Mango Tree - Tom Yum soup - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

My wife and I eat at Mango Tree often. The staff is friendly and fairly attentive. We almost always get the panang curry with chicken, and the green curry with shrimp. Always great! Every once in a while I'll step out of the curry zone and order Pad Thai with chicken, or one of the large noodle dishes. We almost always get medium spice (2 or 3), and that's just enough heat for us. Recently we tried the Swimming Angel. It was really good, but the sweetness of the peanut sauce makes it a better appetizer than entree. All in all, we really enjoy Mango Tree and will continue coming back often. No major complaints. read more

First time here not too sure about eating Curry. Usually it is overused and just too much but I got to pic my strength of spice so it was just right. Lots of things on the menu need to come back and try some more! read more

Love the place. Always greeted warmly when we go. I alternate between The yellow curry, massaman curry and red curry. They are always consistent in how they taste so I know what to expect. Glad I don't live closer or I would be there several times a week. read more

There was no air conditioning in June. As we entered the dining room the smell was unbearable - like a dirty bathroom. I literally held my breath. Determined to give it a chance, we waited for 10 minutes after seating ourselves. No one ever batted an eye at our table. One waitress was taking an order from a large table, and as she finished she stopped by a table that sat down after us to get drink orders. We got up and left the establishment without spending a dime. read more

We walk in and the waitress tells us to have a seat. We pick a table by a window. The waitress makes us move because we chose a table that seats six and there were only 3 of us. The restaurant was not busy. She brought us all water when we asked for tea and lemonade. While ordering, I asked what the house salad, she replied with a groan and flipped the menu around abruptly to point he finger in the description. While ordering my dad was asking some questions about the appetizer and she yanked the menu out of his hand and ran away to put the order in without answering his question l. She brought us our check without asking if we wanted dessert. She told me to hurry up and sign the receipt. This was such a terrible un-welcomed experience! The food is great though, won't return because if this. read more

Love this place and everything about it. Food, Service, attention to detail and friendliness - Nailed it! Will be returning again and again.

This one of our favorite spots to eat at. The service is usually pretty good. The food is always good. In the last 3 years we have eaten there dozens of times and only once did i return a plate and they fixed the issue and did not charge me for the entree. You just cannot beat the lunch specials. Would defintely recommend this place as would several of my friends. read more

Awesome ! Just found out they delivered ! Food was hot and fresh . Delivery time wasn't long at all. My new go to.

I've found quite a number of Vietnamese places on the northwest side of town near my office, but not so many Thai places. So when I saw Mango Tree mentioned on several blogs and websites as having excellent Thai fare, I knew I had to make a visit. My first time in, I started with a cup of the Tom Yum chicken soup, which was tangy, spicy, and replete with various cuts and tasty bits of chicken, and several different types of mushrooms. But before this came out, a small mixed salad of fresh greens and slices of apple with a honey mustard dressing was brought out, along with a little eggroll with sweet sauce. I would have expected some sort of ginger dressing instead, but the eggroll was quite good, and regardless, it was complimentary, and welcome. Next came a spicy Green Curry with chicken. I specified the spiciness at a 4 out of 5, which had a kick but wasn't overwhelming. I'm always leery of going with a 5, just in case that's on some other, Thai-scale of spiciness that would render me numb. The spiciness was cut with the sweet coconut milk curry, with its complex notes and tons of fresh bell peppers, green beans, eggplant, and tomato - the latter two of which really soak up the spices to become little flavor bombs. The curry was good both on its own, or ladled over the stack of sticky rice plated from a heart-shaped mold. On my next trip, I started with the Chicken Sate (Satay) skewers, which came out quick despite the 15 minute wait warned on the menu. I was on my own, but these large cuts of chicken (4) would much better serve a party of two. They had the characteristic yellow hue of turmeric, and not just on the outside, but pervading the chicken all the way to the bamboo skewers running through the middle. The chicken came with the usual peanut sauce, as well as a sweet and spicy sauce with fresh peppers and cucumber. For the main course, I got the Pad Thai which was excellent with plenty of chicken and bits of egg, scallions, and bean sprouts mixed with the noodles in a sweet sauce, topped with some crushed peanuts, as well as some lime juice I spritzed on top as well as in my eye. This dish apparently came with an incongruous cup of hot and sour soup, which was very good, and better even than some Chinese restaurants. This second meal ran me nearly $20, and the first was about $15. Granted, I didn't need to order appetizers, and the second meal was big enough that I split it in two, and took the rest home for dinner. While most Thai restaurants seem to be BYOB, Mango Tree does serve beer, and since most cuisines are complimented by their own national beers, you can order an ice cold Chang here without having to make a special trip to Spec's beforehand. But where many restaurants offer lunch specials in the $6-7 range, those at Mango Tree run $8-9. You do, however, get what you pay for in the form of excellent Thai cuisine served up by a busy, yet seemingly familial kitchen which appears to add as much figurative love to their dishes as they do literal, in those sculpted hearts of rice. read more

