Amazing Thai + Best Asian Food in Rochester Minnesota 1000/100 If you're looking for the tastiest Thai food in Rochester, Mango Thai is hands-down one of the best places in town to eat. The menu has something for everyone classic dishes like Pad Thai, spicy beef basil beef fried rice, rich curries, fresh mango spring rolls, and even appetizers like Chicken Satay and beef Jerky are my favorite.

Mango Thai - Green Tea ice cream with fresh fruit - Thai Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

We had a wonderful time at Mango Thai. I believe our server was named Lu(?) and he was fabulous. Parking lots and ramps nearby, accessible entrance and seating. The restaurant is small with only a handful of tables but they seated us without issue despite how busy it was! There's also patio seating out front if you don't mind the street noise. We enjoyed the mango spring rolls and edamame for appetizers. The various curries were so tasty, as was the noodles. I dont recall the names of the dishes but everything was delicious! The fried banana dessert was perfect to split 4 ways. The mango mojito was SO GOOD!! Will be back again- Mango Thai is a hidden gem! read more

Mango Thai is impressive! The feel is romantic, classy, and intimate. Prices for entrees range from $17-34, menu includes a wide range of apps, salads, entrees, and desserts. Wine selection is minimal but their sake is wonderful. I'd recommend the apple sake- delicious and slightly dangerous because it tastes so good. We had the Panang Curry with chicken, and the Peanut Curry with tofu. The Panang was amazing! Flavorful and chicken was very moist. Spice level for the Panang was a three, and it was spicy, but not overly and still delicious and perfect for me. My companion had the Peanut curry and raved about the Flavor as well. Service was exceptional at first, but as it got busier it was a little more difficult to get the server's attention. Overall the staff was attentive and friendly. Mango Thai is located downtown Rochester near the river on an old street with buildings from the late 1800s. I'd recommend Mango Thai if you are visiting Rochester/Mayo Clinic! read more

There is another Thai place across the street. It's not traditional Thai food there though this place is. I got the chicken satay with their peanut sauce, which was fantastic. Best chicken satay I've ever had at any Thai place. The ambience is incredible. It is pretty dark, but it has a very nice feel to it. I also got the chicken pod Thai and very fresh and flavorful lots of chicken, highly recommend and also the service was very fast. read more

A group of us decided to dine here before a show at the Civic Center. A wise choice as the food is wonderful. There were about 5 Crab Avocado Rolls in the order and they were very good. A hint of crab and the avocado melted in your mouth. The Charcoal Grilled Shrimp were good too. We shared everything and the Tom Yum Seafood Soup, White Pepper Garlic Shrimp and Chicken Fried Rice were all amazing. The Shrimp Tempura Pad Thai was our least favorite. It is on the sweeter side and has a fishy aftertaste. The waiter did warn me. Service was good and the prices are reasonable. read more

Another restaurant that I tried while visiting Rochester was mango Thai. This is kind of hidden in Gym in the Rochester downtown area where the seating is limited and they don't do reservations so it's first come first serve let's talk about the ambience. It was aesthetic, dark groovy, and very pleasant. Individual tables had its own lighting and an atmosphere where you can set up to. We had a little bit of upsetting experience with some dishes we ordered and the service for that we ordered Phad Thai noodles which came out to be very sweet and unpleasant. We called the server and we told her that we didn't like it, but she did not respond to fix it or offer something else that was sad. Another dish was mango sticky rice. The rice was uncooked. The mango was super hard. It was not at all breaking with a spoon of a fork. We literally had to leave the rest of it. The magnetic rice has its own texture of mango that it should go with, but I don't think they had that if you don't have the ripe mango, please don't have this dish on your menu because it is disappointing. But moving onto the other dishes, we loved everything that we got there and we finished it . read more

Food was very authentic, servers are young and still learning but they did a good job. Interior is very pretty and had a nice atmosphere.

Had lunch here yesterday with my daughter while in Rochester. I can honestly say that it was the best Thai I ever had. The ambiance was very nice and relaxing. Our waitress was very sweet! Everything about it was excellent! read more

This is the 2nd best pad Thai I've ever had just short of my wife's! The noodles were perfect and the sauce had the perfect tang and sweetness. The service was fast and great. The place was kind of dark and if I had to make any critique there was only a few chunks of chicken and two shrimp. But definitely worth it! read more

Mango Thai is wonderful! We had the Laab and pork belly dishes and they were the best Thai food we had ever had, noting that we generally eat Thai food at least every other week. The service was attentive and pleasant and we loved the ambiance. It was like being on a date for this 30+ years married couple. read more

Best Thai Food EVER! Presentation, ambience, friendly staff what a great surprise to find in MN. Going back tomorrow evening for more.

