Was here in the last month, this spot is a gem. Best Thai food I’ve had in SD, the drunken noodle is next level and probably best I’ve had in Southern California. Excellent food, service, and people. Will be back again for sure

I visited this restaurant for lunch to try their Thai and Laos fusion cuisine for the first time. At first, I was the only customer, but soon the place got busy. My order consisted of Thum Khao Poon, Grilled Pork Collar, Sticky Rice, and Thai Coffee - all of which were delicious. The service was excellent, especially from one of the two waiters who spoke Thai and was exceptionally friendly.

Food and service are amazing here! We ordered Thai tea, the som tum (papaya salad) Lao style, the crying tiger, fried chicken, and sticky rice. Super yummy and well-seasoned!

Only have done take out but man this place is pretty damn good for Thai and Laos food. Spicy level is def Asian spicy which a good kick. All of their popular items are delicious! Clean nice space as well. Parking is the only crappy thing about this place. Give them a try you won’t be disappointed!

Went here during lunch break. The food was good and came out relatively fast. The price was a little steep, but, I guess everything in San Diego is. The soup I had was fantastic and everyone who went with us was happy with their food.

Came here to get lunch because a friend was visiting and he really wanted some good Thai food.

This place was lovely!

Really good portion size for the food, especially for all the noodle dishes.

Husband got the Chicken Pad Thai and it was beautiful. Medium spice level and that was just the perfect right amount of spice. Good amount of chicken in there and the sauce was so flavorful. I could have eaten that whole plate myself as well. It was hard to resist.

Friend got the Drunken Noodles with Tofu. He thoroughly enjoyed the food as well. Almost finished the entire plate but only couldn't because it was a lot of food, haha.

I got the Fresh Spring Rolls with shrimp. Asked for less noodles and extra vegetables and they delivered on this very well. Spring rolls came with a sweet and spicy sauce with some crushed peanuts in there and that was lovely. That sauce was good even on its own.

Also got the Chicken Satay. Was a little surprised by the look of this because it was more like sliced chicken breast that was cooked with the flavoring (different from the skewer concept that I have seen at other restaurants). Chicken was also a little bit oily so I had to use a tissue paper to wipe it out.
The peanut sauce that it came with though... That was unbelievably amazing!! I actually had spoonfuls of that sauce by itself. Also use that sauce for the spring rolls. I wouldn't mind a giant portion of just that peanut sauce. It really was good!

Nice ambiance of the place as well. It wasn't overly fancy but nice.

VERY personal service
Bathrooms are SUPER clean
Food was amazing (if I had a second stomach, I would've ordered more!)

Drove down from North County to try the thai here! Inside is cute, semi casual lots of beautiful happy plants, and clean ambiance. I had never been here and was pleasantly surprised by the amounts and variety of delicious veggies in the Tom Yum soup. Also tried the Panang curry with wild caught Salmon, just wonderful paired with the Laos Golden Beer! Perfect for a cold rainy night like tonight. I will definitely be back.

Service was great, food was amazing. You can tell everything they do is top notch. One of the top thai spots in san diego

Food and service are amazing here! We ordered Thai tea, the som tum (papaya salad) Lao style, the crying tiger, fried chicken, and sticky rice. Super yummy and well-seasoned!

Staff, food, service was superb! The Thai Coffee was phenomenal and gave me the wake-up I wanted ! Will return for more! <3

This place is too overpriced. Just cause they did a remodel they up the price on the food. I bought noodle soup and it’s double the price of normal bowl of soup for $25 total I can get 2 bowls of soup elsewhere. Will reconsider coming here till they know not to charge customers an arm and a leg just for a soup.

Food is good. But it is over priced with very little amount of food.

Food was very good. Service was good as well.

Had a sweet tooth and only stopped by to try the mango sticky rice. It's been awhile since I've had some and I was a bit hesitant since I was introducing the dessert to my gf for the first time. Needless to say she thought it was subpar and insulted my childhood. For this, I will never eat another mango sticky rice again..
Jk. Definitely going back for more😁

Was here in the last month, this spot is a gem. Best Thai food I’ve had in SD, the drunken noodle is next level and probably best I’ve had in Southern California. Excellent food, service, and people. Will be back again for sure

Delicious food; excellent, friendly service; and a stylish, relaxing atmosphere. Would return and recommend to others.

