    I love the fact that they are open until 11 PM on the weekends. It is a nice clean restaurant with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I love the food menu and the selection. For the appetizer we ordered bang bang shrimp and dumplings. They both were delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the snapper roll and I don't remember what my date got but he enjoyed it. Will definitely be back.

    Great service, great atmosphere, great cocktails, and great food. Enjoyed a nice evening at an outside table. Our server Vikki was great. I started out with a 22-43 cocktail which I had never heard of before but I was very intrigued by it being a fan of whiskey. A blend of Woodford Reserve, Brazilian Banana Liqueur, Demerara, and bitters. It was delicious! I was a little nervous about the whiskey and banana flavors together but it's a great combination. We also ordered the seaweed salad (also a first for me) and the Spicy Pork and Spicy Shrimp Dumplings. They were great although I'm not sure I would consider them to be spicy. I went with the drunken noodle with steak and asked for it to be spicy. I then asked if it was Thai spicy and Nikki asked if I was sure I could handle it. I was sure. That too didn't really seem spicy to me but it was still great. I'll definitely be back here to try some of the other dishes.

    Hard to believe I have never been to this spot in downtown St. Pete. You almost have to know it is there as it is not readily apparent from the street as to the sort of place that it is. Definitely will be going back though! Atmosphere is very cool. We sat at the bar but there are plenty of table options. Went on a Sunday afternoon so wasn't overly crowded. Service at the bar was very attentive and friendly. We did appetizers and sushi rolls and both were phenomenal. Prices are very reasonable for the portions and quality. Will definitely be going back!

    Mangosteen is one of those sleek, modern spots that seems to pop up every time a dive bar or punk venue vanishes - so if you're nostalgic for the grit of old downtown, this place might sting a little. That said, the food almost makes up for the gentrification vibes. The Goat Cheese Pear Salad was a total win. Creamy, tangy, sweet - everything balanced. Plus, the portion was surprisingly generous, which was a nice surprise for a place that looks like it could charge extra for breathing. Tried the Philly Roll too - solid, fresh, nothing mind-blowing, but it scratched the sushi itch. Drunken Noodles with steak had great flavor - savory, spicy, with that rich wok-charred depth - but the steak itself was tough and a bit chewy. I'll probably go with chicken or shrimp next time. Also...can we talk about the silverware? For a place that clearly isn't shy about their prices, the forks and knives feel like they came from a dorm kitchen starter pack. Upgrade, please. Worth a stop if you're hungry and in the area, but don't come looking for soul--it got priced out.

    Literally, hands down the best Pad Thai (this is a Laotian restaurant so it's called Pad Lao on the menu) in the area!! Def you can taste the wok flavor in this!!! The Volcano sushi is out of this world. My friend recommended this place & she was spot on! And let me tell ya... this is da place!!! Their Thai iced tea is very delicious. I always get Thai iced tea with no cream anywhere I go. It was a 10 out of 10 bold strong flavor. Next time I wanna try their other noodle dishes I'm obsessed with the flavor at this place. It is a tangy tamarind taste, and not the more sweet taste, and I love the tangy places only.

    Had a fantastic meal here. Sat at the bar. Service was spot on perfect. I would suggest a reservation because they do attract a crowd. Have been back twice now.

    Visited Mangosteen on a Friday night with a girlfriend and it was a vibe! Our server was super friendly and gave us recommendations when we couldn't decide between a few options. We got the Mangosteen roll to share. It was alright, but I've definitely had better sushi. We also ordered the duck dumplings and while they were delicious, we were a little disappointed because we assumed they would be steamed. The entrees and drinks are where this place really shined! We got the Dragonball Z and the Happy Ending and they were both delicious! I would come back just for those alone. For Entrees, I got the crispy duck and my friend got the Mangosteen noodles, but were awesome choices. Next time, I would try the crispy duck with curry instead of basil.

    Mangosteen was a wonderful experience! The food was amazing and our waitress was so kind and helpful. The food was amazing and the presentation matched. I will be coming back again because there were so many items I still need to try.

    Drunken Noodles
    Alan W.

    Saint Petersburg keeps delivering on great food places. We tried Mangosteen at lunch and had a really good experience. The restaurant is very clean and contemporary. The server could not have been friendlier. I ordered the Drunken Noodle Bowl. It arrived and probably could have fed 2 people, although I ate it all. It is made of chicken, basil, onions, cilantro, a coconut curry, pepper, sticky wide rice noodles, & an egg. The dish was flavorful. My only criticism, & it's a slight criticism, is that the chicken was really rubbery. Other than that, it was a great experience.

