one of my favorite spots ever. amazing curry and always so yummy! great service, been coming here for awhile
I was really looking forward to finally trying this place after passing by so many times. The beef pho was pretty good but i wish it had come with a little more hoisin and Sriracha sauce on the side. The summer rolls weren't that great, they didnt taste that fresh, the one had a single shrimp in it and the peanut sauce they came with didn't have much flavor to it. I guess I just expected way more for $30. The atmosphere seemed nice while I was picking up my order and the guy working behind the counter was friendly enough. There's not many Vietnamese places in the area so if you're craving pho this place will hit the spot just at a bit of a higher cost than you may be used to at similar establishments.
This place is a gem in the neighborhood, providing delicious and soul-warming pho in a cozy environment with an excellent music selection.Coming from the west coast to NYC, it's hard to find a quality bowl of pho, but I was very happy to find that this place does the trick. Many of the other places we've tried are either too bland or are some weird fusion experiments. Mekong stays true to traditional flavors and delivers a no nonsense broth that has healing properties. Highly recommend.The atmosphere is very cozy and intimate. Set a few feet into the ground, the warm lighting, surrounding plants, and vibrant fishtank transport you into another world where you can escape the city for a while. The music selection is also stellar and never fails to impress with it's diverse mix of indie, funk, and soul tracks. A great place to take a date or hang out with friends in a relaxed and comfortable environment.
Size does matter ?Having a craving for Vietnamese food I noticed Mekong BK in one of my walks and got in with an anticipation. I ordered the Spring rolls that looked exactly like the ones I had in Hoi Ann. The rolls tasted great, I could probably use more lettuce to get them all wrapped.Next came the Pho Bo. Pho with beef. The pho tasted great but the portion was really small especially considering its price.All in all I liked the food but a little more lettuce and broth would have made me much happier.How much could the actual cost of these items to the restaurant be? Why not make your customers happy, especially since previous reviewers have mentioned the same concern.
Such a disappointment - time after time. Food is good, but every single time (really) they mess up our order. Either something is missing altogether, or I end up with something completely different than what I ordered. And I don’t realize until I am home and too lazy to go back. I really need to stop trying, but it’s conveniently located and the only Vietnamese place in the neighborhood.Food is good (when it’s what I ordered), but it’s horrendously overpriced and the staff is quite rude. Would advise you skip this place.
mekong is the best vietnamese restaurant in the city. food is very good. price is reasonable for the time we are in!!
definitely the best, if not only, pho in the neighborhood. cool interior too, would recommend coming here or picking it up if you live in the neighborhood and are in need of Vietnamese food.this aint banh mi saigon or pho grand, so expect to pay a bit more.
This review is solely on the pho. Amazing broth but the bowl is very shallow and small for 17 dollars. Also the meat was very well done. Overall satisfied but left still hungry.
My girlfriend and I ate here while we were in the area and we were not disappointed! I would definitely eat here again.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in New York City and I’ve been here all my life. Absolutely baffling that this place isn’t packed all the time. The chicken wings, papaya salad, bahn mi, lemongrass beef over Vermacelli all absolute fire among other items ❤️