Khao Soi is great. Service is good. AVOID the mango sticky rice. It wasn't even ripe

I will keep coming back!

Very tasteful decor, very pleasant atmosphere. Accommodating and attentive staff. Menu is very original and interesting. You can taste fresh spices and ingredients in the dishes. The only downside is that most of their dishes are super sweet and once you had a meal it feels like you had 2-3 desserts. And they cant remove the sugar from most of them - its premixed. So this sugar part is really unexpected and a bit weird…

VERY personal service

Ok for real, I am a Thai snob. Out of 10 places I try I may get 1 I think is decent. Holy crap best drunken noodles I’ve ever had. I will be dreaming of that dish until I come back! For reals get the drunken noodles and you’ll be hooked! Service was great and friendly too!🤤

Mekong is easily one of our favorite places to get high quality curries, noodles, and many other dishes!
We’ve tried the Pumpkin curry (10/10), the crispy rice salad (10/10), Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, egg rolls, spring rolls, and I’m sure I’m missing a few! But every single thing we order always ends up being just as good as the last thing!
This last time, I got the avocado curry 🍛 which was the perfect blend of creamy and spicy!
We also tried the Gai Lan, which is a crispy pork and Chinese broccoli dish! We will absolutely be back to get both of these dishes again!
Go support this business as they keep on improving the area, the space and the Convoy community!

I am Thai.It's the best boat noodles I have tried in San Diego. Taste like the boat noodles I had in Thailand. I do love it. It's my favorite restaurant for boat noodles.

Previously 5 starts and my review was: "Good Thai food and not too expensive"

Updated review:
Overpriced. I guess they took a cue from McDonald's playbook. The prices are nearly doubled what they were before their renovation.

The quality of the food doesn't match. We got three things and the total price was $90. The beef noodle soup had half the amount of soup we expected. The Nam Khao Tod came with only three pieces of lettuce until I asked for more. And no crispy rice bits. The last one was a dish on their seasonal menu. It all tasted good, but the presentation didn't match the price they charged.

Unfortunately, now we probably won't be regulars. Which is unfortunate because the renovation definitely improved the vibe.

Only have done take out but man this place is pretty damn good for Thai and Laos food. Spicy level is def Asian spicy which a good kick. All of their popular items are delicious! Clean nice space as well. Parking is the only crappy thing about this place. Give them a try you won’t be disappointed!

We've ordered from here twice now and the food was fantastic. I could eat the nam khao tod every day. Looking forward to trying other stuff.

Went here during lunch break. The food was good and came out relatively fast. The price was a little steep, but, I guess everything in San Diego is. The soup I had was fantastic and everyone who went with us was happy with their food.

Great service from not just my server but the others. Great food. Noticed beautiful presence of the food. My broccolini in my stew was perfect texture crunchy and soft. got #29 Yen-ta-go

we been here before..but it was not as beautiful as it is now...and the service was top notch!!...wife had beef jerky with rice and I had my favorite crying Tiger!!...medium rare...perfectly done with coconut shrimp

Updated:
Over the last 8 months we noticed a decline in service. It has gotten to a point where we wont go to Mekong because their prices doubled on some thing and when they get the order wrong they don't fix the issue. How can you be sold out of items an hour after opening?

Bottom line: I can get better food for less price elsewhere and better service. Remodel is nice though...

Original posting:
Let me preface this review with everyone has a different experience. Also let me put out there that this woman owned restaurant took ownership a year-and-a-half ago are for any review prior to that is Null and void.

My experience was phenomenal. I had winnin having a blah day and I've noticed that when I'm in not the best of moods my food doesn't always. However, this was one of the most amazing Thai experiences I have ever had. For this review I will do a run down of what I ordered.

