Le Mekong Vietnamese Restaurant — Restaurant in Moline

Disappointing experience for the price. The price point for the entrées are $20-$28 but the value of the amount of food (and flavors) that were given is more like $15-$18. For example, I ordered the hot & spicy chicken which came with a one bowl of rice and about a medium size bowl of topping. the spring rolls for $6 was only two very thin fried eggrolls. Also there’s an additional convenience fee of 4% because I used my debit card.

The food flavors are average at best. Quantity is low for what you had to pay for it. Vietnamese flavors are missing fish sauce and more developed spicy flavors.

The atmosphere is clean. The service is OK not talkative. not super friendly yet responsive. No one needed to come fill water so after bringing the food there really wasn’t much attention on our table of six. they were able to give us individual checks which we appreciated.

It’s a white tablecloth dining experience so you’re expecting a little bit of a higher class the food, service and overall dining experience which is not prevalent the evening we came.

Parking is going to be on the street or around the corner of the parking lot however I don’t think it’d be too difficult in downtown Moline unless there’s a big conference going on.

I’d rather have pizza at Tony’s down the road.

Note my rating system: 1 Star: I wouldn't recommend 2 Stars: Didn't hit my standards 3 Stars: Average (nothing special) 4 Stars: Above Average. Would recommend. Still looking for the 5 Star. 5 Stars: Top of their game. Great food. Great service. Would recommend and plan...

The waiter sat me at a very small table in the back of their restaurant right next to the bathrooms even though there were several open tables in the front. I ask to move, he then just sat me at a another very small table right next to the first table right next to the bathrooms. I ask to move again. I then pointed to a table near the windows away from the bathrooms. I was seated there, but then no one came to ask if I wanted anything to drink. I sat there for a long time without any service. Finally, I signaled to the waiter, he nodded at me, and walked right by, leaving me still without service. After my husband and I ordered, we again waited for a super long time. We noticed the waiter was at the table next to us talking to the couple there. Finally the waiter left that table and brought us our food, which was now cold because the waiter talked to the couple for a very long time and neglected to bring us our food when it was ready. The waiter never came back to check on us and ask if our food was fine. At the end of the meal, I went to use the restroom and a toilet was completely back up pouring dirty water all over the floor which now was flooding into the one and only other clean stall. I will not return. My husband and I are sad because this use to be one of our date night restaurants we always went to before we...

Overall a terrible experience. When we sat down, we were one of 5 tables with any people at them, all of which were parties of 2-4--between the two waitresses there. It took almost 10 minutes for them to come ask for our drinks, and almost another 10 before we actually got them (tea and water was all we ordered). After we ordered our food, a few other tables filled up and our service became even more sparse. It took almost an HOUR for three orders of Pho to show up. During that time I had to ask each waitress once for more water--and in the end, I got up and grabbed the water container from behind the bar myself just so I could have something to drink. There was no sense of urgency amongst the wait staff, and the restaurant was not filled to a point where they were constantly moving. I saw more than once one of the waitresses on her phone in the back just surfing for a few minutes before coming back out to ignore us longer.

The only redeeming quality is that the Pho was quite good. If you dont value your time and want some tasty food, this is the place to go. If you are in any sort of time schedule whatsoever, I would suggest avoiding...
