What most impressed me about Green Mango (and what I liked best) is that their food leaves you feeling good- no, great! Usually when I get Thai food, I leave feeling full and sickly and bad about myself because I just ate 5000 calories. The greasy feeling is never appealing, and is the worst feeling after a meal. However, with Green Mango this is quite the opposite. You get great dishes, full of flavor with the healthy options and varieties. Who says you can't have flavor without being healthy!
Green Mango has two different locations, one located on South Braddock Avenue and the other on William Penn Highway. We (my mother and I) went to the South Braddock Avenue location and we almost missed it! Blending in with the surrounding buildings and restaurants, from the outside, Green Mango doesn't look very distinguishable. However, after stepping in, you feel like you have just walked into a restaurant in Thailand, where the Emperor and Empress are proudly displayed on their wall- as all places in Thailand do.
The dishes at Green Mango are surprisingly filling yet doesn't leave you with that greasy, guilty feeling- which is great. Full of flavor, the Pad See Eu and curries were a must on their menu. Of course, I also got a Thai Iced Tea- it was a bit sweeter than normal- but still very delicious!
Thai Iced Tea- of course!

Green Mango is great for vegetarians. Their vegetables are fresh and crisp and the vegetarian option is available for all dishes. I also hear that the Tofu with Basil and King Tofu (although I didn't personally try it) is a wonderful and tasty vegetarian option as well. If you are looking for some great Thai food, definitely stop by Green Mango for some healthy, flavorful food- you won't regret it!
