Really love this place and their place in Harrods (I think it is the same place?) Yummy food, went with a big group of friends, and I don't usually like food that's too spicy! Lots of fruity flavours and good service would recommend :) read more

Surprisingly busy around nine-thirty on a Sunday, however the staff tried their hardest to run a tight shift, some waiting but we were eventually seated and the service was great. Being a student initially I thought it was quite expensive, however once we'd all ordered the portions and pricing were reasonable, the food was lovely. Although one of my friends did get food poisoning and I'm not quite sure of what they ordered sorry. My experience here was decent, but I'm not asking to go back. read more

The Mango Tree - Mango Tree - Thai Near Me - London, XGL

I ate here during my few day stay in the UK , actual date was 7/17/12. The place was nice, busy crowded, seemed like a ton of dates happening at once.. Chose to eat here as it was right behind Buckingham Palace. Food was average, service, ehh, could have been better (perhaps if the staff moved a little!). Drinks was great. People obviously go for ambiance.. read more

I have been to Mango Tree for a corporate event, so the entire venue was booked and the menu was pre set. The food is okay, not the best thai in town but not bad at all, wine was good and the service was prompt and polite. However, it didn't impress me and I had the impression that it is an expensive place. read more

Wow, now that was good Thai Food! It had that taste that you always think you must find in asia, this hint of a dry green curry in the backyard of your tung - delicious! And a very stylish Restaurant! And the staff so attentive! And at the end we asked for Mango sticky rice for dessert - man, that was delicious as well. I can't say much about the prices, we had a business meal, but I must say everything at this place was very nice. Just the dining room itself was a bit too open for my taste, but that's just me.. read more

Not really sure what to make of Mango Tree. It is pretty spendy to say the least, and at close to £10 a cocktail don't plan on getting drunk over dinner unless you have much deeper pockets than me. Given the cost of these drinks you'd expect they would attempt to ram them down your throat, but actually the service is pretty inadequate and I had to ask to be served a couple of times. The food is a bit more reasonably priced, but not spectacular, and combined with a so so atmosphere I think there are much better options in London. However, depending on what kind of deal you can find on toptable, it might be worth checking out. read more

I have visited 'The Mango Tree' on two occasions. My first experience was better than my second. Based on the second, I wouldn't go again. Food: The food is in general good. I think though it all depends on what you get. The first time I went we ordered loads of starters and I they were good. The second time I went for main dishes too. The chicken for one was didn't taste great and I ended up eating just the vgetables. Service: The service was quite good the first time I went (late dinner). The second time (early dinner/ late lunch), there were a lot of trainees. We had a menu in for quite some time and kept on trying to get our waiters attention for 15 mins. I felt like were were forgotten! Price: This place is pricey. The portions are small. This isn't a place where you get value for money. If you go for an early lunch, then there is a 'discounted' menu which makes it more worth it. Ambience: The staff in general is helpful and polite. The decor is okay but nothing to write home about. read more

The very funky, the extremely busy and the popular Mango Tree fully deserves its reputation as a favourite of many diners. Even though we changed our booking time a number of times we were pleased that when we arrived at the restaurant, despite the obvious number of people sitting around waiting for tables, that we were immediately seated. It was very clear that the waiters were under a lot of pressure to clear the tables as quickly as possible if the fact we were asked about 3 times in the first 10 minutes whether we were ready to order was any indication. Finally those around us got the hint and left us alone until we signalled the waiter for attention. The menu at Mango Tree is extensive (both drinks and food) and, aside from the fact we were busy chatting and catching up, just working out way through the menu took us quite some time (food came very quickly once we did order though.) Mango Tree was a very pleasant experience. Service, apart from the sort of rushed start, was fantastic and friendly. Food was top notch and cocktails, including a nice array of non-alcoholic ones, were very tasty. The only drawback was the price -the £15.50 a curry without rice gives you an indication - quite highly-priced for Thai food. You can capitalise on deals though top table though which give you 50% which brings the price back to something a bit more value for money. read more

