Ya'll! I just used ChatGPT to say, hey there was this phenomenal pumpkin dish I had 15 yrs ago in San Jose...I think it was a Chinese restaurant...I think it was a chicken or pasta dish.....And it immmmmmediately popped up Sweet Mango's Pumpkin Chicken---and I immmmmmediately recognized the name, AFTER 15 YEARS! And ong, they are still open, same location, STILL serving the same dish! I'm driving all the way from San Leandro for it. I had a client nearby the restaurant 15 yrs ago, stopped in for my dinner before long commute home, ordered the same meal to go that I had eaten at the table, and came back the next couple of times I worked with that client. Def taking a to go order after eating! Casual, comfy, mango colored walls, great for solo, date, family dining. The owner was very sweet, I remember. Must be named after her. read more

Love the staff. Love the food. Nice dining room. Convivial. Very consistent, clean, flavorful, and they are ok when I say I just want x veggies with no onions et... Love the basil tofu, broccoli shrimp, curry veggies, tea salad, - just about everything. The only thing is the take out has a lot of plastic. I would prefer healthier and better for environment card board even if double boxed. or sauces not heated in plastic if need be. read more

Anytime I want Chinese food in San Jose I have to visit Sweet Mango. This food always tastes fresh. The restaurant always smells clean and the staff are very attentive. It's a positive vibe here for sure. Make sure you check the days they are open, I believe they are closed every Tuesday. We always order the same dishes. Kung Pao Chicken, Orange Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein, and Honey Walnut Prawns. Never have I had a disappointing dinner or lunch here. Make sure you ask for the chili oil if you enjoy spicy condiments. Located right next to downtown Willow Glen. Enjoy!! read more

Every time we are in San Jose (which is often), we go to Sweet Mango. Here are some of our favorites: Salt and Pepper Fish: amazing and we always get two orders. Perfect spices. Tea Leaf Salad: delicious and has caused many fights over who gets to finish it. Roti Prata: like eating delicious, fluffy air with a wonderful sauce. Red Curry Chicken: great flavor Pad Kee Mao: a tasty classic. We love Sweet Mango. If you haven't been, check it out! read more

Delicious food! I ordered take out over the phone. The order was ready in about 20 minutes. The restaurant seemed small with basic decor - no fancy extras. It's on the edge of downtown Willow Glen, a block from Lincoln. I've seen it a dozen times and wanted to check it out for a while. Glad I finally did. The price was high ($78) considering I only ordered 4 items, one was an appetizer. read more

Decent pad Thai, although I wanted a bit more crunch, either in the form of bean sprouts or carrots. The pork with coconut curry was too fatty for my taste. read more

My brother and I met up with a buddy of ours for dinner. We've eaten at a few different places in Willow Glen over the years, and have driven past this restaurant many times. But thankfully, tonight, we decided to try out Sweet Mango. This was a good find for us. It's a standalone restaurant with It's own smallish parking lot. The interior is quaint and has typical "Asian-style decor". One unisex restroom only. The service is so friendly and attentive! We ate family-style and ordered the following dishes... Tea Leaf Salad: Salad prepared with imported burmese tea leaf, tomatoes, fried garlic, fried onion, fried split peas, sesame seeds, peanuts, iceberg lettuce & fish sauce (4/5). Good flavor with different crunchy textures. Basil Chicken: White chicken stir-fried with bamboo shoots, onion, bell pepper, zucchini in fresh basil sauce (3.5/5). This was different than expected. It sort of reminded me of a Kung Pao Chicken but with no peanuts. The sauce was good but what was amazing was the chicken breast. This was the most tenderest chicken meat I have ever tasted. I mean it just melted in your mouth. It was so good. Burmese Style Fried Rice: Steam rice stir-fried with pork sausage, egg, bean sprout, onion, cabbage, and fish sauce with ground turmeric (3/5). This was just ok to me. The pork sausage was Chinese lap cheung. It was good to try. Coconut Curry Chicken: Tender chicken slow-cooked with fish sauce, onion, garlic, and seasoned with coconut curry sauce (4/5). Flavorful curry with pan seared potatoes and super tender chicken breast. Fresh Mango with Sticky Rice (4/5). sweet and ripe mangoes in a sweetened coconut cream sauce. [No picture]. Thai Ice Tea: Sweet and creamy tea blend with hints of spices, served over ice (4/5). Support your local business. read more

