The Chinese food restaurant I usually go to went out of business so I swung by Sweet Mango since it was on my way home for dinner. Bought Honey Walnut Prawns and steamed rice that cost $25.00 + tip. Worst Honey Walnut Prawns I've ever had. Nothing sweet or good about them. This was only my 2nd time buying food there. Can't really remember what I ate the first time except it was around $30 for their (3) item lunch. Will be looking for a new Chinese Food restaurant. read more

Came here after reading a few reviews.. and was genuinely impressed of the high ratings with so many reviews. Ordered the Chicken Pad-Kee-Mao despite the lunch specials being very tempting as well. Alas, I was in the mood for noodles. Food and service was quick, and I couldn't help but chuckle a little bit when the dish came out. Served on a pretty popular plate that you probably have yourself.. I couldn't help but laugh that it looked like something I could make myself in my own kitchen.. The Corelle Simple Sketch plates (that I have myself at home) completed that look perfectly. The food was comforting.. rich in flavor and not overpowering in the spicy level.. It was what I was craving and it was delicious. Finished off my lunch with some fried bananas and coconut ice cream. Not bad.. not bad at all. read more

My review from last time is pretty much the same, but I decided to give a more updated version. I'm a huge fan of Thai food and I really love the flavors here! The flavor hasn't change, which is a great thing since I love the subtly of the flavors. We got the Pad Thai and Red Curry Chicken and both were super yummy! The only small flaw was that the veggies in the curry were still "raw" and slightly big. Kind of wish the vegetables where more soaked/softer, but again, small flaw. As for the service, it was pretty good. I do want to point out that we were the only ones dining in at the time. The ladies were super friendly and nice and obviously attentive to us. However, like before, we felt slightly rushed. Nothing bothersome, but one instance was after we finished paying. She laid out a new sheet and was waiting behind us to clean up while we were still signing the receipt and putting our card away. But again, they were super nice, so it didn't bother us that much. Another small random note is that we weren't a fan of the water. Their water comes with lemon pieces inside, but that's not the problem--it was the taste. It tasted weird... we ended up just eating our meal without drinking water cause it was that weird tasting. Can't really explain it. I would suggest getting a drink that's not water if you visit read more

Sweet Mango - Pad Thai & Red Curry Chicken - Burmese Near Me - San Jose, California

Sweet Mango may look a little run down on the outside, but don't let looks deceive you. There is reason it has over a thousand reviews with a 4 star average. I came during lunch hour and the restaurant was not busy at all. After being seated right away, I took a look at their menu which had several different dishes stemming from Chinese cuisine to Thai cuisine to Burmese cuisine. For an appetizer I started with the roti prata. This was a great start to the meal. The roti itself was extremely flaky and dipping it in it's paired sauce was the perfect match. It's rich without feeling heavy. For the main entrees I tried the pad thai and the basil fish filet. The pad thai here is a pretty big portion and it comes with seafood, chicken, and tofu. This is a nice change-up compared to most Thai restaurants where you are asked to choose one protein. This one had it all and the chicken was tender (surprise! no dryness here!). It was a bit on the saucier side with a sauce that tasted a bit more ketchup like, but overall it wasn't bad. The basil fish filet was a delight. Plenty of pieces of vegetables accompanied the fish which was breaded but soft. Everything is tossed in a sweetish/sourish sauce and overall each component seemed to compliment each other. The service was friendly and quick. The ladies here were pleasant to speak with. The only note I had was that they use these plates (with different flower designs on each one) but they seem a bit old and not as clean as I would have preferred. Overall, it's a good place to grab a bite to eat and I would come back to try more things. read more

Cute, casual spot for good Asian food. I ordered the mixed vegetable with tofu, the chicken banana, and of course the chicken mango. Sooo good. The banana is on the sweet side though so be aware. Mango was pretty balanced, so not as sweet. I'll definitely be back. I'm already craving the veg with tofu. Lol. Sauce was perfect on it. Glad to know it's with in reach. Friendly servers too. Keep it up Sweet Mango. read more

Sweet Mango - Chicken banana, chicken mango, and mixed vegetable with tofu. Along w/ a Thai iced tea and a Budlight. - Burmese Near Me - San Jose, California

