Mike PeckNovember 30, 2015Unquestionably the best Asian food I've had since being in the Far East. Amazing beer selection too. Staff is friendly. This place is a great place to go for regularly schedule outingsUpvoted 3 weeks ago
RVA BadgeJanuary 31, 2012Mekong has the most extensive offerings of Belgian and American Craft Beer. Consistently making national Best of Lists when it comes to beer offering, Mekong is a "must see" for any beer enthusiasts.
sanchelle charlesAugust 6, 2016I had the spring rolls and the seafood flat noodles, I got mine spicy and it was the best! Additionally I tried the Cider also amazing!!
Visit Richmond VAMarch 21, 2013This roomy Vietnamese restaurant boasts an extensive menu with pho, noodle salads, broken rice, fried rice and house specialties. Mekong also offers an extensive list of local and imported beers.
Awesome beer selection, pork chops over broken rice (and then get another to go!). Add spring rolls and the hot and sour soup. Ginger flounder is another fav. Been coming here since they opened in '95
Justin BFebruary 26, 2023Fantastic spot. Maybe the best pho Iâve personally ever had. The Com Thit Nuong is absolutely incredible also. Finally they have an amazing selection of beers!
Steve PhiferJune 21, 2019If you cannot find something you like at Mekong you are doing it wrong or you just can't be satisfied. Excellent food and a killer craft beer selection.
I always get the Eggplant Tofu. You pay at the entrance when you leave. Lots of Belgian beers. Often busy, but lots of tables. Parking can be tight but there is a lot in the back.
WayneJanuary 4, 2019Amazing food Vietnamese cuisine; this is a must if you enjoy this type of cuisine and craft beer! An amazing selection of rotating craft beers!- Daniel GraysonJanuary 27, 2020What the hell is this? An incredible Vietnamese restaurant with a massive tap list and a speciality in Belgian beer? Yes, please.
Pho wasn't the best I've had, but other dishes were great (4 times in 10 days). Great Vietnamese food with 50 beers on tap. Can't go wrong.
kenn stonerJune 9, 2017Mekong is "the local place" for Vietnamese food. My friend choose it for the famous beer selection. I don't drink beer so that speciality is lost on me. However, I find the food and service friendly.- The upgraded tap selection is awesome! There are at least 10 sours on tap all the time blueberry nightmare is phenomenal as are the crispy spring rolls. An you da man
Not nearly the best Pho in the area, but rice noodle salad and crispy spring rolls are to die for. And beer is definitely a theme here. Just awesome!
William CorrellNovember 5, 2014If you don't know know Mekong, you're missing one of the highest rated craft beer bars in the nation!
- J. Gregory WrightFebruary 23, 2018Clay pot style dishes are excellent - and OMG, the beer list! When coming to Mekong though, be prepared to park _behind_ the strip mall.
- pookieface mcsnickensSeptember 12, 2012The Vietnamese food is delish but what really sets this place apart is its extensive selection of Belgian beers. The draft list is generally packed with up to 15 different beers.
Great beer, great food, and the Answer is just around back!
Meghan PhelpsJanuary 22, 2016Fantastic beer selection. When they close up head around to the back of the building to The Answer bar. They have games.
Love all the options for being a veggie! Also, this is shown as $$$$ & it isn't that expensive. Avg dinner $10-20.- Annie ChoiJune 30, 2013Amazing beer selection, Vietnamese food, and friendly service. What more could you ask for? I love their catfish!
Joanne KarunakaranDecember 4, 2015They offer a veggie-packed PhĂČ, just note that the broth is not vegetarian. Casual atmosphere.
You already know about the awesome tap selection, but you may not know that their clay pot tofu is extremely delicious
BT WillcoAugust 5, 2013KILLER beer selection; ok food. Baby squid heads were lacking and the five spice beef with onions, peppers, and bok choy had measly beef portions,maybe 2 peppers,and little flavor.
Julia Lord NickleOctober 18, 2014While the pho might not be the best in RVA, the beer selection makes up for it!
Great if you are here for beer, wouldn't recommend based on service. Haven't been impressed with this place since it became awesomely trendy.- Marshall JohnsonMarch 18, 2013Here now the beer selection is great the food is always good. The Pho is a once a week treat got to have it.
Michael RitcheyAugust 14, 2014Best beer selection in Richmond. Food is very good and I enjoyed the iced coffee.
Vermicelli bowls and roll your own are the way to go. Super fresh and yummy!
Get the wings-which aren't always on the menu, just ask for them, you'll be happy you did
Get The Andall, An's special blend of Dogfish Head, Six Point Resin and two vanilla beans. It's a big one!
Best beer joint in town. An is the king with his sol-tache. Don't let the outside dissuade you. People who know beer come here.
Elias SavadaNovember 11, 2013Superb beer selection and great food. If in Richmond a must visit for any beer enthusiast.- Great food, great atmosphere, great staff, incredible beer!!!
If you don't know An you should. He's worth the visit alone.
The roll your own spring rolls is my fav! Fresh and you get to make them yourself.