Mango Tree is a high end restaurant offering a great variety of top quality Thai food. The place immediately strikes the visitor with its grand interior, with modern furnishing, high ceilings and large windows with views onto the Grosvernor Place outside. The layout of the dining area is open and spacious and while it's bustling with customers, the tables are places at a good distance from one another. Most dishes are prepared well, with a modern luxury take on traditional Thai food. I particularly enjoy the hot and sour soup, spicy chicken salad wrap and the green curry dishes. By what I can judge, grilled and stir fry dishes, of which there is a plentiful choice, are pretty good as well. The service is also brilliant, with many professional staff happy to assist any minute, which certainly enhances the dinning experience. But quality of course comes at a price and Mango Tree is quiet expensive. The bill adds to about £100 per person for the full dinner including drinks. Given the high class atmosphere and great quality food, I think it's well justified by London standards though. read more

OK to good food + variable service + moderate proportions + high prices + nice ambiance = Mango Tree. Mango Tree just barely escapes with three stars but it is really a 2.7. For value shoppers out there, this is not the place to go. I have eaten similar quality Thai food at dozens of establishments in the western world for roughly 1/4th the price. After three visits I can say the currys are quite good (though small), and the noodle or stir fry dishes are nothing special. No matter what I order though I will always think the same thought, "did I really just pay 20 pounds for that". 3/4ths of the price goes to the ambiance, and 1/4th the food. read more

Dinner The jasmine tea didn't have an aroma. Pad Thai was horrible. I prefer them adding lots of coconuts, peanuts with thinner noodle. How possibly could go wrong? In this case I should have ordered deli who is cheaper but can cook much better manner. Tom yum needs more lime juice? read more

Mango Tree is a large, Asian style restaurant near Victoria train station. It offers modern, fusion style food with lots of variety and choice. Wait staff are efficient, however you do sometimes get the feeling that the place is slightly chaotic beneath the polished veneer and nice decor. The main reason to come back is the food is reasonably good quality food and authentic, for a good price in central London. And, if you book by Toptable you can get discounts or points. read more

As far as Thai restaurant fine dining goes, the Mango Tree is about as good as it gets. I wouldn't quite consider us regulars but, if we have some spare cash and happen to be in London, then this is one of the places that we invariably end up at time and again. The dining room is clean and modern, seating comfortable and tables not packed too closely. The food itself offers some normal Thai food together with more elegant dishes. All of it, though, cooked to absolute perfection. The staff are all extremely friendly and attentive and will go to great lengths to ensure that every aspect of your night out is as perfect as the food you are eating. My only warning though, is that your local Thai restaurant will seem very second rate after you have eaten here. read more