1. Beef jerky: it wasn't too spicy it wasn't too salty it wasn't too sweet. It was cut not too thick and perfectly so that it wasn't chewy. The flavor was great!

2. Crab Rangoon: fried perfect to a Golden brown and had a larger amount of filling. The plum sauce wasn't overwhelming it was a perfect balance of flavors.

3. Shrimp pad Thai: backstory I can't handle any spice and I asked for a 1 because I read previous reviews and they are inaccurate. The sauce isn't too sweet like a lot said. 1 is way too spicy for me but I lived the flavor so much I pushed through till I was stuffed. It says something when I'll Sacrifice my mouth bc I like the underlying flavor. Will most definitely order again without the spice.

4. Red curry beef spice 1: this dish was my husband's and he loved it. It was less spicy at their level 1 of this dish then the pad thai. I actually enjoyed the broth flavors from this dish and I have a hard time with curry. The peppers were cooked perfect too!

5. Complementary monday or coconut milk, half and half and tapioca. The dish came with cantaloupe but I have an allergy to it so I got it without. The salty and sweet of this was just perfect and topped the meal with cooling my mouth from my pad thai.

10/10 experience this woman owned business is wonderful and I look forward to returning. Remember the reviews from over 1.5 yrs ago are null and void since it is new ownership. I was able to talk to the staff and they were all nice and I was able to talk to the owner and she was very friendly and helpful.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. We came because of the great ratings on Google. I ordered the Spring Rolls (very fresh, crunchy and tasty) and the Khao Soi (a curry noodle soup) which was excellent. My daughter ordered the Mok Nor Mai (a steamed dish with pork) and she said it was not as good as the other things we ordered. For dessert we ordered the Mango Sticky Rice. It was very syrupy sweet, tasty but overpriced at $13. I enjoyed the experience and I might go back again to try other things.

Love Mekong for their food, wine, and hospitality. We loved the Nam Khao Tod, which they made vegetarian with a tofu substitution for sausage.

Finally!! We’re new to San Diego and have been sorely disappointed in most of the Asian restaurants we’ve tried. But this is the real deal!!

The food was good but not quite as flavorful as other places nearby and it was a little on the pricey side for what you get. Expect to pay $20-$25 per dish.

Hard to find something wrong with this beautiful establishment. Very peaceful, timely service and incredible flavorful meals. This is the place I’ll be recommending to family and friends!

We ordered to go. Food was terrific. The owner was as friendly as could be. I look forward to returning.

Mekong has always been great but it’s such a beautiful restaurant now post-renovation. Wonderful service and amazing food as always. The Laab and Khao Soi are particularly lovely. If you like red curry but want something a little different, try Kaho Soi. Will be back soon!

I came here on May 4th of this year planning to have Lao/Thai food with a friend for lunch. The restaurant was undergoing an expansion but there was no sign on the door of any explanations. Therefore, my friend and I along with two other customers, thought the business had closed down. As of now, they are fully operating, per the owner.

The food is good, but the hours are not correct.

After a long day at the Zoo, we were back at the Old Town Inn and after a few days in San Diego we couldn’t handle another park food, American food or Mexican food type meal, so we turned to uber eats and found a promo. We got green curry, pad Thai, spring rolls and salad rolls. Oh Em Gee!!! All of it was amazing and just a refreshing meal compared to our previous heavy meals. Coming from Vancouver, Canada where Asian food rules all, this would totally fly. It was Vancouver quality! If I ever come back to San Diego i’ll make sure to drop by the actual restaurant.

Fantastic food! Best Thai food we’ve found in San Diego. Not a fancy place but the service is great and food is excellent.

Over-priced!!! I ordered Larb and it was mostly lettuce, and level 4 spicy is not that spicy.

Absolutely tasty food! This just went to my topmost Thai restaurant. Had a try of the Mango, Red and Green curries and loved them all but my best was the green curry. It was delightfully flavorsome and delicious. Generous portions and guilt-free!

Great for our kids too so a big plus!

Great food and super friendly staff. Food was authentic as can be. Every plate tasted like a home cooked meal. Prices are reflected by their portion size.

Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai, & Basil Fried Rice were all delicious!

Man, Na Ka Tom, was AMAZING, first time here and highly recommend!! Great dish, great service. Will be back!!

One of the few Lao restaurants in San Diego. Nice to try this cuisine and eat different foods. We ordered the Laap which is ground meat mixed with ground roasted rice, chili, lime juice, onions, scallions, cilantro and mint leaves. Then we also ordered a meat soup dish as well as a side of sticky rice. Really nice food and everything tasted really good as well,

This is a great alternative to Plumeria if you are vegetarian and want to get a decent meal. There is not quite as much variety in terms of veggie options (because it's not entirely veggie) but they are their if you are with meat eating friends.

Food tasted okay but man when did Thai food get so expensive? $19 for a plate of chicken pad see ew is crazy.

We had a pretty large group dinner here a couple weeks ago and the food was excellent! We got a variety of more common Thai dishes like drunken noodles as well as some of their Laotian dishes like Sai Oua and Nam Khao Tod. Highly recommend the Nam Khao Tod!

We ordered the khao soi, pork collar, and nam khao tod. The nam khao tod is personally not my cup of tea, but the khao soi is spot on and the pork collar is so flavorful. Staff is friendly and attentive, would love to come here again!

Drove down from North County to try the thai here! Inside is cute, semi casual lots of beautiful happy plants, and clean ambiance. I had never been here and was pleasantly surprised by the amounts and variety of delicious veggies in the Tom Yum soup. Also tried the Panang curry with wild caught Salmon, just wonderful paired with the Laos Golden Beer! Perfect for a cold rainy night like tonight. I will definitely be back.

Pretty solid food in the area! It seemed every restaurant in SD was crazy busy on a Sunday night. Luckily we stumbled upon this place and it didn't disappoint!

My friends and I shared a couple dishes and we were lucky to grab a big table for the 8 of us. Here is what I tried and my ratings on them:

+ Nam Khao Tod (4/5): This is really good! Very authentic. Crunchy rice and very flavorful. Fresh lettuce!! I think if I'm picky, a little more fish sauce and like would have been perfect. The green onions were also chopped too big for me.

+ Beef Jerky (5/5): Some of THE BEST Lao beef jerky I have ever had! Each piece was succulent and moist. Seasoned perfectly and great texture. The jeow was really tasty too. $4 extra for sticky rice is kind of crazy though.

+ Pad See Ew (4/5): Classic! You can't go wrong ordering this. The noodles were cooked well. Good amount of soy sauce and egg. Overall, a really solid menu option.

Such delicious food....of Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia. We ate the Laos sausages, the papaya salad, and some noodles (Pad Thai). The service was great. The whole restaurant was full and everyone seemed very happy with their orders. They also had a clean bathroom.

Highly suggest their delicious menu.

I like everything here. Drunken noodles with duck, all their curries, Tom yum soup, and I tried the Yen Ta Fo noodle soup last time I was there as well and that was delicious! I recommend it with glass noodles though over the flat ones.

Best and most authentic Thai food I've had in San Diego! Women-owned, amazingly friendly staff, wonderful flavors, can't recommend highly enough!

Great customers service and delicious foodi I love here too much I am lucky to know this place thank you for making delicious food!!

Great food , I ordered the pad Thai chicken, and it was delicious. One of the best spot in Kearney Mesa. Good stuff!!

I loved khao soi noodles with tofu.

The nam khao tod was good. It was the best I've had. I would have given a four star. The shrimp fried rice was find, but you should order something else. However, my friend got food poisoning in the middle of the night and threw up.

Ok, good

Best Lao Thai food in San Diego. Very flavorful and tasty for salad,

Food was as grandma home cook meal. Love the spicy dishes. I shall return.

Amazing Lao food and staff.

Pleasant but unexciting. The crispy pork belly was tough.

Amazing. The Pad See Ew and Gai Lang is spot on!

Came here to get lunch because a friend was visiting and he really wanted some good Thai food.