Sweet Mango - Burmese Near Me - San Jose, California

I love this place based on the Chinese food. I can't speak too much on the Thai or Burmese dishes but I have seen reviews stating they didn't taste "authentic". I've stuck with the Chinese dishes (kung pao, Mongolian beef, general tso, etc) and they were all delicious!!! I clean my plate up every time Lunch special is definitely worth it as it comes with a salad and soup in addition to your entree (which comes with steamed white rice) Service is great and food came pretty quickly. In terms of ambiance, it's not the prettiest but I come here for the great food at great prices so I'm not complaining :-) read more

Sweet Mango - Mongolian Beef lunch - Burmese Near Me - San Jose, California

Definitely a spot you'll want to try- I live locally and have been meaning to stop by Sweet Mango and always seem to crave Chinese/burmese when it's closed. I was pleasantly surprised with the array of items on the menu. The service is amazing, felt very welcoming as soon as I stepped in. Ordered to go and my food was ready swiftly. Totally forgot to snap a photo but my meal was delicious and flavorful. read more

My family loves this place! It's family owned, the staff is warm and welcoming. The food that we order is delicious! We eat vegan and they have lots of options for us, tofu, pad see ewe with no egg, and some of the curries. Yumm!! There is always a table available, so unless we have a big party we don't make a reservation. read more

We were there for lunch - 5 of us. The service was excellent. 3 of us had a special lunch set (salad, soup, and rice included). The rice can be white or brown (yes to choice!). I ordered an excellent bowl of coconut milk and chicken soup (yum / enough to take some home) and the beef w string beans. The beef was sooooo good that I ate the entire portion. Also enjoyed a Chinese beer. Really wonderful atmosphere too. Can't wait to go back. Plenty of parking too. read more

We have been there many times before the food is always excellent. The service friendly in the ambience very family oriented.

Sweet mango has been around for at least decade(s) and it is a mainstay off the Willow Glen strip. It is mostly Thai but has Chinese and Burmese dishes. We had: - Eggplant vegan dish- idk because our friend who was vegan ate it all. - Pad Thai -5/5 - very tasty - Honey Shrimp Walnut Prawns -3/5 - lots of batter on the shrimp, lettuce had a lot of water on the bottom. - Mango Chicken -5/5- I loved this dish. My favorite for sure. Service is extremely attentive. Bathrooms are clean. The door to the bathroom is a bit tricky so make sure to push in when you go there. There is a parking lot in front with limited spaces. read more

If I could give Sweet Mango more than five stars I would. This was my second time coming here in the span of a few years mostly because it's a bit of a drive for me but it's definitely a spot I recommend and would frequent more regularly if I was closer. I'm surprised at some of the experiences of the lower ratings, and it's too bad they didn't get the full Sweet Mango experience. We dined as a group of three and ordered three entrees, one noodle dish, and one small side of rice. There was plenty of food for all of us to walk out full and with leftovers. I did ask if the food was prepared with MSG and was informed NO MSG. I also didn't get the post-MSG weirdness so I trust she was being truthful. The comments abt MSG on here may be old. We ordered: - green curry chicken 9/10 - pumpkin chicken 9/10 - banana chicken (very sweet) 6/10 - pad kee mao 10/20 The staff was so friendly - smiling and welcoming, and not too overbearing. The restaurant itself was small but busy! They have cute homelike plates that makes it feel very much like you're eating someone's home recipes, made with care and love. Aesthetically it gives long-standing spot (salmon colored walls). We went for and early 4:30 dinner and as we were leaving they were seating folks and constantly popping out to-go orders. I look forward to dining here for years to come and putting new people onto this spot. Thank you for having us tonight! read more

FOOD I love everything here except the tea leaf salad had too much funk taste for our liking. Yes to their mango chicken. Yes to the honey walnut prawns. I would totally order to go here if I lived closer. Thai iced tea could use more Thai tea and less milk for my preference. STAFF has never been a problem whenever I come here. The food comes out fast! PARKING lot is small but there is street parking. INSIDE is not fancy but it's homey feeling. This place has been here for many many years. read more

Picked here based on all the positive reviews, especially for their chow fun. Smelled good when I pulled up to get our to go order but it was not nice food. Everything is extra, so note that. $3 for a small steamed rice to go with our $17 entrees. The tangerine chicken was made with chicken that didn't taste completely fresh. The beef chow fun was flavorless, greasy and the noodles with mushy and awful. It was probably the worst chow fun I've ever had because even when getting a bland one I've never had the noodles be just mush. (Pic shows how many huge clumps weren't even broken apart and were just thick white unseasoned noodles.) The egg rolls were not the worst I've ever had, technically. One time I had egg rolls that tasted and looked like plain sauerkraut was used to fill them. But these were really bad. Essentially inedible. Greasy and filled with huge, stringy pieces of cabbage. It reminded me of the chicken scrap bucket from my childhood. I won't return and can't recommend it to anyone. Also, when I added up my to go order (making sure to include the rice too) it was $45 and yet when I paid it was almost $10 more than the grand total. (I didn't add tax, but $10 for tax seems unhinged and no one gave me a receipt.) read more

