    A random Saturday and was craving some Thai food. Decided to come here since it's been awhile, we've been coming here since 2016, still good til this day. Over the years I noticed there might have been different owners. Such a small, cute, quiet, and cozy place. When you come in, you get greeted and seated quickly. Food is fresh and hot. The family and I ordered the Satay Chicken, Egg Rolls, Chicken Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, Beef Drunken Noodles, Coconut Juice and Thai Iced Coffee. We usually do take out here, and food would be ready quickly. But the day we went here it took a little longer than expected. We were the only ones there until 4 other families came in to eat as well. Understandable for the wait time and how there was only 1-2 workers at the time.

    Mango Curry

    Came here on Saturday night for dinner and glad it was open. It's a small cozy little restaurant and decorated well. There's only one server, so please be kind a patient. Glad to see there were a few other guests seated and to-go orders ready. Growing up on Thai food, I'm particular. I loved the gravy noodle because not every Thai restaurant serves it. The only downside and reason for 4 stars is that they used American broccoli instead of the traditional Chinese broccoli. The fried banana dessert was also a slightly different texture, but still delicious. Only downside was they had vanilla ice cream instead of traditional coconut ice cream. But I love coming here for an inexpensive lunch or dinner!

    Yellow Curry with Chicken

    We LOVE this place! We come in every time we are in area - about once a month. First, the service is exceptional. The food is always hot and SO good. Be sure to ask for it spicy if you like spicy. The curry is our favorite and full of flavor. I get the yellow curry with chicken. My husband gets the green curry. The portions are a good size and reasonably priced. It is a quaint, hole in the wall, neighborhood place that can get crowded. It is very clean. You won't be disappointed!

    Pa nang curry - very thin
    Matthew M.

    Quite mediocre Thai food. Thin watery light on flavor pa nang curry. Way too many carrots in both the pa nang curry and pad see ew. Just overall not very good unfortunately.

    Thai Fried Rice (Kow Pad)

    First time here. Cute little small restaurant. The lady that served us was very polite. Didn't take long for our food to arrive. Everything was delicious. I just wished my papaya salad was spicer ( husband's fault, he cant handle spice) I will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu.

    Red curry with tofu
    Laura Q.

    I came in on a Wednesday after work, place was quiet, and there was only one person working the counter. Even so, my food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the red curry with tofu, a side of white rice and spring rolls with tofu. My total was was 28$. The spring rolls were made of shredded lettuce, carrots, and about four pieces of fried tofu, they were huge, but flavorless would not order again. No herbs either cilantro / mint ect. Came with a sauce I did not eat. Tasted like old peanut sauce. Rice was low quality and not good. Felt dry and old. The curry was on the sweeter side even though I ordered it spicy. Very runny would not order again.

    Ordered (2) orders of spring rolls. MUCH bigger than expected. Substituted shrimp with chicken

    Mango curry with chicken
    Stanley S.

    So I have a hard time rating this because I've gone before during the pandemic, and the drunken noodles here aren't bad. They're about average with places I've been to, but today's visit was a little disheartening. I got the mango curry with chicken, and lets just say it was probably more like mango chicken. The taste of curry escaped this dish. I think the mango was over ripe or something, but there was also a fact of there was NO lack of mango in this dish. It was pretty much swimming in mango juice with a splash of curry. I understand this is mango curry, but it really just turned into mango. The carrots tasted like mango. The bell peppers tasted like curry. The chicken tasted like a mango with a chicken texture. I like mango, but this was just too much. If you go, I think go for the noodles. But as for this curry, I won't be getting it again.

    Green Curry
    Mike L.

    Unfortunately our first visit here was not the greatest. We ordered green curry, papaya salad, and thai hot wings. The wings were good, a solid 4/5. The curry and papaya salad left much to be desired unfortunately. The curry was basically a watery soup and the papaya salad was missing ingredients listed in it's description. We may give this place another chance, but would only get the wings again.

