If you’re in search of a restaurant with a casual and laid-back vibe, this spot is definitely worth checking out. That said, the pho is just average. If you’re a true pho enthusiast, you might want to explore other options for a more authentic bowl.

I was excited to try out but I guess I picked wrong items.. the person serving our table was pretty strict with roles which another person seem like in a higher position came to help eventually.. but we already didn’t need it anymore.
The crab and tomato soup noodles.. I DONT RECOMMEND. The soup was a clear soup with sliced tomato that didn’t match together. The weird meat balls got sands-like ingredients inside. Crab meat were invisible with only little shreds.
Iced Vietnamese coffee was watery.

I am here for lunch, overall everything is great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The food taste, portion and price are just right. ? The mushroom stick rice is good with price of $3. Service is also quite proper and good. I did not order any drink.

My search for the best bun cha in New York continues. . .
I have no idea why they call this "Hanoi-style vermicelli" when it's closer to Saigon's bun thit nuong than Hanoi's bun cha.
Regardless, this is one of the most Americanized takes I've seen on a dish at a Vietnamese restaurant. The sauce tasted more like a diluted and salty rendition of sweet chili sauce than nuoc cham; heavy on the umami, maybe from MSG. It wasn't a bad dish, but it also wasn't reminiscent of anything you'd find in Hanoi (or anywhere else in Vietnam).
The server forgot my iced coffee, so I don't have anything to share about it. I did like the planty aesthetic of the dining room.
As long as you temper your expectations, it's not a bad choice.

The food here is high quality, healthy, and delicious.
The food here is great. I love the pho, vermicelli with pork, and street noodles. It’s never crowded because the street signage makes the place appear to be permanently closed.

Is this the same Mekong that used to be in manhattan many years ago? Loved the calamari au beurre and the filet mignon a beurre

Objectively, this is not good Pho or Viet food. I avoid this place even when I am nostalgic and craving my mom’s bowl of pho or Viet dishes that I grew up with.It feels like they are cooking from a Vietnamese cook book they bought from Barnes and Nobles 15 years ago.They tailor the flavor profile to a more North Eastern American taste which is fine but there are better restaurants nearby that do it well. Like Lucys, banh mi place, and Mama Pho.

Just moved to the neighborhood and love Vietnamese food (former Houston & SF resident).We shared the grilled prawns (incredible and great value), and I had pho and friends had the roasted pork Vermicelli.We were all gushing about our meals. The pho was as good as any I’ve had in nyc, they brought me a ton of diced jalapeno on request.Staff were awesome. Definitely a vibe. Will be going back often
