This place is simply an insult to Vietnamese restaurants. Really I love dealing with people of the culture of the restaurant when I visit a restaurant but this is something you actually advertise as one of the benefits of your place. When this was in Coralville it was great. You took away everything that made it interesting. No more Ban Mi. The prices are gouging. So glad we have a new Vietnamese place in Coralville no more going to Cedar Rapids to get my fix.

I was really impressed upon entering the restaurant, as the atmosphere is very nice. The service was top notch and very prompt. Best of all, the Beef Pho and Vietnamese spring rolls I ordered tasted just as great as the ones I had while vacationing in Asia. I was also very happy because the prices were excellent, the serving size was good, and you get hot tea without having to pay extra for it. Definitely my new favorite Asian restaurant in Iowa City.

I dont know why this place has 4.5 stars. The food here is gross. Im Vietnamese and they serve Vietnamese food that is not good at all. The crepes were soggy and the sauce is nasty. The springrolls had bad sprimp. The pad Thai isnt even pad Thai. The Saigon chicken is pulled chicken over a weird seasoned rice. The only thing good there was the chicken satay.

We love the food, service and the fact that is locally-owned!!! The family who owns the restaurant always treats us like family when we go there for dinner. We have taken our family, friends and out of town guests there and they all have loved the food, the spirits and the atmosphere!!! The wait staff are excellent and very attentive!!!

I was appalled to find a totally different menu and that new owners had taken over despite at the time we ate here everything still said Mekong. Food is very different and not good. I miss the old staff. The new people definitely do not compare.

The Pho is fresh, other entrees have subtle flavors that really go deep on your pallet. Spicy entrees have a nice kick without requiring you to finish the carafe of water in front of you & are very affordable for the IC/Coralville area.

Amazing everything! We have moved away from the area for 2 years and still talk about this place! Every time were back in IC we go have some of the huge servings of delicious soup or the amazing dinner plates! Will always be a fan!

New favorite for take out or dine in. All the classic Chinese dishes available along with lots of other options including Thai dishes. Reasonably priced and excellent service. Great for dine in or carry out.

Great food. Real food, not highly processed. Will definitely come back. We were seated right away, the service was great, the food was served quickly. It was a great evening out!

New owners. Food was not good at all. Removed my favorite dish--hot braised chicken. Sauces were very sweet and jelly-like consistency. Will not go back. Good service.

Hoping for a rebound Mekong was one of my favorites. You have to look at this as a new restaurant. I believe we got there too soon before they were established.

Every Chinese dish Ive had here has no comparison to your typical Chinese restaurant. Beer selection is decent as well. Party group reservations accepted.

Solid food, good prices, fast service. Ambiance was lacking though - as the place was pretty empty when I went. Owner is very friendly.

Poor attempts at simple well know Vietnamese dishes (authentic or not). Pricey mediocre food in a stuffy environment.

Didnt think the food was very good. Tried the pho and it was pretty bad. Service and atmosphere were great though.

This used to be my favorite Pho place! They now have new ownership and it wasnt close to being the same.

Bland pho, bland lemon chicken. Completely tasteless green curry. Even the tea was lukewarm.
