Thai Tango

Can't tell you how much we enjoyed our experience at Thai Tango a few months ago. We walked in with over 15 folks on a Monday night... and did the staff seemed worried? Not one bit. While most of our guests normally wouldn't venture past the the standard thai fare (ie Pad Thai), we noticed more than a few breaking the ice and ordering outside the normal drawl with surprising vigor. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening! more

Two friends and I decided that we were in the mood for Thai food and decided that Thai Tango would be a nice place to go. We dressed appropriately, because it was decently 'upscale', and made a reservation. We were told it'd be 30 minutes. Well, that's fine, it was busy, and we waited. And waited. We saw people walk in and get seats before us, even though they'd just waited 10 or so minutes,, and when the 30 minute mark hit I asked when our seats would be ready. We were told there were three people ahead of us. Okay, that's fine. Then, ten minutes later, it was the "Your table is ready but we have to clean it." Then, another ten minutes, and we're finally seated with no silverware, glasses, or menus. Some people come around 5 minutes later with the silverware and glassware, but no menus, whilst a table of 5 is seated with everything, including menus, and they take their order. At this point, we've been sitting down for about 10-15 minutes, and no one has asked us for drinks, given us menus, or even approached us. So we left. I know we're teens, and notoriously 'bad' tippers. But, we did not deserve the service that we got. We were polite, behaved nicely, and while waiting, instead of clogging up the waiting space, we stood outside in the winter weather. We deserve that same amount of respect as any other customer. more

Thai Tango offers tasty Thai cuisine at a reasonable price. Their portions are ample too, enough to fill a steak-stretched Texas gut. The food is laid out attractively on plates in a range of colors and shapes to dazzle. My favorite dish for both lunch and dinner is the shrimp and pinneapple fried rice. The shrimp is tender and cooked to perfection. The rice is moist, mixed with cashews and pinneapple chunks. Thai Tango has a modern decor with an array of curves and angles. The space is open, but their is a private dining room for those who wish to reserve it fro special occasion dining events. Thai Tango is drenched in sienna with murals and sconces cut out of metal. The ceiling is covered with a series of overlapping "kites," disks, and square panel frames over which silk is stretched. These panels must serve as dampers to the noise, because this dining room is a precarious battery of hard surfaces, yet the decibel level never seems to get out of hand. The food is a bit quieter than you might imagine too. It doesn't have the searing clarity the very best Thai food flashes. But that doesn't mean Thai Tango cuisine isn't good. It just means it's in Flower Mound, which perhaps is more amenable to blunted culinary barbs. more
