tl;dr a Chinatown cafe that lives up to its namesake to deliver some tasty and refreshing mango desserts Like many other Chinatown restaurants, this one has a specialty, and it should come as no surprise that Mango Mango churns out some great mango desserts. The front window showcases plastic facsimiles of the desserts on a square shelf equipped with overhead lighting. The inside meanwhile is deceptively large, with tables along the deep interior all the way to the counter and a staircase leading to a second level. The whitewashed walls and wooden furnishings lead to a distinctively modern interior, including metal pipework shelves across from the entrance. Note, Mango Mango only accepts card for purchases greater than $15 (after tax). This past weekday night, the restaurant was quiet and nearly empty. Service was prompt and friendly, and the staff were more than happy to help my partner and I navigate the thick menu. We decided upon two desserts: the Strawberry Mango Juice, Sago, and Lychee Jelly with Mango Ice Cream and the Snow White Mixed Fresh Fruit with Sago and Grass Jelly. Within 10 minutes, two large glass goblets were brought over to our table, both of them filled to the brim and above, one a vibrant gold while the other a cool white. The mango juice dessert had a large scoop of the ice cream and plenty of toppings. The jellies provided a unique texture to the dish, while the fruit was fresh and perfectly ripe. The strawberries especially added a nice crisp and was a nice complement to the heavy mango emphasis. The mango ice cream was good, but I believe that it could have a more robust flavor. On the other hand, the mixed fruit dessert fell flat. The juice tasted vaguely of mango but overall seemed like glorified iced water. This ice had cantaloupe as one of the fruit options, which I found to have a detracting flavor. The only saving grace for the mixed fruit was, well, the mango! If you go, make sure to get a dessert that really highlights the restaurant's namesake. Each dessert was a tad pricy at $7, which is nearly enough to buy a full dinner in this neighborhood. While not my go-to dessert cafe in Chinatown, I'll make it back to Mango Mango the next time I have a major hankering for something sweet and refreshing. read more

I wanted the mango grass jelly sago, but when the waitress took my order I accidentally told her I wanted the mango lychee jelly sago. When my order came she brought me the mango grass jelly sago on accident, but that was what I wanted!! And then she brought a mango lychee jelly sago because she messed up our order. This is the first dessert place I've been to that has such a deal :) read more

Mango Mango Dessert - Strawberry mochi mango crepe and original mango mango - Desserts Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I'm a big fan of the Mango Mango desert chain, and this Philly location did a great job. We were there at 8pm on a Monday night, and while there were definitely a good handful of patrons there, they were able to seat and accommodate our party of 11 on the lower floor by putting some tables together. Our party sampled a little of everything on the menu- from the ice cream based to drinks, crepes, and layered crepe cakes. my favorite was the fruit ice desert, which featured fresh fruit cut and placed over shaved ice and coconut milk juice with various mochi and jellies for added texture. I also liked the mango ice cream- so delicious. I feel like you cannot go wrong here! read more

Mango Mango is a gorgeous little sit down dessert bar. We tried one of the sample platters and I have to say, everything was delicious. Mango ice cream, mango mochi, mango anything- they probably have it. The desserts are well made from fresh mangos and carefully crafted to look incredible- if you go with a group of girls, they will be taking pictures for a while. It's priced like an NYC dessert bar but also kind of feels like one- a bit fancier than the rest of the places in Philly. Service was reasonable. The aesthetic was well designed- lighting is great for photos and overall fun experience. I will return. read more

Mango Mango Dessert - Honestly don't even remember what the individual dishes were, everything was mango and delicious - Desserts Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Mango Mango is a cute little dessert shop in Chinatown right across from Bonchon and within walking distance from many of my favorite restaurants. I'm a fan of their interior decor - a blend of modern vibes (with wall murals) and Japanese shows on the big screen TV. A bit on the expensive side but you can also get combos. All their desserts look amazing though. The durian crepe is pretty good. We tried the Ube soup with sago and rice balls but were disappointed, kind of bland. read more

This is a cute spot for a night out on the town in the heart of Philly. My boyfriend and I were looking for a sweet treat and came across this exotic experience. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were pretty friendly. The menu had us venturing the world of Google and YouTube learning more about what durian is. We were very thankful to our waitress who warned my boyfriend against getting that flavor of ice cream seeing as he had never had it before. We first tried some soup like concoction. It had tapioca balls in it. It had a sweet taste to start and then ended with this fishy/seafood taste. I thought it more of a clam chowder dessert. It wasn't horrible but definitely an acquired taste. Next, I had the waffle with strawberry banana Nutella and hazelnut ice cream. It was delicious! My boyfriend had the crepe, which was also really good. It was a great first time experience. I would definitely come back again. read more

