Mekong 1965 — Restaurant in Cần Thơ

This is a busy spot, especially with foreigners, but we had a very bad experience. We ordered the a sweet and sour pork dish, and we discovered some of the pork was undercooked and completely raw. We only noticed it towards the end of the meal. When we showed the raw meat to the owner, his response was shocking. He told us it was our fault for not noticing it sooner and sending it back!!!! It was a crazy and deeply concerning response to a serious health risk. When we asked for the bill, there was no apology or discount offered. We had to argue with the owner just to discuss the issue and his explanation was the meat was cooked from frozen so it's normal to be like this!!!! This restaurant has terrible customer service and dangerous cooking standards. Be careful if you eat here as it seems to be the customers job to make sure the restaurant...

There are lots of very good local restaurants in Can Tho, including a good number of vegan ones. International options are more limited though, especially for vegetarians and vegans. But this place is wonderful. The quality is excellent, they have a vast menu with a wide range of both Vietnamese and international dishes, almost everything comes with a vegetarian or vegan option. I sometimes come here to satisfy cheese cravings with their quesadillas, but their Vietnamese food is also very good. They also do very good salad and the fruit juice is real fruit juice with no added sugar.

Popular with both locals and foreigners, depending what time you come. I can't praise it...

I visited this small restaurant and can recommend much. It does not look a fance western restaurant; so don't go tehre is you expect so! But if you want to taste more a small authentic place, then this can suite you. We also had a nice chat in relatively good English with the owner. He is now an older man, started the business in 1965. Also the photos from the war in Saigon confirmed the ambiance. We took Vietnamese pancake with shrimps and chicken and the taste was very good; and so was also the stone-pot tofu plus mushrooms. Thsi combined with a chilled Saigin Special beer, we enjoyed much this nice...