A tasty Thai-Burmese restaurant that's serves up great food in a cute restaurant. We stopped by on Christmas Day for a casual dinner and, though it was bustling, we got seated fairly quickly! The staff is super friendly and there seem to a fair amount of the regulars (which is always a plus)! I got a Singha beer, pineapple fried rice, and fried banana to share! The fried rice was served up in a halved pineapple and SO good -- it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and also super filling. The fried banana was a treat as well -- it wasn't wrapped in a wonton wrapper (like I've come to expect) but rather breaded. I really loved it, especially with the mango ice cream. Overall, nice servers, really tasty food, and a great experience -- even on the busiest of holidays. read more

Such great service and food! I can't rave enough about this place. My friend and I came in on a Saturday for dinner, and they didn't have many people dining in at the time. (Plenty of takeout orders and dine-in customers trickled in soon enough!) Their menu is so extensive and offers a diverse array of Asian cuisine. We opted for the Potato Curry and the Pumpkin Chicken Curry. The staff was SO nice and helpful in advising us on which dishes might pair well together. The portions were generous and the curries so creamy and flavorful. Definitely would love to come back! read more

We love Sweet Mango! Great local spot - always fantastic service and an awesome mix of Thai, Chinese, and some Burmese dishes to explore. It's rare that you experience a restaurant that is genuinely happy to host you and remembers you from previous visits. Fun to explore the menu and you can always ask for exclusions or additions to any dish. read more

I found this place on Door Dash during the pandemic. So good! I've tried several dishes / lunch specials and enjoyed them. My absolute favorite items and my go-to for lunch delivered via door dash is their Mango Salad and their Chicken Noodle Coconut Curry Soup. My goodness I am obsessed with these two items. Highly recommend! And they package their to-go items very well. You really can't go wrong with this place! read more

Ordered take out this week and it was a really sad sad meal. The pad see ew noodles weren't broken apart so there were several one inch thick unseasoned monstrosities. The satay chicken was over cooked and tough and the amount of sauce was really small. The generals chicken was the only dish that did not disappoint. We will not be returning. read more

Sweet Mango is our favorite Willow Glen Chinese restaurant. The service is excellent and friendly and the food really good.

So happy to find this great Chinese place in San Jose! I liked everything about it. Food was delicious and the portions were big, prices reasonable, interior stylish and even elegant. But what is the most rare in all middle class restaurants - the service - it was top notch! The servers were very dedicated and knowledgeable, plus they were wearing the uniform(!) Feel myself really welcome guest here. As for food can definitely recommend chicken with eggplant in garlic sauce. Flavorful and tender with right level of spice. read more

We visit this place very frequently and all I can say is that... this place is worth visiting! First of all, the food. Our favorite is pad Thai and red curry chicken. It's really the best. Secondly, the service. Such friendly staff create such a positive atmosphere. It's the best, and I really recommend! read more

Great food and place. We order often from here and really love their noodles. Definitely an option. to consider if looking for thai food.

Everything was spectacular. Service was sincere, the facility was real. But the biggest impression was the food! We ordered 7 dishes from all over the menu, not one item disappointed. The meat was juicy in every dish, but perhaps the favorite was the 5 spice popcorn chicken appetizer. Honestly the meals were flavorful but not overpowering. For your entertainment, here quotes from our meal: "You're life is miserable, you don't know it yet cause you haven't eaten this food." "How do we go back home without this place?" "You know the food is good when you spend the whole 30 minutes eating on the topic of how good the food is." "I'm gonna cry, this is so good. How?" "Can I just drink this sauce?" "If we could do six stars, let's do six" read more

Sweet Mango - Burmese Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here for dinner a few weeks ago with a party of four. Despite the crowd, we were seated less than 5 minutes afterwards. I ordered pad Thai as a safety blanket because it was my first time trying this place and I wanted to be on the safe side. Wrong. Even for pad Thai, it was subpar and average. Too sweet and not spicy. There aren't any adjustments to the spice level so the dish is below mild by default. I asked for chili flakes for my pad Thai but they said they didn't have it, which is pretty abnormal since dried chili flakes are essential to the dish or at least for the majority of otherThai restaurants. Instead they offered me chili sauce, the same kind I put in fish sauce. It's not terrible but with the saucy pad Thai, it was overbearingly "liquid" like.... The service was questionable, maybe because it was a busy day. Our waitress sorta treated us like we didn't know what we were doing and had a subtle, condescending tone when we asked what a particular dish was when ordering. I'm usually not nit picky about service since I'm just here for food but this experience threw me off lol The Thai tea is why I added a third star because damn was it good. Not concentrated and didn't taste like it's from the can like some places. Probably equivalent to boba places I've been too haha read more

Amazing food and ambience! Wonderful service as well. Vegetarian friendly, definitely going back there.

