It was my first time here for Mother’s Day and the service was very slow. Seems like they’re understaffed and the place was dirty. The table that the server put us at wasn’t swept. I had to clean the chair that had crumbs. The dishes and utensils were still dirty. Two workers had to come back to grab the dirty dishes. Food is meh. For $23 per person, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I advise that Mekong Cafe fixes the issues otherwise, the issues will shut them down.

Delicious food and wonderful service! Everyone should try this place out! We especially enjoy the crab Rangoon and bahn-mi’s - the bread is so fresh

Takeout food was absolutely amazing. Everything seemed very fresh. The crab Rangoons were really good. Steam buns are amazing and really big lol . I'd recommend this place to anyone without a second guess. It's a must try.

I learned more about food from eating here, which is awesome. Their Sesame Chicken is uniquely good, and the Crying Tiger was such a surprise - I had to learn to cook that one so I wouldn't go broke eating here too often! The mango sticky rice is also some of the best I have had.

We just got home. Opened our Pad see Ew and it tasted like plain noodles with sugar.. It lacked soy sauce and oyster sauce etc. Not much flavor, the sugar overpowered everything. Felt like i was eating sugar noodles. We couldn't finish it. 33.00 down the drain. ??

The curry hits every time. Everything, really. Never a problem! Love it.

Ran by some friendly ladies. The food is excellent - I really like their fried rice and curries. I wish I could eat here every day!

Delicious stir fry with generous portions.

Vegetarian options: Just vegetables or tofu for protein selection on a lot of dishes.

This is my new place to reward myself. I loved my banh mi and my sticky rice and my banana bread. Everything was amazing and I can't wait to go back. The staff was very sweet and helpful.

THIS IS A MUST HAVE. I have traveled and lived in SE Asia 6 months of my life. This might possibly be the top 3 meals I've had in my life... and also potentially the best SE asian food I've ever had. Thai food is so hard to come by thats actually authentic and "Thai food like", The Nam Kow is beyond. It's 3 meals in one. Like please get this one... The Red curry was freaking amazing. The fried rice was freaking amazing. The crispy duck was terrific. The price point is great. The service was wonderful. I don't really think its an eat in kind of place, but I have been floored by how good the food is as take out. They have so many additions to customize your order as you like. The 3 level hits. Spicy perfection for the spice lovers out there. Lots of sauce to boot! I would give this 100 stars if I could. THE BEST SE ASIAN FOOD ever ever. <3

Caution: No matter how long your take out order will take, they will tell you it will take 20-25 minutes. The most recent time I ordered from here, I asked them multiple times how long it would take and they assured me it would be 20-25 minutes. An hour later our order was finally ready. This is the second time in a row that's happened. I won't make the same mistake a third time.

This was a tough one....I have heard good things about this place. Walked in, I didn't know it was a little market as well...very cool. I stood there waiting, do I seat myself or?so I asked the cashier, who didn't seem to understand me, asked do I just take a menu...no answer, so I said table for 1, that seemed to work. I tried asking about the menu, but the young waitress couldn't really help, so I took a gamble. Lol I had the Tom kha soup, flavor was great, but it only had mushrooms, scallions, and a couple pieces of cilantro, the broth was very good though. I also had the Lao sausage Bahn mi...amazing...hands down the best thing I had today!

This place is honestly amazing. The ingredients are super fresh, the flavors are incredible, and despite the menu being huge I’ve never had a bad meal. One of my favorite restaurants in the whole city.
