When I lived right up the road in West Newton, I was at Mango Thai at least a couple times a month. Their number lived in my phone and the people there knew me - and my usual order. This isn't because it's great Thai food, just because it was nearby. Once I moved to the other side of Newton, I've only been back a couple times when in the area. However, as a quick Thai take-out standby for a lazy night, Mango Thai always did the trick. read more

Mango Thai is a great little spot in West Newton. This is a family run shop with great service. We have ordered both take-out and sit in dinners and have been impressed by all. We hadn't gone in, in some time, and when we returned, the young man behind the counter said he was happy to see us back. I usually order the curry or the Pad Thai Country Style. They are both fabulous. If you do not want something in the dish, they will gladly leave it out. I would recommend this place for a quick and delicious dinner. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Good food. Reasonably priced. The place is very clean and the staff is friendly. Tom yum noodle soup is absolutely to die for. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I get take out here about once a week. Most of the things on the menu are pretty good. The country-style pad thai is one of our favorites, as well as the Pad See Ew. The only thing I haven't really liked has been the crispy chicken, which was a bit salty for my taste The food has always been ready within 10-15 minutes, and the portions are good for the price. read more

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!!!!! read more

INCREDIBLY AUTHENTIC: I have been going here off-and-on for the last couple of years, but something has really change in the past 6 months. The food here, since this summer, is some of the most authentic I have tasted in the Boston area. I have traveled to Thailand a number of times, and this is by far the closest thing to the tastes and flavors that you'd expect. Maybe they have a new chef? Whatever it is, keep it up Mango Thai... I LOVE IT! read more

Love Mango Thai. Only have been for lunch, however the food is always hot and ready when I get there. Parking is tough, but you can park in the city lot across the street at a meter spot. The service is consistently friendly and welcoming, and the food is always prepared the way I ask! It is my go-to lunch spot at work and they have discounted prices for lunch items. Can't beat it! read more

Do NOT come here to sit down if you are in a hurry. The Boyfriend and I stopped in here after debating whether or not we really wanted to go to Blue Ribbon BBQ. While it wasn't a mistake, it was not a great experience. The food is average for Thai joints, the Crab Rangoon was even better than average, but the service was really terrible. We got seated by an adorable 8ish year old but then it took forever to place our order. The food came out quickly but again it took forever to get the bill. They make an attempt at creating ambiance with some cool light but in essence it has the vibe of a typical take out joint. I wouldn't make the trip out here again and there are better restaurants to check out if you are catching a movie at West Newton Cinemas (we're fans of Cormelias, Blue Ribbon BBQ, and Sweet Tomatoes). read more

Fast and friendly service, food was average Thai food but no disappointments

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. read more

The pad Thai is great. Reasonably priced and great for take out . It could easily feed 2 people.

This little restaurant is a real gem! I have been going there for years with my kids. It is our favorite place to go for Thai food. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

This is my favorite Thai place to go to lately. The waiters are excellent, the food is fresh and delicious. Also the decorations inside are a plus. They have cozy seats and plants to set an ambience. Try the fresh rolls! read more

I order curry with TOFU and when I got home they had given me CHICKEN How do you mess that up? I checked the receipt on my bag and it said tofu. So disappointed. I was over in the area getting my nails done so I guess I'm stuck ordering from somewhere else now. read more

I ordered delivery while waiting at the ER at Newton Wellesley, great food, very reasonable, quick delivery and sent all the condiments. Will go back! read more

Greasy, bland Thai. Extremely slow. I'm the fool for trying three times. Let me save you the trouble.

