| - After spending nearly eight hours in the car on Saturday, my partner and I were in desperate need of sustenance and decided to finally try the Green Mango.
What a wonderful meal.
I ordered the Drunken Noodles with chicken, which were good and spicy, a bit too oily, but exactly the sort of dish you'd want to order if you've had a few beers.
The star of the night, however, was the bowl of Chiang Mai Noodles with beef. Wow. My first impression of the sauce was that it was a bit too sweet, but after the heat kicked in, everything was just right - the noodles were soft but not gummy, the beef was seared nicely and dropped into the hot liquid along with the noodles and a generous handful of veggies. It was really a big bowl of comfort food with this sweet, salty, hot, spicy broth.
I'd go back for another bowl tonight.
Another note - the meat components to both of our dishes (chicken and beef) seemed to be pretty nice. Nothing spectacular, but I'm pretty picky about the meat I eat, and I don't deal well with fat, gristle, or any of the other squirrely bits that one so frequently encounters in middle-of-the-road Asian restaurants. The Green Mango did a good job of sending out well-cleaned, tasty bites of chicken and beef.
Thanks, Green Mango!
