" I can’t express how much I love Mekong Cafe! The fried rice was exceptional and wonderfully seasoned. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out. The staff was incredibly polite and made me feel welcomed. The attached grocery store is a delightful bonus and gives me the opportunity to take a bit of culinary magic home with me. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having traveled through various parts of Southeast Asia, I have come to develop certain expectations when it comes to authentic cuisine. While Mekong Cafe offers an inviting atmosphere and some decent dishes, I found the Pho lacking depth. The broth needed more character, more spice, and the lack of herbs was disappointing. The service was okay, but I would recommend them working on improving their flavor profiles. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited Mekong Cafe and tried their variety of appetizers. The fresh rolls were delightful, but the soup was a bit underwhelming in terms of flavor. There was a mismatch with the service speed, but the ambiance kept our spirits high. The market attached is fantastic and offers great products. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food at Mekong Cafe is always delicious and the staff are friendly! I particularly enjoyed their mango salad and spicy pho. The dining experience was pleasant, and I appreciate that the restaurant supports local ingredients. I'm definitely looking forward to exploring more of their extensive menu on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" On my recent visit, I ordered the curry egg rolls and a spicy pho. The egg rolls were lovely, but the pho didn't meet my expectations as it was a bit bland. The service was efficient, but I felt that ingredient freshness could improve especially in newer dishes. I hope my next visit will give me the flavor boost I’m looking for. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always look out to have a good time when dining out with friends, and Mekong Cafe did not let us down! The service was delightful, although we had to wait a bit for our meals. The dishes we tried, such as the Banh Mi and curry egg rolls, were delightful! I will say that the mango sticky rice is a must-try once you’re here! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Mekong Cafe was rather extended due to some service hang-ups. While the food is tasty—especially the pineapple fried rice—the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. I loved the laid-back vibe of the market side, and the freshness of the ingredients featured in their dishes is evident. It's a good spot for takeout, but I recommend being patient during peak hours.
