Vietnam Mekong Restaurant — Restaurant in Regina

We have been on the search for a good Asian restaurant for about a year now for take out since our favorite Vietnamese food restaurant in the East End closed down. We ordered from Mekong several years ago but it was in competition with our old favorite restaurant and we found it a bit more expensive plus it was way on the other end of town. We have since moved to the area and our old favorite restaurant shut down. We hadn't yet found a place that compared. I told my husband we have to stop looking Chinese and go Vietnamese again. And Mekong is close to us now.

We also had the Vietnamese spring rolls that were super crunchy and a great mouthfeel. We both came out super full. I would love to return to try the pho, but dang...

Terrible. I went there based on the positive reviews I had seen. Well to be honest, it's a restaurant that specializes in Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese food. They can't cook any of the following. Our food was over cooked and dried out with very little flavor. My wife ordered lemon grass chicken, but it looked like bites of fried chicken with no seasoning at all.