Fresh fruit. Great ice cream. I honestly have only been here once so far but I'm dying to go back to taste more of the menu. Definitely a more unique dessert sport than your usual cupcakes and brownies so definitely give it a try! read more

One of the few, if not only, sit-down dessert placed in Chinatown! This place is always popping, so expect a wait, but turnover is quick; we've never had to wait more than 10 minutes. Cute, clean, but slightly disorganized/inefficient service. Also, they frequently run out of items by night time, so come early! They have a mix of Asian/Hong Kong style desserts, along with plain ice cream options for those not interested. Of course, as with the name, anything with Mango here is quite delicious. Tip: their shaved ice is huge (much larger than pictured on the menu!), and can feed about 4 people. read more

Mango Mango is a cute little dessert shop chain located in an alley right across from Bonchon in Chinatown. I love that this location offers first floor and upper level seating that overlooks the entire place. My partner and I ordered the Strawberry/Mango/Lychee w/ Mango Ice Cream and the Mo Mo Cha Cha. The Mo Mo Cha Cha is a warm dessert with sago and yam in a sweet coconut soup. If you have had the Filipino dessert ginataan, it is almost like it, but without the bilo-bilo (dough balls) and langka (jackfruit). In its entirety the desserts were nothing special and I would not come back especially for the quantity and price. If you're in town, definitely give it a try at least once. read more

Mango Mango Dessert - Mo Mo Cha Cha + Strawberry/Mango/Lychee with Mango Ice Cream - Desserts Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

BEWARE! Minimum $15 to use debit/credit card! Food: their menu is huge and I was a bit overwhelmed with the choices. The mango icecream was not sweet at all. I believe it's because they make their own icecream, due to the boxes and boxes of mangoes near the counter. There is also an option to make your own crepe/waffle. Price: my dessert was $6.50 and wasn't a small serving so it was good enough. Place: they have a take out and dine in option. Some objects are not available unless you dine in. Service: service was very good. Our server was just dozing off a bit but she was still nice and she tried to be attentive. read more

Love this place and hate this place cuz of how good the yummy durian crepe cake is and how bad the parking is! There is parking lot for $10 but I just don't want to pay $10 for parking for a slice or 2 of cakes! But I suppose with this parking obstacles it'll help me from buying new pants size hahaha $8 per slice and I can totally eat 2 pieces per seating if there's no such thing as fat/diabetes!!!! I ordered a total of 9 slices of durian crepe cakes and 1 slice of matcha crepe cake in a 3 days span! As I'm writing this I can't wait to go home to eat some more! Very soft and moist but not soggy. I love both but durian is the winner! I love that stinky fruit! LOL Their hot desserts were yummy, we had red bean past soup and mo mo cha cha. Mo mo cha cha is a winner out of those two. Coconutty and creamy and smooth. Where as the red bean was just watery. Overall all I want is durian crepe cake lol read more

Whenever we take guests here, they really enjoy the novelty of the mango-filled menu. We opted for the matcha green tea crepe and the mango shaved ice this time. The crepe cake was great, as always. The shaved ice, while HUGE in portion, left something to be desired - it didn't have much in terms of actual fresh mango, leaving just an artificial tasting mango-flavored shaved ice with a dollop of mango ice cream + mochi. On another note, the staff is fantastic. read more

Desserts! For me desserts are to be lightly sweet filled with subtle flavors and a great balance. Mango Mango definitely did the deed for me. We ordered the first mango dessert on the menu and it was pretty phenomenal. No surprise why this joint is called Mango Mango. We also ordered the ube hot soup and a slice of the matcha cake. The three of us really enjoyed it. Philly's Chinatown is one of the best Chinatowns of the States in my opinion and this place did not disappoint. Great spot to bring a date as well. read more

