Southampton is crying out for this kind of dining experience. Set in the ever emerging area of Portswood, the quirky Victorian building boasts some really interesting Thai influenced decor. Its compact size ads to the intimacy of the chilled atmosphere and the concept of Thai tapas is a complete success! I haven't found anything I don't like on the menu,... more

I first visited Mango shortly after it first opened. Having experienced some great Thai food in other places, the bar was raised pretty high, but Mango definitely fulfilled. My husband had previously sworn himself off Thai food after a bad experience with “Lemongrass” (basically, he got drunk, was hungover and blamed the food!) so to get him back inside a... more

We made a two hour round journey, just to try the place following a recommendation. It was a very worthwhile trip. We were greeted and seated by Colin, a very pleasant young man, who made very good suggestions regarding our selection. The food was amazing, really fit for royalty. Good value for money, pleasant atmosphere and a place we want... more

Having been a regular diner at Mango and having raved to everyone who'll listen about how amazing it is every time I visit, I couldn't think of a better place to celebrate my birthday. Mango really is a little bit of Thailand in the middle of Southampton - the food is incredible and having visited Thailand myself and several Thai... more

I'm very surprised to see this place as No.1 for restaurants in Southampton. This place is a pub at the end of the day and the fancy thai tapas style food is just a bonus. I went with my wife and we sat at a tiny little table in the front bar area. Service was slow and although my wife... more

I've been visiting Mango for a long time now on my regular visits down from London and have raved about this quirky, cool and funky place to colleagues and friends alike. However on my recent visits to Mango I felt that standards had slipped - something which I would only like to highlight so that it can be rectified and... more

I am very suprised to see this in at number 1 for restaurants in Southampton. It is quirky, stylish and the food isn't bad at all; it's just that I thought the place was going to be a really top experience from what I'd heard. I don't think its the best food at all, it's good but not great; the... more

Clearly, the apparent success of Mango highlights the fact that despite the recession there is a market for relatively cheap but tasty food served in a good , friendly atmosphere. The restaurant will need to get a better grip on its FOH organisation if it is to stay the course. The food here is good, but the management could be... more

Having been to many restaurants in Southampton, this is one of my favourites. Their menu is full of Thai Tapas -sounds strange, but it's really good...Whenever I go there I always start with some Tapas and move onto one of the main thai meals (very good!) Great atmosphere, the decor is relaxed and modern, with big windows and an area... more