I want to like The Mango Tree - I really really do. After all, numerous people flock here, so THEY obviously like the food. But this must be my worst restaurant review thus far (and trust me, no matter how bad the food is, I usually try to give sympathy points). However, having given this restaurant 2 chances to convert my Nays to Ayes, I'm finally ready to throw in the towel. My latest visit (28/06/09) was a near disaster. We ordered 2 starters - Chicken Satay and Thai Fish Cakes. I KNOW my satays - having grown up a steady diet of these grilled kebabs. They almost always grace the table each time I visit a Singapore/Malaysian/Thai restaurant. When I took the first bite of satay from Mango Tree, my first thought was.. hmm, this tastes a bit 'off/odd' - something wasn't quite right. And my goodness, it arrived lukewarm, an almost unpardonable sin for this BBQ/Grilled meat item. But then I dismissed it as.. every restaurant does it differently, and besides.. my dinner companion and myself were famished. We tucked in with gusto annihilating 2 sticks of satay within minutes. We decided to split the 3rd stick - that was when I paid more attention to cutting up the meat. To my horror, I realised the meat was completely pink inside - totally RAW!! No wonder it 'tasted funny'!! Now, I like my Sashimi, but I don't rate chicken meat very high on the raw scale. I showed my discovery to a horrified waiter who promptly whisked the offending plate away. He promised to 'replace' it with another satay dish - this time, properly grilled. We didn't have to wait too long - the dish arrived within 10 minutes, this time piping hot, and properly cooked within. But the damage had been done - you cannot create a 1st impression a 2nd time. That said, I've actually had satay at Mango Tree the 1st time I was there. I don't quite recall the experience (forgettable), but it probably didn't taste too awful either. It was passable, but not great. The thai fish cakes, on the other hand, were rather tasty (and served hot!). Perhaps, it was a mite on the tough side (very chewy), but it was perfectly acceptable. For the main course, I had ordered the Green Curry Chicken Udon - which turned out surprisingly tasty. The curry is a little thicker than some Thai restaurants, thus creating a stew-like gravy backdrop for the udon noodles, but it worked well. My only complaint is that there were only 4 small bite-size chunks of chicken in the rather miserly bowl of udon noodles (very small portion). The grilled vegetables within tasted a little raw, but I'm trying to dismiss that as part of the 'unique cooking style' for this dish. I can't possibly be THAT unlucky 2 times in a row!! If you're planning to try the Green Curry Chicken Udon noodles, do make sure you order a starter, or maybe even another main course - you're likely to feel hungry still, if you think you can get away with just the main course. Big portions aren't Mango Tree's strongest points (apparently, grilled meats aren't, either). Having given such a harsh review so far, I am hoping to tone down and give a more positive note to the other main course, the Stir-Fry Chicken with Cashew Nuts. However, I'd be lying if I called that dish tasty - Thai restaurants pride themselves for strong and tasty flavours. This chicken stir-fry was so bland (too little gravy as well) that I had to spice things up a bit by adding the green curry gravy to it, so as to add a little 'flavour', something I loathe to do, since it would affect the actual taste of the food. But there was just no taste to the chicken with cashew nuts! Finally something I can recommend from this restaurant. The desserts - we ordered their homemade ice cream (3 different scoops), which turned out fairly original. I especially liked mixing the ice cream with a bit of the sticky rice at the bottom of the bowl (yummy). The pandan flavoured scoop was probably the nicest.. and I can't quite decide if I like the chocolate with lemongrass still, I suppose the pink scoop (I can only guess it might be raspberry)is the most conventional of all, but probably the most boring. I liked the other 2 flavours better, since they're more exciting. The lychee cheesecake was nice, but a little soggy. Having made cheesecakes myself, I'm a little taken aback by the sogginess of this particular cheesecake, but I suppose, if you've survived all the previous courses, a little soggy cheesecake wouldn't horrify you too much. It's amazing - I went to Mango Tree with NO EXPECTATIONS this time round, because I'd been let down on my last trip. And yet, it's completely miraculous how they've managed to lower the bar to a level where no other restaurant has gone. If I seem unreasonably harsh, that is because.. this is an establishment which has made a name for itself for serving 'good food'. People actually go there to eat (it was packed on a Sunday evening!) and they have regulars! The restaurant has a read more

Very good service overall, had the Tom Yum soup with Prawn, but I honestly can't believe that I just paid £7 for this little bowl of soup though... normally most place, you can get a pot for that price. The panang curry was a OK, not bad but not outstanding either. The stir fried basil dish was pretty good, but again, not really worth the price. And I was really surprised that they actually charge you for rice per bowl... £3 per serving ?!?!? seriously ?! I never came across a Thai restaurant in US or in Asia that charge for the rice. Is this a UK thing or is this just the restaurant? The service was ok, our waitress was kinda robotic ... didn't show any interest of serving the customer... but again, it seems that is the case in UK in general. Overall good ambient but again overpriced ... averaging £35 per head for a soup and an entree .... not really worth it. read more

Pics@Chopstix2Steaknives http://chopstix2steaknives.blogspot.com/2011/12/thai-memories-at-rosas-spitalfields.html A group of us met up and walked in around lunch time and we found ourselves to be the only diners there. Now, Mango Tree is really huge with numerous tables and when you find yourselves to be the only table there in such a vast space, it does lend an uncomfortable silence of you-can-hear-a-pin-drop vibe to the place. In fact, we only saw one other occupied table throughout our meal there. After our lunch, all I can say is that the whole meal was quite forgettable and I wasn't blown away by any of the dishes. read more

Mediocre Thai food that is overpriced. Pad Thai was bland. Service was friendly but very slow.

