" This was my first trip to Mekong and I must say, I wasn't impressed. The shrimp fried rice was okay, and the egg rolls were nothing special. The restaurant itself felt like it needed a good cleaning; not a good first impression. I doubt that I would go there again especially with so many better options around. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mekong last week after hearing so much buzz about their fried rice and egg rolls. I went in with high expectations and they surely delivered. The fried rice was perfectly seasoned, the shrimp were fresh, and the portions were generous. However, I was quite disappointed to find that they don’t provide duck sauce with their orders, which seems strange to me. Still, I can't deny how tasty the food was! I would definitely return, but I hope they consider including the sauce for free in the future. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Asian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical about trying Mekong again after a previous experience, but I'm so glad I did! This time, the fried rice was fantastic, with the perfect balance of flavors. The crab rangoon was a delightful surprise as well! I also appreciated the friendly service and how quick my order was prepared. Just a heads-up, remember to bring cash! This place is a hidden gem in Mobile, worth the visit for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was really looking forward to dining at Mekong, but it did not live up to my expectations. The shrimp fried rice was decent, but I found it quite oily and lacking depth of flavor. The atmosphere felt dated and not very inviting. I also had an unpleasant experience when I asked for extra soy sauce and was told there would be an extra charge. For the price I paid, I expected a bit more generosity. I probably won’t be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a real hidden gem! The shrimp fried rice is out of this world. The flavors are so authentic, it reminds me of my travels in Asia. The only downside was when I asked for extra shrimp, I was charged for it. But I won't let that stop me. I'll definitely be back for more of their delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mekong is a fantastic restaurant! I was amazed by their combination fried rice; it's rich and full of flavor! I have fond memories of visiting with my family and I always enjoy coming back. There are times when it's really busy and you have to wait a little, but I think it’s well worth it. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Mekong is good, but I had a hard time getting past the atmosphere. The restaurant looks dirty and outdated, which doesn't match the quality of the food. The fried rice was delicious, though, and I enjoyed every bite. It's just unfortunate because I know they can offer a better dining experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)
