Mekong — Restaurant in Great Britain

Mekong offers a satisfying jaunt into Eastern cuisine, delivering well-priced, tasty dishes that offer a good value-for-money proposition. The flavours present a comforting blend that can easily find takers amongst those seeking an introduction to Oriental cuisine.

However, it becomes apparent that Mekong's culinary repertoire is predominantly tailored to appease Western palates. This is not necessarily a downfall but rather a missed opportunity to showcase the full depth and breadth of the culinary traditions the East has to offer.

While the food is certainly enjoyable, those seeking an immersive, authentic journey into the rich and diverse flavours of Eastern cuisine may find Mekong's offerings a tad bit diluted. The restaurant seems to play it safe, perhaps too safe, by opting for a 'universal appeal' approach. The result is dishes that are agreeable but lack the adventurous edge and complexity one might expect from an establishment touting Oriental cuisine.

In essence, Mekong delivers a pleasant dining experience with a reasonable price tag and good food. However, it stops short of capturing the true essence of Eastern cuisine. For the uninitiated, it offers a decent starting point, but for the more seasoned palates, Mekong might lack the adventurous flair and authenticity they seek. Nonetheless, it's worth a visit for a quick, affordable taste...

There was little meat on them. Perfect for a child but tiny for adult for the price. Maybe I ordered the wrong main. I skipped lunch knowing we were going for dinner. Starter was hot and sour chicken soup, it was lovely but still very small. Over priced for portions size even in...

Delicious food, fast service and very polite, attentive staff! Loved the atmosphere and the decor inside, although a little cold for my liking. Overall a very pleasant experience. Although when a waiter came to take our starter dishes, what looked like a manager grabbed her arm slightly aggressively and pulled her away from our table. This seemed very impolite to do in front of customers, however she was perfectly pleasant with us! But this was one off moment in an otherwise lovely evening. Highly...
