" If you're seeking authentic Laotian flavors, Mekong Cafe is the place to be! I’ve tried many of their dishes, including the Nam Kow, and have never been disappointed. It transports me back home with just one bite! Plus, they have these fantastic bubble teas which are the perfect complement to the spicy dishes. I really appreciate the effort to include fresh ingredients in everything they serve. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're into spicy food, make sure to order a level lower than what you think you can handle! I thoroughly enjoyed my last visit, where I went for the ginger tilapia and my friends got several appetizers. The eateries are fresh but can be quite fiery. A lovely market experience as well, but be prepared for crowds during the weekend. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited Mekong cafe several times, each time marveling at how they manage to maintain consistency in flavor! Their fried rice is excellent—always fresh and flavorful. However, I did experience a long wait during my last visit, which was frustrating. Still, the delicious curry rolls made it worth the wait in my opinion. Service could improve, but the dishes speak volumes about their culinary skill. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited recently with my partner and we tried several dishes. The highlights were definitely the fried spring rolls and the green curry, both of which had authentic flavors and demonstrated skillful cooking. The atmosphere was quite lively, and while the service had its hiccups due to the crowd, we could overlook that considering how well the food was done. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just when I thought Mekong Cafe couldn't get any better, they introduced some new items to the menu! I tried the new lemongrass chicken and it was heavenly. Pairing it with their unique sauces truly enhanced the flavor. The atmosphere is homely and the staff are friendly, making it a charming dining experience. Without a doubt, I'd recommend this place!

" 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.
