Red Mango

Red mango is one of my favorite yogurt stores, but I feel like their quality is not what it used to be. Generally all their flavors were good, but now it could be a hit or a miss. I’d say the original, pomegranate and the taro flavors are a definite hit. I do wish they had colorful mochi toppings though.
Regardless of the recent disappointment, my boyfriend and I are always down to take a trip to red mango when we are craving froyo. I’m giving this place 3 stars only because there’s nothing super special about it.

I really enjoy this place. There s usually plenty of parking, which is always great. The place itself has 5 – 6 tables and a couple of tables outside. They give you small cups to sample flavors, which is also super nice.
The selection is great, from salty and sweet to sour, it’s guaranteed to satisfy any cravings. Thestaff is sweet and friendly, very nice people. Cool place, would definitely recommend checking it out.

Great spot to get any of your frozen yogurt or smoothie fix.
There is the one of the best servers/​cashiers I have had by the name of Huyen. Always a pleasure when she is there; anything from suggestions of what to get to professional service.
Highly recommended.

I don’t usually come to this red mango because it’s never open early which is a complete bummer, stopped by today for a yummy smoothie and was greeted by «Cal» who I have to say is a COMPLETE gem, although I walked in while he was getting swamped I waited for him to make my drink (because I know this industry is not as easy as it looks) while waiting we chatted it up, shame on whomever didn’t cut up enough fruit the night before! -.- He was very friendly, and quick, and professional. Safe to say that even though the hours at this location are not inviting, I will come back because of the service I received today. thanks Cal!

Like many places I review, it’s obviously a chain, so I’m just going to highlight the things specific to this location.
*They do NOT have popping boba, which I love, in spite of knowing they’re 100% processed sugar. Boba aren’t kosher, so they don’t carry them, which is very, very sad.
*They almost never have a chocolate flavor, or if they do, it’s the dark chocolate sorbetto which contains sugar alcohols. I have no real issue with the artificiality of the ingredients, but I don’t much care for the icy-​ness and how quickly it melts. Other times, they’ll have chocolate, but it’s chocolate/​nut, and frankly, I just want it plain! All of this to say, you might be out of luck if you want chocolate. Please, can you stock it standard?
*They’re nice in this location — never had an issue with an employee.
*They have some leatherette chairs to lounge on, which is great — much more comfy than sitting in an upright chair. Granted, they’re often taken, but nice they have them.
Otherwise, it’s the usual — this location is self serve, ask for the sample cups. I still give them a 4 because I think their yogurt is better than Menchies or Forever Yogurt.

Went in tonight, fully intending on getting my favorite banana-​peanut butter smoothie. Instead, the girl working sold me on their new green smoothie: banana, green apple, avocado, spinach and kale. It was on special for $ 3.50. And it was DELICIOUS. Next time though, I think I will ask for it without the green apple. That overpowered the other flavors a bit. (And I’m not sure why a banana would be in a green smoothie??) Anyway, I liked it, and I felt great drinking it! Yeah!

Great place to get tasty yogurt. I’m not sure about how healthy the stuff actually is but I’d like to think that it beats your typical ice cream. The thing that I love about this place as with similar franchises is that they allow you to sample all of the flavors before deciding on The one you want. Another wonderful thing about the place is that you get to decide how much or how little yogurt you want because you dispense it yourself. And if toppings are up your alley there are several different ones to select from. The price is reasonable and you will not go broke after paying a visit to here like you would at Oberweiss. In terms of atmosphere, I wouldn’t probably choose to enjoy my ice cream in their lobby. The reason being is there is a lot of giddy and hyper over joyous teenagers here. However if you’re in high school definitely come check out the eye candy and tried to flirt your way into getting some phone numbers from girls of similar age. I know I would if I were you in the middle of enjoying my youth with hormones raging.