We visited Sweet Mango every other week. The entire family love the food here (cumin lamb, pineapple fried rice, basil tofu etc.) The staff are super friendly and heartwarming. They remember every family member's name and our favorite dishes. read more

Fresh and light food with quick and welcoming staff! Walked in to get some early dinner before a movie. The vibe and the service was very welcoming, and they were especially quick when taking our order and getting the food out. I think we waited maybe 10 minutes for our food to come out, I really impressed. The ingredients for all three of our ordered dishes all tasted fresh and light. Honey walnut dishes in general tend to be heavy to the point of being too much, but this one was so good. I also thought the presentation of the pineapple fried rice, in a fresh pineapple, was also really cool to see. It's also pretty interesting how this place is a blend of three different types of food, so I'm interested and trying some of the other options later too. read more

They have really, really good food. Not too fancy though. We really like the staff here. They are friendly and helpful. I think that it could be more fancy and improve their atmosphere but the food makes up for the atmosphere and decor. Once you try it you will like it. read more

Rachel is so nice and kind and totally focused on a favorable customer experience--as she continues the great legacy of Cindy in owning and managing Sweet Mango in Willow Glen. And, it's our pleasure in continuing to support Sweet Mango. Their food continues to be so delicious--a fusion of Chinese, Taiwanese and Burmese flavors. The BEST. Food is always fresh, piping hot and really flavorful. Some of our favorites include the Singapore Style Noodles, Cumin Beef, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, King Pow Chicken--and their soups are outstanding. Go and enjoy. You'll experience a very nice meal with good people! read more

Burmese fish chowder and walnut prawns were delicious! Service was fast and friendly!

In A Nutshell: -Sweet Mango located in Willow Glen has been serving mouth-watering Burmese/Chinese comfortfood for years! -Everything on their menu is perfect. -Their food, even in take-out form tastes great. -I suggest ordering their famous Tea Leaf Salad, Pineapple Fried Rice, Tom Yum Soup, Eggplant/Basil, Mango Chicken & Roti Prata. -They also have "sweet" customer service! Overall, this is a gem if you want your tongue to salivate & have a delicious time. read more

Came here with a friend on a Wednesday night. We found this place on Yelp because we were craving Asian food. All I can say is WOW. Excellent service, super nice staff, and the food was amazing. We ordered the following dishes: Pad Thai: Probably one of my most favorite pad thai dishes I have ever had. It was SO flavorful. We decided to get both chicken and shrimp. The dish included chicken, shrimp, peanuts, eggs, bean sprout, fish sauce, and tofu. Mango chicken: Definitely my favorite item here. The chicken and veggies are cooked in a garlic sauce which is amazing! This dish was very flavorful, I would definitely recommend getting this. Pineapple fried rice: This item comes with shrimp. However, if you are vegetarian, you can ask to have it without shrimp. We decided to get this item without raisins and I think we made the right decision because the dish was so good without the raisins. There are tiny pieces of pineapple in the rice which adds a nice sweet taste. Mango sticky rice: This was my first time ever having mango sticky rice and it has now become one of my favorite desserts ever. The rice was nice and warm. With the addition of the mango, it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Parking can be difficult if you come at a busy time because they do have a small parking lot. However, I am so glad I found this place, they have plenty of vegetarian options if you are vegetarian and they are very flexible about making substitutions in dishes. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to try Burmese/Thai food. I will definitely be returning. read more

DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER! We have finally found our go-to takeout place in the South Bay - SWEET MANGO! We were deciding one night if we wanted Thai or Chinese food and guess what? We lucked out on finding Sweet Mango, because they have BOTH (along with Burmese!). Since outdoor dining is currently closed, we did take out and ordered: Eggplant in Garlic Sauce - highly recommend, perfect by itself or on top of rice Beef Chow Fun - The beef was flavorful and noodles were thick and chewy (in the best way!) Tea Leaf Salad - I always order Tea Leaf Salad whenever I visit a Burmese spot, and this was great! However, I don't recommend it for takeout especially if you don't think you'll finish it right away. This salad doesn't keep well. Sweet Mango also has the sweetest staff! The woman who I spoke to on the phone and picked up the food from was conversational and so kind! Thank you Sweet Mango for the delicious food, so glad we found our new spot! read more

