" Superb pho experience at Phở Mekong! The combination pho was bursting with flavors, and the portion was substantial enough to share. I love the fact that they serve everything fresh. The restaurant itself has a very friendly atmosphere, making it great for families and small groups. Overall, I highly recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came to Phở Mekong because of great reviews but I left feeling indifferent. The food was merely satisfactory, and I expected a stronger flavor profile in the pho. The ambiance was fine, but it lacked a lively spark. Service was quick, but I doubt I’ll return any time soon unless a friend insists. " (*Curated Review*)

" Phở Mekong continues to impress me every time I visit. I often go for the Pho Tai which is always served hot and flavorful. Their broth is incredibly rich, and I love the fresh ingredients they provide to customize the dish. The atmosphere feels like a true Vietnamese spot, very casual but welcoming. It's my go-to place for pho, and I highly recommend it to friends looking for authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing visit overall. The pho I had was not only bland but also lukewarm. I complained to a server who seemed overwhelmed and didn't address my concerns. The restaurant could definitely use some aesthetic improvements, and while the portion sizes were adequate, I'm afraid I won't come back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The consistency here is impressive. The pho is always tasty and satisfying. I've been coming here for years, and it's always the same quality, which I appreciate. The place has a homey feel, and the staff knows their regulars. I recall a specific time when they served me tea on the house while I waited, which was a sweet touch. I will keep coming back! " (*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*)