    Fried Rice (Kow Pad Kra Pow with tofu no eggs) Fresh Spring Rolls Mixed Vegetables (Pad Pak) Barbecue Beef

    The food is so yumm! And if u have different preferences this restaurant is perfect, they offer vegetarian options that actually taste amazing. The lady is honest and sweet, 10/10 the spot to try!!

Their beef Pad Thai is hands down my favorite because it's packed with flavor, the beef is always tender, and I've honestly never had a better Pad Thai anywhere else! We also ordered the papaya salad and the beef larb. The papaya salad was fresh and tasty, though I think it could use a little more shrimp paste for an even deeper flavor. The beef larb, on the other hand, was amazing as always! perfectly seasoned and one of my favorite dishes on the menu. I've dined in several times over the years, and the service has always been quick, friendly, and welcoming. It's one of those places that's consistently great, whether you're eating in or ordering takeout. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving delicious, authentic Thai food!

I've ordered the boat noodle, the tamarind shrimp and the pad see ew. The tamarind shrimp was just okay. The cook on the shrimp was good but the tamarind sauce was too sweet for my taste and the broccoli was over cooked and unnecessary in my opinion. The boat noodle was solid. Flavorful and beefy and the noodles had amazing texture. Not a stand out dish in my opinion but solid. The pad see ew has been my favorite dish from this restaurant so far. The portion is HUGE and they don't skimp on the protein. Flavor is a tad sweet for me but if you add sambal or chili oil it's pretty darn good. Definitely the highlight dish for me. I'll definitely be coming back to try more.

    Food 3.8 Service 3.7…read more Saturday night and wife wanted Thai food, so she/we wanted to go back to Rao so she can have their Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. When we walked in, we were greeted, sat promptly, and provided water while we looked over the menu. My wife took a call from her sister, so luckily she gave me her order before stepping outside to finish the call: chicken yellow curry, "the boat" noodle soup, crispy pork belly and of course mango sticky rice. I did mention for the pork belly to come out with dinner so my wife wouldn't get full from eating the appetizer. Unfortunately the pork belly came out first then followed with the main dishes 5 minutes later which is not how I asked for the food to arrive. Was it a deal breaker, in the larger scheme of things it wasn't but for this review it is. The food is delicious but a bit heavy on the fish sauce and tamarind for my liking in the Boat noodle soup. The curry chicken was just right since there was no spice added and the mango sticky rice was the perfect ending for my wife's dinner. Until our next visit...

Tried the: Laos Sausage, 8/10. It was good and I loved how it was cooked - the skin was perfectly crispy and the meat on the inside was just right. I do wish it came with a tomato pepper sauce like other places. It paired well with the Laos Papaya salad. Laos Papaya Salad, 10/10. Right amount of sweetness and flavor for me. Goes great with the laos sausage. Thai Fried Rice, 7/10. Nice flavor, but it feels like there's something missing and I can't figure out. Pad Thai, 8/10. Al dente rice noodles, good flavor. I did taste more tamarind? in there than I'm used to. Spicy Basil Eggplant, 7/10. It was good. Mango Sticky Rice, 8/10. Love the color choice of the rice. I feel like the sugar sauce on the side would be better if they add coconut milk (or add more if they already do).

