Mekong Restaurant — Restaurant in County Westmeath

Today I was invited to Mekong for dinner and my experience was terrible! I ordered Wok Stir Fried Duck with Teriyaki sauce and steamed Japanese rice. Rice was unprocessed and aged at least 4 hours, the duck was dry and rubbery, like I would eat old beef. On top of that, cut some vegetables on large pieces, all mixed with teriyaki sauce for half a minute. Such a quality meal could be cooked by a 15-year-old student without knowledge of Japanese or Chinese cooking. When I asked waiters what kind of kitchen they were, they answered that they were one of Asian cuisine.

We did dine across the street at Ilia cafe which was a great experience and quite nice steak, wraps, nice salads and a pasta white sauce dish, vegetable soup and an amazingly kind waitress.She helped us put together wonderful tarts and pastries for my aunt who we were in visiting at a local nursing home. Advice to staff : No room for belligerent behaviors in the service industry. Be respectful to all customers including children and your business will grow. Treat people poorly leads to failure in...
