Ok so not the nicest view or the best neighbourhood but the food is amazing! The Crispy duck is amazing, and I literally crave it every few months! Worth every cent!

My wife & I headed out to Green Mango for her birthday celebration. The food was excellent and service fun & attentive. The Sushi selections are extensive. The portions selected were freshly made & excellent. Prices are medium , value good. Parking onsite is always limited but plenty parking in the street. Car guards seem to be on the ball... More

We always get the sushi at Green Mango because they excel at it. The flavours are simple and uncomplicated, but very good. Their sashimi is always of great quality. This time around I tried the tempura as well. The prawn tempura was very good, but I was disappointed with the vegetable version - just a single zucchini cut into four... More

Took the family to The Green Mango for a birthday dinner but were disappointed. The service was very good, friendly, efficient, and the location is not great but its fine, we were not there for the view. The salmon nigiri was very fresh and the fried spinach was a nice surprise, something really different, but the seafood salad had sliced... More

Lovely food with good clean flavours. Excellent value for money. Never had a bad meal yet. Service friendly but pretty basic. Sushi has always been good. It is in the parking lot but otherthan that I've always had a great meal there.

I have visited the Green Mango on several occasions over the past few years and I have never been disappointed. I love the choice of freshly prepared sushi and the amazingly flavoured Thai dishes.

Authentic as you need it to be. Awesome sushi, excellent Thai. Why is the wine so cheap? Noticed the other review regarding the view.... It's a South African thing looking at car parks, but you don't notice them of the company and the food is good

This is a small, casual, open door restuarant. The chef is also the owner so he has a personal interest in the preparation of the food. The Sushi is always fresh and served beautifully. You can discuss your dish with the chef which makes this an added bonus. Their seafood salad is also absolutely delicious. the service is fast and... More
