“ I really like Mekong as a neighborhood restaurant and usually go here around once a month. They have some really good vegan options and their cocktails are really good and use Vietnamese liquors, which is unusual. The inside has good mood lighting and the space is open and there are always tables available. My main complaint is the fish tank. I hope they read this and add some items to give those poor fish a better life. The tank is completely empty, and they just float around with no enrichment whatsoever. It's hella depressing. Please invest like $20 and give these fish some stuff to do. ”

“ Really delicious pho ga ! Favorite in NY I've found so far. Veggie spring rolls were pretty good although lacking a bit in flavor. ”

“ Went there for a lil date night and the pho was delicious! I do with there was lil more meat for the price but we still enjoyed it! The marinated wild prawns were also bombbbb you must try! Friendly and fast service ”

“ the best neighborhood spot. vegetarian pho is terrific, very flavorful broth. service is always kind and friendly ”

“ I was a long time regular at a Vietnamese restaurant in Houston called Mai's - since moving to NYC nearly 20 years ago I have hopped to run across a place as delicious. I found it last night in Mekong BK. We stared with the vegetarian spring rolls which were delicious, of course. They always are pretty much anywhere you go. It was my entree, the Iron Pot Lemongrass Curry with Bean Curd that utterly blew my mind. I don't even know what to say. Delicious, savory, spicy, satisfying... and that lemongrass flavor. It was utterly magnificent! The space inside was cozy with neighborhood vibes, and the place was nicely bustling and busy, but not overwhelmingly so. Our server was absolutely lovely and happily answered all of our questions and made suggestions. The only miss was the fact that she seemed to disappear after we got our food and we never saw her again. Another person seemed to take over our table and brought our check. Not terrible, but it's always odd when that happens! I will definitely make my way back to this spot! ”

“ I was in the area and was craving a banh mi so I went to the one of the only two Vietnamese places nearby to try a new place. (The other one I already tried, 5ive spice tacos and banh mi) When I walked in, nobody asked me for a vaccine card and sat me down quickly. I don't know if it's because covid is not as prominent now or what- do what you will with that information. I looked at the menu and realized all the prices are Manhattan priced pretty much- a whopping 14 dollars for banh mi compared to 10 dollars at 5ive spice and 4-6 dollars in lower Brooklyn authentic Viet spots where I'm from. The pho was only 2 more dollars. One thing about this place that's different is that it offers more vegetarian options for a lot of people who can't eat meat which shows the locals of this neighborhood. I was pretty happy with my banh mi- the pate was not as moist/wet as the traditional banh mi I usually have which I actually prefer and the baguette they use is fresh and i was impressed by how my whole mouth hasn't gotten destroyed by this bread as usually when I eat banh mi my mouth is scraped so hard with the baguette texture. I could tell the meat was high quality and they used a good enough amount of vegetables where the sandwich isn't overflowed with carrots or other extra flavors which I really appreciated. Is it an expensive banh mi? Yes Is it a perfectly made banh mi? Yes All in all, I got my quick banh mi fix and would be open to trying the other dishes at this restaurant when I'm back in the area! ”
