Green Mango

This modern and trendy Sushi, Japanese and Thai restaurant is very vibey and busy and is located in the Avonmore Centre in 9th Avenue, Morningside.  It has an indoor as well as an outdoor seating area, a sushi counter and a bar.  The decor incorporates bold colours like green and black and the furnishings are modern with clean lines and dark wood is a predominant feature.  The Thai owners are incredibly warm and welcoming and make patrons feel at home immediately.  Many of the guests are greeted by name so it seems they have established a regular clientele.

 

The menu is varied and delightful to consider.  Starters include Thai Spring Rolls, Chicken Satays and starter platters for 1 with a combination of Chili Calamari, Crispy Wanton, Thai Spring Roll and Chicken Satay.  There are eight delicious soup options as well as eight salads to choose from including the Three Friend Salad which is a mixture of chicken, calamari, prawn and cashew nut with Thai spicy and Thai chili dressing.  Additionally there are red, green and country style curries which include coconut milk as well as Wok stir-fries which can be ordered with chicken, beef, prawn, fish, calamari or vegetables.  The Japanese section includes Tempura, Tapan Yaki, Sashimi, Maki Sushi, Nigiri Sushi, California Rolls, Temaki Hand Roll Sushi and Sushi Combos and Platters.  The Chef recommends Chef's Sandwich which consists of six pieces - two types of fish topped on nori seaweed, sushi rice, spring onions and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

 

Don't forget to ask about the daily Specials which include the most exceptional dishes, like Crispy Duck, prepared with a sweet, black honey sauce,  bursting with flavour, served with stir fry noodles or the E-San fillet which is sliced, mildly spicy but absolutely tender gently pan-fried fillet prepared with spring onion, mint and coriander.  The Specials change regularly and largely depend on the availability of the freshest locally available ingredients.
