The Green Mango Noodle Hut

***Sadly, I found out shortly after writing my review that the Green Mango is now CLOSED. I will have to satisfy my cravings at their Monroeville location!

I love this place. Food is delicious and affordable. Their pineapple curry is awesome with the perfect level of spiciness

Exactly what we’ve been looking for! We came at lunch and tried some home style spicy basil fried rice with chicken and spicy drunken noodles with beef. Then we realized both things were too spicy for our baby so we ordered an additional crispy tofu salad with the spicy (sensing a theme?) lime dressing on the side. The spicy fried rice was really good although I didn’t see any basil in it. The noodle portion was a little bit on the small side and a little on the oily side. I prefer Cantonese versions of dry fried beef noodle. The salad was a good size with lots of crispy fried tofu. There were so many options on the lunch menu as well as smoothies and bubble tea. We ate outside to enjoy the last bit of summer and so our child could throw food all over the sidewalk without us feeling too guilty. I would come back and try their noodle soups on a colder day.

Went for lunch and had excellent food at a great price. Recommend ordering the food «family style» (which is more traditional anyway) so everybody gets to try everything.

Love the Thai fried rice. The tofu is always done perfectly!

The food was good but the management seems to lack judgment. When a child spilled a glass of milk at the next table, they sent over someone with a stinky mop and a bucket of a strong-​smelling chemical for cleanup. The chemical smell was so bad we complained and had to move to a table on the opposite side of the dining area. Then a few minutes later, while we were starting to eat, the manager came to the empty table adjacent to ours and started to clean the glass table covering with Windex. We couldn’t believe that after we complained about one chemical smell that the manager would subject us to another smell. This really detracted from our enjoyment of our meal. I can’t imagine the owner or manager in a top restaurant allowing this to happen.

Consistently good contemporary thai. Order in or get it to go. Favorites are the Noodle Hut Special spicy tom yum soup that I order w both chicken AND shrimp and the Glass Noodle Salad in that yummy lemon-​lime sauce.
Everything is fresh and made to order. Nice selection of hot teas too.
The summer rolls are not very flavorful though — basically just bland vermicelli w a lot of lettuce and a hunk of shrimp in the Shrimp version.
Kids love chicken on a stick w/​side of white rice. Super nice wait staff too. Bathroom is tiny and clean.

Decent thai food and the location is great (we stop by after movies at the Regent Square theater). Their bubble smoothies are on the sweet side but they happily accommodated my request for a no sugar/​cream added drink. The green curry was nicely balanced and coconuty, the duck soup was ok but overwhelming.
I’d recommend it as an intimate yet friendly dinner option.

So far, Green Mango is my new favorite Thai restaurant. We came here with a friend, a regular patron, who introduced us to the owner and the rest of the staff. Everyone was so nice and it felt like you were with close friends who put love into the food. Every dish we ordered was spiced and cooked to perfection. As I’m writing this review my mouth is salivating for some pineapple curry and pad thai! I can’t wait to go back.

Very Good Thai, we had the pad thai, spring rolls and chicken salad. All were good, prices are reasonable, will be back often

I like it, but not as much as I love The Smiling Banana Leaf…
This place is quaint, cute, good, and BYOB… all pluses in my book. The food was good but I had branched out and gotten something different this time around than I normally would so it is hard to compare completely.
The Lemongrass Chicken was great– nice flavor. Spring rolls were good too. Service was quick (not too friendly though).

Small, comfortable with very polite servers.
I love Tom Yum soup and the Spicy Noodle Hut Special didn’t disappoint. It’s very spicy and very filling.

This used to be my favorite Thai restaurant but now it’s rather bad. The quality of the food is poor and the dishes aren’t as flavorful as they once were.
Tonight I had the Pad Thai and it was overcooked and greasy. When the check came, they overcharged me for it. $ 11.50 for bad pad thai in pittsburgh is steep!
I think the green mango was once a good restaurant that established a name for itself and has now slipped in ingredients and quality while raising their prices.

This is very good Thai food… maybe not the best in Pittsburgh, but very good just the same. I’m stuck on green curry, and have been for the past couple of years, so I know that’s good here, as are the Prik Khing, Tom Yum soup and spring rolls. I like the cozy vibe here, and the service is always friendly, if not always efficient. I don’t live in this neighborhood, but if I did, I’d be here often.