I went to the restaurant with my wife for lunch today and... There was a COCKROACH in my fried rice!!! What made it worse was that the dish was half done when I saw the roach!! My wife and I lost all the appetite at once, just wanted to leave the place and abandoned other dishes unfinished. What's ridiculous was the restaurant still charged everything except the fried rice. The restaurant really knows how to minimize its loss. My advice: remember to look for any unexpected visitors in your plate if you still plan to visit. read more

Whoever has given this place 4 stars has never had real thai food before. The waiter, completely out of tune with service, obviously a member of the family and a high school kid, didn't have any idea of the existence of about 5 things i asked about. Cold, out of a package peanut sauce, sub-par soup (how do you screw up soup?) bland, obviously bagged, frozen veggies. I have tried to forget most of my experience & disappointment with this place on that day, or I'd have more details to litanize here. Just avoid, that's all. There are better Thai options in this town. read more

My family decided to try this place out on Saturday night we were the only ones in there, but we still had to wait for them to clean a table. I found it hard to believe that we missed a dinner rush at 7 pm, so it just made me wonder how long they leave their tables dirty. read more

Food Quality is Best Management is good. Rate is affordable. Small Place and it needs waiting. But overall it rocks!! read more

Went here yesterday for my birthday lunch, and it was fantastic! As others have said the lunch specials come with a ton of food, and its no lie! I had the tofu pad thai(with big chunks of tofu..I mean big!) with a veggie fried spring roll, a bowl of miso soup, and a cabbage and apple salad with honey mustard dressing, all for $8.00!!(My husband loves how cheap I am!) Everything was delicious, and our waiter was very quick and friendly. I tried to finish it all, because I believe firmly that all foods consumed on your birthday are fat free....but to my dismay I left about a 1/2 a cup of pad thai on my plate, and a button undone on my pants. When my next Thai craving hits, I will be back for sure! read more

I usually go to Anothai but decided to venture here to try it out. The place was empty when we came in but slowly filled up later with 5 other tables. My family and I ordered the Tiger Cry, Pad Phet Prik Khing, Yellow Curry with chicken, and Pad Kee Mao and Thai Tea. Thai Tea - It was very inconsistent. Too sweet or not sweet enough. Tiger Cry - The worst I've had. The meat was chewy and dry. Pad Phet Prik Khing - Basically swimming in oil. Yellow Curry - We asked for level 3 spicy. It was pretty much a level 1 mild and watered down. Pad Kee Mao - Just oily and lacked flavor. Rice - Super dry and warm. We're Asian and as soon as the rice came out, my dad took one look and mentioned the rice is dry. My mom ate a bite and agreed. We just knew. It is priced like any normal Thai place but why pay this when you can go somewhere and pay the same and get better food? Our server kept coming back to our table telling us they ran out of ingredients or asking us how we wanted our meat cooked for the Tiger Cry dish. I don't get why there were that many other tables being occupied or why there are great reviews for this place. I mean, I feel like I ordered pretty standard food when it comes to Thai restaurants, besides Pad Thai. We still had food left over on our plate. The server asked if we were full and we politely said yes. We were "full" because the food was so awful. read more

Not a good place to go for lunch, unless you have a couple of hours. The food is good, prices are reasonable, but you will wait a long time. Service is sub par. It is also very difficult to order the appropriate spice level at this restaurant because it seems to change daily. One day a "four" seems like they didn't put any spice in it, the next day it is so hot nobody can eat it. When they get it right, it is good food, enjoyable experience if you have the time to wait. read more

The first few times I was here I picked up to go orders. It was good no complaints. Came to dine in after bragging to co workers about how good the food was, and was disappointed and embarrassed. The waitress didn't come to us for more than 20 minutes. When it was time to order I mentioned several times that I don't eat pork. She came back with wonton soup. Ate half the soup and then cut into the wonton and what do you know? It's PORK. Service got worse after that. Fast forward to today. Ordered chicken green curry to go. I come back to the office and the chicken is RAW. Never coming here again. Service and food is getting worse and worse. I am very disappointed. read more

