I had to keep turning them away because I didn’t want to drink very much. The bill turned out to be much larger than what we’d actually asked for.
It seems like they make a lot of their money from the drinks here, as they have a bar too, and the wine I had was good. They don’t put as much effort into their food as one might expect with this price range. Maybe this is a smart business practice, but it doesn’t leave me with a very good feeling. Plus their service was often slow, and they seemed especially reluctant to refill our water glasses, which is a huge irritant to me especially when people are drinking alcohol.
The ambiance is lovely — I especially enjoyed the Christmas trees, lights, and Christmas music — but I probably won’t be coming back, with all the other choices of restaurants I have in London.

Dinner
The jasmine tea didn’t have an aroma.
Pad Thai was horrible. I prefer them adding lots of coconuts, peanuts with thinner noodle.
How possibly could go wrong? In this case I should have ordered deli who is cheaper but can cook much better manner.
Tom yum needs more lime juice?

Good food, great service but pretty expensive. That type of restaurant and level of service would have been less expensive in the U.S. London overall has pricey restaurants and you seem to have to pay a lot to get a decent meal.
If you’ve got the money and want to enjoy a good meal, then go to The Mango Tree.

Mango Tree is firmly just okay. Their service is a little slow and their thai food is on the mediocre side while being very overpriced. I’ve tried the Gai Yang (chicken marinated in coconut milk along with other stuff), Pad Thai, and the BBQ pork starter. All were decent, but definitely not worth the price.
The restaurant itself is pretty large and I guess they hold different events there on occasion? On my way out I saw a sign for a Ladyboy Competition, coming up soon!

Convivial et original
Sa grande salle pourrait faire penser à une grande cantine impersonnelle mais le service est tellement bien organisé qu’on oublie vite la taille du restaurant ! Les serveurs vont jusqu’à vous aider dans vos choix pour éviter l’erreur de trop commander ce qui est appréciable et démontre qu’ils sont bien là pour vous servir et pas pour vendre ! Les plats sont délicieux et originaux loin des «classiques» que proposent certains restos dits thais. On aime particulièrement le Meung cum, un petit apéro à base de feuille de betel dans laquelle on mélange différents ingrédients pour obtenir un snack savoureux alliant saveurs et textures de façon remarquable. Les autres plats sont tout aussi bons et originaux.

Ich war geschäftlich in London und wir haben abends einen Tisch im Mango Tree reserviert gehabt. Der Laden war um 20 Uhr rappeldicke voll und wir mussten etwas warten, bis unser Tisch auch zur Verfügung stand. Die Zeit überbrückten wir an der auch im Restaurant befindlichen und gut sortierten Bar.
Kurze Zeit später ging es dann an einen passenden runden Tisch. Für die Kommunikation war das ideal, denn der Geräuschpegel war insgesamt durch die vielen anderen Gäste ziemlich hoch war.
Der Service machte seine Sache sehr gut, wir fühlten uns willkommen und gut aufgehoben. Die Speisen war durchweg lecker. In der Karte sind scharfe Gerichte entsprechend gekennzeichnet und dieser Orientierung sollte man auf jeden Fall vertrauen.
Insgesamt kann man das Mango Tree ohne Zögern empfehlen.