It seems like the people of Regent Square consider this to be the best Thai in Pittsburgh. It definitely is great, I’ll just leave it at that.
The inside can handle more people than, say, The Smiling Banana Leaf and the menu is much more expansive. The first time I was here I had their spicy beef soup and it nearly melted my face it was so hot. The ingredients went great together and it was perfect on a cold day.
On my second trip I ordered their pad thai which was just okay. There really wasn’t anything special about it and they put way too many peanuts on top.
The service is impeccable and the interior is roomy enough to be comfortable. It gets very busy on the weekends but in the end, that just means its good.

Had a BYO Wine Night here last night. Such perfect weather too. I ordered the Pad See Ew with chicken which was really good. The service was decent too considering how slammed they were and how big our group was. And my FAVORITE thing to get in the summer is the Coconut Sticky Rice with Fresh Mango!!! Too bad its not in season all the time. Its a must have while its summer though!
The only negative experience was getting splinters from the chairs. The OUTDOOR chairs are a bit too weathered and brittle. Me and 3 of my girlfriends, all got splinters from the chairs. I got 2 in my hand and one on my bum! I alerted the owner of this so that they might remedy the problem with cushions/​covers/​new chairs. But until they do this… I recommend sitting on your jacket and being very careful when you pull your chair in and out!

To be fair, I will note that I’ve only been to Green Mango Noodle Hut one time.
I went with a friend’s recommendation for the Tom Kha soup (which is my favorite dish at Thai Cuisine) and the fresh spring rolls. I asked very clearly about chicken/​beef stock and fish sauce and the server assured me that the soup was completely vegetarian.
The soup contained fish sauce. I am not morally offended but I do have an acute aversion to the flavor. Unrelated to my request, I also think that they dilute their coconut milk with dairy, a common cost cutting trick at «cheap» Asian restaurants.
The spring rolls were good, though the dipping sauce was boring (like straight from a jar).
Mid-​way through the meal, the server threw our check onto the table. Um, good thing I wasn’t going to mention the issue with my soup! And my friend, she didn’t need that ice cream she had wanted for dessert!
Then, as if we weren’t still sitting there, the server cleared some PBR cans from the table next to us and set them on our table!
Is it unfair to say that I will not return?

My Girl Posse and I had a Sunday girl’s night out and we stopped here for dinner before heading over to the Regent Square Theatre. I wasn’t exactly in the mood for Thai food, but are there no other decent places open in Regent Square on a Sunday?
For appetizers we ordered the Summer Rolls, which are green leaf lettuce, mint, cilantro, basil, vermicelli, all in thin rice paper. We had ours filled with roast duck and they were perfect on a June evening. My main course was Lemon Grass Chicken. The chicken was very tender and the ginger sauce didn’t overpower it. For dessert we ordered the Ginger Balls, which is rolled rice flour balls stuffed with black seasame seeds. Deliciously different!
So yeah, even though we came here by default, it was a pretty good choice.

I quite enjoyed the dinner I had here and would definitely return. Friendly service, excellent food… Seems on a par quality wise with Bankok Balcony in Squirrel Hill. Fairly small inside.

Small Thai place in the Regent Square neighborhood. On my last night in Pittsburgh, my sister and her family (niece, nephew and brother in law) took me out to this nice small Thai restaurant for dinner. I have been to lots of Thai places so this is being judged based on my experiences. My sister only goes to places she likes so this had better be good. We brought a bottle of wine, no corkage fee and they have glasses you can use for the wine but the Cork incident (the corkscrew didn’t work very well, it could have been a nightmare because my sister would argue all night long that it was my brother in law’s fault, it wasn’t, the cork was just not the best). However it passed after we got our delicious first course. An appetizer of Roast Duck summer/​spring rolls. It was very good and kudos for something unique. Who would have thought roast duck. I knew it cost more but we all enjoyed it. We ordered 2 plates and it added up to 24 pieces that were cut up already. The kids loved it.
Drinks, I ordered Thai iced tea, it was fine but the rest of the group ordered themselves some smoothies (now its already fall in Pittsburgh and prettty cool outside) and they enjoyed the pumpkin, coconut (with boba) and the mango flavors.
Entrees, we had larb, pork fried rice, roast duck curry, beef curry and for my niece she wanted vegetable surprise (ideal for vegetarians-​no meat necessary).
All of the food was great, a little disappointed on the roast duck on my curry (amount, sliced really small). That withstanding, all the whole meal was filling and great. We had no room for dessert and even brought some leftovers. For all of that (I peaked), about 101 dollars plus tax. Not bad for a meal for 5 people including the smoothies.
I don’t know when I will be back to Pittsburgh but would feel very comfortable having dinner or lunch with people in this small place.
