Mekong BK

Mekong is a neighborhood favorite of mine. And with their extensive menu and very helpful staff, no matter the season I always find something that really hits the spot. In the winter, the Iron Pot Lemongrass Curry w/ Tofu is such delicious comfort food. In the warmer months, I like doing the Bun vermicelli w/ pork and Khanh Hoa Farmer's Egg Noodles as a one-two punch. You'll also notice that Mekong has one of the coolest interiors of any restaurant in the neighborhood. This place just oozes a welcoming and comforting vibe that you will be in no hurry to leave.

Nice atmosphere for a place with standard Vietnamese fare. Prices were a bit high, but you're paying for the atmosphere, location, and good food. Pork chops were delicious. I enjoyed the tenderness and charring. The wrapper for the spring rolls had an interesting texture. They reminded me of a Chinese crispy birds nest but more delicate. The team serving us were attentive and efficient.

Great Vietnamese spot in Fort Greene! We stopped in for lunch around 2pm on a Sunday and there was plenty of space for walk-ins. It can be busy at night, especially on weekends, so going for lunch was perfect. We ordered the crispy spring rolls, beef pho (which they split in two bowls for us) and the bahn mi sandwich. All were great and we left very full. Service was very quick and just what we needed on a cold afternoon. Excited to come back to try other items!

Love this place. There are so many options, and all dishes that we got were delicious and had fairly big portions, reasonable price. I loved the vegetarian fried spring rolls—the filling texture was very meat-like. As well as the iron pot lemongrass curry—the blend of flavors are perfect! My husband also gobbled up his coconut chicken curry. Would highly recommend this place!

The Pho is great. The owner puts great emphasis on quality and service. The bartender is not aware of this. He is rude. My recommendation: order take-out for delivery rather than pick up and eat where the waitress is serving you. All interactions with the bartender should be avoided. I noted that I ate for dine-in but I have eaten here for dine-in, take-out, and delivery and will say that the food is always the same level of good.