Delightful! Such a calming Zen atmosphere. The food was authentic and beautifully presented. The depth of flavor and freshness was a surprise for the price point. Very affordable and absolutely delicious!! Fair warning-this place brings on the heat so be sure to ask them for little to no heat if you are not familiar with Thai peppers. I ordered the Pineapple Shrimp Curry and their signature Green Curry Salmon. Both just melt in your mouth fabulous. We'll be back for sure!! read more

Mango Thai - Interior- dining and bar area. - Thai Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

I'm baffled how this place has only 3.5 stars. This is the best authentic Thai food I've had in Rochester so far. I've tried Thai pop-which is over rated and over priced fusion and the Thai place on 2nd street. Mango Thai green curry was so delicious, I just wish it had more veggies in it. The egg rolls were hands down the best we've ever had, amazing flavor and great texture. The basil steak fried rice was so delicious, and the steak was so tender. This is our go to for Thai food from now on! Great service as well!! read more

Chicken curry was good. However the chili mint beef was so salty that it was inedible. Also the portion was half the size of the to go container. read more

Decided to go to one of my favorite spots in Rochester the other night . They were busy as expected on a Saturday night. Both my wife and myself ordered drinks off the cocktail menu . Hers was the Happy Captain and I ordered a Mango mojito. We both enjoyed them . Mine was very sweet . For dinner we shared the spring rolls and the sauce are always great . As for the entrees my wife ordered the Chicken and Shrimp Pad Tai. Her only complaint was it only had two small shrimp but plenty of chicken . I ordered the Red Curry Sea Bass with mango and Asparagus. Overall the dish was good and a nice portion. I only wish the asparagus was trimmed better at the inedible bottoms . We both enjoyed ourselves and the service was pretty good . Just some smaller complaints were the difference from 5 stars . We'll be back . read more

I love Mango Thai Salado and Tom Yum. The place is very nice. The food decoration is very beautiful

Take out : ready when I arrived but noodles are mushy, vegetables are large and uncooked and dish is overly fragrant or unbalanced, in my opinion. Rice is fine. I order this dish at every Thai restaurant that I go to and this one is disappointing. read more

Mango Thai - Thai Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

Food was amazing! Went here with two coworkers and ordered 5 dishes to share and two appetizers. Everything was delicious.

I went to this restaurant with some friends when I visited Rochester. The atmosphere reminds me of an expensive up-scale Minneapolis restaurant (and be careful, their bathroom is pretty much not lit at all), but I loved the vibe. We ate around 3pm in the afternoon so we were one of the only guests at the time. We were waited on almost instantly and our water was constantly refilled. Before your meal, they offer you warm towels for your hands, which I thought was very cute. The meal took about 20 or so minutes to make. I ordered their shrimp & chicken pad thai as I had never tried Thai food before, I figured pad thai was the first logical step. I was BLOWN. AWAY. The peanut sauce along with the cooked shrimp and chicken created such an amazing flavor I almost forgot to take pictures--that's how much I was enjoying it. I have been craving this dish ever since. I would highly recommend not only the shrimp & chicken pad that (which I believe was around $14) but this restaurant as well. The service was great, the atmosphere was high class and the food was superb. read more

Mango Thai - Cauliflower - Thai Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

It was my first time at Mango Thai yesterday and it did not disappoint! First impression: beautiful, elegant, and classy location and decor. We were greeted with a friendly host and as soon as we sat down we were given warm rolled up towels to wipe our hands with. Such a treat! I almost felt like I was back on vacation in a tropical place instead of in cold Minnesota. The menu is more extensive than I thought. I was also expecting smaller portions since it looked like a fancier restaurant but I thought the portions were decent! We got the avocado rolls as an appetizer. Came with 6 pieces and a delicious almost peanut-like sauce. Very delicious. I usually go for massaman curry but I tried something new - spinach and bean sprouts peanut curry. It was honestly so delicious I was scraping my plate. If you love peanut sauce, you will love this dish. I got mine with chicken and it was solid! A friend at our table got the massaman curry and he said he liked it. My husband tried the shrimp and chicken pad Thai. It was good, but had more of a stronger fish sauce flavor. It also had thinner noodles than traditional pad Thai. It was definitely the one time I liked what I ordered more than my husband since he's usually pretty good at choosing new menu items. Haha ! I'm excited to come back and try more things. The mango is out of season but next time I want to try the mango sticky rice ! read more

