Wild Mango Opening At Crocker Park This Summer

WESTLAKE, OH — Wild Mango will open a new location in Crocker Park this summer.

Wild Mango will be located at 139 Crocker Park Boulevard, next to Aladdin's Eatery and overlooking East Park. The restaurant will be more than 8,000 square feet and will be capable of seating 180 diners inside and 100 diners outside on the patio.

Chef Jai Wei started Wild Mango after he moved to Ohio in the 1990s. He began his career in Oberlin but eventually expanded into Cleveland. Wild Mango is an homage to Asian street food, according to Stark Enterprises, which operates Crocker Park.

“I have been dining at Wild Mango for several years, continually in awe and marvel with Jai Wei’s vision and design, all put on every single plate of food served at the restaurant,” said Lidia Saluan Richani, executive vice president of leasing for Stark Enterprises.

Wild Mango's menu features cuisines from Asia, Europe and South America. Diners will want to try the spicy tuna tartar, baked Japanese eggplant, noodle bowls, grilled strip steak, BBQ ribs and more. The restaurant's most popular dishes include fresh seafood, flown in from Hawaii each week, and the Pepsi shrimp appetizer.

“I knew from my first bite of fresh sea scallop there years ago that I had to find a way to bring Jai Wei into the Stark Enterprises family. I am thrilled to now welcome him into Crocker Park, our experience epicenter. With us both in the business of creating unforgettable experiences for visitors, I would say this is the perfect fit," Richani said.
