Johnny Mango World Cafe & Bar

I am a little bit in a debate with myself on whether to give a 4 or 5 since I think it really depends on what you order. It can be a hit or a miss here. The space and the service have been good the two times we have been here and we actually went back a second time because I really enjoyed the food the first time. We got a burrito, a quesadilla, and nachos to share which were really good and tasty! I really recommend those and their drinks are great too. But the second time around I wanted to try something different and decided to try their Pad Thai which was a mistake, it was pretty tasteless, the texture was strange, and it was so hard for me to eat, I ended up leaving most of it on my plate unfortunately and that really messed up my experience.

Wow, this place was really good!I met a friend for brunch in Ohio City, and the place we planned to go had a 45 minute wait, so we went for a walk and to see what else was open. Johnny Mango was open, and had plenty of tables at 10:30, but had filled up by the time we left. My friend sold me on the place as a Mexican restaurant, but it isn't that. The food is fresh and healthy, with creative options, and an intriguing juice bar! Because my friend had been there, I just duplicated her order - chicken and black bean quesadilla, with avocado. We got the Big Plate to try the sides. Wow. The quesadilla is stuffed, but not super cheesy, which until now, I didn't know was an option. The tortilla is cooked so that it crisps up, and looked too big to finish, but I was wrong. Sides today were Jasmine rice and the Happy Beans, which were cannelini beans today. They were so good! and a slaw that was great! I had coffee and a fizzy mango lime spritz juice that wasn't too sweet but tasted great. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some of their Big Plates - the chicken dishes look intriguing, and some of the apps looked pretty good too! They also have a rotating margarita section....

Too bad I didn't get to try the food today Sunday, 2/2 at 1:15pm even though the hours clearly state that the restaurant is open. I drove all the way to the restaurant for nothing since it's closed and should not be. Bummer!

The food was so delicious. We had the fried tofu and vegan nachos to start with. Then we had mushroom quesadillas and a veggie wrap. So good, and very affordable. We good 2 entrees to go another mushroom quesadilla and the bus boy plate. I almost didn't get the busboy plate as the veggie was spaghetti squash with marinara sauce. I have never liked it before but they did it and I loved it!

Johnny Mango is by far my favorite restaurant in town. The ambiance is super laid back and the staff are the best.During this visit I enjoyed a Chicken Quesadilla Big Plate, which comes with the happy beans, rice, slaw and fried banana on the side. This is one of my go to meals when I visit. I've never had a bad experience here, that's why I keep coming back. Sidenote: They have the best margaritas in town.

After reading some of the reviews on here, my mom and I were concerned about going. However, the location was close and the menu looked up our alley, so we decided to give it a shot. We are really glad we did. All of our food was awesome and our service was amazing. Luke was very attentive to our needs, very nice, and super helpful with recommending options. It wasn't too loud and they were happy to put the Olympics on the TV for us, so we really liked the atmosphere. Lastly, one of the best parts is how awesome the drinks are. Wow, they're strong but also very tasty. We didn't order any sweet drinks, so I can't speak to those, but the drinks we ordered were amazing. We highly recommend to try this place.

I've been to this restaurant a handful of times and I'm happy to share a review. This place feels local, homey and welcoming. I'm pretty sure you just come in and sit down, no host stand. The bar was packed on this Friday evening but the two of us found a spot immediately. It's loud, busy, close quarters but worth it. Our server was fast and balancing a lot of tables well! We started with a couple juices, a mango tango and a kale aid. Both were phenomenal! For appetizers we tried the calypso salad which was nice - the small isn't small! The miso soup (supersized) - lots of seasoning and umami. I loved it so much I could barely wait for it to cool down. And then the fried tofu! The tofu itself was done just right but I wanted the sweet dipping to have more zing or more creamy because it didn't add much to the blank canvas that is tofu. For dinner we had the jackfruit burrito - absolutely delicious but probably a good idea to use a fork and knife eventually. Our second entree choice was the vegan fried rice. I enjoyed the cool vegetable addition which is outside the norm! Overall my stomach is very satisfied with all the wonderful flavors from Johnny Mango! I know we'll be back again. Thank you!

Visited Johnny Mango with family due to a recent birthday party there. I knew in advance that we would be visiting because it was to be a surprise gathering, so I had time to review the menu. Parking can be a challenge in this neighborhood, so expect that when you visit.The building that this venue is situated in is large, but the venue within the building is very small - one room. We were seated at the back of the room next to the kitchen. Our waitress was fast and attentive, but she didn't get my dinner request correct. Initially, I requested a regular margarita, which was just okay, if not a little weak. I had a second one and it was also weak. Then I drank some of my cousin's pitcher of frozen margarita and it was also weak.For dinner, I requested shrimp fried rice as it looked appetizing and a person at the table suggested it. A good while later, I was served chicken fried rice and my waitress asked if she would like me to have the kitchen make shrimp fried rice, as that is what I requested. I agreed and while everyone was eating, they asked me where my food was. About 10 minutes later, I was served shrimp fried rice along with bread and some kind of dark brown spread. Well, the dark brown spread was darn tasty and I ate all of it on the bread. Very good. The shrimp fried rice was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The food quality was very good.My wife enjoyed her Bangkok chicken, but she didn't care for the rest of her plate. She said the chicken was delicious and I agreed. I loved the greens it was served with - those were legit.Since this place is so far from home, we probably won't make a special visit unless there is another family gathering.

Everything. Early on a Friday night and they were out of everything. Horrible service. Food was just so-so. Won't go back and I recommend not ever going.

The bbq chicken is f***ing incredible. Seriously. The fruit juices are always a great addition to any meal and are super refreshing. The atmosphere is a more bar-style if that makes any sense. I highly recommend and have never been let down by Johnny mango