I used to love Red Mango when I first got hooked on yogurt & smoothies but slowly when I tried other nearby yogurt places, I realized they don’t change/​add flavors that frequently as other places do. I just wish they would have better deals, especially for members

I love Red mango. I personally would rather prefer froyo over ice cream. The service is decent. Nothing out of the ordinary, not rude not the best. My favorite flavor is original ALL THEY WAY. Nothing can top the original flavor. My second flavor is taro. Usually when I go to red mango, I either get one of those two. Nothing else, really. I try to taste other flavors or new flavors and see what else is good but my personally favorite are those. After those two flavors, I would recommend the sorbet or fruity flavors.
I also love the toppings as well. I usually just get fruit most of the time like strawberry and mango. The mango doesn’t look so ripped or the strawberry looks kind of mushy but I’m not as picky so I dont mind as much. The sweets I put in is usually coconut and brownie’s/cheesecake. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I’ve been to Red Mango, now three times. The service and quality of their smoothies are top notch — although a bit pricey. There are others places that have comparable wares and cost less; however, Red Mango is very good, healthy and refreshing.
My first visit was met with a nice young man, who was very service oriented — cheerful, outgoing, knowledgeable and seems to have a heart for his customers. This young man was my server today, and he had the unfortunate misfortune of having to correct someone else’s problem.
Sandwiched between my two visits was a visit about a week ago. The manager and a new trainee were serving. The manager was pleasant, professional and also had a heart for service. However, I walked out with my smoothie in hand, and quickly got on the expressway, which was all of a minute away. Once settled in my car and relaxing a bit as I zipped down the Eden’s, I noticed I had received a 12oz. smoothie when I paid for a 24oz. Since I was on the expressway, I determined to return when I had a chance, I’d return. The chance didn’t present itself until over week later. Still, I returned, not sure about what would happened, given the statues of limitations on such matters. I explained what happened to the young man, who was more than willing to make things right — this is huge! He made another large smoothie, and gave the extra, about 6oz. more. I would have been satisfied with just having another 12 oz., but he insisted. Talk about making restitution and a great tasting smoothie.
I am a fan.

I love Red Mango, it’s hands down my favorite fro yo shop. Since it’s cinco de mango, I was looking forward to my $ 5 cup.
Today was not the case.
When I walked in, I was excited to see my favorite Oreo flavor, Slam Dunk. Let me tell you something, it was more like a blocked shot. There was nothing Oreo about it, it was watered down and tasteless. It had no flavor, nasty.
I’ll usually eat anything, I’m like a garbage disposal. Not today, I threw the whole thing out.
On top of that, the place was a mess. The poor girl behind the counter could not keep up with everything, she was working. The toppings were all over the place, on the floor, just a mess. Someone had made a huge mess on the yogurt machine too but this girl was too overwhelmed to take care of everything. They need to get better management in here and possibly more people on staff. I’ve already contacted Red Mango about this trip.

Yeah srsly no mochi balls WTF! There is a really limited selection of toppings in general. None of the crunchy/​chewy/​fruity elements I usually get were there, and what little fruit they had weren’t even ripe.
Otherwise — self serve, decent flavors, bright clean store, a lot of seating, friendly staff that immediately offered me sample cups when I walked in. Good amount of parking in the strip mall that it’s located in is a huge plus.
When I was there, the froyo was not melty, except for one flavor.
Wish they had smaller cups though, instead of large and HUGE like seriously who can eat that much froyo –_​-​;
I don’t know. I wouldn’t come out of my way to come here obv since there’s one right in Evanston but a good thing to remember when driving by!
3.5 I guess.

I’m the king of Red Mango.
This particular Red Mango is all natural. They don’t have all the toppings that other Red Mango’s have to offer. That means you won’t have any mochi or certain berries. Still this place is good and you can find equivalent substitutes if your topping isn’t available.

This is the nearest Red Mango to our home, so it’s our go-​to place for froyo. The frozen yogurt is tasty. It’s self-​serve, and I love that we can sample all of the flavors before buying. Rated it 4 stars just because it doesn’t have all the toppings that other Red Mango locations do. No boba or mocha! Boo.
Kept clean, ample seating.