This place was lovely!

Really good portion size for the food, especially for all the noodle dishes.

Husband got the Chicken Pad Thai and it was beautiful. Medium spice level and that was just the perfect right amount of spice. Good amount of chicken in there and the sauce was so flavorful. I could have eaten that whole plate myself as well. It was hard to resist.

Also got the Chicken Satay. Was a little surprised by the look of this because it was more like sliced chicken breast that was cooked with the flavoring (different from the skewer concept that I have seen at other restaurants). Chicken was also a little bit oily so I had to use a tissue paper to wipe it out.
The peanut sauce that it came with though... That was unbelievably amazing!! I actually had spoonfuls of that sauce by itself. Also use that sauce for the spring rolls. I wouldn't mind a giant portion of just that peanut sauce. It really was good!

Nice ambiance of the place as well. It wasn't overly fancy but nice.

Held a friend, Steve Hoshko's, birthday here with 8 of us and the food & service was good & they even happily let us bring our own birthday cake❣ Would recommend❗

Khao soi and ka pao was amazing!

Good thai food with plenty veg options & great service

Delicious!

食物蠻鹹的，春捲跟中式的春捲有蠻大的落差

The beef jerky, sai oua and sauces that came with them were excellent. The drunken noodles and mango sticky rice were OK. I will come back, but probably stick to the Laos half of the menu.

The food was excellent and the service was fantastic. Definitely will come back.

Discovered this Laotian Thai place in Kearney Mesa / Convoy Street. Great service and excellent food. There's a lot of options and want to try them all! Been there a few times already and will be back to try more.

Great service, but 18 dollar pad Thai that is way too salty and heavy. Other dishes were the same, forgot the dish name.

Authentic Thai food, they even have ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือ and ข้าวซอย here (beef boat noodle and Northern Thai noodles). Didn't like the fried banana too much but loved everything else.

Food was bomb, and the workers their were really cool.

Love the food - ordered pork collar. khao soi. Panang curry. Everything was delicious. Really taste the coconut milk. This place is great. Best Thai food I’ve had in a long time

Awesome good! Shrimp with green beans was super amazing as was the duck curry!

Amazing food! Very authentic, great portions, and friendly service. It has a wonderful vibe, filled with decorative plants and nice music. I’m surprised it’s not packed on a Friday night - it should be with this amazing food! I will definitely be back!

My partner and I have been coming here for about a year now. We love Thai food and that's what originally brought us in, but we've been enjoying trying all the Laotian dishes! Everything we have tried has ranged from decent to excellent (there have been one or two things we didn't care for, but it was much more about our personal tastes than quality of the dish). HIGHLY recommend their soups and curries - I particularly love the pumpkin curry.

When they're very busy service can be a tad slow, but everyone is extremely nice. They have a nice selection of hot teas as well as Laotian beer, some craft beers, and a small wine list.

I tried various Lao dishes. All of them had unique flavors and were cooked beautifully. I will certainly be returning for more!

Warm Friendly services and food is excellent. Only reason why I wanted to try the food is YouTubeer, Mark Weins recommended it and it is really good.

Wow, just went here based off the reviews and I’m so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious

Order a bunch of different food for a family style meal. Service was fast and friendly.

Good food and service

First time ordering thai food and this place is amazing . I would recommend everyone to try it. I got drunken noodles and it was delicious.

Stumbled upon this Lao & Thai spot! What a gem! I’ve been looking for Khao Piak Sen for awhile! The hand pulled noodles and flavor are delicious! My partner got the Khao Soi which was also damn good! We’ll be back!

We ordered the chicken pad thai, hot basil chicken, green curry with pork, and mixed vegetables with beef. Everything was super delicious and service was amazing! At the end of our meal, we were surprised with the mango sticky rice which was so good! We will be back again to try more of the menu.

Food and service was great.
Would recomend the pad thai!

Most amazing service and delicious food!
Had the fried calamari, beef jerky, sausage, chicken noodle soup, larb, yellow chicken curry, sticky rice, and ended with mango sticky rice. Everything was great!