Love the service. When I visit a Thai restaurant for the first time I always order pad Thai and Thai iced tea. I figure if they get those two right then I'll come back. This is my second attempt in Rochester to find good Thai Food and so far for the life of me, I can't figure out why the Pad Thai is way too sweet and the Thai iced tea is watered down here. It must be the midwestern palate. My pad Thai almost was too sugary for me to eat. The Thai iced tea was too weak. Trust me when I say, this is not how it should taste at all. I've been to Thai Pop which is very popular and they have basically the same recipe....very sweet pad Thai and weak Thai Iced tea. But if that is what you are used to, then this is the place for you! read more

I had a great take out fr Mango Thai plus very accommodating service! Definitely recommend them and another visit.

Eric our waiter was attentive the food was marvelous we had the charcoal grill shrimp the hot wings the coconut chicken soup and the pad Thai chicken shrimp plate. All wonderful!!!! The charcoal shrimp were the hottest thing we were served even though it was not marked as hot and the soup was marked hot and I would say it was a medium to the shrimp. There was a family emergency in the kitchen however so that might have affected the spice. Overall we will be back!!!! Wonderful ambiance and decor read more

Mango Thai - Thai Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

Mango Thai is a top pick. Best Thai food I've had in Minnesota. Nice spot. Great ambiance. Already planning a return trip.

Just fantastic every time. Their egg rolls are my favorite. Big fan also of the curry choices

We were seated at the bar wich is lovely. Full bar service on the shelves. Six (yes, 6!) barely 21 tears old kids standing behind chatting, Finally one asks if we would like a drink. I asked for a cosmopolitan but he responded he only knew how to make a whiskey sour. We ordered pot stickers. Pretty good. As we sat there another patron came to the bar and told one of the people behind it that he "had never left a restaurant without tipping until tonight." We left and went across the street to Thai Pop. Excellent! We went to Mango Thai with low expectations but they were not met! Don't bother. read more

It was the worst ever experience of having Thai food, we ordered a thai basil fried rice, the rice was tasteless with no basil and no basil flavor, with chicken canned meat, and we ordered a mahi mahi fish with sweet and sour thai sauce, it was sweet like a dessert and no trace of sour, fish was steamed though we ordered a grilled one, waitress was very rude we asked for water and she was rude enough to bring the water with the bill. read more

A good option for Thai food in the Rochester area. As vegetarians, the dishes are limited. We tried the Spicy Thai basil fried rice and Panang curry. We were also told that it would not be possible to remove the fish sauce from their dishes. Given this, we only tried it once but our friends who visited and do not have any dietary restrictions enjoyed their food flavor profile very much. read more

We asked for a Thai Hot and were pleasantly surprised to get some decent spice. We came in on a Saturday night and were quickly seated. It's a beautiful space with tasteful decor. It was a bit awkward because they have way too many tables too close together. There isn't a ton of personal space because you feel you are trapped between other tables' conversations and noise. The waiter was really nice and attentive. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the spring rolls, chicken shrimp basil and seafood pad kee mow. Fantastic food presentation and an excellent location. We will definitely come back. Word of advice for the restaurant, if a patron asks for Thai hot, they know what they are asking for. No need to ask if it's too spicy. also, remove a few of the two-seater tables to give more privacy to your patrons. read more

-Tom Kha: I love tom kha but Mango Thai's Tom Kha was almost inedible. It was incredibly salty and sour. Even pairing the soup with rice, we were unable to have much more than a few spoons full. The whole pot had so much liquid but so little chicken and veggies. I hate wasting food though so we brought it home added veggies, tofu, and water. Pairing it with some vermicelli noodles and rice with our new tom kha is perfect. For a $20 dish, I expected more but was sadly disappointed. Sorry, me not again. -Green Curry Mahi Mahi: The green curry itself was very compared to the Tom Kha. It was definitely more rich and balanced. However, the rice noodles were clumped together and the mahi mahi was definitely not fresh. It was extremely fishy which is typically a tall tale sign of spoiled mahi mahi... It was also overcooked- the fish so difficult to chew. For $26 dish, I'd expect more. -Service: We were seated right away. Our server was super nice and was really informative when we were selecting our dishes. -Ambience: It's a nice, classy place. Dim lighting for a more date night type of environment. They also had a nicely, curated playlist of violin/instrumental pop songs. read more
