Mango Thai was an unexpected gem! Two of my friends and I went on a Saturday evening for dine in service. We were able to park on the street directly outside the restaurant. The restaurant is not large but offers a fair amount of cozy seating. We sat in a booth by the front door and were amazed at how warm we were given the cold day we had experienced. Our waitress was great, she was attentive and fun! My sister and I both ordered the red curry with tofu and it was delicious. Possibly one of the best curries I have had in my life. It had the perfect amount of flavor and spice without feeling oily and heavy. Our friend ordered the pad Thai which she devoured! Luckily it was mango season when we visited Mango Thai so we were able to order the mangos with sticky rice. It was so tasty and creamy. I am so excited to eat here again! read more

I highly recommend Mango Thai. The mango spring rolls were amazing. The mango shrimp salad with peanut sauce was fresh and delicious. The cashew chicken was also a great choice. I am definitely coming back. read more

Me & my sister have been in this place, & we have left, the restaurant is always dirty with bugs flying around, everytime that we have went here, this place Sucks! read more

ATMOSPHERE: I think there are a total of 7 tables inside with a little high top bar that has a few seats and a cash register. In my opinion the tables are too big for the space and it feels a little awkward. There isn't a paper towel dispenser in the bathroom so I used tissues to dry my hands. SERVICE: I think they were short staffed when we went it, but we were not very welcome. We waited about 10 minutes upon walking in before anyone came out of the kitchen and when we asked for a table for two the server looked at us funny and said like kinda late. It was 7:30 at that point and the hours stated it was open til 9 so I was very confused. After the first interaction things were smooth. FOOD: All the dishes besides appetizers desserts and drinks were around $15-$17 which I found to be a bit overpriced. The food was good, especially the curry dish my husband had but it was hard to justify. I did appreciate how large the Thai tea and pad Thai were. read more

Had a great time at Mango Thai. Our server was very kind and helpful throughout! It is pretty small in there not much room to move around but still the food was good my favorite was the Pad See Lew. Although it was good it seems to have lacked a little flavor but still a good place to eat! read more

Clean ingredients that taste remarkably fantastic. It is so hard to find wholesome healing foods that taste truly remarkably delicious and they offer that here. So, this is a gem of a place. I got the Tom Kha coconut curry mushroom chicken lemongrass soup. Yummy in my tummy in every way. Fresh cut veggies, I swear I taste kaffir leaves imbued in the broth. I could not make this better at home & its great to get to go out & have it made from scratch at a restaurant. Mango Thai! I asked for the ginger, if they use it, to be left out & they could. Versatility is probable if you have food sensitivities or allergies. Bon Apetite! read more

The worst food! We ordered online for pick up and what we got is not what we ordered. We had to go back to get what we originally ordered. They did not offer to compensate us. The food was so bad. Watery and tasteless. Do not order from this place!!! read more

I used to absolutely love mango thai - always on point until this last time. First I was asked to sit outside because I had my service dog with, which by law they're not supposed to do but I didn't wanna make a big deal out of it so we went outside. Then if that weren't bad enough we were treated to really shitty service. Long delays of anyone returning to our table to wait on us. We ordered something to drink & even that was off - not sure what they were trying to pass off as coke but whatever it was was nasty. Moving on to the food - I've always ordered the same thing when I've gone there; chicken shrimp basil. It was cold and horrible- I couldn't believe it - i barely took a couple bites, thats how bad it was. Needless to say I won't be going back which is unfortunate because I used to love that place. read more

Pretty good takeout Thai with a lot of choices both in things you can order and in spice level. I ordered the pineapple fried rice and pad thai - my go-tos for any new thai place - and the fried rice was pretty good. I wouldn't say amazing, especially as the only Yelp takeout option seemed to be the shrimp pineapple fried rice which is fine but is more expensive than, say, a chicken or tofu protein. For $17 I felt it was overpriced if not bad; a less expensive and probably different protein version might align better. The pad thai was my lunch the next day, chosen for reheatability/leftover potential (some might argue the rice based dish is better for that). It reheated on the stove just fine - I discourage microwaving noodles unless you want them chewy - with a little oil and water, and tasted pretty good too though not amazing. Some of that can't entirely be put on the restaurant since I was reheating it, so I'll say it was pretty good and flavorful enough that it'd "scratch the itch". read more

Wow!! I am so impressed. First off our server was extremely nice. She kept checking in on us and made sure we liked everything. Also, the food was extremely tasty. We tried the mango spring rolls which had mango, veggies, and shrimp inside. The two sauces they served them with were addictingly good!! Also, I ordered the Rama peanut spinach curry!!! Soooo good!!! Honestly, it was like delicious peanut sauce spread over fried tofu and spinach! The prices are similar to other Thai restaurants in the area! I would definitely go back now!!! So delicious! read more

Mango Thai has delicious food and great service! One of our favorite places! I highly recommend Tom Yum!