Ordered the Mango delight and it was mediocre and very unappetizing. The dish had pieces of mango that was mushy and looked like they used a dull knife to slice it. The rice was not of the best quality either. My friend had the Pad Thai and he seemed to be happy with his noodles. The Egg Roll was not bad though. read more

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. read more

very yummy pad thai!!! delicious 4 stars for getting chicken in mine while saying "no chicken" ... so speak your order clearly read more

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. read more

Owner of restaurant has apologized and confirmed this won't happen again...Food is excellent, only issues I have ever had was with service, will keep you posted..... read more

I have only dined here once, so my rating could go up or down. I went here because I wanted some inexpensive Thai food and it was getting late (they are open until 10pm). The restaurant looks like it was a bar or a pizza place. It's clean, but sort of like a fast-food place. At first I thought you ordered at the counter because they have some food photos (like a fast food place) by the counter, but they serve you at your table. It's a very casual place. I ordered the Golden Triangles but received the Tofu Triangles, but it didn't matter much to me, so I just ate them. I thought they were good, my girlfriend thought the texture was a little too soft (she eats tofu often). For my main dish I got the Pad Kee Mao with chicken. It consisted of noodles, chicken, carrots, bamboo shoots, and some other veggies. I thought it was tasty and a great value for the price. Overall it was a decent place, and very affordable. I shall keep their take-out/delivery menu on my fridge. read more

This is our go-to spot when my coworkers and I want takeout out for lunch. They're always super fast and friendly, and everything I've ordered from here has been great. I absolutely love their Pad Woon Sen, but everyone else is a fan of the "country style pad thai". There's a public parking lot across the street, which makes Mango Thai one of the easiest places in West Newton to get fast takeout. read more

Fast Thai food restaurant! Cozy. Great for takeout. Friendly staff and quick service.

Very disappointed with my meal. Used to be superb here. I had the wrong appetizer delivered and they brought me what I ordered yet wanted back the cold wrong appetizer. Also crispy chicken on pad Thai was minimal and did not taste good. Unfortunately I won't be going back. read more

This place was suggested by our au pair, who is from Thailand. She claims its the most authentic Thai food in the area. We had them for take-out dinner. Excellent food! read more

Ordered take out from here, fast service. the food was good, I got the Country Pad Thai, and it had just the right amount of spice for me without being too hot. I will be coming back here for sure. read more

We go there once a week. Pad Thai is delicious and the servings are generous. We go there mainly for take out. Easy, fast service and great food! read more

Food not great at all..There are way better thai restaurants in the area. The service is bad.. This girl was on the phone and didn't even acknowledge me until 15mins later.. so I walked out. Bad Service/Not great food = Lose Business. my Advice is to Go somewhere else better.. read more

Best pad Thai I've ever eaten and I've had a lot of pad Thai.

A small, local eatery with friendly staff and fresh food. I ordered take-out recently through GrubHub and got an estimated wait time of 45 minutes to an hour, but the food ended up arriving early! Colorful, flavorful food - my favorites are the silver soup (chicken soup) with vegetables (clear broth and not too salty), the yellow curry (sweet and spicy, like coconut milk is having a party), and golden triangles. The food is well worth the money. read more

I have BEEN to Thailand...and this is as good as it gets in the Newton area...especially for delivery. The curries are all very good and the TomYom soup (actually a Laotian dish!) is fresh, tasty, and not face-meltingly spicy. Delivery is friendly and reliable. Heads-up that the person who answers the phone has a hard time understanding addresses. Be VERY specific. read more

This review is so late in coming. My wife and I have been eating at Mango weekly (or getting delivery) every week for the past 9 years! We have never had a meal at Mango that wasn't delicious. Our favorites are the Pad Kee Mao with chicken, the Yum Nua Salad (beef), Chicken Basil and the steamed pork dumplings. If you like curries, the Massaman and Panang are exceptional. Patty and her family run Mango and they are so kind, super quick and extremely accommodating to any food allergies/dislikes. Delivery is so fast. We live about 12-15 minutes away from Mango. The last time we ordered delivery, it was here in 17 minutes. We could not believe it when the doorbell rang. If you like Thai food, you NEED to try out Mango! read more