My husband and I had dinner here tonight on recommendation by the concierge at our hotel. Food was average. Nothing to write home about. Service was poor. We asked for a refill on our prawn chips and they didn't bring it until we were finished with our meal. It was also a slow night for them so no excuse as to why it took them so long to deliver our appetizers, and finally our main entrees. However...they were quick to ask us if we wanted more bottled water. Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of having to pay nearly $5 (around $6 us) for a bottle of water that only filled two half glasses. We ordered the sampler appetizer plate for two, a prawn papaya salad, a single order of prawn Tom yum soup, a seafood stir fry, and a chicken pad Thai...bill came out to $94 (us $118). They tried to include a service charge of 12.5% on top of that cost too and there was only two of us, and our sleeping baby in her stroller. RIDICULOUS!! All I can say is that I've had better takeout Thai food from a random hole in the wall (I'm from Los Angeles where great Thai food is in abundance). If you are going to service charge two people, then I suggest you offer better service....or at the very least offer better portions for the prices you charge. Not worth the price...and not worth the time. I wish I actually had the chance to review the yelp ratings before we went to this place. read more

I had never really seen an upmarket Thai restaurant before I went to Mango Tree. I had always thought of little neighborhood Thai places with plastic tablecloths, sweaty cooks and fantastic cheap food. Mango Tree is different. It brings the romance of fine dining to the flavours of Thailand, right here in London. As soon as I walked in the door I could see that this was no neighborhood noodle place. The interior is immaculate, and the waiters numerous and impeccibly dressed. And the food. The food is incredible, the best curry I have eaten, and presented in a creative and colourful way. My only complaint? The prices. This place is not cheap, but here's the tip: Keep your eye out for special deals. Mango Tree seem to use special deals to keep the restaurant full, because without the common punters in there for a bargain slice of the high life, I think it would be pretty quiet mid week. Their website often advertises the deals on at the moment, and lastminute.com also has set meal deals most of the time. It's a winner, but only at the right price! read more

Mango Tree is a very elegant Thai restaurant set in Belgravia. It's decor is modern, sleek and refined. The food is excellent but pricey. The Thai Greencurry is one of the best I have ever had, whilst there is lots of option for non-meat eaters too. Whilst Mango Tree is expensive there are always special offers available for it. Plus tell them its your birthday and you get a free mini birthday cake :-) Highly recommended if you are looking to take someone who loves Thai out for a special treat. read more

Ooh The Mango Tree is a secret delight, this is as upmarket as it will get for Thai cuisine. It is very close to Victoria Station and corners the opposite end of Buckingham Palace! The Mango Tree is hidden on the edge of fancy office blocks, almost unnoticable unless you really know it's there. It is an exquisite dining location, very romantic and intimate with clean, modern and comfortable surroundings. The food we had was just great, It looked and tasted fantastic. However the prices were just a little on the higher end. I arranged for our Xmas Office party last year - we had an absolutely fantastic time, although it was a round table sit down, we were able to enjoy good quality food that everybody enjoyed. (Vegetarian colleagues) and then we were able to continue with drinks elsewhere. Use the Guardian Restaurant Reviews to book the meal and get 50% off.. read more

A group of us had a meal on Saturday night at the Mango Tree. BOOKING: We booked a table on-line. They called back to confirm the reservation and left a voice mail. The message was kind and helpful, bit in the last seconds of a 2 minute long voicemail was the line "...and finally if you could arrive at 18:30 so you don't have to wait". Grrr.... We contacted them several more times again and managed to confirm a table for 19:30 as originally requested. The Mango tree seem to have a slick if annoying booking procedure. Beware if you call; you'll have to battle your way through an automated answering machine for several minutes before speaking to a person. SERVICE: Embarrassingly after all of the difficulties securing a 19:30 table we arrived at 19:00! As one of our party was running late (or to time, technically!) we had drinks in the cocktail bar. Staff seemed very keen that we get into the restaurant, eat and leave as soon as possible. In a 20 minute period we were asked by four separate members of staff to come to our table as it was ready. Each time we explained that we were waiting for a friend and out table was booked for 19:30. I understand that they need people to eat and leave but they did make us feel very pressured and uncomfortable. During our meal service was good. Staff were attentive and present. Their was a big delay in the meal for one of our party (everyone had finished by the time his meal arrived), but staff were very apologetic which more than made up for the delay. DRINKS: The restaurant has a small cocktail bar offering a really good variety of cocktails. The drinks we chose were without exception great and pretty good value too. Wine selection was reasonable, however there were very few mid priced wines available (i.e. everything seemed to be sub £30 or £80+). FOOD: The menu was fairly extensive with lots of interesting sounding food. In reality the food we received was fairly pedestrian. I was really hoping to be impressed, but flavours were bland (which is quite a condemnation of Thai food). OVERALL: I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. The only reason I say that is because the food was not up to scratch. Really disappointing. For the price we paid we could of eaten at somewhere much much better. read more

