Mango Fusion Thai 52 Seventh Ave., between Lincoln Pl. and St. Johns Pl. 718-638-1652 / 1655 Thai If you're craving great pad Thai, you'll want to order elsewhere. (Long Tan is your best bet for basics.) But for Thai with a twist, Mango deserves a top spot in your delivery-menu drawer. Start with the Royal Combo Sampler (sa-bai shrimp, chicken satae, corn patties and tulip dumpling; $10) or the addictive Coconut Tom Kha soup with galanga and bell peppers (small, $3; large, $8).

Although $8.95 does seem exorbitant for soup, the pho arrives piping hot, chockful of tender beef slices and vermicelli noodles, and the tamarind hot and sour soup is perfectly seasoned with an entrée-sized portion of salmon or shrimp. You'll get your money's worth on all the traditional favorites: fried spring rolls ($5.95) that are crispy, not greasy; rice paper summer rolls ($6.95) that are firm, not floppy; lemongrass beef ($11.95), shrimp ($13.95), and chicken or pork ($10.95) with a hefty amount of accoutrements (lettuce, mint, sprouts, fish sauce) for wrapping and dipping.
