Who's Got the Best Sticky Rice with Mango?

Heck, who's got any sticky rice with mango?

My husband and I were jonesing for some sticky rice with mango this weekend. and we were foiled not once, not twice, but three times by Thai joints that advertise this special dessert on their take-out menus, but apparently only serve it during a lunar eclipse.

Does anyone know of a reliable restaurant on the North Side serving sticky rice with mango? We're desperate.

You'll see this regularly all summer long at places like Spoon Thai, Sticky Rice, and TAC (to name a few favorites).

I'm gonna third (or fourth?) Sticky Rice.

It's also good at Royal Thai.
