Reviews for Mekong in New York, NY
I literally stumbled across this place looking for some Pho uptown. Luckily for me, I came in during their down time and when I... tell you that the service, food, and drinks were immaculate? I truly mean it. Definitely a hidden gem and I will be back verysoon! Read more
We stopped by to grab drinks while doing laundry and because I love Vietnamese Cold Coffee. The Green Tea Ice Cream with the... fried bananas was such a wonderful refreshing treat and their Clear Chicken Soup was light and flavorful. We very much lookforward to going there for a dinner date. Read more

Lots of great options for soups and noodles. We enjoyed the Tom Yum with Chicken, good flavor and spice level!
The food was absolutely delicious, the vibe is low key, and the service was fantastic. We ordered the beef brisket Pho,... lemongrass beef over rice, papaya salad, and pad Thai. Everything was perfect. Read more
This Thai+Vietnamese fusion restaurant itself is so clean and charming, the service is amazing, and the food was just delicious!... I ordered the papaya salad which is always a must in the summer time & the lemongrass beef over rice? The refreshing and savoryflavors of each dish brought me back to life in the summer?s humidity and heat. I also topped it off with mango sticky rice????????????? Read more
I?m not exaggerating when I say: this is my favourite restaurant in New York. Their banh mi sandwiches and pho are the best I?ve... ever had. The crispy Vietnamese spring rolls and the curry puffs are excellent, and the bánh hoi noodles are awesome. Theowners are super nice and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. (The photo is only 1/3 of the banh mi sandwich, forgot to takea picture before eating!) Read more
I should not be writing a review of a place like this on an empty stomach, as simply the act of remembering the sumptuous,... lusciously creamy food I had here is enough to make me long to return. Admittedly there was a rather strange guy seated next tous while we were eating, but that does not reflect ill on the restaurant as much as it deserves as a reflection of the manydifferent unusual and unexpected kinds of people that you see here in New York City. The food here arrives on time, it'sreasonably priced, and above all, it is mouth-wateringly tender, with every dish prepared in such a way that brings out thespecific strengths of that dish. Case in point: my duck tamarind, which carried the smoky flavor and crispy texture that I loveabout duck, while escaping the tepid chewiness and general dryness that unfortunately play too many iterations of duck dishes.The dark, tougher flavor that I like about duck was not ignored, but rather brought out to its fullest extent through theseskilled preparations made here at this lovely Thai restaurant. I will certainly be coming back here in the future. Read more
