The food is always delicious and the owner is delightful. Make sure you make reservations because this place is always packed. This is always a great sign. Enjoy!

We were very well received at the Mekong restaurant. Food in good quantity and good quality. In addition, the robot who distributes the dishes and who came to sing Happy Birthday to my son was very entertaining and fun.

My wife and I ate here with a couple of friends. We started with won ton soup, hot and sour soup as well as vegetable spring rolls. They ordered chicken satay, mixed vegetables, chicken fried rice and pineapple chicken. We ordered beef with ginger and onions, five spice prawns and pork fried rice. Everything was freshly made and delicious. They received all their dishes before us though so service was a bit out of sync. We had dinner on a pretty cold night and we had to ask our waiter to turn on the overhead heater as we were seated near the door and every time it opened, we got a blast of cold air. The seating area is small so it would be difficult to avoid this. Food was excellent, service was a bit slow and price was a bit high. Would recommend and would certainly return when it’s warmer.

We booked the upstairs space for a bridal dinner for 25 people. Winnie was an excellent host giving the best energy and recommendations. The food was delicious! Highly recommend the Hunan dumplings w peanut sauce as an appetizer. Huge portions, great ambience. I'd go again when I'm back in Ottawa!

The service was amazing! Everyone is so nice. I went on a Wednesday around 5:30 and the place was almost completely empty so the atmosphere was great. There is a low radio playing and low lights so this place is easy on the eyes. It’s quiet and so relaxing. Anyways the food was the delicious cherry on top!!! The food came in huge portions. Me and my gf ordered steamed pork dumplings and beef buns as appetizers and they were so good, not long after, our mains arrived they were general Tao chicken and fried udon noodles. The food was hot and crispy and perfectly made! This is one of the best places I’ve been for food in general. Can’t wait to eat the left overs. We came here starving ate half of the food and left stuffed!!!!! I suggest eating here if ever in Chinatown or Chinatown area!Vegetarian options: Lots of options for limited eaters!

Amazing hot and sour if you like the thick starchy stuff. If dining-in sit upstairs if you can! (Nothing wrong with ground floor but upstairs is nicer IMO)