Love this place- great vegetarian/vegan options, fresh produce, and great service. We always get as take out and have been eating here for years! read more

Decent food ordered Red Thai Curry , mango eggplant which was just ok. I would give a 3 star for service and ambiance

Service was OK, but the food itself was just competent, not great. Eggplant with fish was tasty but there was not a lot of fish. Beef with string beans had some tough, stringy meat. The name says "sweet mango" but the mango chicken was very sour. It seems like the focus may be on delivery (Uber Eats, etc.) and not on done-in customers. The interior could do with some remodelling. read more

The food here is always delicious!! What I have tried: Eggrolls - good Samosas - very crispy and delicious Popcorn chicken - so flavorful! Red coconut chicken curry - very good, tender chicken. Lunch special Mongolian beef and fried rice, SO good!! Highly recommended. read more

Sweet Mango - Mongolian Beef Lunch Special - Burmese Near Me - San Jose, California

The family and I just went to Sweet Mango for the first time. My wife and daughter are gluten free, so finding Asian food that works is always tough. I have nothing but great things to say about the food and the staff at Sweet Mango. We asked about ordering GF, and were assured what we could and couldn't eat. We found lots of options and ordered. I am not GF so I ordered the tangerine beef. The server told us it was coated in corn starch and not flour. My girls were excited. With in 30 seconds of ordering one of the owners came out and apologized profusely because the sauce is a family recipe that contains regular soy sauce, thus containing gluten. For me, that shows that they really care about their customers. The Hot & Sour soup, chow fun, mango chicken and kung pow (all prepared GF) were fantastic. We will definitely return. read more

3.5/5, rounded up in this case Cute little Thai place a bit separated from Willow Glen strip realistically speaking (just a block or two down). Pad Thai ~3.5/5 - I do think this doesn't get any spice at all, based off no spicy symbol on the menu which kind of sucks as I'd assume most Thai dishes to like to incorporate spice. I'd assume they could add it if you asked but otherwise, as a default its a 3.5. Honey Walnut Chicken 4/5 - Pretty interesting choice, figured I'd try it over the regular prawns. Chicken was okay for juiciness and the honey walnut sauce does make it a great twist. Service is great, waiter is always going around and ensuring you're doing all right. Waiters also seem to be keeping a look out for customers cars in the front as when I came, they came around each table asking who had a white suv in the front as their phone was there. Parking lot is very small, probably about 5-7 cars at most, so do expect to park in either one of the Willow Glen lots or street parking. read more

Last Mango in Paris Locally-owned restaurant serving up Chinese and Burmese cuisine for nearly fifteen years after taking over for the old Siam Square back in 2010. The Good: *Located just a stone's throw from DT Willow Glen *Small private lot, as well as street parking. *Friendly service *Bottled Asian beer *Large menu *Nice décor and ambiance of fancy but casual *Fried spring rolls were very good. Maybe even better than my all-time favorite at King Eggroll. *I saw a post on local sub Reddit a few months back about Burmese Tea Leaf Salad--which I've never had but suddenly needed to--and where to get the best one in The Bay. Sweet Mango was one of those locations and while it took me a minute to finally come check it out, after trying it I'm a believer. Great earthy pesto-like flavor from the imported tea leaves and loved all the crunchy elements. Highly recommend this dish. It's meant to share but I ate the whole thing myself. Oink oink. :8) The Meh: *Five Spice Popcorn chicken was very bland and needed some oomph to it. Just tasted like nice crispy chicken but no other flavors to speak of. *And speaking of oomph, a lot of the dishes lacked that punch of flavor that Asian cuisine is known for. The Ugly: *They really should think about sprucing up the exterior of this place. Definitely a don't judge a book by it's cover type of situation, but still. Maybe dust that cover occasionally. Conclusion: Overall, decent grub in a great location with friendly service. read more

The sauce was not as heavy on flavor as I like it. And usually, most places will let you substitute tofu for a different protein, but this place charges for them. Otherwise, it's fine. Can't comment on the service and ambiance as a colleague got takeout for me. read more

Sweet Mango - Pad Se Ew Noodle with Tofu - Burmese Near Me - San Jose, California

