Mango Thai...

i used to love love LOVE mango thai... stilll they gave me food poisoning on new year's eve. no more.

i almost made it to the new thai place . but my friend was too tired and we end up at rice instead. we walked all the walk from grand army plaza .

i went to mango tonight. its pretty good.

I second that on SEA. They care more about the house/club decor than they do about the food. It's more for being "seen" than it is having a good meal.

they're revised their menu
last night i had the grilled salmon salad
which is amazingly good and goes for $9

recommend it!

I ordered Mango for lunch today, and I was disappointed, as I have been every time I've ordered from them. I got the tulip dumplings and Pad Thai, both of which were pretty bland.

the only things I've gotten from mango thai that I've enjoyed are their tom yum soup and their drunken noodle. also, the beef salad is really good. otherwise I've been totally disappointed.

What 's going on in the kitchen of Mango Thai Fusion on 7th Avenue?

As a devoted regular, I swear that the last few weeks the quality and amount of food I've ordered at Mango has been far less flavorful and as plentiful as it has been the previous 100 times I've eaten it. It seems Mango Thai Fusion's chef has toned down the spices and reduced the amount of vegetables, tofu, meat, fish, etc. of various menu items. I tolerated the recent price hikes, but cannot tolerate a bad meal.

I pray that Mango Thai Fusion's regular cook is on a vacation and has been temporarily replaced by a lousy substitute chef. Otherwise, I must convert to Watana.

on 7th ave. I believe it is between 13-14th or 14th-15th. So, if you are
up for walking to the south slope you may want to give it a try. I
wish I could remember the name but at the moment, I can't think
of it.

if you remember the name let me know. i would love to try a new place .

Watana is the best. Still BYOB, so grab a bottle of wine at one of the many wine stores nearby and enjoy!

Beet is Yuk.

Rice Thai is Yuk.

How do Song and Long Tan compare?

they're both fine, not wildly authentic but perfectly pleasant dinner options

Song's really loud with a dj and funky acoustics; they do take out.
we get the salads that have sliced pork or beef. I don't have a favorite of their various okay curries - any recommendations?

Jungle curry at Long Tan is yummy if you like spicy hot, and they make good cocktails. the bento box is also fab - the spicy beef salad in particular
