" I have been coming here for years, and it remains one of my top restaurants! The pho is beautifully garnished and served piping hot every time. Their team is wonderful, making you feel like part of their family. If you’re lucky enough to go on a cooldown day, their broth offers the best comfort. This place is truly special! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here with my family, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals! The pho tai was top-notch, rich and deep in flavors, while the peanut sauce served with the spring rolls was the best I've had. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. There was a bit of a wait on a busy Saturday, but the food was definitely worth it. The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, making it a perfect family spot. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, the best pho in town! I have been visiting for years and have never been disappointed. Their broth is simply unmatched – deeply flavored, comforting, and perfectly complemented by the fresh herbs they serve on the side. The restaurant's staff is always friendly and efficient. I recommend getting the special pho to try all the different meats! Every spoonful reminds me of my food adventures in Vietnam. Definitely worth visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here with high hopes after hearing rave reviews. Unfortunately, I found the pho rather average. The service was quick, which is a plus, but the broth didn't have much depth, and the noodles were overcooked. The place itself was clean, but the decor is pretty basic. I won't say I wouldn't return, but I'd be looking for a better pho elsewhere next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Phở Mekong offers a unique taste of Vietnam. I was taken aback by the high quality of the pho, which was rich in flavor and brimming with fresh ingredients, especially the herbs. The standout for me has to be their spring rolls; they're absolutely divine! However, my first visit was marred by a long wait. The staff worked hard, but they were clearly overwhelmed during peak hours. Despite this, it’s worth the experience and the food compensates for the minor setbacks. I would highly recommend trying the cá chiên as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited for a quick lunch and found the pho average at best. The broth was lacking seasoning, leading to a bland experience. The service was decent, but I felt the seating area could have used a thorough cleaning. Portions were fine, but I left a bit disappointed overall. I might consider another trip but would suggest sticking to more popular dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, I didn't have a great experience here. I found the pho bland and lacking the aromatic punch I expected. The service was average at best, and I felt rushed. The restaurant appeared clean, but the atmosphere was not very inviting. With so many other options available, I'm not sure if I'd come back. " (*Curated Review*)