Sweet mango is a local favorite which is known for its flavorful dishes, generous portion sizes and cozy ambience. The menu comprises of dishes across Burmese, Chinese and Thai cuisines which is pretty cool. Few of my all time favorite dishes here are the Kung Pao chicken, Pineapple fried rice, Pad Thai and Mango prawns. A special mention for their amazing mango salad and sticky rice with mangoes - both the dishes are made with fresh mangoes which really enhances the overall taste. Friendly and attentive service. If you love Southeast Asian cuisine, then this is highly recommended. read more

Flavors aren't authentic when you have Thai, Chinese and Burmese cuisines all in one menu. Prices were high for an average tasting dishes. They tasted very similar too, we couldn't tell basil chicken apart from eggplant fish in garlic sauce. Tom Kha soup was comforting and salt and pepper tofu was decent. But tea leaf salad and veg fried rice were disappointing. They charge mandatory 20% gratuity for table of 5 btw. Location is good as it's situated next to the willow Glenn Main Street. read more

I just love coming to this place for some delicious food. It always feels so comfy and the people are nice.

This is my go to Thai spot! The portions are generous and they are always fast and friendly. I've never eaten there, but the vibe is very chill/not fancy. I LOVE their pad Thai, which comes with 2 shrimp, tons of chicken, slices of fried tofu, egg, peanuts, and bean sprouts. I normally eat it for 2-3 days since it's so huge! The crispy eggplant appetizer is amazing as well and my family loves the mango curry with shrimp. If you get to go, ordering it over the phone is cheaper. read more

Great little restaurant in Willow Glen. Service was very good and the food is reasonably priced. We had wor wonton soup , Chinese chicken salad and beef chow fun.

I have only ordered from DoorDash from here, but after eating the food, I would love to come here for a meal sometime. I'm OBSESSED with the mango salad. It's salty and sweet and gets some vegetables in! I've tried a couple of other things on the menu, but keep defaulting back to the mango salad. It is just SO good! The noodles are also pretty delicious as well. I'll have to update my review when I actually get a chance to dine in here. They definitely take care in packaging their food for to-go orders. I've never had any issues when opening up my orders from them. read more

Sweet Mango is a little hidden gem located in Willow Glen. I've been here a few times now and it's always a great experience. The service is fast and friendly, plus the food is consistently delicious. The red curry prawns are at the top of my list and the fried rice was scrumptious. read more

Sweet Mango - Red curry prawns - Burmese Near Me - San Jose, California

I was on yelp looking for a good Chinese food place to have dinner at. I have my to go place but it's a bit of a drive so I was looking for something closer. I felt adventurous lol I saw Sweet Mango which had excellent reviews so I decided to give it a try! It is located in the willow glen area but not on the Main Street which was nice. They have their own parking lot which is a plus! Let's get down to the food and service. Walking in, we were greeted immediately and sat down with no wait which was super cool. Their menus (forgot to take a picture smh) is on the older side with some pictures but looks like it can use some TLC. This is what we decided to try: War won ton soup (not pictured) : 8/10 Soup flavor was good but both my fiancé and my daughter said the actual wonton had a salty taste almost like a salami. I liked it though! Veggies tasted good and the broth was delicious. Perfect for a cold night! Pot stickers (not pictured): 8/10 They were cooked very nicely but the sauce they came with was some what on the sweet side so not sure how I felt about that. My daughter and fiancé loved them though. Honey walnut shrimp: 7/10 The cooking on the shrimps were all over the place here lol flavor was good but some shrimps had more breading, some were over cooked for my liking and some were perfect. Still very yummy. Combo Chinese fried rice: 9/10 This was one of my favorite things! Btw I love fried rice haha. It had big shrimps and other proteins in here and it was cooked really delicious. I like chili oil with my rice and I'm surprised because these tables had nothing on them. No siracha, no soy, no chili oil so I was bummed. I asked towards the end so that's why I docked it a point. So good though! Chicken kung pao: 6/10 This was probably my least fav thing. Not because of the flavor, but because of the execution of the dish itself. The chicken was cut way too small for my liking and the veggies were humongous. The flavor was there just wish it was a bit more spicy. Service: 8/10 Service was super cool. I wish we were offered chili oil and other things for our food so I will dock that but they were for the most part attentive. Once we received the chili oil, it looked super old and it was on the darker side when I poured it over my rice. I will say that it had a good taste but I feel like that's been sitting for a while Overall, this place was not bad. I will stick to my regular spot though but I might give them another try in the near future and try other dishes again. read more

A neighborhood institution, what can I say about Sweet Mango that hasn't been said before? The ambiance is unpretentious. The menu reflects years of customer input to the owners. I got the usual suspects: sesame chicken and chinese style fried rice. They didn't miss. Price is right. Flavor was right. Like many, I'll be back to eat through the rest of the menu. read more
