I came here exactly two years ago and the experience then was very much the same as the one this evening. Mango Tree is big, plush and possesses an air of a â¬Üflagshipâ¬" demeanour about it. The dining room is impressive, the table setting oozes class and the service; described elsewhere as over attentive, I find excellent, friendly and efficient.

I came here with a 50% off the total food bill offer on tow. This offer requires the diner to vacate the table by 8pm, to be fair they nag about this all the time, by both phone text and email. Itâ¬"s sad to read about other diners whinging about being hounded by the said time despite the stipulations.

The food unfortunately is nothing to write home about and this statement is justifiably supported by the lack of any Thai diners in the vast dining room. The best dish was the starter of Tom Yum Goong, it was fiery, wonderfully spicy and more king prawns found than your average Balti variety. The Larb Ped (Roast Duck Salad) was generous with the duck meat, but I found the inclusion of rocket totally at odds with the green onions, chilli and honey dressing. The Pla Gra Phong of Red Snapper wrapped in pandan leaves lacked absolute freshness and the aromatic fragrance of the latter was nowhere to be whiffed. The spicy hot Panang Nuer curry contained some well-cooked pieces of beef brisket but unfortunately bland tasting. The industry standard dish of Pad Thai Gai noodles was disappointing, it tasted overly sweet and for some reason a trifle rancid, the large pieces of chicken breast chucked in looked indiscreetly out of place in a dish like this. To be fair to Mango Tree, the portions and ingredients of the dishes were not compromised nor skimped for diners clutching the 50% offers. Do be warned that the drinks be it alcoholic or not, are suitably expensive.

The atmosphere here is great for business, romantic and big group meals. If you do intend to come here for the food, I think making an appearance is only valid if youâ¬"re not paying for the meal in its entirety and please do inform the philanthropist who is footing the bill to book online for the half price offer.

The food at Mango Tree is very very good, dont let anyone kid you that it isnt! However, you are paying the price for the food, it is relatively dear to other Thai restaurants so you have to balance that. On the downside, I felt the restaurant was a bit crowded.

As a vegetarian, I would highly recommend the pad thai jay and the veg green curry.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:43:33 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree642143070 expensive crowded thai 51.5003197 -0.1492634 Mango Tree - review by claireymr http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree

I have to admit, the food here was quite good, but when you look at the price, you realise you could be getting better food elsewhere. The portions were generous, especially the main courses, but like another reviewer, you're going to spend quite a bit on drinks, whether you go for a cocktail or just a soft drink. Dessert was definitely a highlight, with a rich chocolate pudding served with clotted cream. Not really thai, but it didn't matter.

My main gripe with this restaurant though, was the service. Waiters and waitresses were a little cold, but they are obviously told to smother you. I'm happy to give up having someone pour water from a bottle into my glass every two minutes if it means I can have an actual conversation with my friends.]]> Fri, 29 Aug 2008 10:11:06 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree425564567 thai 51.5003197 -0.1492634 Mango Tree - review by Cedric http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree

This is a great thai restaurant serving a very fine thai food. Of course it is a high end place with the prices that come along, but overall if you are after something more elaborate than a quick and dirty pad thai, then this is a great place to go. Service is top notch, even if it can be a bit busy, with a crowd of business people having a semi-casual night out. Interior design is on par with what you are expecting from a restaurant of this standard. Worth the trip to the Victoria area for a dinner.]]> Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:06:09 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree831252739 expensive business crowded thai 51.5003197 -0.1492634 Mango Tree - review by lenalouise http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree

Mango tree is perfectly acceptable but that's all it is. The restaurant IS pretty swish and the service is excellent but the food is missing that extra bit of wow factor which you sort of expect for the prices you are paying!

Probably won't go back unless it's someone else's treat! lol. I can find almost equally good thai at less than half the price.]]> Wed, 25 Jul 2007 19:46:03 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree677956907 romantic thai funky expensive friendly 51.5003197 -0.1492634 Mango Tree - review by galligirl http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree

Mango Tree is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants I have been to in London. The service is fantastic as is the presentation - this is definitely somewhere you could take an out-of-towner if you wanted to give a good impression of London.
Each table receives a bowl of complimentary prawn crackers to start off with (everyone loves freebees) and unlike in most London restaurants the waiters walk round with jugs of water so that one doesn't have to keep asking.
The prices range from 5-10 for a starter and 10-18 for a main and I must say that although, it is a bit pricey, it is definitely worth it. For starters we had crisp vege spring rolls and delicious satai chicken/lamb/beef. The satai sauce was so good that we ended up eating it with the prawn crackers. For main course we had the pineapple fried rice and duck. Drinks were on the expensive side and the barman didn't know what a frozen margherita was, despite the fact that it was on the menu, but aside from that it was a good experience. You get a warm cloth to finish off the meal and wipe off any remaining morsels.]]> Wed, 25 Jul 2007 14:17:19 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree1023642314 expensive business good value 51.5003197 -0.1492634 Mango Tree - review by inkognitoh http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree

The food is really tasty and glamorously prestented but lacking the kick and zing of traditional Thai recipes. The decore is a tad spartan and noise levels make intimate conversation impossible but the vibe is good if you are looking for something slightly poseurish and upbeat.

The drink prices though? Man alive, I'd rather die of thirst :)]]> Wed, 18 Jul 2007 12:35:39 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree1177729293 restaurant expensive drinks pretentious thai high ceilings expensive trendy 51.5003197 -0.1492634 Mango Tree - review by RenZephyr http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree

Best place to go in the area if your train home has been delayed by, like, forever - which is not that uncommon. It's a bit pretentious, by that I mean that the food does not quite live up to the setting, but that's just because the setting is so wonderful.]]> Sun, 08 Jul 2007 13:26:36 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree469308689 51.5003197 -0.1492634 Mango Tree - review by Pauline http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1f06g64/mango-tree

My boyfriend and I could not have picked a more perfect restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. The food and ambience was fantastic.

Food is really authentic Thai and consistently good. Service was very friendly.

Definately going back there again!

All i can say is the food is good, (a bit of organic this and that) the atmosphere pleasant. The service is good and attentive. But maybe its just me, but is thai food getting a bit boring...i've tried a variety of dishes and there just ain't no wow with this food for me anymore.
