Great food, excellent service and a wide variety on offer. Don't let the setting, furniture and ambiance put you off - certainly don't do the food any justice.
Quaint little unpretentious restaurant sandwiched between Joops Place and 9th avenue bistro
Went for quick dinner and they were fast efficient and friendly.
Ordered prawn dim sum - delicious but dim sum did disintegrate
Main was their famous crispy duck with noodles - outstanding
Don't expect great decor but food is above average
Perfect for take-away or quick meal
Love it. Our favorite Durban restaurant at the moment. Good service, nice and casual. Caters to all our families varied tastes. The crispy duck and chicken for us (phenomenal), sushi for the daughter and son in law and noodles for son. The stir fried veggies are also a big hit
Being in Durban for one night on a business trip, my boss suggested this spot as its low key & not far from the hotel.
They have a small selection of Durban craft bears.
I ordered the beach salad which was quite surprising with its bed of crunchy spinach topped with chicken strips and a light dressing.
Absolutely amazing.
The service is friendly and homely.
The food was great. I had the crispy duck and my partner the Fujiyama combo, both, thoroughly enjoyed. And the espresso to finish of the evening was priceless.
When we went ages ago to the Durban venue the food and the choices we had were excellent. When will the new Green Mango in
Umhlanga be reviewed?
If the name of the game is sushi, Green Mango definitely takes a prize. It's always great to see your sushi made in front of you , the added bonus is that the chef is legit Japanese ( makes it even cooler /authentic). Ingredients are fresh and prepared pretty quickly. More than Satisfying for a sushi craving. Their speciality sushi is also good if you want to let your tastebuds explore a tad.
I visited Green Mango for the 4th time last evening with a monthly dinner companion. Fortunately I had taken the trouble to reserve a table because by 19.30hrs the restaurant was full.
Oddly we both chose the same main course of crispy duck served with noodles. The duck was crispy and delicious. If I order the duck again I may try it with fries rice. Out starter was a share dim sum which too was commendable.
Our food was accompanied by a reasonably priced Savignon Blanc which was recommended by the ever present and efficient Ashley.
A restaurant that needs no background music as it is alive with customers conversations and laughter is to me a happy restaurant and I do not hesitate in recommending this eatery.
We will definitely visit again soon.
Stumbled upon this restaurant whilst in search of good sushi. We had a fantastic experience! The sushi was great and the service was excellent. We were provided with advice on our selection and encouraged to try the Green Mango signature sushi which did not disappoint. We will definitely be back!
A cosy restaurant in a secure location with tables inside or out in the building walkway. Serving traditional Asian cuisine consisting of Thai, Japanese and Sushi options, one is definitely spoilt for choice at the Green Mango. Generous portion sizes, specialty dishes in a variety of options (whether your preference is vegetable, chicken, beef etc.) a full service bar and friendly service from the manager makes the Green Mango a definite go-to if you're craving a taste of the Far East.
Really good food, a little on the expensive side but well worth it. Service is good too. Great spot for lunch or a little romantic date.
Nice little cozy place with amazing food and service.
I was unexpectedly impressed with The Green Mango. Even though it is quite small, it was packed when we dined, and for good reason! The food was lovely, we enjoyed the chilli and basil noodle dish, which was generous in portion, however a bit too spicy for my taste. The sushi was incredibly fresh and tasty, best I've had in a while! Waiter was friendly, however a bit forgetful, but not to be blamed as he seemed to be the only waiter attending the entire restaurant that night. Overall, a cosy restaurant with spectacular cuisine.
I really enjoyed the deliciously fresh tasting salmon roses and the deep fried ice cream. I'd like to come back to try the crispy duck, which i saw someone order . The restaurant is quaint and a lovely choice as a romantic night out.
AMAZING! We had a craving for crispy duck pancakes and decided to order a whole bunch of starters, everything was totally delicious, we thoroughly enjoyed, the crispy duck, corn cakes, dimsum, satay and spring rolls, we will be back soon. Our server, Kyle was attentive but not invasive. We will be back!
So grateful to Duane and the team for helping to make a special function for our colleague extra special. Outstanding personalized service, excellent food and a friendly professional venue all round - highly recommended and will definitely be back!
Green Mango is my go-to place to get Sushi. Plus some specials like the crispy duck, angry duck (it is pretty angry), whole fish, crab, and at the end of the meal some deep fried ice-cream. Its not a chain - its a one-man -and-his-wife operation, so quality control is excellent. During the day, booking is not normally needed. At night its better to call first. Parking is easy.
This is a lovely little tucked away authentic Asian restaurant that also serves sushi. We always enjoy our meal here. They serve a lovely miso soup and the owner gives top notch service.
