Reviews for Mekong BK in Brooklyn, NY
Excellent Vietnamese restaurant with incredible calamari and banana cream pie. The Mekong street noodle is also a must order,... with a super umami shrimp flavor. Yes the usual pho and other go to dishes are good too, but if you are looking for somethingmore than just pho, this place will deliver. Service and decor are also wonderful! Read more
The pho was decent but the show stopper is the pork ribs! They were delicious. I can?t wait to try the wings.
Wow what a spot The spring rolls brought me right back to my time in Vietnam. The service... amazing! Decent bowl of pho. Menu... has a lot to offer. Read more
Atmosphere was nice and quaint, but there downfall was the food was not good. I got the beef pho and ice coffee. The pho tasted... bland and the meat was way to over cook and honestly the wrong meat for traditional pho. The coffee just tasted off. Read more
The owner is extremely rude and told us to read the menu faster when my friend was trying to order food. When I asked in details... what kind of slices of meat he offer for the pho since most pho restaurant (authentic ones anyway) serves different kind ofparts like brisket, tripes, etc. He rudely said only ?beef and chicken what else do you want??. The owner obviously have a hugenarcissistic problem of having his face plastered around the restaurant. The food was super dumbed and washed down to satisfythe clueless residents living around there thinking it?s actually Vietnamese food. Seriously worst experience ever, all that egofor the food just to be mid! Sad! Read more
Size does matter ???? Having a craving for Vietnamese food I noticed Mekong BK in one of my walks and got in with an... anticipation. I ordered the Spring rolls that looked exactly like the ones I had in Hoi Ann. The rolls tasted great, I couldprobably use more lettuce to get them all wrapped. Next came the Pho Bo. Pho with beef. The pho tasted great but the portionwas really small especially considering its price. All in all I liked the food but a little more lettuce and broth would havemade me much happier. How much could the actual cost of these items to the restaurant be? Why not make your customers happy,especially since previous reviewers have mentioned the same concern. Read more
This is my favorite place - the Filet Mignon Au Beurre is easily one of the best dishes in Brooklyn. They?re nice and simple... with quick and efficient service. Good vibe all around. Read more
So, coming from SF Bay Area, I've been a bit spoiled by how much great vietnamese food there was around me. This place to me in... comparison to the Viet food in SF was just ok, although my girlfriend enjoyed it and would give it a 4/5. We both got the beefpho, and it was a tiny bit sweeter than I would have wanted, and it just wasn't savory enough for me. I probably wouldn't goback, but my gf probably would. Read more