    Trivia: Whats the name of the tropical evergreen tree with edible fruit and seeds a similar size and shape to almonds? (Did you see this coming?) If you're in the mood for Asian fusion, this should be at the top of your list in St Pete. But, first, I have one critique. Im sure this is a grumpy man critique: The bibimbap is NOT in a clay pot. So the rice doesn't get that extra layer of crispiness. Which is okay because the service, ambiance, and flavor, IS ON POINT. As is often the case with stellar menus, I couldn't decide on just one thing. So I started with a snapper roll of sushi. Fresh, flavor popping, no need to wasabi it up. (But seriously, who passes up the delightful green mush?!) I moved on to the bibimbap. It had plenty of gochujang in the mix and plenty of tasty veggies along with the marinated steak. Delicious. Perfectly plated egg at my favorite level cooked (just a slow ooze of yolk) . I also had a glass of wine. Simple wine list but a nicely balanced wine. The website was carefully laid out with excellent pictures and their origin story. Check it out! **I'm finishing this review about three months after I visited. One week after Milton. Hoping this business is doing well.

    This is my new go to lunch spot! In the heart of Downtown St.Pete sits a lowkey Asia fusion restaurant with some pretty iconic dishes. Delaney was our server and she was the best! She knew we were in a rush since we were on lunch but made sure to get all our food out quickly so we had plenty of time to enjoy it. Our go to items are the Drunken Noodles which reminds me of their take on pad Thai and the Crunchy Roll which has a mixture of flavors in it. This place is never busy which helps because we're always able to get in and out when we need to.

I visited before a Rays game and was immediately impressed by both the service and the food. The staff was attentive without hovering, the pacing was excellent, and the entire experience felt polished and intentional. I ordered the Bibimbap with bulgogi steak, tofu, fried egg, kimchi, vegetables, gochujang, and crispy rice, along with two spring rolls. What stood out most was the balance. The dish delivered heat, sweetness, savory depth, texture, and freshness without relying on heavy sauces or excessive portions. Every ingredient maintained its own identity while contributing to the overall flavor of the dish. Too many restaurants create flavor by drowning food in sauce. Hawkers does it through seasoning, spices, and technique. There was no puddle of sauce at the bottom of the bowl, no overly sweet glaze, and no greasy heaviness. The rice absorbed flavor without becoming soggy, and the kimchi, vegetables, egg, tofu, and bulgogi worked together beautifully. The spring rolls were equally impressive. Light, crisp, delicate, and perfectly executed, with a thin wrapper and just the right amount of crunch. What impressed me most was that I left satisfied, not stuffed. The portions were thoughtful, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the flavors were layered rather than overwhelming. Since moving to Florida, this ranks as one of the best restaurant meals I have had. Highly recommended.

We arrived around 10:15 p.m. on a Friday night, with the restaurant closing at 11:00 p.m. Maybe that contributed to our experience, although several other parties were seated after us, so we weren't the last customers of the evening. We ordered quickly since we already knew what we wanted. My partner ordered the special, I ordered the ramen, and we shared the fried shrimp dumplings as an appetizer. Our server was friendly and attentive, though it was clear the staff was beginning to transition into closing mode. Unfortunately, that affected the atmosphere. While we were still eating, employees were spraying tables and mopping nearby. The smell of cleaning chemicals mixed with our food, which made the dining experience less enjoyable. When my ramen arrived, it looked more like a wonton soup or pho than the ramen I was expecting. I didn't question it because I assumed it might be their interpretation of the dish. However, the broth was quite bland, and the vegetables were still somewhat undercooked. The chicken had no seasoning, it tasted like it was boiled within the broth. After a few bites and sips, I decided not to finish it. My partner seemed to enjoy his meal, though he tends to be pretty easygoing when it comes to food. I didn't try his dish since it was very spicy and that's not really my thing. The restaurant is in a great location on Central Avenue, which makes it a fun area to walk around and people-watch. However, with most dishes priced around $20, I expected a better overall experience and higher quality food. Unfortunately, this isn't a place I would return to.

We met for dinner on a Thursday night at 7 PM, which feels like a pretty normal after-work dinner time, but they close at 8 PM. For a restaurant that serves dinner and cocktails, that felt surprisingly early. To their credit, the staff never rushed us out and were very patient while we continued catching up past closing. However, the early closing time would make it difficult for me to come back regularly, especially for weeknight dinners with friends. Overall, the food was excellent and I'd definitely recommend it, just be sure to keep their hours in mind.
