“ Food was impeccable. Mansion the restaurant is in is sumptuous. Service was good. The host had an attitude. He showed slight offence that we had no reservations at 2:00pm on a Sunday when only two of some 25 tables were occupied. Hmmm. ”
“ Really beautiful space. You feel like you’re eating in a garden and the food did NOT disappoint. It was delicious! Highly recommend the pineapple fried rice, summer rolls and the pad Thai. ”
“ If you're in Polanco and looking for Thai food, this is the place! The food was exceptional and the service was great! My friends and I dined in on a Wednesday night and we were immediately seated. My personal favorites were the Green Curry and the Chor Muang. My vegetarian friends also had plenty of options to choose from and loved the Tom Yum! Don't forget to finish up with some dessert. I highly recommend their Lava Brownie! ”
“ Manaw has one of the better pad thais I’ve tried in Mexico City. It’s a bit pricey, especially considering the restaurant is located in Polanco, but it’s well worth it. I’ve been to Manaw a handful of times, and the pad thai never disappoints. On my last visit, we also tried the green curry with lamb chops. The green curry was excellent, rich and delicious. The lamb chops, although decent, weren’t the highlight of the platter and weren’t worth dishing out nearly 700 pesos. I would have preferred ordering a different protein to avoid the hefty price tag. Service has been great every time I’ve dined at Manaw. The restaurant has a great vibe and is beautifully decorated. Despite being on Restaurant Row in Polanco and the generally elevated prices of the area, it’s worth your while, and the food is excellent. ”
“ Just THE BEST for Thai food in Mexico City. Period. but it is well worth it!!! ”
“ I am vegetarian. I was highly impressed by their food over all. Ordered 3 veggie dishes, all were exceptionally good. Staff was nice. Highly recommended if in Mexico City and near Palenco area. ”
“ Food is incredibly well done and delicious. The service is prompt and thorough. The ambiance is relaxing. I highly recommend the outdoor section. It is pet friendly and the entire staff was accommodating and kind to both the dog and our kids. Cocktails are creative and delicious. We had an opportunity to speak with the owner who was down to earth and very much interested in us having a good experience. In case you’re wondering, you can take a stroller in. One of the employees helped my husband bring it up the stairs with a sleeping baby. ”
“ Delicious food, beautiful building. If you like bibimbap, the vegetables one was one of the best ones I've ever had. ”