Such great food and friendly helpful staff!! The curry was delicious and they customized it for us! We will return!!!

The food is good, however, the loudly blaring "wheels on the bus go round and round" children's song made it not enjoyable. i have children and love them but that was too much! read more

LOVE this place! Delicious, kind service, and a nice quiet spot to eat. Big fan. Love the fresh spring rolls

Yikes...many mistakes were made. Never coming here again. This was the only Thai place that was open in the area after 9:00pm on a Wednesday night so my boyfriend and I decided to give it a try... We were starving by that time. We stood around for a while and no one greeted us and there was no "seat yourself" sign so we waited there until I lost patience and peeked in the kitchen to ask if we need to wait or seat ourselves. Waitress finally came out and told us where to sit. Awkward standing there. We ordered massaman curry with beef and pad see iew with tofu. The waitress brought us a green curry with beef instead and she apologized and brought it back and put in the right order. Then she came back with an order of pad see mow instead of my pad see iew....She said she heard wrong and put in the wrong item...Again... She told me to try it to see if I like it because apparently it's the same as the pad see iew but different veggies... I was starving like I mentioned so I accepted it and they just cooked the broccoli for me on the side (since pad see iew has broccoli in it). Shocked that BOTH our orders were put in wrong. My boyfriend's massaman curry came and it tasted okay (I just tasted the liquid pard) but was not anything to write home about. To our surprise again, his green curry was brought to another customer a few tables down from us...how I know it's the same exact one is because he asked for vegetarian and he found beef inside! Which is why I'm guessing they tried to fish out the beef pieces and serve him that exact mistake curry that was brought back... that is terrible. As a pescatarian myself, I would be very mad to find meat in my dish that I didn't ask for. Let alone getting served a mistake dish from another table. Cutting corners is not right. Plus, that HAS to be a code violation... To top this all off, the waitress charged us for the extra rice and meat we asked for which is another mistake to do. No discounts were offered and I should've asked about that but in the end, it should have been offered to us with TWO mistakes in a row. Sigh...I won't be back. There are way better tasting and lower priced Thai places in St. Paul...this one isn't worth it. Consider this your warning! read more

Was craving Thai Food Friday Night for Date Night & we had an amazing experience at Mango Thai - St Paul, MN It's a super small space about 6-8 tables however it's super cozy & the customer service was amazing! * Shrimp Tempura Pad Thai: so UNIQUE the batter of the shrimp tempura was perfect & flavorful! The pad thai noodles itself was very very soft & saucyyy with fresh bean sprouts. We didn't think the fish sauce was needed at all * Chicken Tom Yum Soup: very strong lemongrass flavor which I love so much, the sourness was definetly there, so flavorful & definetly needed for the cold weather! Was salty enough to enjoy with rice! * Thai Papaya Salad: Not your original spicy thai papaya however it was still very delicious! The waitress informed us that it's not the traditional style but I loved how extra-peanuty the enhancement was! I didn't mind, it was still very spicy and crunchy! * Green Curry w Beef: we were craving curry & this satisfied our cravings! Defunetly warm, smooth, not too rich and the beef was tendor! Was perfect poured over rice * Thai Tea: how can you not get thai tea at a thai restaurant? No where else makes perfect thai tea! These dishes portion was perfect for 2 people and the bill was $70 ~ which is very common for most Thai restaurants. Everything tasted delicious! read more