My friend and I had a limited edition wine pairings menu which included 5 wines and 5 small dishes. Wines were matched up with a particular dish to enhance flavours. All the dishes were really flavoursome. They weren't mind blowing in my opinion, but my friend was really impressed. I especially enjoyed the spicy prawns. The wine pairings were great, a good selection of red and whites and a delicate desert wine, all matched well and were poured generously. Before the dessert pairing my friend decided she wanted to order some additional dishes so we ordered tempura soft shell crab and tempura lobster, I really enjoyed these. The crab was served in 3 pieces, I would have preferred the crab was left whole as I think it looks more impressive but I still enjoyed it nonetheless The dining room was very busy and service was surprisingly attentive considering the large amount of diners. I had a really fun evening, my friend did get a bit tipsy and to my amusement attempted to exit through the cloakroom. Overall a great experience, not mind blowing food but good and flavoursome with a buzzing atmosphere. read more

The two most recent reviews really do not do The Mango Tree justice, I think they're a bit too harsh. Our experience was a a solid 3.5, though alas I have to round down in this case. They provide 'good' Thai food, with an above average experience from the staff, though not quite enough to tip the scales. Pad Thai was on the spot and a solid performer. The Sea Bass was quite good actually, with fresh mango / chilis etc. in a lovely sauce. The Larb Gai was a bit heavy tasting for Thai food, though not unpleasant. For a nice finish to the meal we had a selection of their sorbet, with the highlight being the Lemograss version. Very good. read more

Went for Valentine's Day, the service was absolutely terrible and the "4 course" menu was far from high quality. For a starter we got basically potato chips and 4 mini rice crackers, for the next course chicken noodle soup that could've came from a can, the main course was below average at best. It was EXTREMELY overpriced. Will not be going back. read more

Don't waste your money go somewhere else. The food is bland at best, the staff are very sneaky with drinks, Our water bill was almost the same as our food bill. This seems to be a standard practice for them as reading yelp I found plenty of other people have through this experience too. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else. read more

I've been to the Mango Tree quite a few times. It's probably the best place to eat in Victoria (sort it out Victoria!). I'm a big fan of Thai food and I think their seasonal specials are what makes this a better than average Thai restaurant. The Thai green curry is good not amazing, similar to the Pad Thai. The starters are pretty average, but then Thai fish cakes and spring rolls are either good or not good in my book. They have some great cocktails and I think the waiting staff have always been fabulous. There's a nice bar on entry if you arrive early and they have some killer cocktails. Well worth a visit and pretty reasonably priced, it's just not mind blowing. read more

This is literally my favorite Thai restaurant in the world (and I've even been to a few very good ones in Thailand), it is actually the sister restaurant of the Mango Tree restaurant in Bangkok so everything is very authentic. The decor is sleek and modern. The place gets very crowded yet it still maintains a warm atmosphere and it does not get too loud making it very appropriate for business dinners. Service is friendly and very attentive, the wait staff is very knowledgeable on the food and wine list and very good at making recommendations based on your preferences. The Som Tum salad (papaya salad) is a very traditional Thai dish and always perfectly prepared. Everything is served family style so you can try a variety of dishes. Excellent wine list. It is quite popular so be sure to book reservations. read more

