Mekong is a neighborhood favorite of mine. And with their extensive menu and very helpful staff, no matter the season I always find something that really hits the spot. In the winter, the Iron Pot Lemongrass Curry w/ Tofu is such delicious comfort food. In the warmer months, I like doing the Bun vermicelli w/ pork and Khanh Hoa Farmer's Egg Noodles as a one-two punch.
You'll also notice that Mekong has one of the coolest interiors of any restaurant in the neighborhood. This place just oozes a welcoming and comforting vibe that you will be in no hurry to leave.

The beef broth for the pho was very good, but the portions could have been bigger for the price. And please add some kind of chili pepper as an accompaniment!

Update: they refunded me, appreciate it!
One of the waiters told me tip wasn’t included but actually it was so I was double charged - annoying. Pho was ok, banh mi was great.

Food was fine. Not great. A bit over priced. $250 for 3 people. The service was awful! Waited 25 minutes for a drink. We had a 6:30 reservation. At 7:50 we were told we had 20 min because they needed the table. My son was not finished with his dinner and they tried to take it away. 10 minutes later the waitress came with the credit card machine to pay our bill. I asked if it said anywhere that tables were limited to 90 minutes and waitress just said “ I am the messenger. I don”t know.” We have never had an experience like this anywhere before. Awful! Not relaxing. Just stressful!

Got charged a 4% service fee on a dine-in check where i paid my tab with cash (to avoid their 3% credit card fee). What is this for exactly??
They lied to us about the tip, they said gratuity was not included on our check so I tipped 20%. But we asked for the receipt and there was already a tip included in the bill, so they made us tip twice without knowing. Also they were very rude.

The best spot in the neighborhood for an easy delicious meal. Great vibes for dining in and I also order their chicken pho whenever I’m sick. Service and staff is excellent and friendly. Just a perfect cozy establishment!

The Pho is great. The owner puts great emphasis on quality and service. The bartender is not aware of this. He is rude. My recommendation: order take-out for delivery rather than pick up and eat where the waitress is serving you. All interactions with the bartender should be avoided. I noted that I ate for dine-in but I have eaten here for dine-in, take-out, and delivery and will say that the food is always the same level of good.

Pho and port rib are great! But they do charge extra fee if you use CC without communication, so be careful.
