We’ve always loved dining at Mekong for all the food & events such as Cornhole Night on Thursdays. Our favorites were the Chicken Pad Thai, Chicken Wings, Sticky Rice & Chicken Feet. We were there today for their re-opening after being closed due to new owners & operations. Service was a bit rough though we understand that today was the first day. We were seated in the banquet hall side. I think that was a barrier itself due to all the waiters mostly being on the resturant side....read full review
