Ever eat at Sweet Mango (prior to the recent change in ownership) on Whyte Ave and 91 St.? This is the "Modern Vietnamese Bistro" version.

Date: November 27, 2010
Occasion: late lunch while running errands. Saw the sign, thought we'd check it out.
Found out they've been open since August 2010.
Ambience: 7/10 Looks like they made the effort with this location. Small, only 1000 square feet. Love the pictures and the vibrant colours.
Service: 8/10 Order and they bring it to the table. Except pop - self serve. Was really fast. Cashier noted we hadn't been there before, mentioned it to chef in back, she came to see how we liked it. Were all very friendly.
Drinks: Mrs. CDW got her iced vietnamese coffee 6/10 (like more sweet!). Mr. CDW served himself some pop.
Entrees: Mr. CDW had soup (mini wonton soup - wontons had a bit of heat in them, unique and tasty) & sandwich (pork meatball - spicy aioli that worked well) deal, came with pop 7/10. Mrs. CDW order Grilled Lemongrass (pork) sandwich - chili oil in sauce that worked great (forgot to mention hold the carrots-oops!). On baguettes that were super crunchy, and can't forget the final topping - fresh cilantro.
Price: $.
Food issues: have tofu versions for sandiwch, bowls, even veggie fish sauce.
Take out seems popular.
Will likely go back to try other things (vermicelli bowl anyone?), especially since it's not far away from us.
