I'm so confused by this restaurant. They have great reviews especially about their pho, so me and my family went to try their food last night. Their pho broth was terrible. Maybe it was just a bad day, but yesterday the broth had no flavour, wasn't very hot and was missing salt. Their service was great. Atmosphere was great. But for the price and quality of the food, you're better off driving 2 more minutes east to Pho House or 5 more minutes to Queensway to Pho Ngoc Yen. We spent about $70 for 3 people and we just felt scammed at the end of our meal. Maybe their other dishes are better, but I can't recommend their pho.

This is a beautiful restaurant on the Northside of Dundas at Shaver Ave. There is a lovely park behind it that you can enjoy the food also!🤗 I have only had rice but I love the atmosphere and the staff are very nice. I keep meaning to eat here I have to be in the right mood. 🤷🥰 If you're looking for a place to have a date or if just for a meal there are tennis courts and a park just behind the building. #DateNights 🥳 However the food looks delicious and I love the interior I'm often wandering around in the area because I like being outdoors. Kind People! 💯

Been here many times and to be very honest I love the food and the staff. Very tasty very helpful and polite. However, it's my first time doing take out today and the fried rice was half empty in the container, C'mon it's rice! I will be back for food but will be complaining about this.

This is a Thai Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine restaurant, they have menus from each cuisine. We came here on a Saturday evening and we ordered a pho, some fried wontons and a vermicelli dish (with spring roll and chicken). For three people this was more than enough food and we had leftovers to take home. The pho and vermicelli dish is solid but not the best we've ever had. This is a casual spot where people come to eat with their family and friends. The washrooms are in the back. You actually need to go into a hallway that is not part of the restaurant. You can see my pictures. I have to say that the service here is outstanding and very attentive. My mom dropped a pack of tissues and one of the servers went out to the parking lot to return it to her which was such a kind gesture. Would definitely come again when we're in the area.

This restaurant has Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai cuisine. I liked the phớ, mango salad, and vermicelli! The mango salad was refreshing and sweet. The phớ was flavorful but I felt like the meat was a little dry. I got to try their bánh xèo. The flavour was there but it was soggy. It’s a small place and the service was great. It’s a great place to meet with people and try new flavours.

A hidden gem. The food is prepared fresh and flavourful. Authentic tastes without having to fly to the Far East. A mix of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai favourites in a multi-page menu. The staff is attentive and friendly. The food is so good we also had a take-out order after the dinner. Reasonable priced and guaranteed you will not leave hungry. Thank you

November 22, 2024

My husband and I were craving soup for lunch recently. We decided to try Mekong River as it had decent reviews. My husband ordered the won ton soup, and I ordered the chicken Tom Yum with noodles. Unfortunately, I got some food poisoning from it. I believe it was either the tofu or the bean sprouts. I know it had to have been the soup because we ate the exact same things that day, except the soup Options.So, needless to say, we wont be back again.

I used to be a frequent customer of this restaurant and always enjoyed the food. However, on my recent visits, the quality has noticeably declined. During my latest dinner, I was disappointed by the vermicelli noodles, which had an unpleasant chlorine-like taste and had to be replaced. Although my replacement meal was supposed to be cheaper, they still charged me more because I originally ordered the shrimp vermicelli. To make matters worse, my friend found a hair in his curry. Sadly, these experiences have convinced me not to return.

It s reasonable price, but the taste is not for everyone. They put hot pepper in Pad Thai and it s has a strong pepper taste. It could taste fair if it s not call a Pad Thai. If you like creative fusion, this could be something for you.

The pho industry is getting more and more competitive these days and a lot of the focus is in the broth. I would say the broth at Mekong River is decent but it feels like it is missing something, or a kick. It tastes slightly underwhelming / unremarkable than other more popular pho places in the GTA. However, I would say the service and the speed at Mekong River is excellent for a quick lunch / fixing a crave.

This was the highest rated Vietnamese restaurant in the area and open on Jan 1, 2023 so a friend and I trudged down to the eatery. I was in the mood for some Tom Kha Gai but this place doesn t offer that. I was instead suggested Thai curries but that s not what I wanted so had to opt for Pho Gai. We also ordered mango salad, veg spring rolls, curry Pad Thai (veg + tofu), bok Chou in ginger + garlic sauce, mango milkshake and Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk. With the order, we were initially given chilli sauce and hoisin sauce. Mango salad was great and the portion wholesome. Bok Choy was good as well but could have had better flavour. Veg spring rolls were disappointing as was the pad thai and the chicken pho. It just lacked flavour - had to spice it up with the available sauces. At most of the Vietnamese restaurants I have been before this (and I have been to many), chilli oil is considered a standard supplement. When requested, I got a very small serving (which was funny) in a miniature plate but it tasted okay. Of the two staff that attended to us (one male and one female), the chap was definitely more welcoming. The milkshake was good but it needed more milk and the mango was fairly sour. The coffee was great! Overall, food is generally palatable but this place doesn t get more than 3 stars from me. Will I revisit? No.

