| - 2.5 stars. (but a 3 when added to my prior experience here). We visited here on December 27 for lunch. This was supposed to be a nice last meal with Uncle Daniel before he flew back to California. However, there was only one server and two people in the kitchen, so what should have been a quick lunch went well over an hour. I know Johnny Mango's limitations-- their hard chairs and close tables, as well as the drafts from outside, anytime the door opens especially. However, I didn't expect the long wait for the food, or my mom getting the wrong burrito. Phil, dad, and I all ordered variations on the Pad Thai, with me getting chicken. Daniel ordered the flank steak salad, which he really enjoyed. Phil liked his vegetable pad Thai, though he wasn't thrilled about it. I liked mine, though I felt like there were not enough noodles. Dad had enough for leftovers. Mom ordered the solo burrito with beans and feta but instead got the roasted veggies, which was strange considering the server repeated our orders and checked mom's again before going to the kitchen. At first he wasn't going to do anything about the mistake, even though the roasted veggies a a little bit more than the beans and feta. Later, he did take it off the check, but the experience left us a little sour.
Don't get me wrong, I do like Johnny Mango, and I especially appreciate that their menus are well labeled for vegan and gluten free. And they have such a wide variety of dishes that everyone should find something to like. And the use of Westside Market fresh vegetables is great, as are all the great juices and smoothies. But I felt really disappointed after this last visit. I hope the next time I come, I will be able to report better service etc.