I wish I could "be happy" that I tried this place for the first time and guess what happened, they blew it. Words of caution to all vegetarians and vegan. ALL THAI CURRIES HAVE FISH based ingredients so order with specifics of what you want. This place has the worst customer service I have ever seen. Nobody cares if you keep waiting for a server at the door and if the phones are ringing....the guy comes...looks at you...takes his calls and 20mins later..without offering to know if u want take out or dine in assumes you are take out then if you happen to find your own seat he never shows up to you and when you go to order he charges you before you eat and after all said and done, says sorry I thought you were dine-in and serves you chicken when the order was clearly written in his own hand writing that it's a TOFU CHO CHEE CURRY. I advise caution before you order and please check and see if you find an extra leg of a dead pig/animal or who knows what...once you get your order. Good luck! read more

I live right near by and frequent this place any time I need some great takeout. Yellow curry with pineapple? Spicy Country Pad Thai? Fried Pork Dumplings? Yes please! They food has been consistently absolutely delicious, perfect for dinner after a long day! My order is always ready in only 10 minutes and the employees are always super nice and friendly. Even if I did not live near by, I would make the trek to grab some great eats. Considering their dining area is just a plain room, they actually have done a great job decorating so if you need to eat in, you can do that too, they will serve you. read more

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

I can't decide whether I am at greater fault for only going by the stars to make my restaurant choice (and not reading the full reviews) or for thinking that I was going to find good Thai food in the suburbs when I'm used to the authentic dishes served at Rod Dee and Dak Bua as well as tasty offerings at places like Brown Sugar in Boston. Either way, I would like to share the blame with previous reviewers who gave far too many stars considering all the negative details provided in the review itself. If you had a bad experience, you shouldn't give 3 stars. Mango Thai Cuisine is NOT "A-OK." SUMMARY: Depressing empty restaurant at 1:45pm on a holiday Monday with all the lights out, so it was dark and dismal. The server was unfriendly and could barely be bothered. The food was horrible. SERVICE: When I walked in, not a soul was eating or working in the dining room or at the front desk, and there was no bell for me to alert the staff that there was a customer. Once I sat down, the server still spent the entire time in the back until I was getting ready to leave. I suppose she wanted to make sure I didn't dash. Thai food is eaten with a spoon, yet when I asked for one, she looked at me like I had 10 heads. Once she brought it over to me, she looked it over and handed it to me. That would have been cool, but when I looked at it myself, I clearly saw that it was absolutely filthy and food stained, which I immediately brought to her attention. I swear she seemed to be talking loudly and crying in the back before she returned with a healthier looking utencil. From the moment I walked in, I felt unwelcome and that any simple request I made was a huge burden. It just seems wrong that I was worrying more about the server's restaurant experience than she was worrying about mine. ATMOSPHERE: All the lights were out, so it was dark and depressing in the room. Despite the fact that today was unseasonably warm weather, the heat was blasting, making it uncomfortable. FOOD: I ordered Fresh Rolls ($5) and Pad Kra Pow which can be had with either ground pork or chicken. I chose the pork. (I forget how much. I'd like to say $8.) Fresh spring rolls are a big crap shoot. Most restaurants don't do them all that well. They were the best part of the meal, but still missed the mark. On the positive note, the ingredients all seemed fresh (at least at one point). There was a generous basil leaf in each as well as some green onion to add flavor, but there was too much iceberg lettuce and vermicelli noodles. I couldn't tell whether the specs of shrimp were actually shrimp or imitation crab and the peanut-based dipping sauce had no flavor. Pad Kra Pow is a spicy basil flavored meat dish made with either ground pork or chicken. I'm used to it being fairly dry apart from the oils that come out of the meat, and there is usually a generous amount of spicy basil, green and red pepper and onion. The Mango Thai Cuisine version was drowned in some sort of brown gravy, and the meat was of questionable quality and the grind was far more coarse than I would have liked. I asked for my check long before I was ready to leave. I was relieved to discover that I had perfect change and was able to bolt as soon as I'd had enough. I've had enough Mango Thai Cuisine to last a lifetime. read more

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. read more
