Red Mango

This place has gone downhill. I used to come here all the time a couple of years ago, and i came to this one about a month ago (even though there was a red mango closer to me) since they had a great variety of flavors and toppings. Imagine my disappointment to find out that they had made the stand smaller, which limited the flavors and toppings significantly. There was barely any variety to choose from and the fruit toppings they did have, were gross and not fresh. So disappointing that red mango doesn’t even use real fruit for their smoothies also, since the price is so high. So from my last visit, which resulted in me feeling sick, i never will return here again.

It used to be a nice place until recently. It stopped accepting gift cards and reward cards. Not good. There were fraud transactions the same day I used my credit card here — I haven’t used that card for weeks.
Keep away from this store!

I used to come here for dessert all the time whenever I am at 34^th St. Like why would I come here when there’s better desert alternatives on the same block? Now I know why I shouldn’t come here anymore.
The last time I came here, the froyo was all watery, weak taste. The selection was limited to some classics (original, peach, and oreos). The toppings selection was greatly reduced.
As of now, they’re using a new cashier system that doesnt accept the loyalty card.

I love Red Mango and Pinkberry! Even though they are right next to each other, I usually get Red Mango instead because it’s conveniently located in Food Gallery 32 where I grab a small dinner AND it’s cheaper than Pinkberry. I usually get the traditional yogurt flavor with different types of berries (unlike Pinkberry where you choose up to 3 toppings and pay for each additional topping, Red Mango charges by the content’s weight), and fruity pebbles, it’s a lovely way to finish the dinner meal. Yes to $ 3.50 healthy dessert!!!

I can’t love Red Mango after I tried Pinkberry. I like the frozen yogurt at pinkberry a lot so when I go to Red Mango I can’t help but to compare the two of them. I tried Red Mango and Pinkberry several times and I always ended up liking Pinkberry the most. The flavors of the frozen yogurts are different and the ingredients are fresher at Pinkberry.

OK service when I went last night. Looked clean (for a Koreatown mall joint) and especially compared to Red Mango locations I’ve been to elsewhere in midtown.
It cost me $ 4 for original flavor frozen yogurt that tasted too tangy for my tastes and was topped with copious mochi. I only got fro-​yo this time because for once, they did have the mocha.

A Red Mango among a bunch of other food places right in Koreatown.
Red Mango is Red Mango — sweet, but good yogurt, perfect for a hot day, and yummy toppings.
The service was good here. We had a young girl as our cashier, and my friend kept saying she had some kind of rewards bday coupon. The girl kept trying to interrupt and explain something, which I thought was really cute. I mean, I appreciated she didn’t get snappy at my friend, who wasn’t really listening Lol. And customer service/​cashier jobs aren’t the easiest.
In the end, she helped us, very pleasant and polite.
They get busy at times because of the great location, and only have two registers so maybe a teensy bit frazzled.
There’s a bench to sit across the way, and tables throughout, plus two additional levels. We managed to find a bench on the second level right when you walk up the first flight of stairs. But it can get crowded.

I love the froyo here. This red mango has a bigger selection of froyo unlike the one I live next to.

I think the Unilocal hours are wrong, because we just showed up at 11:05 and they told us they were closed. So the employees are either closing early or the operating hours are inaccurate.

Good Yogurt. Not as many options as I would like. Clean enviroment. Staff was not friendly. Price is ok.

Red Mango’s frozen yogurt is usually pretty good. I had the original flavor here and it didn’t have a nice, smooth taste that I’m used to with frozen yogurt. Rather it was too tangy for my liking– and the consistency of the yogurt was not like that of soft serve that I’m used to at other red mango locations. It was too frozen. Nice assortment of toppings but I’d appreciate it if they were labeled cause it seemed like a few of the toppings were repeated like granola. The young lady checking me out was pleasant though.