We stopped going to Mango Thai several years back, as we found the food and service slipped with new ownership or management, however after seeing many 5 star reviews over the last 9 mos. we decided to give them another chance. So glad we did!! We did take out, so I can't speak to the service much, but the food was great!! We placed a large (8 ppl) take out order via Chownow around 6p on a Sat and within 5 min of submitting the order someone from the restaurant called to confirm our order and advise it would take about 30min more than what Chownow confirmed. This was not a problem, and we appreciated the call. We ordered several appetizers and 7 different dishes. Everyone loved their selection, but I would say the stand outs were then egg rolls and edamame for the appetizers. For entrees the Rama Spinach Peanut Curry, Spicy Basil Beef Fried Rice and Panang Curry were the stand outs! All entrees were a generous portion for one or 2 if smaller appetites. Highly recommend giving Mango aThai a try or re-try! We will definitely be back again soon. read more

Nice, cozy ambiance. Staff was quick to greet, seat, and service was on point throughout. The mango spring rolls came out exactly like pictured on the Menu and came with 2 delicious sauces. I got the Rad Na Seafood and the seafood and gravy were fantastic. My Partner got the spicy basil Entree which was also great. Very great experience overall! read more

Mango Thai - Pumpkin Curry - Thai Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

The girls and I went to Mango Thai on a cool Sunday for dinner and it was delicious. I had the Seafood Pad See Iew. The food came quite fast and the service was decent. The food was really flavorful and scrumptious. The portion was large and pretty satisfying. I didn't want the meal to end. The shrimps were crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. The seasoning was well marinated into the shrimps and I personally felt like the food came right off the stove. It always makes me happy when I feel like the food is really fresh. I loved the thai iced tea also. The overall ambiance was cute. I could see this being a nice place to lounge after you have had your meal and want to talk for a little. They had pretty large windows that were open which was nice because the light was able to shine in and the breeze flowed throughout the restaurant. I would love to go to this place over and over again! read more

I recently ordered from Mango Thai and they had charged me more for one of my dishes. I called to let them know about the mistake and they without any questions told me to come and grab some new free fried rice. One of the best customer service experiences that I've received. Also, their fried rice is amazing! Super peppery and I love it that way! I'm excited to order from them in the future and see what all their other dishes are about! read more

I had a horrible experience at this place! We had to walk out after waiting over 40 minutes for the one and only one, waitress to look at us! She was so busy talking to the customers that were leaving, finally coming to us but took additional 20 minutes to place the order! We ended up walking out as other customers did the same. I'm so hungry right now, thanks for nothing! My tip to you is stay away from mango Tha read more

We found our favorite Thai place in St. Paul! This restaurant is small and cozy, so nice for a cold winter night. The tofu in all the dishes was done well (always a concern for me) and all of the flavors of the curries, appetizers, and entrees were fresh and tasty. We ordered the Panang Curry and it was spicy and delicious without going overboard on flavors. The Rama Peanut sauce dish was also excellent and surprisingly huge. They also let you substitute tofu wherever you want, so that was a super positive! Lastly, the hot Jasmine tea was a great accompaniment and our server was attentive and sweet. Not sure about these other reviews I've seen, because our experience was great! Definitely coming back again soon to try out the other dishes. read more

Pleasantly surprised. The food, ambiance, service and quality were all better than expected. We went on Valentine's Day weekend. Since we had a reservation, we were seated immediately. At the beginning of the meal, we were given 2 hot rolled towels. This is an asian tradition that you don't see often in the states. It was a small detail that augmented the experience. I'm not sure what kind of sound system they have there but the bass was deep and intoxicating. The music was ambient but hip. I liked it a lot. We had the signature mango spring rolls as an appetizer. They are a bit smaller diameter than the ones I'm used to but they were excellent. They had shrimp, avocado, mango and plenty of greens in them. There were no noodles in them. I welcomed the reduction of filler and addition of delicious ingredients. The nuoc mam and peanut dipping sauces replaced the ubiquitous hoisin dipping sauce. I was a bit dubious about this since I LOVE hoisin dipping sauce. Their sauces rule! I was glad to forego the hoisin in this case. I ordered the Singapore noodles. It's a wide noodle dish with some curry seasoning and accoutrements. It said that it came with shrimp. The dish was flavorful. The presentation was great. The shrimp were huge! They were borderline langoustines. Piping hot. I asked for crushed red pepper on the side. The pepper burned! Excellent heat to flavor ratio. My wife had the peanut curry with fried tofu. The peanut sauce they used is the same (I think) as the peanut sauce they gave us with the spring rolls. I kept asking my wife for more bites (that sauce is the sauce!) The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If you look at the pictures that people have posted, the portions look rather small. Ours were plenty big. The plates are visually deceptive. They are really large so it makes the dish look smaller in photos. I appreciate a larger portion size. The portions at Mango Thai are completely satisfactory in my experience. We both left very full and pleased with the entire experience. The dining quarters are a bit tight. We were on the end of the restaurant nearer the door. Since there is no foyer, the cold air did give us a brisk awakening each time someone opened the door. It wasn't enough to ruin the great experience though. The bathroom was clean and modern. read more