Good alternative Chinese takeout. Although Sweet Mango advertises as Thai, Burmese, and Chinese cuisines (and they certainly offer all the typical dishes from these regions) but the taste definitely lean Chinese. Thai curry (red, green), Pad Kee Mao are not that authentic. I think the only Burmese or Burmese influenced dish is Pumpkin Chicken, which is good but didn't blow me away. If I want Burmese or Thai food I'd takeout from other places that specialize in those cuisines. But as with any family when it comes to takeout decisions, sometimes we all want different things, this would be a good place for compromise. Takeout portion is good. If you have special instruction (e.g. not spicy) better call to place order than using Yelp/Grubhub, I left instructions for two of my orders and they were all ignored. read more

I had lunch here and I absolutely loved it. Thai food is my weakness. I ordered Pad See Ew and my cousins ordered Pad Thai. The Pad See Ew was right on the flavor and texture of the noodles were just right. I appreciated that it wasn't too salty as sometimes Thai food can get overwhelming with the salt and flavor. I also ordered the Thai Iced Tea and it tasted great, not too sweet or bland. I recommend going here for lunch! read more

Great food and service ! Best Thai food. We always go back and order from sweet mango because of the flavors and good quality food.

Came to Sweet Mango with four friends and everyone ordered something different. Ordering dishes to share gives everyone at the table a variety of tastes and colors to enjoy.

The food was so delicious and I would highly recommend this eatery to all. read more

Not sure what happened. We have not been here in over 2 years, the last time we came the tastes were fresh, natural and flavorful. Now the food has overwhelming flavors and no unique fresh taste. Had the pad kee mao with shrimp, absolutely no taste. Went on to the basil shrimp, this was the worst basil shrimp of my experience. I don't know what happened, as the thai food was really good here once. Maybe we got them on a bad day. read more

I was really looking forward to this place because I saw a lot of good reviews but unfortunately they fell short of what I was expecting. I ordered some dishes with a friend and here is what we got 1) Pineapple fried rice -We had some modifications and they followed through so one star for that -There was literally no pineapple despite saying pineapple fried rice -Only 5 pieces of shrimp -The rice was really dry and had no flavor -Decent sized portion but had no taste and no shrimp :( -This was p greasy 2) Pad See Ew Combination -The noodles were fine but I felt like it was under seasoned -Much like the last dish, this was said to have broccoli, but there was maybe 4 pieces of it. -Super greasy and there was oil all over the box and napkins I really love supporting small and local businesses but this one unfortunately didn't come out as expected. read more

The house Pad See Ew is our comfort food. We also love the roti. Really warm and kind people.

Limited parking available, but you can street park just a short walk down the road. Came here with some friends to grab dinner. Around 7pm, the restaurant is relatively full, but not too the point of being packed or uncomfortable. Tom Kha Soup with Seafood || $13.95 Mild coconut soup with Thai chili paste, lemongrass, zucchini, baby corn, mushrooms, carrots, and mixed seafood. The soup itself has a creamy mouthfeel with just a bite from the Thai spices. I enjoyed this appetizer. Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet || $13.95 Perfectly crisp fish fillets coated with a tangy sweet & sour sauce. The fillets come paired with sauteed onions, pineapples, and green bell peppers. Pad Thai with Chicken || $11.95 A solid classic. Sweet Mango does a great job with their pad thai. The noodles have a nice chew without being too soft or overcooked. They mix in the beansprouts and scrambled eggs, but the crushed peanuts are put on the side. The sauce isn't as tangy or tropical, so I doubt that real tamarinds are used. I also would have preferred more bean sprouts to add more of a crunch balance, but overall this was a well-prepared dish. read more

I was craving pad see ew, and this spot was close by. It hit the spot, I got it with beef and the beef was so flavorful! I like how the egg in that dish is nice and fluffy too. The 5-spice chicken flavor was good, but it's not the best dish to enjoy as takeout. The box is taped shut and the steam made the chicken soggy. Mango sticky rice is also delicious! I thought I got skimped on the mangoes, they're such tiny pieces! But I looked at previous pics of people enjoying it inside the restaurant and the portion looks the same. I just think the rice to mango ratio is off, or maybe I just prefer more mango :) read more
