Mekong Restaurant

​Mekong has a lot going for it! The ambiance is great, and since the place is so large, you can likely get a table even during peak hours. The beer bar with its decent selection definitely sets it apart from other Asian restaurants. ​We enjoyed the food—it was delicious, although it wasn't as spicy as we had asked for. The huge menu offers a lot of variety, but it can also be a little overwhelming. The portions seemed moderate for the price, and maybe even a bit small compared to similar places. ​Unfortunately, the service was a bit disappointing. We felt rushed to order, with our waiter checking on us three times even when it wasn't that busy. After the food had been served, no one came back at all to check whether everything was okay. ​Overall, it's obviously a popular spot with a nice atmosphere and good food. Despite the service issue (might not be the normal), I'd still say it's worth a visit.

They have beers, if you’re a beer lover, this is the place. Fried Calamari was good, crispy, well seasoned, not too salty. Quail was gamey which I am not a fan of. Gỏi ngó sen was a rip off, only a lil ngó sen, the rest were carrots, celeries and cucumbers,and of course the shrimps were farm raised. Surely made for Americans, not authentic. Service was above average , I would come back to try other dishes.

I had Do Bien Xao To, a seafood and vegetable dish. It was delicious. The beer selection is phenomenal. There is such a diverse offerings of many styles. With my meal, I had Quetsche de Fermier from Side Project, a wine barrel fermented saison aged with plums, lovely.

Really enjoyed this place as a single lunch patron and got an excellent beer recommendation from the bartender. Lunch was superb and the atmosphere friendly. Busy place with plenty of parking

Was recommended by multiple coworkers for the Pho. Had a beer while I waited. Mug wasn't cold which i would have preferred. The spring rolls were good and so was the sauce. Not a huge parking lot but I didnt have a problem finding a spot. I ended up getting the seafood pho. Very flavorful. They were pretty busy but would be back for the food! Patrons sitting at the bar were local and friendly.

I haven’t been here in 2 years. The man at the front register recognized me and said, "haven’t seen you in a while!" Hospitality, service,food quality, beer, and bourbon have only gotten better. Quy, I miss seeing you here and the love and light you brought to this place and to the world. Thank you Mekong for this beautiful reminder of why I was inevitably drawn to the restaurant and service industry. We gain and lose restaurants, we lose people we love and babies are born. Time inexorably marches on for the creative-disaster that is Richmond. Mekong is the metronome.

Didn't eat inside, it was packed. But my to go order was fast. Got home and broth was still hot and cold touches was separated and stayed chilled. I appreciate that in a meal.