Came here one night looking for dessert after grabbing some pizza. For the three of us we ended up getting 2 things to share. The mango panna cotta was topped with lots of fresh mangos and the panna cotta itself was smooth and creamy yet just firm enough to hold shape. The mango mille cake was delicious with well defined layers, topped with mango chunks and drizzle. I was expecting it to be overly sweet but surprisingly the cake was just right with the creme having a more fresh feeling than just sugar. I hear the durian mille cake is also a hit here so maybe that is what to get if I come back. Overall a surprise for me but I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. read more

I like their mango pomelo dessert, especially during mango season. It's a nice place to hang out with friends but it can get pretty nosy. This dessert shop has a huge menu so you're bound to find something you like. Portions are large. Service can be a bit slow. read more

This place and service was just amazinggg!! Been looking for a fun new dessert and this is totally it. Slightly on a side road so not something you'd just run into while walking around but it's only half a block to mango heaven! I got the cake which was good but not too sweet. Friends got the bowl desserts. There's a lot of options and also tea. Plenty of seating as it's two stories. read more

You have to try this place if you're in the area! It's in Chinatown! They have very many cool desserts that you won't see anywhere else! It is beautiful inside, and you wait to get seated and place your order. I had the durian pancake and I liked it. If you haven't tried durian, I suggest you try it before going to this place to order it lol. Durian is an acquired smell/taste. For some, the smell is too strong for them. Anyhows, it has a durian inside this "pancake" with cream on top of it. It was mighty yummy! read more

I've been carrying on a mission to come try out Mango Mango over a period of time now. All my family ever do is keep on raving about it over and over and over again. So much that it has became my main priority that if I ever land my two little feet in Chinatown, I would make the extra effort to stop by this place and judge it for myself. Little did you know, that day has finally happened! Arrived here on a beaming hot Saturday afternoon and the place was already filled up. Yes it was scorching outside, so what a way to treat yourself to a chill delight. The only negative thing I can say about my experience was narrowing down to what I really wanted to try. My Mister and I decided to get the Strawberry Mango Juice Sago with Rice Ball & Ice Cream. Also, the Mango Strawberry Slush. The portion seemed small, but decent enough to share. Both were delicious. My favorite part was the mango ice cream indeed. Service was great and our overall experience here was good. Seriously can't wait to go back. read more

I love mangos. In Taipei I would eat mango shaved ice for dessert until I would get sick (there's a lot of eating to be done!). I'm so happy and excited this place is open, and perfect for summer! Yes, there are 8 million mango desserts. And frankly you pretty much can't go wrong with any of them. If you're going with a group, I highly recommend the very large mango shaved ice. Fluffy light shaved ice topped with mango ice cream, mango chunks, and rice balls. Who doesn't love rice balls?? You can see the cases upon cases of mangos-super fresh. The best part?? Nothing is overly sweet. It doesn't taste like they add a ton of sugar to anything! Just perfectly mango. read more

I'm so glad Mango Mango is in Philly. There's a decent amount of seating so this is a great place to go with a group for dessert. Pretty much anything you get is good but you're probably best off getting something with mango considering the place is known for their mango desserts (lol). Service is decent and they refilled my water when needed. Our waitress was also helpful with recommending dishes and also offered to give us samples of durian to try since we weren't sure if we wanted to try durian mille crepe. We ended up getting durian mille crepe and snow white mango juice with sago and pomelo with ice cream. If you like durian, you should try the durian crepe cake. If not, try something with mango. There are a lot of options so you're bound to find something you like. read more

Cute place but it's a overhyped dessert place (maybe quality has gone down since popularity has gone up?). I've gone to the one in Edison, NJ plenty of times and honestly that one is much better. Mango crepe - tasted kind of dry like it had been sitting there for awhile Mango Sundae - the ice cream wasn't creamy, definitely had ice shavings mixed in (the one I had in the Edison location was much better) Mango pancake - this one was yummy though, tasted light and fluffy Overall, there are better dessert places in Philly, but this place def. makes a nice hangout place! read more

Mango Mango is the paradise land to all the mango lovers everywhere that we never knew we needed. I am super excited that more Asian dessert places are finally coming to Philly, as I feel like they've been in New York for the longest time. Mango Mango offers a modern, yet universally palatable approach. While many of their menu items include mangoes, there are a few that do not for any non-mango lovers. I have noticed that there aren't quite as many options at the Philly location as they do in New York, so if you're expecting the same menu, you will be disappointed. The desserts are still delicious. I love that they have low sweet to very sweet options that can truly appeal to all palates and ages. I haven't tried anything that I didn't like here. Personally, I must say that the drinks fall on the almost too sweet side for me, so I would be careful, but it was tasty! read more

