Mekong Restaurant

Delicious pho and rice noodle dishes as well as spring rolls. Great Gluten Free options. Menu with all ingredients easily laid out. Made accomidaitions for my other food allergies, egg and soy. Would highly recommend.

I’ve been going to Mekong since 2008 and it’s come such a long way since then. I still visit at least several times a year, especially in the colder months or on cold days. The food is always solid, around the same quality as the nearby Vietnamese restaurants at a reasonable price. One thing that sucks is, you don’t always receive the bean sprouts, basil, lime, and jalapeños when you order the pho or noodle soup. A lot of times I have to ask for it. Sometimes they’ll only bring out a lime and a couple jalapeño slices, but I love the bean sprouts and basil so it can be a bit of a bummer when they don’t bring that out. Drinks: I don’t drink beer anymore because of a recently discovered gluten allergy, but their house made beers have been some of the best beers I’ve ever drank in the past. I always loved their stouts; they had this one chocolate, coffee, coconut stout that had me having dreams about it years ago! I still remember that stout fondly and get sad that I can’t drink beer anymore. They have wines and usually have a small selection of seltzers, ciders, and/or mead for those who are also GF or don’t like beer. Service: service can be a hit or miss here. They get INSANELY busy at times, so it makes sense that it takes your server a long time to take your order, bring your food, or get back to you. When they’re less busy, the service is great. The food comes out fast, the drinks come out fast, and your water glass is refilled really quickly. Note: if this is your first time at a Vietnamese restaurant, you pay up front. The server gives you a hand written list of items ordered and you bring it to the front to pay. This is pretty standard at Vietnamese restaurants, although at some other restaurants sometimes the person at the cash register will memorize your order somehow. This restaurant is too big and busy so they give you your itemized list to bring up front. Overall I always recommend this to people who love beer and also people who want some pho. I always look forward to going here.
