Mekong Sandwich — Restaurant in Texas

Idk how these got such good reviews. I go to viatnamese restaurants at least once a week and let me just say this place is mediocre at best. The fried egg rolls taste like they've been previously frozen, the avacado smoothie was less than good, although I didn't have the pho (I would have ordered or but they don't even serve tendon here which is weird) I saw someone else's bowl and it looked gross--dirty even. I had the beef stew with the French bread on the side and the stew was not thick at all and the meat was super hard and not tender like this dish is normally served. The French bread was way soft which I'm used to having a crunchy exterior and it beinh soft on the inside. My fiance's pork Bahn mi was weird to. The pork looked pink and wasn't chargrillled and tasty like I normally see. Not to mention they forgot his second Bahn mi and then took forever for his smoothie! Will not be going back. Too much competition out there to settle...

I assumed I had made an error but BBQ pork bahn mi has a definition and it isn't bright red marinated pork sliced julienne. I don't even know what this is but it's not correct. The bread is awful. No crust on the outside and zero flavor or texture inside. I feel like I'm getting punished for trying something new. I did notice the patrons dining in had all ordered anything other than sandwiches so maybe they knew something I didn't but this place has sandwiches in it's name. If looking for a bahn mi and you think you'll save a buck or two you'll end up wasting the cost of the food and either having to get something elsewhere or if that was your last $7 start that fast you've been meaning to get around to since you wasted your money at a sandwich shop where no one was eating a sandwich....

I moved to Austin 4 years ago and every time I come to visit my parents in Houston, it’s a must that I come visit here. The perfectly baked bread, the incredible pork, the fresh smoothies, the amount of toppings, THE PRICE??? Omg… the price!!! I miss these prices. So many memories of going here with all of my friends as broke teenagers just looking for a cheap filling meal, and always being met with love and respect from the staff. Get the grilled pork spring rolls, a grilled pork banh mi, and an avocado smoothie. If you’re asking yourself “is this too much pork?” The answer is no. It’s delicious, you’ll be doing yourself a favor. Mekong, I love you,...