LIke a lot of the other reviews said, I LOVE RED MANGO, but this location has some issues.
1. No Mochi. WHAT? sometimes, thats all I get as a topping
2. Runny/​Not firm/​Melty Yogurt. I hate this as much as I hate lukewarm food. There have been a couple times I picked flavors that were not so firm and just thrown it away. Rude, maybe? But seriously, I am NOT paying for watery melty yogurt. sorry Red Mango.
I guess thats really it for me. The fruit is a non issue since I rarely get it. The location is convenient, but the forever yogurt did just open near by…

I came in when they are doing the $ 5 before 5pm promotion. We had the 16oz frozen yogurt (original and pomegranate mix topped with blueberries, strawberries, and mango). It was originally $ 8.88 for 17.6 oz. so it was a pretty good deal for my sister and me.
The staff was really friendly. She helped my sister around since this was her first visit. We even got to try a few frozen yogurt flavors before settling on a huge order. It’s great to be able to eat froyo during the winter: D
The staff introduced the different flavors and mentioned the tartness of yogurt versus the other flavored froyo that taste like ice cream (fat free ice cream).

I was so so so so so excited that a new Red Mango was being built in my neighborhood, but have been slightly underwhelmed by the new location. Much like the Red Mango at Streets of Woodfield, this one is self-​serve. Self-​serve has its pros and cons, you can choose your flavors, as much as you like, you can choose your toppings as much and as many as you like (and a girl like me loves being able to try all the different options and combinations). But since you pay by the ounce, you really have to be careful. The cups they give you are HUGE, so there’s a tendency (for me anyway) to try to fill it, and put more than I should need. It’s a classic case of my eyes being bigger than my stomach.
While I do like the fact that there is more seating here (unlike the few chairs at the Evanston location), the froyo here has not really been consistent for me as the froyo can sometimes come out more melted than it should be.
As close as this place is, I really haven’t visited that often because it just hasn’t lived up to the usual Red Mango quality I’ve grown accustomed to. I don’t think it’s as bad as some of the reviewers have stated, but certainly not the best.

The last time I was at Red Mango was in Korea and in a department store… I was surprised to find Red Mango in the states sides…
This location is off of a main road, entering and exiting the strip mall is hard, especially when there’s a lot of traffic… you walk in and to your left is the seating area and to the right is the cashier, topping and the machines. The design looks very similar with Yogurtland from California.
They had four machines, each with different flavors… they have small cups for you to sample, so help yourself and try all the flavors before you decide… they also have smoothies as well. I opted for the original and strawberry. As for their toppings, they had extensive offerings… some of their fruits needed to be replaced and were not fresh… but overall their original was good and I could taste the tart flavor. Watch out for parking and traffic.

HATE IT!
I’m so spoiled with the one on Milwaukee!
This place is self serve so immediately it’s over priced. People don’t check how much yogurt they put in their cups (not to mention they don’t have small cups!!!) so a little bowl of ice cream will never be less than $ 4! Outrageous! Pretty much charging for EVERY topping is also ridiculous.
I don’t recommend it. Theres a better one on Milwaukee guys! It’s also A LOT bigger!!!

I do love Red Mango. I especially love their new (and limited edition) flavor Honey Badger! SO GOOD.
This location, however, leaves a lot to be desired. The nearby Red Mango in Evanston is full-​service while this location is self-​service. The problem with self-​serve is you have a lot of people who don’t know what they want or what they are doing, all standing around in front of the machines. They’re just gawking and yo-​blocking you. Then when you go to pay, the same people don’t seem to know what’s going on (the girl at the register has to weigh your cup, it’s really tricky), so it takes forever… while my fro-​yo gently weeps (and melts!).
The other problem with self-​service is the hygiene factor. The cups are all sitting on a table on the side and people are just touching them trying to figure out what size they want, then putting back the one they don’t want. Kids grabbing sample after sample, cutting off the yogurt stream with their fingers and/​or dripping it on the floor. Kinda gross.
This location is kosher, which is cool, but there are a couple toppings they don’t carry (most importantly, my favorite, MOCHI BALLS!). I guess they couldn’t find a certified kosher supplier of mochi. Sad kosher panda…
