Mekong Restaurant

• Nice settings. Clean, friendly. Good chicken wing appetizer.
• Incredibly bad beef curry.

“I dined just recently at the Mekong, and was a little dismayed. I had the Mekong chicken wings as well, and these were quite good, but my entree of curry beef with rice was without a doubt the worst curry dish I've every sampled in my life. The menu is very sparse on details for this dish (it says mainly beef cooked with curry). It doesn't mention the veggies (which in this case I'm assuming were bamboo shoots, some cabbage and onions. I could be wrong as they were cooked to a blandish consistency). The menu lists spicy. This dish was very spicy. The beef in the dish (which I'm taking on face value, because the flavor of beef was devoid of this particular dish) was badly cooked, and the texture itself was like eating a used dish sponge. The veggies in question actually tasted dirty (as in bits of unidentifiable particulate all through out. Too bad, because place does really look nice. They've recently moved down riverside drive from the recent flooding, and the new location has ambiance. It just doesn't have decent food.”

• The waiter was really fun; he treated us like a couple of old pals.
• I have no complaints.

“The waiter was a blast, the food was even more amazing than I remembered. I could eat a bucket of them. I can't wait to go back.”

• ^Well, obviously you see we hate this restaurant and will never give it a recommendation.

“Ive never smelled such a bad smell in my life. I have no idea how people are supposed to eat in there. The Manager was standing at the bar while our order took over 40 minutes. She must have been real busy counting her pimples. Thats not me trying to be a complainer. She really had no clue with was going on. Portly people probably shouldnt work in this field.”

• Everything.

“It is a trashy place that is in need of renovation. The service was slow, and when we had to talk to a manager. He seemed like he could care less about what we were saying. And top it all off our steaks was over cooked. Worst place to get a steak in Iowa City.”

• The food and service are great.
• I don't like to drive out to Coralville

“The Mekong Restaurant is my favorite Asian restaurant in the Iowa City area. The food is absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend the Mekong chicken wings; I have never been a fan of chicken wings, but these are delicious. Other delights are the hot and sour soup, the phi, and the spring rolls. The food is delicious, and the prices are affordable. It is definitely worth a visit.”
