Thai Mango — Restaurant in New Smyrna Beach

We were extremely disappointed in this restaurant let me explain why. The people that run the restaurant seem very nice the restaurant in the seating area is clean and it appears like they care about their business. Unfortunately the Thai tea was the most flavorful part of the meal. We ordered several appetizers and entrees with the intention of having leftovers for the next couple of days. We ordered fresh spring rolls, tom yum, rice balls, larb gai, Pad Thai, lard na, and stir-fried rice with garlic and black pepper.

To sum this meal up I would have to say a complete and utter lack of Thai Flavor. As I said earlier the Thai tea was good, but I actually sent back the tom yum soup, something I have never done in a Thai restaurant.

I do want to say that I do not feel in any way like I will get sick from the food so it is not bad food, it is just not flavorful and tasty Thai food.

We don't go to Thai restaurants to have bland food without seasoning. All the sauces were extremely thin and lacked a depth of flavor.

I have eaten at Thai restaurants all over the world and my best estimation as to why there is such a lack of flavor is two things. This restaurant is in an area where a lot of people from the Midwest vacation and a lot of older people at that. I think it is possible that they have toned down the spices in their food to appeal to that bland Midwest pallet.

Before you start freaking out about me stereotyping midwesterners, I lived in the Midwest for several years and I married a girl from the Midwest and I do not care if you do not agree with me. I may not be talking about the millennial midwesterners, but I think we can all agree that previous generation midwesterners are not spice mavens.

The other reason is for the lack of flavor is that there is not a Thai Cook at the restaurant.

Now this doesn't usually matter unless the cook has not been taught Thai cooking techniques.

It's pretty easy to tell if a person knows what they're doing in at Thai kitchen by the depth of flavor and the taste of the wok. There was no depth of flavor, there was no taste of flame, there was no zip in the Tom Yum, the spices were muted there were none of the flavors in this food that I go to a Thai restaurant for except, sadly the Thai tea. I felt like everything was cooked at too low of a temperature. I will say though the crispy tofu was very well done.

If you will take a close look at the pictures I've included in this review I am pretty sure that you will see how thin the sauces are. I believe that I've given this restaurant a fair review and I would never go to it again unless they...

Overall this is an ok restaurant. The review that said modest prices was clearly an employee- they are completely overpriced. A soup and pineapple rice will cost you about $40-$45.

The pineapple rice should be completely delicious, except..it isn't. For some reason the flavors are not blended well. It tastes like all the ingredients were made separately, then tossed in with the rice. Overall the dish has a peanut oil taste- it's super shocking that a $20 rice dish would taste pan fried but I expected it to be so good since it's a feature menu item.

The shrimp portion was good, other ingredients not bad. There's a somewhat decent amount of large pineapple chunks but not a lot throughout. If they were chopped smaller it might bring some flavor in to the dish.

There's nothing to blend the flavors together, it's just so odd.

The other dish I ordered was their coconut curry chicken soup. This was a much better selection, flavorful, my favorite. The curry and coconut, peanut sauce was really good. Great mixture of veges. It was spicier than I liked but after they told me I could have ordered it mild.

The atmosphere is just a family diner in a strip mall. It honestly isn't anything special.

The staff are so nice, efficient and the meal is done quickly. When you call in an order, they understand you and you can understand them. The curry chicken soup Saves this place- everything else so far is a pass. If it were not so overpriced I'd maybe go more often to try other things but seeing dishes come out with wilted overcooked broccoli and the dish looking overcooked is just not appealing. Really a shame, they could be a 5 star with...

This was one of the most horrible meals I have eaten, nonetheless, Thai meal. Despite the two Asian ladies advertised on their website, there is not a single Asian person working at this restaurant. So, if you are after Thai food, this is not the place. Worse yet, if you are just looking for some decent food, stay away. The place is filthy and the food is disgusting. Everything is cooked in the same salty brown liquid. We ordered the deep fried fish with chili sauce and asked if the fish was frozen. The waitress did not know. That means that it was frozen. As matter of fact, she possesses that she does not eat the food there. That should have been a sign to leave, but we decided, how bad can you screw up fried fish, so we went ahead and ordered the dish. The dish came out smelling fishy, it tasted like it has been frozen for years. It was so bad that I got sick the next day and could not fathom the idea of seafood. The pad see ew was swimming in a disgusting brown liquid that was so salty that your blood pressure probably would hit the roof if you were to eat it. The beef was so tough that we had to spit it back out. The noodle used was the wrong noodle for this dish. So, we decided not to try to poison ourselves and returned it. From the look of the other dishes that came out, all the food came out in the same brown liquid. Worst yet, they sneaked in a 3.5% charge for using a credit card without informing us of such. I did not see it until I got home. I am not sure how the restaurant received the other high reviews. It is very deceiving, You could not pay me to...