Mango Thai - Superb Thai Peanut Curry with fried tofu. Get it now! (If you don't have a peanut allergy) - Thai Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

The closest Thai restaurant Yelp was able to pulled up for me. If you love Mango and Thai food, check this one out. Inside is fairly small but it wasn't crowded on a Sunday afternoon so I was seated in the back booth table. Although there seems to be no signal indicating whether someone entered the restaurant or not, we waited patiently for about 5-8 minutes until we were noticed and seated. The waitress was friendly and interactive with my son - which was why we got the booth table in the back so he could play with his toys! So thoughtful . We also didn't have to wait long. The plates were beautifully plates. Had the Mango Shrimp Salad, Beef Pad See Ew and Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice. My favorite was the fried rice. The noodle dish was okay, not flavorful but I love the noodle and Chinese broccoli. She was also kind enough to take my dish into the back and pack it for me! read more

Fun place but tiny so make reservations. Had shrimp tempura pad thai and delish. A little sweet for me so i would ask for less sauce. Adrianne had panang chicken curry. Also very good. Coming back. read more

Red curry was incredible-perfect amount of spice, the egg rolls were flaky, crisp golden brown with a delicious filling

Ah yes, this cute little place. So imagine little hole-in-the-wall with an upgrade. I got Pad Thai, Mango Spring Rolls, Pot Stickers, and Crab and Avacado Rolls. The crab and avocado​ rolls (mashup anyone?) were superb! and the sauce topped it off, honestly, ​I can't wait to come back and get a second. Minus one star for the price (can anyone tell me how to do half a star????), it's a little on the heavy-handed​ side, but definitely still reasonable. ...and street parking (annoyed eye roll emoji here). Seriously, date night, need to have a small dinner with someone - please try them out. read more

This is a great Thai Place. The food is very fresh and I love all of their sauces. You can tell they put a lot of love and care in everything they make. One of my favorite appetizers is the mango spring rolls. Again fresh and flavorful. Their red curry is very good and so are many dishes. We have been here quite a bit and the food is always good. Rama spinach peanut curry is great too. read more

Went here last night with a group of 8. Glad we made reservations! This restaurant seats about 40 people total. Many were turned away at the door on a thursday. Everyone loved their entree's! The cashew chicken was great! And our personal favorite Thai dish, the massaman curry, was great! Portions are on the small side, but no matter, I think we have a new favorite Thai restaurant! The presentation of the food was also very good. You could dress up to go here or show up in jeans. Our staff was also very nice. And... Did I mention that this is byob? Yeah, awesome! We brought 5 bottles of wine and a mix and match of our favorite beers. They happily provided wine glasses for us too!! No corking fees! read more

I really wanted to like this place. We live in Brooklyn Park but were in the St Paul area and had a coupon for this restaurant in the Entertainment book so decided to check it out. Upon arriving, we stood in the doorway for at least 3 minutes before being greeted and told to seat ourselves. There was only one waitress and she seemed to be doing everything. So it took awhile to get waters, then the menu and then place our order. We ordered the beef jerky with sticky rice appetizer and when we put a spoon into the rice, there was a large black hair running through it. Gross but it happens. They took the appetizer back and replaced it. For our entrees, they were good but not a lot for the price. I had the pad woon sen seafood salad and I had 2 shrimp and one scallop in there. Not worth $15. But the real kicker of this bad review is that after waiting at least 10 minutes for our bill after they bussed our table, I gave them the coupon for the entertainment book which they said they don't honor. It's a 2019 entertainment book and it's January so it's not like it expired. The waitress apologized but said since the manager wasn't there, she couldn't do anything about it. Ok, I get that but she could have at least tried to make it right with comping our appetizer or something especially after the hair incident. Needless to say, we won't be coming back or recommending this restaurant to any friends. Very disappointing. read more

This was my first time visiting this establishment, but I must say I'm disappointed. I got a to-go order and just called my order in on my way to the restaurant. I was shocked when I arrived and they gave me my total for the bill. It was $58 for a soup, egg rolls and two orders of Pad Thai. After arriving home, I found the soup to be unlike any other Tom Kha I've had, and not in a good way, and it was extremely spicy. The chicken in it was in huge pieces. I thought the egg rolls aka fried spring rolls tasted like they were pre-fab frozen, and the Pad Thai was just ok. Everything but the soup was overly sweet. To add insult to injury, I was auditing my checking account online and discovered that they added a tip that I didn't authorize or request. I won't be going back. read more

We live in the neighborhood and come here very often. We have tried different dishes and everything is spectacular. So delicious!!

