The best value Thai in London. Ridiculously cheap for the quality of food. Great service, great atmosphere. Fantastic specials.

Been here once on thursday. Quite a large menu, lovely food, polite service in a casual, relaxed setting. Place was busy which is usually a good sign! I will definitely be going back!

I am a soho local and go to this place for take out a lot - and have usually been very impressed with the food and service

On Sunday 30 March I went in for takeout and as usual, sat down to wait. After 30 minutes, I asked if the food was almost ready - and was met with a curt reply by the waiter "we are very busy so please wait"

I waited anoter 15 minutes before finally asking for a refund.

The waiter offered no apology or warning that the food would take so long - I could not believe it.

I will never go here again

Simple but tasty - a find in this area and at the right price. The service was efficient and the dishes served at the right temperature. I will return.

I am happy to be at work today as I am meeting my friend @ Mangosteen for lunch.

It is one od my very favourite places and the duck soup with noodles and aniseed is just amazing!!!

It's cheap, it's amazing food and I would recommend it to everyone!

The Rose is nice too!

This place is simple and effective, which is why I go back time after time. I don't know anything about Thai food but I love the way Mangosteen food tastes. Last night, we had, among other thingd, the chilli fish which was crispy, spicy, sweet and tangy. Do try Mangosteen because I would be surprised if you were disappointed.

We went to this place last week and were really impressed with the food and equally so the price. Their service was also very good - very likeable people who were quick with service and very helpful with questions about the menu. Would absolutely recommend this place - an unexpected gem so close to Oxford Circus.

Date 19th December 2007

Last evening I visited the Mangosteen restaurant with work colleagues - a total of 10 diners.

Service was quick and efficient - wine glasses were sparkling clean.

The downstairs restaurant was very busy and extremely noisy - the chances of having a quiet meal were nil.

The main complaints I have are regarding the food :-

1. All our meals were served on cold plates

2. The bowl of rice was stone cold on the top but after a quick stir - the warmer rice was revealed - it seemed the bowl had been heated in a micro wave

3. I chose the "spicy chicken soup" spicy is not really the correct word as it was so hot (tastewise) that I was seriously worried I had permanently damaged my tongue !!

I am pleased to report that I found f our small pieces of chicken in the bowl.

Eaten here a couple of times - usually just for lunch. Went with a group of 8 people this past Friday night. The restaurant was full, but service good, food was really great, and all in all a pleasant evening.

For the area, it's cheap as chips, but that doesn't mean second rate food in the slightest. One of my favorite restaurants in the area.

I've now been to this restaurant twice. On both occasions the food has been fantastic and excellent value for money. I am unfamiliar with Thai cuisine generally so cannot offer a comparison with other restaurants. I must write though that the food here tastes sublime surpassing all expectations. The service too is excellent being attentive without being overly so.