First time there tonight. Loved the casual atmosphere and friendly staff. Too many great choices, how was I to decide? Lol I opted for my fav - Pad Thai with soft tofu. My adult daughter and I shared the spring rolls (no shrimp). She had a steamed fish item. We both loved everything! Definitely recommend! Parking was dicey, you have to drive around or wait. To me, it's definitely worth it.

We got the most popular dishes to share among 4 people. All the dishes were good. We wanted to stay with Lao dishes vice Thai dishes.

Lao Platter is a must because it has beef jerky, chicken wing, sai oua which is a sausage with spicy tamarind sauce and bang bang sauce. Beef jerky taste like thịt nướng.

Nam Khoa Tod- crispy coconut rice taste like Vietnamese burnt rice that’s at the bottom of the rice cooker but better. Has a strong lemon grass, ginger and cilantro flavor with sausage.

Khao Piek Sen - house made rice thick noodles that is really starchy. Taste like Vietnamese bánh canh.

Laad nah - flat rice noodle with crispy pork in a beef broth.

Don’t forget to take a photo against the beautiful wall paper. It’s the famous Mekong palm leaves along the river.

New owners and food is not the same. Lower quality ingredients, green curry had no eggplant and looked like it had frozen peas and carrots in lieu.. Lao meat platter isn't close at all to what it used to be. Chicken tasted like KFC. Pad Thai was decent but everything was way overpriced for the quality.

Food is absolutely incredible (especially the avocado and pumpkin curries), but somehow the service manages to surpass that! The owner is super nice and remembers our order and us every time. We've never experienced that level of customer service in our lives, so this restaurant really stands out from the rest.

Had valentines dinner here. They gave us a rose flower and took a photo of us and printed it out (all complementary). So romantic. The food is great. The spring rolls, pad Thai and tok kha soup were all 10/10. Will definitely return in future.

Staff was immediately welcoming. Service is a casual, diner approach. Space is intimate. Good place to try some items you don’t always see in Thai restaurants. Boat Noodles were less noodles and lots of meat! Yay! A bit sweet for me but good. Presentation was an upgrade but would need to request all the sides for the dish which proved to be the same with the chicken noodle soup. The broth was pretty thick and had less meat. Good flavor. The papaya salad was a decent portion. It was pretty good and very spicy.

Great food with friendly staff. Simple restaurant surrounded by other east Asian eating places. Love the papaya salad and the nem khao.

Recommended by a Thai friend. Tried their two Laotian popular dishes. Very tasty, good service.

Try something different so you can come back here and do it more often…. Delicious

My wife jokingly said she just wanted some chicken noodle soup. Fortunately, they have a super flavorful chicken noodle soup called khao piek sen. I had an amazing dish called khao soi. It has an unbelievably delicious curry broth with coconut milk and a tiny touch of heat. After our meal another patron from Thailand came to our table and asked how I knew to order the Khao soi. She said it is a specialty dish that is not found in every Laotian or Thai restaurant. I found a new favorite soup. Delicious!!!

Got take out for the office. Ordered the panang curry, the avocado curry, the hot basil beef, pad see ewe, and the chow mein. Everyone really enjoyed it. I ordered a mild and spicy version of each dish and thought the spicy wasn't as spicy as other Thai restaurants. The name sod crispy rice appetizer is a must order.

The staff was really welcoming. The food was delicious. Definitely want to come back and try more plates!

I had the khao peak sen, and the noodles were very good! Perfect for this chilly weather. Also tried the chicken wings appetizer and they were delish.

So far this is the best Thai & Lao food I’ve tried in San Diego. The food was so authentic (papaya salad and boat noodles were really good) The restaurant is clean and cozy. Moreover, the staffs are friendly and very polite. I would definitely recommend everyone I know to this restaurant.

Amazing experience!
Warm atmosphere, good music, delicious food and the host was the best! She provided such good recommendations.

I love little places like this. The owner is so sweet and engaging. The food is extra yum!

