    Mekong 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.

    Unquestionably 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 outings

    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

    If 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.

    Fantastic spot. Maybe the best pho I’ve personally ever had. The Com Thit Nuong is absolutely incredible also. Finally they have an amazing selection of beers!

    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.

    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.

    Mekong 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.

    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!

    Clay pot style dishes are excellent - and OMG, the beer list! When coming to Mekong though, be prepared to park _behind_ the strip mall.

    The 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.

    Love all the options for being a veggie! Also, this is shown as $$$$ & it isn't that expensive. Avg dinner $10-20.

    KILLER 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.

    They offer a veggie-packed PhĂČ, just note that the broth is not vegetarian. Casual atmosphere.