We enjoyed a delicious birthday meal with excellent starters and main dishes. The food was fruitful, full of spices, and beautifully prepared. The aesthetics of the restaurant created a mystic yet intimate environment which paralleled our meals extremely well. Pop, our server, provided renowned service and catered to our every need alongside special meal requests. He and his team were extremely polite and professional with every move. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area and it is worthy of even a greater rating. read more

The Mango Tree - Thai Near Me - London, XGL

Went here to eat on a trip to London. We were touring the city and we had seen this place on a Gordon Ramsey show, we noticed this place was close to where we were going to be so we decided to give it a try. We came in for lunch and they had just opened. They brought us complimentary prawn skins but we are vegetarians so we couldn't eat those. Our meal was very mediocre at best. We thought it would have been so much better and would have had a few better options for us but we were wrong. The place was nearly empty and they sat two loud and annoying business men directly next to us as if there were no other seats. The staff was helpful and pretty friendly. But this place has so much potential and we expected so much better but we were disappointed. read more

While shopping at Harrods, boyfriend and I stopped at Mango Tree for a quick lunch break. Mango Tree is asian fusion with an emphasis on dim sum that they say is made fresh daily by a Hong Kong dim sum master. I really liked the feeling of sitting at the "bar" of an open kitchen where we could watch the chef at work and our servers within arm's reach. While waiting for two seats to open up, the hostess took our order so that once we were sat, our food was ready and ready it was. Our servers were courteous and efficient We ordered the blooming jasmine flower tea served in a clear glass tea kettle for two. I found the tea quite tasty and LOVED the tea set and watching the flower bloom, so pretty. I asked if the tea set was available for purchase at Harrods and while the servicegirl admitted it was, she recommeded I check out an asian tea shop in chinatown as it would be much cheaper. Loved her for that! I started with the Prawn and Pork Wonton soup (8.50) which arrived three small dumplings in a small bowl in a clear broth. Although small, the soup was tasty nonetheless. We also ordered a few dim sum dishes since the dumplings were mostly served in threes. We ordered the prawn dim sum (7.95), Inside soup dumpling dim sum (19.50), and spare rib dumpling (7.50). Dumplings were yummy but with the pound kicking the dollars butt, our check total without tip amounted to 60something pounds or roughly $100something USD and I don't know about you but I can get a shitload of dim sum for the kind of money here in the states (holla Chinatown NYC or Arlington VA) and it probably tastes just as or even more delicious and authentic. But at least we can say we ate lunch at Harrods! Their food court and options sure beats any food court here in the states. read more

It's quite good quality Thai food here. Ordered the Pad Thai and it was substantially better than takeaway but at the level of Busaba and Thai Square. Opentable currently has a 50% off deal as well when you order a main and starter which makes this place pretty sweet at the moment. The Kor Moo Yang was surprisingly good as well as the Tom Ka Goong. read more

Two visits in the last year. Very average food for the price, slow service and staff did not know anything about the menu! Eg asked to suggest something mild led to a steaming hot chilli dish coming out! There are much better restaurants in london. read more

The bar and ambience of the restaurant was nice and of the standard that you would expect of a central London restaurant. The service was attentive. Despite having a separate vegetarian menu, I would argue that the selection was still fairly limited and the food distinctly average. This combined with a rather hefty bill will probably rule out any hasty return. read more

I have been to Mango Tree a few times already but this time was the last one-unfortunately! we booked the toptable offer (50% off) but were told that it excludes "chef special"-well, at least half of the dishes on the menu were chef special! food wasn't very tasty (meat stringy and with gristles-beef and chicken), service very rushed (we were told at the entrance to vacate the table latest two hours later-nice welcoming!), coke not chilled at all... sorry, never ever again, not even with 50% off read more

Went there with a toptable 50% off reservation. The food was possibly as good as Thai food can go and was quite delicious and quickly served. Their non-alcoholic cocktails were very expensive but tasty. On each table you would find some prawn crackers that I didn't like that much but I didn't like crackers that much in the first place. Highly recommended for the deep pocketed and for those who make the booking using toptable website. One word of caution though for those who do book through top table. the 50% offer is for many items in the menu but not all. All the good items marked as chef's special will have 25% discount instead. Prices for two courses of food without discount in around 25 30£ read more
