The vast dining hall at Mango Tree has high ceilings, a long banquette and evenly distributed tables. The effect, when combined with the simple dark-wood decor and Asian-inspired tableware, is reminiscent of a resort restaurant in South-east Asia (albeit a slightly tired looking example). Popular with workers from nearby offices, the restaurant and cocktail bar are often noisy and bustling at night. However, the menu is enormous and over-ambitious – and the cooking suffers because of it. On our visit ‘lobster special’ and ‘special new’ menus were available alongside the already extensive carte. The result was an incoherent mix of successes and failures. Green papaya salad was easily the best dish, refreshingly spicy with clean flavours, if a bit too sweet. Pork and coriander-stuffed squid and braised beef in penang curry from the ‘special new’ menu were very disappointing, featuring syrupy sweet, poorly balanced sauces and dry meat. Stick to what the restaurant does best: simple dishes with fresh ingredients, such as seared tuna with dried chilli and lemongrass, or stir-fried beef fillet with ginger, garlic and spicy soy sauce. Staff are sweet, but service can get haphazard when things are busy.

The food is over priced. Not as good as expected.

The service was very slow, the restaurant was so noisy we all had to shout, and the food was really bland. I wouldn't go there again, not even for a free meal.

This is a very nice restaurant, vert nic e decor and very attentive staff who always have a smile- really makes all the difference. Dishes were ok, had the steak stirloin salad-bit on the rare side- but mains (Yellow Monkfish Curry) was very nice. Dishes were served relatively quickly and overall ambiance very nice. Would recommend for a date or a girly catch-up!

Way over rated. The place has a good reputation but doesn't live up to expectations. My criticisms. 1) After a friendly greeting, the service goes down hill. Throughtout the meal the service was perfunctory and by the time of settling the bill the waitress couldn't even communicate. I've had better service in McDonalds. 2) Tables are cramped together and the place is too noisy to have a decent conversation. 3) Food was ok but not worth the price. I will not return and would never recommend this to a friend. I give two stars but have could easily slip to one. Over priced, impersonal and mediocre is my summary.