Highly overpriced, fairly low quality Thai food. That is Mango Thai. You pay for the cheaply made atmosphere of being in a contemporary designed restaurant (what with the wicker baskets, bamboo, low lights and white flowers). I have always thought the wooden panels of the low seating arrangements near the door to just look tacky and unfinished, and have never really been impressed with the food. The drinks are very meager in size, and I'm pretty sure the Pad Thai sauce is a ketchup based one. The Pad Thai is something like $11 and comes with an absurd amount of curly shaved carrots to make it look "contemporary." I have always felt sick after eating the food. I gave the place two stars for location and because when you are craving thai food and don't want to hike to University Ave or Minneapolis, it fulfills the craving in a disappointing, "better than not having it" sort of way. Skip Mango Thai, go to Bangkok Thai Deli near Western Ave on University. $7.50 Pad Thai made by a woman native to Thailand who cooks from scratch with her own family recipes. Enough said. read more

Small portions for the money. Some of dishes are good but not great. I've been through plenty of Thai Restaurants and this one is truly a disappointment. The only thing making this a 2 stars are the dipping sauces for the spring rolls, otherwise would had been 1. read more

Mango Thai disappointed. Initially, you're drawn in by the colorful tables outside and huuuuuge mahogany doors. Courteous waiters in fairly traditional Thai pants and flip flops are running around. Inside, they have "floor-style" seating with a "cheat" - the "floor" is a raised platform with holes cut out beneath the tables so you can sit in comfort (star), but pretend you are exotic and cultured. Attractive options on the menu and (star!!!) no corkage fee for bringing your own bottle. Alas, my stars end there. The spring rolls were delish. Chilean sea bass was off the heezy...but good lord their red curry is FIYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHH! No ability to customize the heat level. :( made it impossible to eat... Mmm mmm more edamame for me, please. ($6 Wendy's salad on the way home). The waiter, although very very nice, didn't ask if I wanted something else, just said he'd be sure to bring me a lot of water. A $30 water diet. Thanks. Sitting there watching everyone else eat, I had plenty of time to look around and notice the bar chairs were falling apart. There was no Thai art...no buddhas or elephants or orchids... Nada. I'd probably go back for straight up pad Thai. But be warned, they mean business with the chili peppers. read more

I eyed this place when I was in the neighborhood for breakfast a few weeks ago. Called them on a Friday evening - and surprise! They take reservations for 4. Disappointing that they don't serve alcohol and can no longer allow BYOB because they don't have a liquor license. The color palette in this place is lime green, black and white and pictures of mangoes and mango orchards. The vibe is laid back, casual, stylish. As we sat waiting for our order the servers were carrying food to the other tables and the presentations were gorgeous! Our Thai salad with fried tofu, eggs, greens, and bean sprouts came with a sauce that was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart and salty. The Thai iced tea was very very sweet but our server had warned my husband of that. It's the first time I have heard my husband pronounce something too sweet - he drank it all though. I got the mahi mahi special and it was over the top superlatively excellent. Flat rice noodles sat in a green curry sauce. Baby bok choy, red peppers, bamboo shoots, and eggplants, each done to varying degrees of softness, topped by pan fried mahi mahi that was crisp on the outside and unbelievably moist on the inside. The sauce was again, balanced between hot, salty, and sweet with so much depth and complexity that I just fell silent, savoring every mouthful. I loved that there was a nice balance of vegetables and noodles. My husband got the Pad Kee Mow - flat rice noodles with chicken, onions, garlic, chillies and basil - and when I asked him how it was, all he cold do was close his eyes and hum mmmmmm - he couldn't be bothered to respond. Dessert of sticky rice and mango was beautifully presented but Supatra does a far better job of this dish. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes. read more
