Mekong Thai Cuisine

I’ve been going to Mekong for amazing Thai for 15 years. Great food and the restaurant is owned by a great family. And they’ve recently remodeled. I recommend them highly I love the Pad Thai and the Mekong Chicken!

We ordered the Fresh Spring rolls, Red Curry with chicken and Garlic Chicken. It was all very delicious and priced appropriately.

My wife and I visited and enjoyed both the Pad Thai and the Mekong Seafood. Pad Thai, in particular, was great - plenty of heat as requested and not too sweet, as we often find it at other places. The setting is casual and cozy and the service was attentive and prompt - we'll definitely be back!

I fasted the entire day prior and came with an appetite. I had beef Pho, he had the Mekong chicken plate, we shared the spring rolls. Got a Thai tea for the road.
The beef in the Pho was the worst looking beef I've ever seen in Pho. It was unrecognizable cuts, few and far between and the meat ball was questionable. The basil was not fresh, nor were the bean sprouts.
We got served water and weren't asked if we wanted anything else. My husband did finally request Iced Tea. Nope, didn't have any. (Also don't serve beer or sake anymore so no alcohol, glad we didn't want any.) So drink choices are water or Thai tea. Who doesn't have Iced Tea though? Asian cuisine or otherwise?

Cleanliness: The chili pepper paste and sugar container spoons were dirty. Like days dirty. Not just "this lunch" dirty.

Service: We ordered the rice paper wrapped spring rolls. Were served fried. We didn't say anything because we were both hungry. This was the best part of the meal and a fortuitous accident. (Last visit I ordered the non fried and the mint was excessive and overpowering)

The Pho broth was very bland. No soy sauce or salt on the tables.

The Mekong chicken dish consisted of peanut "sauce" and a mound of rice.
It was way too sweet. Tasted like pureed peanut butter with extra sweetener and some pepper. He couldn't eat it.

Last time I was there I brought my friend who was visiting from the States. They forgot my food. After hers was half eaten they asked if we needed anything else. I said "My food?"
Got it to go since my friend was finished eating. It was Pad Thai and I hated it.
Was still charged full price!

So got the Thai tea to go. It was so sweet I couldn't finish it.

In closing, I've had Thai in many states and this was inedible. I've never not finished Pho anywhere.
We went elsewhere to eat after paying there.

Such a shame we waited for the remodeling and this is what we got. Won't be going back which is sad because I love Pho.

We love this place! The server is always friendly and attentive, the food is excellent and we have food allergies that can be difficult to manage. They are careful and attentive to these needs. I highly reccomend!