Mango Tree - RAW CHICKEN in my to go green curry. No I am not bringing it back, but here's what it looks like. - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is a really great Thai place in the northwest side of town. They were nice and offered to bring out a side of chili so that I could spice my plate up and my wife could have a cooler version of the same dish. They brought out crushed chilis, not chili sauce like other places have done. Food is exellent. read more

I frequent this place sporadically because it's closer to my house than Nit Noi. The food is great. But my experience today made me decide to not come back. My family (mother, brother, niece and my 2 year old son) and I came to have lunch here. The place was packed with the usual of 2 servers for the establishment. Just two servers. The bus lady took our drink order. After a while a server took our food order. The salad and soup came out, followed by my lunch order. Then 5 minutes later, my brother and niece's order comes out. A good 10 minutes later, my mother's food still hadn't come out. I asked about it, and it then came out a good 5 minutes later. No one checked on us, refilled our drinks or anything. I got up to get my own to go boxes since at this point it was "help yourself " now. When I got the check, I noticed that there was an automatic tip charge of 18%. When I asked about it, they said the table was a party of 5. My son, a 2 year old who did not eat was considered for the party of 5. Not to mention the automatic tip of 7 plus dollars for the CRAPPIEST service we had ever received. read more

Unfortunately, my first visit to Mango Tree will be my last. The service was very lackluster. Not once did any server ask if my food was okay, if I needed anything, or even offer to refill my water. And when the check was dropped off and picked back up again, and they had a final opportunity to connect with their diner, they still didn't ask how my meal was or even bother to thank me for coming. The fried calamari was nice thick slices, however it was extremely chewy and all the tempura batter just fell off pretty much every bit of it. Disappointing. The shrimp pad Thai was a decent size, with a decent number of shrimp, but it was a bit too oily and sweet for my taste. I'd asked for the green onions on the side, which turned out to be a minuscule pile of tiny slices mixed with chopped cilantro possibly, something I strongly don't care for, so had to avoid that. Another thing that bothered me was that the pad Thai had sliced red onions in it! Not only have I never seen red onion in pad Thai (it's my favorite Thai dish, so I've had it many, many places, numerous times over the years), but since I asked for the green onion on the side, it would've been nice if the server had thought to warn me and ask if I wanted the red onion removed, too. It changed the flavor in an off way, so I spent a good deal of time picking it out. With so many Thai restaurants to choose from in a city this size, the service wasn't good enough, and the food wasn't special enough to bother coming back. read more

I have been going to local Thai places for years. I have even been to Thailand. I have been to this Mango Tree several times a year for the last few years. NEVER had a problem until my last visit. I like Tom Yum soup and have had it many times at many places including many times at Mango Tree. When I ordered it on my last visit they asked me what spice level and I told them very little. What I got was ridiculously Hot! Too hot to eat. Hotter than any of the many many bowls I've had before at Mango Tree or any other place. When I pointed this out, they wanted to argue with me that this is the way it is always made and only had "2" level hot/spice. It was Not the way it always is! I'm not some wimp that is not used to spicy food. They obviously way over did the spice! Their failure to acknowledge this or correct it spoils this place for me. I did not give them a lower rating because of the prior positive experiences there. read more

I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed until now. Nothing tastes the same anymore. And I asked if there was a change in cooks and she indeed said that there is a new cook. And that's where they went wrong. I'm very sad to be saying this but I've given mango tree too many chances and it's over now. read more

Siam noodles are awesome. Green curry fried rice is also very tasty. Honestly, the food is always really good, sometimes great. I would normally give a place like this 4 stars, but the service often leaves a lot to be desired. Often takes forever to get the check, even when the place is virtually empty. Really I give Mango Tree 3.5 stars with a chance to bump to 4 if the service improved. read more

Is this restaurant under new management? This used to be a 5 star for me with delicious food but tonight's $60.00 order for 4 is our last. All of the meals were bland and had very, very little meat. Very disappointing. read more

I've gone there twice. The food is delicious! My only tip is to start of with a little spice. They have spice levels from 1-5. The first time I went I got a level 3 medium spice for and soon regretted it. They food was so good but I couldn't eat a lot because it was too spicy for me. I had to take the food home and finish it in segments. This last time I got a lower spice level and it was perfect. read more

Tried their masman curry and Tom kha Gai this time and every bite was just pure disappointment. I was really craving thai food but going all the way to Midtown is kind of a stretch so I thought I'd give this place another go and it's still not that great, the chicken is over cooked in the curry and dry and the potatoes are undercooked and hard. It's just so disappointing to eat this food. And given the price for these dishes I will definitely not come back. read more

Good food, but wow, do they ever need more staff to speed up their very slow service!

