Reviews for Mangrove Kitchen in San Francisco, CA

I really wanted to give this place a chance despite all the other reviews. I decided to get the duck since no one else... complained about it. Turns out it was terribly tough and if I hadn’t been on a first date I would have sent that backimmediately, which is not in my nature. Couldn’t even finish it. It was the chefs pic so I thought it would be a safechoice. Apparently it’s chefs pic because they just grab pieces out of a scorching 6 pan and throw it on a plate with somesauce and broccoli stems and call it a day for $30. 2 stars because service wasn’t terrible.

10$ Tom Yum + $2.50 rice is generous!

Food was awfully sweet. We got the pad see eiw was sweeter than a birthday cake, the ramen was a little less sweet but the “24... hour slow cooked beef” was stone-hard! How can this be 24 hr slow cooked! Read more

Worst food i have had in san francisco so far. I have been to Thailand, have had Thai food thousand times and have never had a... food this bad. The drunken noodle tasted like a pastry, the beef was chewy, the ramen(!?) Had big chunks of chewy cheap beef init. I have never experienced anything like this before. Don’t understand how it could have 4.2 avg stars…maybe paid reviews?Who knows. Read more

Everything has a sweet flavor including the Kai Ramen and Green Curry. Not my favorite flavor profile. Also, hot water was... $1.50. Read more

So delicious! They were out of the ramen I wanted but put together a “similar” ramen. It had some crunchy ramen on top,... beef, and red curry. Divine! Got Pad See Eiw to go, which was great too, but Ramen was the star. Can’t wait to return and trymore. Read more

Incredible food!! You must get a curry ramen. I was skeptical at first, but it’s delicious. I got the soft shell crab ramen... with yellow curry. The caramel soft boiled egg in it was one of the best eggs in ramen I’ve had. Also the noodles were chewyand high quality. Pork belly is also very good, though my bf wish it had a bit more pork belly haha. Pineapple fried rice had aspectacular presentation and was very flavorful. They unfortunately didn’t have cocktails the night we went, but they lookdelicious on the menu so we can’t wait to try them when we get back. The cab red wine is actually very good, would recommend aglass. Read more