Woukd hiiiiighly recommend! This blew my mouth off in the best way!!! Nam khao tod was pure heaven!! Would eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner!
Check this place out if in San Diego

Excellent services 👌 very delicious and authentic taste in all the food we had ordered and great prices. Unfortunately parking space is a bit tight but worth the driving around to come here for the yummy food

Food is really so so but pricy. Especially their beer doesn't worth that price at all. I prefer to go to Kaz or Harmony better.
They tip guides go by the total amount not before tax.

Excellent food and service.

The best Thai papaya salad I’ve had. The sticky rice was cooked to perfection. I was very disappointed with Thai foods in many restaurants in NorCal and so I originally thought SoCal wouldn’t know how to cook this cuisine properly.
My husband had Massaman curry and he loved it!
We chatted with one of the parters. She is amazing.
We loved the foods and the service at this restaurant. We will definitely come back!

Unfortunately the portion size wasn't worth anything that I paid for take out. I wanna like this place but like a 4oz package of basil and pork for $18 is ridiculous

irresponsible service, bestselller is awful

Don’t waste your money here. Don’t know how it gets 4.6. My wife wasn’t happy with me a whole time because I chose this place. Tom Yum was cold, salty with too much fermented fish paste, pad Thai no fresh shrimp and no egg and tofu, pad see ew rather wet with sauce and sweet, mixed veggie dish is throw away, and crab fried rice is salty and not tasty. Most customers here are non-Asians and not experienced eaters. Not recommended.

We’ve been here 4 times in the last 2 months 😍 everything is made fresh and the people who work here are great!

I ended up just ordering chicken pad thai from here. They have other specialties like 'Authenic' Lao foods on their menu but a lot of them were not even available to order. The lady on the phone said they didn't have the dishes we wanted. Which is weird. Maybe no Lao chef available atm. But onto the most basic dish I got. It was lacking sauce and flavor. Portion of noodles were enough for 2. I am pretty sure I got a bad stomach ache from eating the food from here. Because 2 days in a row I had their noodles and on both days it upset my stomach very bad. I am suprised they have such a high rating for their food. It was the worst pad thai I ever had! And i hate wasting food but i heard they got new owners.

Clean, lots of parking behind the building. Kind, patient servers and the prices were reasonable. The noodles in my Pad See Ew were PERFECT. Fresh and slightly chewy, just how I like it. Lots of vegetables in my dish, too. The heat level is intense; 3 was too spicy, beware. The Thai Iced coffee was one of the best I've had. I will def be back to try More dishes here. (The noodle texture was Really, good! I had to say that again.)

3 years ago, my husband and I was here trying thai boat noodle and it was the best! Until today, haven't found any other place to top this place! Cannot wait to visit San Diego again to eat the best thai boat noodle 😋 🍜🍜🍜

Not sure why, but this establishment made me prove in five different ways that I was picking up the food I paid for. I have them the first and last name for the order. They said that wasn’t enough. I told them exactly what was ordered. That also wasn’t enough. I told them how it was purchased and the card used to purchase it. Not enough. They made me show them the order I placed on GrubHub on my phone but still wouldn’t give me the order because it didn’t have my name on the order page. It wasn’t until they asked me for the phone number associated with the account that they gave me my food. Not sure why I was required to go through all this for two entrees, but I won’t be going back. Trash service.

Best. Thai food. I've EVER tasted!! It was like.. a burst of flavor through my mouth! I highly recommend foodies, Thai food lovers, or anyone who enjoys a fantastic cultural meal to try this place! Once you try Mekong, you will always become a regular.

My husband loves Thai food and glad that this restaurant was open during Father’s Day. We have not been here since the pandemic. We have always enjoyed our food and the food is still delicious. The menu had a variety of dishes and price is reasonable. This is one of the very few restaurants that serve mussaman curry which is my husband’s favorite. It is a casual restaurant. The staff were friendly and was fine having our son’s service animal. One of the staff even brought a bowl of water for our dog without us asking. This is very thoughtful!

