If you're vegetarian or vegan, make sure to get the peanut sauce instead of fish sauce with your vermicelli dish.
Bach LeSeptember 10, 2013As of September 2, 2013, Mekong River has been taken over by the original owner's daughter. The food is better now,the price is low just like it was in 1997,the year her family start this restaurant.
skyler salinasJune 24, 2011Great place despite 6th St location. Excellent tom kha, cheese rolls, green curry with friendly service.
Try the Happy Harvest - Stir-fried eggplant w/ tofu, basil, onion & bell peppers.
HillaryMay 14, 2012You get what you pay for- the signature items are the best things on the menu. The cheaper items aren't as good.- Better food and atmosphere than the previous incarnation.
Ben CombeeJune 6, 2011A reasonable place to get some Asian chow if you're stuck on 6th Street. Read more
Why are there rain gutters inside the building? Excellent pho though and cheap Chang beer
Kevin MarksMarch 13, 2009Surprisingly good vietnamese restaurant on 6th street, for when you can't take any more BBQ
Judah RichardsonNovember 26, 2011I've lived in 4 states and this is the worst Vietnamese food I've ever had