Food is really good. Service is very slow. Not sure if this was abnormal, but they seemed to not handle the lunch rush very well. Going to try again to see if service issues are any different. read more

The greeter and food deliverer were super nice. Came on a Tuesday for lunch for the first time and tried the Tom Yum soup which was good. I got the Yellow Curry again, but I think I am going to try the Red Curry next. Had a couple of bites of my friend's green curry and it was good. read more

Decided to try this thai spot on the fly-by. I was a little confused upon entry because there was no server to great us or a sign saying we could seat ourselves. No biggie, we ended up seating ourselves and shortly after, a waitress came to the table. Soup, small slaw salad, and mini-egg roll are served. The soup broth was totally lacking in flavor, and the slaw was just ok. I think it would taste better if the slaw was pickled thai style instead of w/honey dijon dressing (had it at another thai spot- tantalizing). The egg roll was perfect. We tried the cream cheese rolls and they were delicious- different from the standard wanton cream cheese puffs and pleasant to the taste. They were hot out the fryer and the dipping sauce was oh so yummy. For the main courses, we had the thai pepper steak and the massaman curry. Few places do massaman right- sadly, this is not one of those spots. I wish the dish had a more nutty/sweet flavor- curry was a bit bland. The thai pepper steak (with level 5 spice of course) was very good. I worst part of this eating experience was the wait time after our meal was over. Only one person was working the tables and we waited and waited and waited and waited...AND WAITED for our check. It was like our table was completely forgotten and the waitress wasn't even visible. read more

After finding Mango Tree on Yelp, I gave it a whirl for lunch today. As always, my first test is based on Tom Kha soup and either green or red curry. The soup was pure white (no red chilie oil or spice at all). It wasnt bad, but I would not get it again. I may try the Tom Yum as others have suggested. I went for the red curry. It was one of the best I have had. The waitress suggested I go with the dinner portion for only $1 more and I would get 32 oz vs only 16oz on the lunch portion. I appreciated that, so that is what I got. She said the red curry was the most popular item and I can see why. I asked for medium spice and it was spiced just right.. I got my order to go and when I got back to the office, I was pleasantly surprised. The container was FULL of chicken, green beans, bamboo, peppers and all the usual goodies found in the red curry. It was the most I have ever seen. Well worth the $9 and a hefty portion of rice too. I will most certainly return to try some of the other things on the menu. Very nice atmosphere too read more

Great thai place in the nw side. I would definitely return. Loved all the dishes we ordered

Mango Tree has been my go-to Thai place since moving to Texas and they never disappoint. Their curries have fantastic flavor, the Thai iced tea is always on point, and they'll make your food properly spicy if you request it. The last couple times I've gone I got the pla lad prik and it's been perfect. Two big flaky fillets of white fish, battered and fried to a perfect crisp and sauced with a delicious sweet-spicy-sour concoction. I'd recommend it to anyone that's a fan of seafood and spice. read more

Mango Tree - Cashew nut chicken and heart shaped rice! Yum! - Thai Near Me - Houston, Texas

Mango tree is one of my favorite Thai's restaurant. It never gets me disappointed. I used to live near by there and became their regular customer. My hubby worked near Mango tree so he often has lunch on there. - Service: 4/5 well, it is family business. waitress is also owner so she is so nice and friendly, she always cares a lot about customers, I really love her. My husband said her husband also work in the kitchen, and others servers are their relatives. On lunch, this place is super super busy, sometimes there is no table left and we have to wait up to 30 mins. Service and food come out slower too bc too many dine in and order to go. This is not a big problem with us. - Food: 5/5 Pad thai: over the top, so delicious Chicken satay: great Curry: my hubby love curry here, so flavorful and balanced taste. Papaya salad is also good choice here. Their soup and salad come with lunch special are bomb, crispy roll is crunchy and delicious!!!!! - Price: it is average price if compared to another Thai restaurant. Love it a lot!!!! read more

This place is really cool. I tried the pineapple fried rice and it was amazing. There can sometimes be a crowd so make sure you get there early. The staff is very friendly and the food does not take very long at all to come out. The prices are just right and the parking is good. read more