    This was my first time here and can say this spot is a hidden gem. The ambiance immediately made me…read morefeel like this was going to be an authentic experience. The Roti appetizer we started with was warm, buttery, and paired well with the curry sauce. I absolutely love Lao style papaya salad and wow did Thai Mango exceed my expectations. As you can see from my other photos, I had ordered a few different dishes to try out. The pork rinds, rice noodles, and cabbage was a huge bonus which I enjoyed. As I was with guests who don't do spicy, I ordered medium and it had a bit of heat yet so much flavor. I took it home and my parents ate all of it (they are very picky with their papaya salad). We also ordered both the Pumpkin Curry with chicken and the Green Curry with shrimp. The portions were good, however I wish it came with a rice. We had to order a side of steamed jasmine rice and brown rice (forgot to take a picture). Both curries were delicious and I personally would rate them an 8/10 (pretty solid). The Pad Thai with chicken was my second favorite dish, which was very close to the papaya salad (1st place). They don't skimp on flavor or protein which I appreciate. This last part of the review isn't more about the food, but rather the hospitality and kindness. There was a homeless lady who came in calm at first and asked people for food. She started to get aggressive and was speaking to herself (tweaking). Not sure if it was the owner but a man came out from the kitchen and gave her an order of fried rice that she had asked for earlier. They could have called the police or been rude to her but they showed that they are kindhearted and really do care. You can count on seeing me again for some Lao style Papaya Salad. Next time I'll have to order the spiciest level available! Come check out this Thai/Lao fusion restaurant. Thanks again Thai Mango.

    It's been a hot second since I've been here, but I've been here at least twice now! The first time…read morewas at least around the pandemic time. This time I came with my mom. I remembered the kapoon being generously sized and delicious, and the nam khao also being solid. My mom hadn't had these dishes before, so we decided to order these. My mom also hadn't had stuffed wings before, and I hadn't had it here before, so we also got that. To start, service here was exceptional. The young gentleman greeted us when we came in, and he was great at communication. There were times he was busy as it was the lunch hour, but he made sure to let us know that he didn't forget about us. We had asked for more time to look over the menu, but he had to get stuff for another table, and he basically told us he would be right with us. I haven't seen this basic communication at other places in a while, and definitely noticed. He was also very attentive and asked us preemptively if we were sharing the kapoon and that they could split it up into two bowls for us, instead of having us split it ourselves. Dishes we had: - Kapoon: Despite it being split into two bowls, it was still generously sized. Lots of chicken pieces, lots of noodles. The soup was flavorful on it's own. There's also quail eggs. They give you a side of lime, mint, bean sprouts, and shredded cabbage. - Nam Khao: Slightly on the saltier side, but it was still good. Great texture. It comes with cucumbers and a couple leaves of lettuce. Wished there was a bit more lettuce to wrap the nam khao in, and also a bit of lime on the side. We used our leftover lime for this dish. You can get fermented pork on the side, which the server quickly asked and I almost didn't process what he said, but I said yes to it. It was a packaged stick of fermented pork with a chili that you can cut with scissors and gloves they provide to you. The gloves might not be necessary if you cut the packaging and then cut the fermented pork stick straight from the packaging (trying to save the business some expenses!) - Stuffed wing: Delicious! Very flavorful. You can taste the lime leaf flavor in there. It tastes amazing with the sweet chili sauce. They can also give you another sauce on the side (didn't catch it), but it adds a bit of moisture and extra flavor with the sauce. The chicken skin had a nice slight crisp and chew to it. It comes with pickled veggies. They do have a lunch specials version of this that comes with rice, and I think rice on the side would be nice with this. It's $1 for the rice on the side with other extra things to the lunch special. The rest of the menu has definitely expanded since the pandemic to include soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, ice cream, happy hour and lunch specials. I am curious about their sandwiches and some of their other soups, and would love to come back soon!

    My Honest Review Customer Service: 4/5…read moreFood: 2/5 Damage: $80 What we ordered: * 1 Kaopoon * 1 Beef Larb * 4 Skewers * 1 Chow Fun Noodle Let me start with the good -- the skewers and Kaopoon were definitely the winners. Those were probably the best parts of the meal and what I enjoyed the most. The Beef Larb was a little too tough for my liking. It felt slightly overcooked and just wasn't the texture I was expecting. The Chow Fun noodles were also way too soft for my preference. I like my noodles with a little more texture, so these didn't really do it for me. Overall: 3/5 For what we ordered, $80 felt pretty expensive, especially considering the food was just okay. Nothing was terrible, but for that price, I expected to be more impressed. Would I go back? Probably not anytime soon. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, but based on this experience, it just wasn't worth the $80 for me.
