• 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 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.”