Mekong River is a cozy and wonderful family-owned restaurant. I have much respect for them (and any family business) for surviving these last few years. The service from Richard was great, and our food, over three course, came out quite quickly. We had the fresh rolls with the delicious peanut sauce to start. Pho with brisket and rare beef was course number two - amazing!!! My bro-in-law is not used to this but he was enjoying it. It was a big portion, and equally good to the great pho houses on Spadina. I had the pad thai which was good, but my wife s red curry was top notch. Our bill was under $200 for five people including a few alcoholic beverages. The next time we are in the city we are definitely going back.

Server had a bad cold and continually coughed into her hands or didnt bother covering her mouth and coughed directly on customers tables ornoccasionslly on food she was carrying. I tried to ignore it until I watched her cough directly onto our dish as she carried it over. Was really looking forward to trying this place out but left disgusted at the lack of health and safety. I asked for our food to be packed up and mentioned how the server clearly had a bad cold and had coughed directly on us one time when standing next to the table. Other staff seemed unphased by this and didnt apologize or say anything in response. If this behavior is ok in the dining room, it really concerns me what happens behind closed doors in the kitchen.

The most tasteless pad Thai I have ever had.

December 22, 2023

Firstly, the food took over half an hour when not busy. And as for the other reviews, I do not understand them regarding the Pho. This was the most bland pho I have ever tasted. It was not oily which was good, but the broth was tasteless, minimal rare beef that had no flavour. I also had a viet iced coffee which was terrible and cleaner sat before rather than a fresh slow drip.

Meh compared to every other place. The com tam isnt even com tam, its regular grained rice. The bun heo cha gio is pretty heavy on the salad side and the vermicelli is strangely dense. The spring roll is embarrassingly small compared to competitors. Also, side note, I asked for minced chili (chili garlic) for our two dishes that basically *require* it and they had to ask me about it twice. If you know Viet food - you know theres like only one type of minced chili garlic that goes into fish sauce. Good news is that the meats were seasoned nicely. Other side note: washroom uses keys thats located outside of the restaurant in the back.

It s been a few years since I ve reviewed this restaurant. Decided to do one now because been frequently dining here over the past year. My husband loves this place. He s only 1+ year in new to the neighbourhood. We pretty much dine here 1-2x a week. Everything is always fresh and tasty. The staff is very friendly. And food comes out quickly. Prices are still decent compared to other establishments plus it s healthy! Can t go wrong! Go try it! Pho soup base is clear and tastes clean! Vegetarian options: Lots to choose from.

The vegan pho was delicious! However, the veggie fried spring roll was a small portion for the price and tasted like it was frozen for a while. Will be coming back again for the pho :)

This is the best pho place in the gta by a million points Had the rare beef pho with brisket, broth was SO GOOD, meat quality was A+. They go the extra mile, and do not cheap out like other places. I had pho at alot of places in GTA and nothing is as good as Mekong. 5star

I always go to this place when I am super hungry and craving some thai or vietnamese food. The service is quick and efficient. The food is delicious and the quantity is good enough for 2 people. You always get a table and the pricing is just value for money. Would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the cuisines they offer.

This Vietnamese mom-and-pop restaurant is my absolute favorite place to come for a wide selection of Vietnamese food including the delectable Vietnamese crepe/pancake and the Nam Vang rice noodle soup. Also worth mentioning is the ultra friendly service that you get which is often absent in asian restaurants. It has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that you feel like youre getting a home cooked meal. This place is not flashy but is clean and is as authentic as they come! A definite local gem! Parking: Free parking

Tried this place for the first time, loved that it had both Thai and Vietnamese dishes. We got pho and Thai red curry. Both were really good, the pho being AMAZING, definitely coming back for it. The quantities were very large and the pricing was very reasonable. The crispy spring rolls were also great, along with the service. The only thing I d skip out on is the mango sticky rice, it s not mango season so that I understand but it had too many sesame seeds it was all I could taste and not enough condensed milk/coconut milk for sweetness. Will definitely visit this restaurant again.

I absolutely love this place. Been here three times so far and each time I was very happy with the food and the service. The staff is super kind and remembered me just after one time which I thought was really nice. The pho is delicious, my family eats every bite happily. Cant say enough good things. If youre hungry for pho, look no further.

Food overall: B. Tried three different dishes. I d say slightly above average for an Asian spot. Beware if you have a peanut allergy, they add peanuts to many dishes that other similar restaurants don t, without explicitly saying that in the menu. They did take it back in and make a new one thankfully.
