Years and years coming here and it's still one of my favorites! My parents love making their spring rolls before a meal, but hate the get stuffed and can't eat their own orders after!! Different seasons carry seasonal drinks, but there's always some beers and wines you can get that will pair well with your foods. This time I got a pumpkin beer and it was delicious. It is still my go-to for the best bowl of pho bar none. If you're wanting to go and get Vietnamese food, this is the place!

Try the crepe on the appetizer menu. Lots of fresh veggies w a bit of white chicken and shrimp in the mix. Beautiful presentation including large sprig of fresh mint.

I was recommended Mekong years ago for its exceptional beer selection. I have now made a point to go anytime I am nearby.
Great food, and a beer selection that can appeal to anyone (with some hidden gems if you know what you’re looking for!)
Atmosphere is relaxed, a great place any time of the day.

In terms of flavor, I feel like other viet restaurants will offer more flavor and taste. But it’s still overall amazing.

Worst service ever. I have never had servers that were so lazy, rude, unsmiling and with a rotten attitude.

I’ve been here maybe 5 times and each time I bring someone new because I have to share how amazing this restaurant is! Everything I’ve tried has been delicious and all of the staff are so friendly. The menu has a really great variety of dishes and I love trying new things each time I go. I will definitely keep coming back!

Dish was watery and little taste. Noodle type was not what was on menu. Overall vibe was just very low end.

I'm a super fan of Vietnamese food but it's not for me but clearly there is a crowd who loves them. The phô broth was very light. Appetizers were very light.
Not my favorite place.

Overall 4.6/10 - A mixed experience with decent food but hindered by slow service and a less authentic atmosphere for a Vietnamese dining spot.
Atmosphere 4.6/10: Styled more like a Chinese eatery rather than a Vietnamese restaurant, which may confuse some guests. Staff appeared friendly, adding a positive note to the ambiance.
Service 3.8/10: While the menu was clearly detailed with helpful images, the absence of desired menu items and notably slow service detracted from the dining experience.
Pho 6.7/10: The pho stood out as a highlight, featuring a flavorful broth and well-prepared meat, contributing positively to the meal.
Dumplings 6.8/10: Another high point, the dumplings were perfectly crispy and delicious, accompanied by a tasty sauce.
Value 5.1/10: Despite the good quality of the dishes, the overall dining experience was diminished by service issues, impacting the perceived value of the meal.
