My wife and I went there at 10pm, and we were given a table right away. Jayson, our server, recommended the soft shell crab with salted egg dish since I was craving for crab. It tasted so good, I ended up ordering another cup of steamed rice. I’m already planning our next visit.
loved the setting...the staff are very friendly and accomodating...food is superb �
One of the few places that I really enjoyed thai food. Though portions are a bit small for the price, this is still one of the best places to get your thai food fix. A few memorable things for me is the papaya salad. Though an appetizer, I really liked the tangy and spicy taste of the salad that cuts through anything oily you eat.

I feel like if you've had Thai food, you will never say no when someone asks you to a Thai restaurant. Mango Tree is well-known to every Thai food lover not only because of the cuisine but also because of the interior of this place. The whole place screams classy. I have been to many Thai restaurants and they were all good so I just had to see what the buzz was about.
I knew I just had to find the right time because just looking at the menu, you'd know that eating here would mean you'd have to be celebrating something, right? I mean, c'mon. I'm speaking to our average diners here.
Tom Khlong with Spareribs (Php 550.00): this soup is only for the right audience because it has an overwhelming taste of herbs that I feel like picky eaters wouldn't be so fond of but boy, if you're looking for that soothing flavor, this dish is for you. It even comes with tender spareribs.
Grilled U.S. Pork Belly (Php 650.00): was a good start to the explosion of flavors we're about to have. I know Thai food is supposed to be flavorful but I didn't expect to love pork belly at a whole new level.
Stir-fried Chicken with Holy Basil (Php 520.00): I don't know why I was surprised that the dish was grounded chicken when the menu specifically mentioned it'd be minced but hey, I'm not complaining. You know stir-fried dishes are the most flavorful ones. This went perfect with our rice orders.
Pineapple Fried Rice (Php 550.00): see, I ordered this because I thought it would be served on a pineapple bowl which was the reason we all agreed to order it. I don't know why I didn't ask, I was too confident lol. Anyway, needless to say, it wasn't served on a pineapple bowl. It did have lots of pineapple though. The rice was sweet and savory but of course the pineapple taste was the distinct taste of this dish. If you've had it before, you won't be disappointed by the taste.
What we all loved though, which was surprising because it was a list minute order, was the Vegetarian Fried Rice (Php 300.00/small): I'm telling you, it was the oyster sauce that made this rice dish so addicting.
Of course I had to order their Pad Thai Prawns (Php 480.00): because who comes to a Thai restaurant without ordering one, right? Man, oh, man. This was spicy. I mean, all Thai dishes are but this one was really spicy. It was delicious though, it was sweet, savory, and so spicy.
Tri-Colored Mango Sticky Rice (Php 320.00): which is also another must-order. I don't know if each colored rice had their own flavor, if it did, I didn't notice it that much because what stood out to me was the mango. It was so fresh; you can tell it was just sliced. The coconut milk made this whole dish blend well together; it had a light yet distinct taste that will make you want more. My parents kept describing this as suman with mango lol.
I've never had Thai Coffee (120.00): before so I ordered one as soon as I saw it. T wasn't shocked that it was strong and sweet. 2 sips and I felt the kick. Ordering this made me eat those spicy dishes as much as I could because the sweetness really helped removing the fiery pain those dishes brought.
I feel like I crossed off a restaurant bucket list now that I've eaten here. I do stand by my opinion by saying, eating here would mean there must be something special happening not only because the food is price-y but also because the overall ambiance makes you feel special. The servers are nice, attentive, and well-trained that you'd really think you're in a high-class restaurant.
The one and only truly authentic Thai restaurant in the whole country. All the others are far second. Pad Thai, Chicken Basil, Salted Egg Squid, Morning Glory are all done the same way as they do in Thailand. Shrimp cakes are made of fresh shrimps and don't look dark like most restaurants.
First time here.
Great food. Really loved the grilled chicken and pad thai with prawn. We also had a small platter of egg rice which they said was good for 1-2, actually it's good for 2-3. One dish I did not like much is the red curry beef, I couldn't really explain but there's something lacking from it. Aside from that, everything was very flavorful.
Service is great.
Ambiance is topnotch. They are classified as casual dining, but ambiance-wise, it's way more than your casual taste. Very classy I must say.
I just think it's a little overpriced. For those four dishes we ordered including the rice, we were billed P2,400. That's for two persons only. But yes, we're hungry LOL. But still expensive.
Overall, it's a great experience.
Good food. Good service. We will be back for more
Had the pork collar and pad thai by myself for a quick dinner. The price is a bit high for one person but the taste was worth it. Loved the facade and the bar area. Will give this another try with more people on hand!
Went here earlier for lunch together with my workmates to celebrate our milestone. Foods served looks very appetizing. With all the presentation, garnishing and combination of colors, you will surely want to try every food being served here. Plus all of the dish we tried taste delicious too. The level of spiciness of the foods is by default. You can't request to make it less spice or no spice at all. But if you have a lot tolerance in spicy foods, I think the spiciness of the food is somehow tolerable. I will surely come back.
i had a christmas dinner with my friends in mango tree bgc, and i superr looveee all the foods! the pork satay and pork ribs were really tasty, pad thai also delicious, squid was chewy and the seafood sauce was perfect! the one im about to complain was the tomyum soup! the portion was really small :') hahaha but the taste was good tho~ would definitely comeback for another occasion ❤️
First time to eat at Mango Tree - first off, love the cool, island-inspired ambience.
Great place to get your satay and Tom yum fix!

I've been wanting to try Mango Tree for quite some time now. Luckily, Tsuta Ramen beside it was closed so we ended up here. I was excited and happy to see such a beautiful place. It's very spacious and the ambiance was great. We ordered Coffee, Thai Iced tea, Spareribs, Tom Yum Goong with Prawns, Pad Thai with prawns, Crispy Catfish mango salad, Fried rice with shrimp paste, and Sticky rice with Mango. I must say that they were all scrumptious! Their Tom Yum Goong is by far the best Tom Yum Goong here in Manila. The crispy catfish salad was light but flavorful and mango salad really blended with the crispy catfish. Spareribs were also good but it tasted like a regular barbeque. Pad Thai was also excellent. However, I felt that the portions were not that big and is just enough for 3 persons. The prawns were exactly three pieces in Tom Yum and Pad Thai. Each order cost almost 500php. Lastly, sticky rice with mango, this was what I was excited to try and it didn't fail my expectations! It was so good! There were 3 sticky rice with different flavors. The sweetness and creaminess were just enough and not empowering and eating it with sweet ripe mango was just perfect. I was really happy to experience eating here. For people who doesn't care about the price, this is a good place to eat. For those who wants to try even if it's pricey, this is definitely a good choice because the service, quality of the food, and the place were perfect! This made my day!
