Mango Tree

Mango Tree offers Washingtonians a taste of authentic Thai cuisine complemented by selected wines and hand-crafted cocktails, served with our signature warm hospitality. Located in Downtown DC’s signature neighborhood, City Center DC.

Founder and ceo pitaya phanphensophon of Mango Tree, the global restaurant group, has brought one of the world’s most innovative and best-known thai culinary lifestyle brands to the nation’s capital within the cutting edge, stylish CityCenterDC. The restaurant offers contemporary thai cuisine with a bold new twist, along with authentic essential classics.

Founded in 1994, the original Mango Tree is located in a beautiful thai house in bangkok built during the reign of king rama vi, almost 100 years ago. The restaurant’s name is derived from the ancient mango tree planted in front of the house. We recently discovered the person who planted the tree, who is currently living in dc! Over 20 years, Mango Tree has planted flagship stores in some of the most sophisticated cities including london, tokyo, osaka, hong kong, dubai and manila.

Lázaro rosa-violán, winner of the coveted 2013 architectural digest españa prize and one of spain’s most dazzling design talents, is responsible for designing the 6,800-square foot space, which draws inspiration from thailand with a twist of european sophistication. Mango Tree’s sleek design scheme makes it an ideal gathering place for meeting with friends or entertaining clients.

“The restaurant is an airy space that is fresh and bright,” says rosa-violán of lázaro rosa-violán studio. The usage of dark wood mixed with cement tiles, highlighted with decorative flowers and multi-color fabrics “is in tune with Mango Tree’s culture and also reflects the beauty and abundance of thailand.” Decorative lighting fixtures are also a key feature, and a must in terms of drawing attention at night. “You must ensure the restaurant is spectacular even from the outside.”
