Mekong Asian Bistro — Restaurant in Portland

Throughly mediocre. There were burnt bits in my Bangkok noodles, leaving a bitter after taste after most bites. Somehow, the noodles were a bit dry as well. Usually a spot like this would have too much grease but here they did not have enough.

The starter crisps were okay but they have this dipping sauce which needs to go back to the drawing board completely. I think it's supposed to be sort of sweet but the vinegar entirely overpowers it. Whoever insisted on that mix obviously does not care enough to have tried it before putting it out or has a terrible pallete.

The server working was nice enough but there was some woman sitting at the bar on her laptop being loud and obnoxious the whole time. No one else was there just talking to herself, on the phone or talking at the worker. I can only assume this was the owner or a stakeholder of some kind. Completely unprofessional. People like this who like to sit out with their computers so they can pretend they work as hard as their labor force when really they could not work any of the positions if they were forced to by circumstance.

Absolutely will not be going back here. Wasn't terrible but not worth the drive out. These people need to go back to the drawing board, there is better food...

Loved Mekong Asian Bistro! The restaurant is very well kept. The wait staff was kind, attentive, and generally very helpful. Offering tips and a smile. They are branded on Google as a Chinese restaurant, but they seem to be operated by a Thai ownership. I love it, because Thai food rocks! All the curry tasted was really good, the Pad Thai, Asian fusion crab Rangoon, tofu egg soup, and the Cambodian style Mee Katang was all on-point. The lunch specials were all good portions at a great price. All the lunch specials included white or brown rice, a crab Rangoon with wonton crisps, and a small bowl of homemade tofu-egg soup. Everything came out of the kitchen super hot! There is an abundance of parking off-street. I hate to admit it, but I ate at about 4 different places today…..shared items….I promise! But Mekong Asian Bistro was the stand-out of the day by far! I will...

I ordered the Massaman Curry with Tofu and it was the best Massaman curry I've had ever in my life (and I have been to Thailand before). Everything from the toasted peanuts, potatoes, pineapple, tomatoes, onions, the peanuty sauce... just so so so good. I got it two days in a row just because it was so good. AND the restaurant was kind enough to give me some free soup because they forgot the side of rice I ordered from the day before (even though they had already refunded it... hey accidents happen, I wasn't mad about it the day before- it's how you respond to mistakes that defines you and this place was great). I would post a picture of the food but I already ate it all seriously so good. Now I'm just going to have to exercise some self control to not order it a third...
