"Sorry, but this place 's standards have slipped a lot. The food is good but...it 's not exactly plentiful, the prices are sky-high and the delivery not quite what you 'd expect. We ordered two mains: one Pad Cha King Prawn which promised to come with green peppercorns, a spicy sauce and baby aubergines. The other was sliced duck in a tamarind sace. Oh dear. Six sliced of duck in a (very good) tamarind sauce is not worth £16 any day of the week, and the Pad Cha king prawn dish noticeably came without the baby aubergines, which was the reason we ordered it in the first place. We asked for an explanation and were told that 'they didn 't have any ', which wasn 't really an answer. To be fair, they did say 'sorry ' but didn 't offer anything else such as a discount for not delivering what they promised, whch was not just useless, bust also vaguely insulting, as though we should be grateful we got anything at all. To make matters worse, when the bill rocked up not only was it (expectedly) high, but the waitress also had the gall to tell me how to add a tip. Like I was going to... The Miang starter was excellent (though also very slight in portion) and the wine list decent, if also monstrously over-priced. You actually have to pay £1.35 for a dish of about ten prawn crackers and bottled sweet chilli sauce, which is incredible: most other Thai restaurants have this on the table. I think this place fancies itself as Thai fine dining: they really have to shape up their ideas. Their service leaves quite a gap between their aspirations and their delivery. Oh yes...and the staff were not wearing masks. COVID is still a thing, you know."

"we visited Thai mango and looked forward to some delicious authentic Thai food and we were very disappointed. at the arrival in the restaurant we were suddenly screamed through the waitress over the waitress to our reservation then at a table in the center. the way into the kitchen, which means that we were constantly advised in the pastness of other customers and employees. our appetizers arrived who were edible, but the prawn tempura did not resemble from the far away the authentic Thai dish we expected. then we waited for an hour for our crying tiger main course. yes employees apologised for the waiting period and offered us a dose juice to compensate for the waiting period we kindly accepted. when our main course of the weeping tiger (sirloin steak) arrived to say that it would be cooked over friendly! we had ordered this to be moderately rare, but both came to burn! when she talked to the waitress about it, she was apologetic and offered to take one of the bills, but then said if we wanted new food we would wait over an hour again! she said that the cooks were very busy and therefore our food arrived as it did, but there was nothing she could do. I could understand that if there was a big restaurant, but at that time there were only other people at the place. I think this restaurant had potential to be good, but if they offer a well-known dish like weeping tiger and a part they really need to know how to cook it right! the waitress was very rude to us and another couple that came after us. There was a beautiful young man who did not start long, who was extremely apologetic and made the experience much more beautiful for us."
