They've done a good job too as the establishment is a very popular destination for astute diners in the area. For me though, I would recommend they do something about the interior of the place as it does look like something out of a retirement home if I'm honest. It just doesn't reflect the quality of the food. With starters like Coconut Prawns or Trio of Smoked Salmon Cornets and main courses of Grilled Dover Sole or Fillet Steak priced at £21 for the sole and £18.95 for the steak, you'd expect a little more up-market decor.

I was taken to Chardonnay by my wife for a birthday treat in May 2015 and I have to say my…read moreexpectations were exceeded! And that's coming from someone who's been accustomed to eating in some very fine, including Michelin Star, restaurants over the years. Granted, it's one of the areas pricier restaurants but this is reflected wholly in the customer service and quality of food. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with a friendly smile, a genuine welcome and presented with the menu and specials board while we waited with an aperitif and nibbles before being shown to our table. The speed of service throughout the evening was just right, allowing enough time between courses that you felt neither rushed or forgotten. The menu choice was varied and appropriate; me being a typical male carnivore and my wife a vegetarian (though she does eat fish) and neither of us felt restricted in our choice of dishes. The quality of the food was equally impressive. The waiting staff showed just the right balance of attention and were quick to respond to our requests and questions. Highly recommended. I only wish I could justify eating there more often!

It's good to have a decent neighbourhood restaurant nearby, and we've not had many round here despite the huge potential clientele from the University. Mango is a friendly place, run with energy and warmth. The menu is described as "thai tapas" which translates to small plates of pretty standard Thai fare. We had a shared meal: the phad thai, which was a bit sticky and bland but still enough for two in the large (non-tapas) size; what the menu called "dim sum" and what we'd copy the Americans calling pork pot-stickers, served with a dipping sauce and tasty enough although a bit pink and salty; spring rolls, served with a sweet chilli dipping sauce, pretty good; what the menu called "prawn tempura", actually fried in breadcrumbs and served with a dipping sauce, the best of the tapas. We also bought cocktails, which were large and tasty enough although I suspect the fruit juices were not fresh - the real cocktail barman was off so they were limited to the selections on the cocktail menu. The restaurant itself is bright with colourful decor and has a good low noise ambience. Its rather small, so the tables are too close together and we felt cramped - avoid the front tables (with the bench) if you don't like sitting really close to strangers. It was also unusually hot and stuffy. We didn't look at the other three rooms in the building. Overall a good addition to the local scene which we'll go back to, maybe for lunch or for a late meal (they are open until midnight) one day after going out to live music along Portswood Road.

The food is reasonalby priced and very tasty, the staff are friendly and the service is speedy. It can get a bit cramped in there and the vegetarien options are pretty limited. In keeping with the hip vibe of the place there are a few tables on the pavement outside, but they're not for the faint hearted as they're pretty close to the main road! I often walk past late and see parties in full swing inside and I've stayed there 'till late myself a few times for their awesome cocktails. Friends have booked out the top floor for birthdays and you can get a buffet for about £11 a head, the booths, close seating and good time atmosphere make it a great venue for bigger groups. They also offer a couple of lunch time deals it you can't wait to get your thai fix!

But I have found out that Jenny's do the same sauce . If ever going to littlehampton we know we won't be going here again.
