Since 1980, the Green Mango has been bringing Torontonians the Best Thai cuisine. From its conception in a small Toronto alley to the present four locations, the Green Mango has not lost its belief... that each customer is part of our family and they deserve the BEST.
This is a big disappointment. Would have preferred to keep my money in my pocket. My wife and I compared the Green Mango to airport food. Service is mediocre, the place had no ambiance (bright lights) and the food is inauthentic and bland. The place is a little run down too.
Walking in, you'll notice no shakers of sugar, peppers, or peanuts. This is not a good sign for a Thai Restaurant.
It's dangerous to go alone - it's best to order two dishes, just to make sure you have some sort of flavours to switch back and forth with. While, not terrible, the food is bland, and without any sort of flair.
If you just want noodles, then you will be alright - but if you want...

Meh. The food was not authentic thai food, I can tell you that. Over-priced and generally lacking flavour. Not a fan. Wouldn't recommend this.
Awesome Pad Thai, & the Won ton soup is fantastic. Takeout is super fast.
Man, I so wanted to like this place. Again, when you walk into a restaurant and you are the only customer, I really should turn around.
This is my 4th visit here each time thinking it was a fluke.
Today's order was chicken satay. Chicken was rubbery. Peanut sauce was right out of fridge and cold.
Also ordered spicy egg noodles with gingered duck. Noodles were not by any stretch of the...

I'm giving this restaurant a 2-Star as I was highly disappointed with the service, not necessarily the food. It would have gained one more star if the service wasn't so poor, but I think the poor service is attributed to one server, one experience.
I've been here twice in the restaurant, and stepped foot in it once and quickly turned around - more on that later.
I found that the small plates...

The restaurant has a decent price point and fairly extensive menu. The atmosphere is something like an up-scale cafeteria, boasting fairly nice furnishings and decor, but little or no privacy / intimacy. Not really the place for a date if that's what you're looking for.
The service was a bit slow and aloof, doing little other than take our order, deliver our food, and receive payment.
The...

Well, let's be honest with you guys : I live in High Park and this is the closest place where I can eat Pho without taking the subway or bus.
About the service : what's wrong with thewaitress if I am going alone to the restaurant : I just wanna have my bowl of Pho that's it !!!
No smiles, cold people, just saying "hi", "what do you want", "thank you".
Hohoho what a nice welcome :)

Chicken spring rolls were pretty damn good. They had a nice flavour and were super hot and crispy.
I had the basil chicken and I had asked for it spicy but it wasn't hot or flavourful enough for me. Mine was just too saucy, maybe some people really like it like that but my friend had the basil beef and hers wasn't as gooey.
It was too expensive for mediocre food.
Meh.
For some reason the Green Mango in The Kingsway Village is way better.
Still greasy, and overpriced. Simply Thai is a better choice.
This is a pretty good thai place with a modern decor and nice ambience overall.
The big problem is competition: Green Mango is a bit too pricey for what it offers, specially considering the variety of thai places in Toronto. There's really nothing to set it apart from most cheaper alternatives (The Friendly Thai, I'm looking at you).
The prices were very high for low-quality food in small portions. Pho was ok, broth was pretty tasty, but not much chicken, noodles or toppings with it. The green mango salad just sour with little flavour and was double the price I would normally pay!
I've always been a big fan of this place for a quick, inexpensive thai meal. My last visit was great from a food stand-point, but the service was so terrible that it has soured my opinion on the restaurant as a whole. Our negative experience culminated with our waiter bringing our cheque 30 minutes after we were finished eating, and then shrugging when we said that we had wanted to order... more
Excellent decor and service for Bloor West Village. Friendly and focused waiters. I have been eating here since they opened and I have always enjoyed it. Well priced entrees, and wines. Small patio in the front, large zen style dining room. Some dishes in my humble opinion are better than others. The shrimp satay appetizers with mango or cucumber salad are superb.
Definitely see how a Neighbourhood cab change the prices of the EXACT SAME FOOD as downtown on Yonge St avec higher prices. Is that because it's "Bloir West"? It really IS The exact same chicken. Interesting. Nice environment but not worth the seemingly extra prices.
This is one of those instances where I wish I'd checked yelp before stopping in for lunch.
It's quarter to one on a Monday afternoon. The place looks nice and quiet with only one other couple inside, so we thought it would be a perfect place to stop by for a quick bite before heading on a walk. The boy ordered the golden chicken curry and I ordered the impressive sounding Dark Prince Salad, as...

The service was pretty quick for a small group of 3. And the food was really really good!!
Try it sometime if you like Thai food and you have the chance.
Good food, but a bit pricey. You kind of pay for the modernish look. I ordered a pumpkin soup and a shrimp dish. I don't think the size of the plates were too small, served the two of us perfectly. But I really think that almost $15 for a shrimp plate is a bit high.
I don't think they serve as good as their prices think - I was best served in a lower-priced spadina thai restaurant - and they...

I've eaten here three times. Once for lunch, once for dinner and once a friend brought me over some takeout. All food experiences were similar. Nothing special... The portions are good for me - I eat very little. But for anyone with a healthier appetite will probably go home and have a box of KD. The service was fine, the servers could probably use a bit more training on being more polite. I... more
I came here for dinner by myself and I order the mango chicken and it was exactly what I expected (which is never much these days). Good enough but nothing special. It was plenty of food for me...I couldn't finish it all. The service was very friendly and quick, though I didn't ask anything special of them. Overall it was a pretty average experience at a nice looking but average taste and... more
Green Mango is a Thai restaurant with a sleek and modern decor. The food quality and service are very good without a doubt. The only reason i am not coming back here are the portion sizes .... if you're an average eater you'll leave this restaurant hungry unless you had plenty of appetizers ... more
I came here for lunch with an old friend in hopes that it would be a better place than the food court in the building which I work at. WRONG. My friend is not Asian nor does she eat Asian food often. This should mean a little more attention to helping the patron order. When my friend asked the server if she could substitute the salad in her lunch special for another type (lower cost one), the... more
i love green mango's concept of fast food. yummy, cheap, and healthier than most other places. it's a fast food junkie's idea of paradise. i can eat it 3 times a day 7 days a week without going all "supersize me"!!!!! the portions are generous. i love the glass noodles with the salad and the peanut chicken is oh-so-sinful. you can get a full meal for under $10. the quality is so much better... more
Green Mango has been one of Torontontonians’ key choices for Thai Cuisine for more than three decades, and the Bloor West Village location (one of four in the city) is no exception. Since 1980, the restaurant has won numerous awards for its food and customer service.