Good place to chill with friends and grab a refreshing light dessert that is fruit focused and kissed with different sweet options from the mundane to the exotic. They have something from everyone's tastebuds. We tried multiple thumbs up recommendations the mango, lychee, strawberry with sago and ice cream was my favorite. read more

This place is so nice; you have to say it twice. (I'm so sorry I'm corny) Stopped by one late night and we got mango w/ sago and herbal jelly. The mango "pancake" which was soooo good, it's like a dumpling but thin layer and filled with whip cream/cream cheese and fresh mango! We also got the Green tea mille crepe, this was my first time having it so I don't haven anything to compare it to but the match they use was a bit bitter. Service was fast and friendly, and everything came out pretty fast. Nice place to come and share a bunch of dishes and hang out. I will def return! read more

Refreshing fruit bowls with jelly, slushee, and mango flavored ice cream had my mom ordering 2! She couldn't get enough. My mom has very specific tastes when it comes to desserts and this one hit the spot! Light and tart fruit bowls after Philly cheesesteaks was what the night called for! The mango pancake is good too though not a pancake by typical means. It is whipped coconut cream with mango chunks which are wrapped in a yellow crepe blanket and made to look like a cube! Interesting but a bit pricey for whipped cream and fruit. The waitress was nice too and was prompt with service. She was very timid in her demeanor but very friendly. Worth a visit! read more

3.5/5 - this is my boyfriend's favorite dessert shop so we've been here a few times but service is always super slow. we always get the A5 - very good but pricey for the size. we've also tried the grapefruit tea, which was just okay, and the snow white strawberry smoothie, which was super good (but pricey)! read more

Mango Mango Dessert - A5. Strawberry Mango Juice Sago Lychee Jelly with Mango Ice Cream - Desserts Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

You wants mango? Then come to all things mango at Mango Mango! So when I saw the opening sign a few weeks ago of Hong Kong-style desserts, my interest was piqued. So I was excited that this place finally was opening its doors in Philly.... ....but sadly, I think I want to like this place more than I do. Desserts are made well and the mangos were as ripe and tasty as you could hope for. So you'll get mango ice cream with mangos, and sago. A downside is that it's kinda expensive what it is, which I'm chalking up to the price of a decent mango. But while everything is decent, it's all a bit plain and recombos of the same 7-8 ingredients. Also pass on the mango pancake, I downright didn't like it. I think the Philly location is suffering from some grand opening pains as service was unorganized. It seemed the servers were all catering to whatever table as opposed to being assigned. A nice addition would be Honk Kong style coffee but maybe I'm just too reminiscent for Hong Kong and I want a nice one stop shop. read more

Every thing came out perfect . It is a busy area. There is waiting. Mango shave is super large amount great for 4 people. Will come back again read more

I like that this place is open late, when other dessert places after a night out are closed. This is a great place to introduce your friends to a one-stop tour of ingredients and creations in Asian desserts that you might not easily find elsewhere: liberal use of rice balls, nut and bean pastes, and tons of fruit (mostly mango, but also durian) in combinations such as soups and ice cream bowls and alongside piles of fruit, jellies, and tapioca. Waffles were okay. The mango juice and ice cream desserts with rice balls were good. The menu is extensive and there will probably be something for everyone. read more

This is my place to go whenever I'm craving Hong Kong desserts. It's less sweet than your typical American desserts, so if you're in the mood for a sugar rush, this place is not for you. If your palate can't handle overly sweetened things, this place is for you. I always get the mango pancake and one of their bowls to split with a couple friends. This particular time, I got the mango pancake, durian pancake, and mango crepe cake. The "pancakes" consists of whipped cream and fruit of your choice (mango or durian) enveloped in a crepe. One thing I've noticed is that the mangoes are definitely sweeter during the Summer than the Winter, probably due to it being mango season. They don't use the typical multicolored red, green, & orange mango, but rather, the champagne mango which are yellow in color. The mango pancake and mango crepe cake were equally delicious. I'm not a fan of durian, but my friends said it was pretty good as well. If you like mangoes, this is your place to be. They have everything from waffles with fruits, ice cream, traditional Hong Kong dessert bowls with random stuff inside (lol I don't have a better way to describe it). They have a good selection that can please everyone in your party. read more