I usually prefer Red Mango to other companies offering similar types of frozen yogurt. And I’ve liked this location in the past because it offers flavors that aren’t always available at the other locations (like Taro and Green Tea). But the last few times I’ve been here, I’ve noticed that the Taro flavor hasn’t been available, the yogurt consistency/​temperature was off, and the service was distinctly lacking.
Yesterday’s experience finally did the trick of convincing me that I need not revisit this location. The frozen yogurt was already melting a bit as it came out of the dispenser. After my companions and I prepared our yogurt and got in line to pay, we noticed that there was a long holdup with the customers in front of us. One customer was handing over a lot of change to the person working at the register. In the process, some coins dropped into the spoon dispenser. The two people working at the register proceeded to dig among the spoons with their bare hands to find the coins. After they finally extricated the coins, they returned the dispenser full of spoons back to the stand so that the next customers could use these spoons that had just kept company with loose change and fingers that have been handling money. Um, no thanks.
By the time we paid and were ready to eat, the yogurt was half melted. When one of my companions who did not buy a yogurt the first time around returned to get some for herself, she and about 5 other customers had to wait in line while the one person manning the register proceeded to ring up at least 3 employees (of the food court?) who cut to the front of the line to pay for their sodas. So the not-​quite-​frozen yogurt became even more melted and unappetizing for the whole line of customers who had to wait as the person manning the register rang up soda after soda for the employees dropping by on their breaks.

Had a taste of red mango and it was quite delightful. My friend and I had mango icecream with mango bubble pops and sour worms — it was a refreshing and inexpensive treat to enjoy on a fine day.

I was not impressed with the flavors or the topping selections.
I’ve experienced better.

Yum Red Mango. Located in a food court complex, this place is just your typical froyo place. Grab, pay, and go. Nice and efficient. I like it. I got the white peach flavor with mochi which was pretty solid. It was on the expensive side – cost about $ 5 for a really not that large portion. I should have looked at what the rate per ounce was. Anyways the white peach was really yummy! Not much else to say, just your typical Red Mango

Self serve? A plus.
The cashier was also very kind and generous.
There are more topping choices here than the other Red Mangos I know.
But the white peach tastes a bit different than the other places.
But yes I would come here again.

I know Red Mango is really more of a froyo place, but I was severely craving a smoothie and couldn’t find a Jamba Juice. I got the mango smoothie for ~$ 5, which is a high but unsurprising cost. They probably aren’t used to making smoothies, but it’s hard to mess up blended fruit.

The taro (smooth and sweet) version of the froyo is a tasty version (not as sour as the original).
And at 59¢/oz., still reasonable when feeding the little one! Downside: the mochi was a stale.

This was my first Red Mango and it was ok. What I didnt know until I get to the counter they charge by the weight. I picked up a green tea with graham cracker crumbs/​dust. To me it was a little too sour, maybe because im more of an Ice Cream type person. It was ok to me but again the sourness got to me.

Ordered a smoothie here on a Sunday evening, shortly after 10pm. They give you 20% if you have a receipt from another vendor inside the food court.
My order of the Berry Medley Hibiscus had them literally running around to grab ingredients from the back and quickly chopping and stirring up the fancy concoction. Highly entertaining to watch a mini version of Iron Chef live.
The result was an excellent fancy-​ish smoothie with tropical fruit and floral flavors. Good job, guys.

My favorite froyo!!! Limited flavors on weekdays but if you go on the weekend they have up to 8 different flavors! Taro, honey badger and red velvet are my personal favs.

Most of the time when I walk back towards Penn Station, I stop here for some frozen yogurt. The employees here are nice, as well as the yogurt and toppings. They also let you try samples of their flavors before you decide to buy.
This location is located inside a food emporium in K-​Town, and there aren’t enough seats to accommodate the crowds. Therefore if you plan on sitting down, good luck trying to find a seat. Otherwise, just get it to go, since their yogurt is always good!

I just realized that the self serve froyo trend is like a reincarnation of the Asian shaved ice dessert… it is just something with a bunch of random crap on it. It appeals to the desire to create a mess. A colorful, edible mess.
This may be why I am more likely to go to Red Mango or 16 Handles over Pinkberry (even though Pinkberry has great customer service): I like going through and putting my own sundae together. It’s never very photo-​worthy, but it means I can put two froyo flavors in one cup and different toppings on each. Or a dab of one flavor and more of another. etc.
This Red Mango is just a stand in a food court. However it is near Penn Station so I wind up there now and again. There is also a Red Mango IN Penn Station now, by the Zaro’s that is near the up escalator to get out on 7^th and 32^nd. But it’s not self-​serve.
