    Came here with a friend on a Thursday night after work and it was still pretty busy. Mango Mango is…read morea quaint spot with tasteful decor and even a little lofted seating area. Service was quick and we got seated fast. I ordered the mango dessert with ice cream, sago, and pomelo, and my friend got the tiramisu. The mango dessert was amazing. Super fresh, sweet mango chunks with that natural tropical flavor, paired with creamy ice cream that melted into everything. The sago added a soft, chewy texture and the pomelo gave little bursts of citrusy bitterness that balanced the sweetness really well. It felt light but still indulgent. The tiramisu was also really good. Soft, creamy layers with a nice coffee flavor that was not too bitter, and just the right amount of sweetness. Very smooth and easy to keep eating. We stayed for a while just chatting and were not rushed out at all, which I really appreciated. Not every café lets you sit and relax like that. It is located down a slightly shady alley, but honestly it is fine, especially when it is still light out and since it is in Chinatown. Just feels a little hidden at first. Overall a really solid dessert spot. Not just mango focused, but if you love mango like I do, this place hits.

    Always a solid go-to for my family every time we're visiting Philly. Open space with lots of…read moreseating on two stories. Service is quick and servers are patient. We're always getting some combination of a couple of classic desserts, a crepe, or pancake. As you'd expect, the desserts with mango are tasty and we're also partial to the ones with durian! Sweet but not too sweet, refreshing, and enough variety to keep things interesting. Toppings also had a great texture. Personal favorites are Snow White juice with durian and black rice, special mango juice sago with pomelo w/ mango ice cream, and mango and black rice. I thought the pancakes were just okay - the crepes for them had an interesting texture to me. Also, the crepes were solid, just not what I'd be coming here for. Black sesame paste soup with rice balls was also mid - the rice balls had a great chewy texture, but the black sesame felt a little lacking.

    Lovely experience...we had the tasting menu…read more Appetizers...loved the dumplings and chive rice cakes...we ordered oysters as well (those were not as successful) The prawns were delicious...I recommend using the spoon to get all the flavors in a bite. The ground pork curry was my favorite...sublime. I am going to have lots of leftovers tomorrow and I'm pretty happy about that. Dessert...I don't generally like tiramisu...this will change anyone's mind. The shaved ice...I can't...it's glorious. Anyway...go. The parking is easy on a Sunday...not sure about the weekend.

    I went to Kalaya for the first time Saturday night. Here's the rundown of my experience…read more We arrived 30 minutes early to have a cocktail, and enjoy the space a little before dining. We sat at the small tables near the bar. Within 30 seconds, we were being dripped on by the air conditioning ducts overhead. So we spent 30 minutes dodging that, and trying to position our drinks so they wouldn't get dripped in. My wife had perused the menu beforehand, and was excited to try the Karla, but we were told that they couldn't make it because they ran out of their "mix." it was 5:30 on a Saturday? How do you not prep for a featured drink on the menu? I had the Saree which was an excellent take on a Manhattan. We were escorted to our table, which was butted right up against a huge column. Not the most comfortable. And the chairs are basically the same wooden, uncushioned chairs that are in most church basement fellowship rooms. No tablecloths. Dull, unpolished flatwear. And a view of a Fishtown park with crappy picnic tables out the window. We knew that it was an $85/per person tasting menu. But we did not know that it was all family style, and any choices that you got to make were to be shared by 2 people. So if one of you has a dietary restriction, then that's what you're both getting. My wife is vegetarian. So instead of limiting either of us, we ordered additional items. Vegetarian selections are basically only 1 item per section of the menu. 1 appetizer, 1 curry & nam prik, 1 entree, 1 dessert. BE WARNED the Tiramisu and Durian sticky rice have pork in them, so you're limited to the shaved ice. How does a James Beard award winning restaurant get away with serving a snow cone as a dessert? All of the food was excellent. we like spice, and it did not disappoint. My favorites were the Nam Prik Almond, moo tod nam pla, and the branzino. The food is good. The atmosphere is meh, the service is ok. Did not live up to the hype, or the expense. Definitely not Michelin worthy on many fronts. Probably wouldn't go back.
