Good Asian fusion and friendly staff. Really enjoyed the drunken noodles.
Throughly mediocre. There were burnt bits in my Bangkok noodles, leaving a bitter after taste after most bites. Somehow, the noodles were a bit dry as well. Usually a spot like this would have too much grease but here they did not have enough.
The starter crisps were okay but they have this dipping sauce which needs to go back to the drawing board completely. I think it's supposed to be sort of sweet but the vinegar entirely overpowers it. Whoever insisted on that mix obviously does not care enough to have tried it before putting it out or has a terrible pallete.
The server working was nice enough but there was some woman sitting at the bar on her laptop being loud and obnoxious the whole time. No one else was there just talking to herself, on the phone or talking at the worker. I can only assume this was the owner or a stakeholder of some kind. Completely unprofessional. People like this who like to sit out with their computers so they can pretend they work as hard as their labor force when really they could not work any of the positions if they were forced to by circumstance.
Absolutely will not be going back here. Wasn't terrible but not worth the drive out. These people need to go back to the drawing board, there is better food in Portland.

Not sure if your server, the ginger haired woman, is drinking on the job- but it seems like she is. She forgot one of our items, an entree, completely. She also served two tables (which she was dropping items on the guests and slamming dishware around on their table) before us as our food sat- ready to go- on the counter for 10+ minutes before finally getting to us. You would be better off finding another server as that was some of the worst service I’ve ever had.

This restaurant does not conduct business in an ethical manner. Food ingredients not fresh, frequently on the edge of spoilage. Avoid for the risk of your health.

Great place. Underrated. I have been patronizing for years. If you want the best go here.

Mekong Thai have the best food❤️
Awesome meals for a great price and reasonable sum of mass. Happy hour is good and cheap too. The house phở is a real 1. Their servers are really hit-or-miss unfortunately. Young lady is pretty flighty and just disappears for extended time a lot when it’s dead empty? Vibe is what it is. Liminal. But usually a peaceful aura. It’s on brand with an asian place you know? Overall like it a lot, but def show up for the food, lest you have misplaced expectations on the other aspects.

The staff was delightful the afternoon I worked between meals in the quiet upper dining area. Their haddock and steamed veggies dishes are great. I think they will help me in the Maine Marathon half tomorrow.?