Very clean and relaxing atmosphere, The best Wonton Soup, Yellow chicken curry I’ve had. Absolutely loved this place, I also got the spring rolls (shrimp) and they were delicious!

Delicious!

Yellow curry was recommended to me and they can make all the curries vegan. It was really delicious

This place is amazing. We showed up at 3:15 and they stop seating at 3, however got our food to go. When we got home our appetizer was missing. We called and they eagerly drove to our house and dropped it off. We've been to Thailand in the past and the flavors took us back. The mango curry was to die for. The chicken satay had very bold flavors. The fried rice was on point. The bbq chicken as well.That mango sticky rice was heavenly! We will definitely be back and this will be one of our top 5 restaurants in San Diego.

This is absolutely the best food we’ve had in the States 10:10

Staff is great(very helpful and considerate, very detailed when asked about the food). Food was amazing and the portions, damn, bring your appetite. Can't wait to go back.

Super fresh and delicious. We're very careful about dietary restrictions and gave alternatives. We were happy with our meal. Generous portions.

I love this place. The curry is sooo delicious:)

Great flavors, menu and service. Looking forward to going back.

Amazing food and service. All of the staff members are super kind and diligent. They have the best Pad Thai I have ever tasted. I can’t go to any other restaurant without comparing it to Mekong’s. Their spring rolls are also amazing. If you are ordering online, make sure to give them a big too because the staff there is absolutely amazing.

The only critique I would give them is that some items on the menu are not updated. However if this is the case the staff will tell or call you immediately after ordering.

I had the yellow curry, which was delicious. I also ordered tum laum mit that was phenomenal. Thank you!

Food was delicious and staff was very friendly

Delicious food and friendly service. Drunken noodles with shrimp was flavorful with a generous portion of shrimp. Service was helpful and food came out timely. Will return for sure.

Staff was very nice. Great food. Really enjoyed and recommend you try it

Not very tasty and a poor ambiance. Felt like I was in a cafeteria.

Good food for take out or delivery

Delicious, wonderful service, kind server, clean, we all ate everything! Worth the small wait outside to get a seat. Good beer.

Really authentic Laos food, very friendly waitresses, highly recommend!!!

What a place, first the service was nice, friendly and professional and then the food, the Basil plate, the Mango curry, wow they were so good, I recommend this place to anyone, and definitely coming back to this place.

We had a wonderful meal! Huge house salad was enough for 4 or 5 people. Summer rolls had a spicy sauce, chicken satay was the best ever, roast duck in panag curry was delectable and the eggplant with ground checken was perfect. We chose spice level 4 out of 5...yummy! Oh, and tge sauvignon blanc from the Loire Valley was crisp and delicious!

The new ownership doesn’t cook as good and they gave me fake frozen peas and carrots in my green curry

Reminds me of home

excellent service, ingredients are fresh. the flavors of the Thai dishes aren't quite traditional, but they are still very southeast Asian. example: the Tom yum was sweeter and had a stronger tomato flavor than normal.

still would recommend, just don't expect the most authentic dishes possible.

One of my favorite Asian cuisines of all time is Thai food. And I can personally say this is indeed one of my favorite spots in San Diego. I’m originally not from here. My favorite Thai dishes has always been Drunken Noodles and Red Curry. I had them both with chicken and spice level of a 4. If you can’t handle spice I wouldn’t recommend a 4 or 5, maybe a 1 or 2. If I lived here, this will always be my go to Thai place. Must try if you haven’t. 🤤 Plus the service was extremely phenomenal. Very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for such an amazing experience. Will definitely come back.

Tad expensive and friend got sick on of a dish. Satay were a miss. The papaya salad was the best.

The restaurant has all the goodies you'll look for. It's a causal place to just rest and have some comforting food. The parking is nuts though.

Look Ma, no grease!
Wow, tasty Asian food without a ton of oil and salt! In addition, the staff took our request for spice level seriously and all dishes came just right.
There were only 2 ladies working and despite that they were giving everyone their best and were as as nice and authentic as can be. Lovely service!
I'd recommend this place to anyone - modest as it looks, it's great value for money.
