Mekong Cafe

Pretty Average food for over average pricing I’ve been here a few times esp because they are open all the time which is handy. I’m a Pho lover! But this one was just ok. No matter what time of the day the place is always messy lol Dirty plates always out and it seems everything needs updating esp since you can get lunch time prices at surrounding restaurants. The service here is always lovely though so can’t fault them there. I always leave this place feeling underwhelmed. My last visit I had Beef brisket on rice. Hmmm I’ll let the photos speak for itself. Really wish I could rate this higher but I’d come here again between 2-5pm when most Asian restaurants nearby are closed… kinda like a last resort.

Pho Ga was nice, but wasn't able to order fresh chili, as the couple of owners were busy. That would have been not an issue, as they working hard for their business. What was upsetting is the "beef salad" they packed for my take away see picture. This is a f... joke for NZ$ 8.Food: 3/5

Super friendly host, comfort warm asian cuisine. They were about to close but took us anyway, it was raining hard! The beef noodle soup is delicious and perfect for a cold night.Recommended dishesNoodle Soup

Felt like soup so I looked up a place close to me and this was one of the higher rated soup places on Google Map 4.1 rating I think. So I decided to go. Service was good and fast. The food was average. The beef soup was ok and could have been more spicy and had more spicy flavour. I ordered the pork bun and it was too hot to eat as though it was reheated. Not made fresh? I’m not sure. but It was also average. A friend ordered spring rolls and couldn’t finish it.

Decent Pho served in generous sizes, and their other dishes are also really well done - good for a quick and easy meal that'll hit the spot. It's a nice and quiet spot, good for families or those looking for a quiet meal in the middle of a busy day.

Ordered a Delivery via DeliverEasy. I was rather hungover, indecisive, and therefore - over-ordered. Just as well. Beef Curry - came in a normal size takeaway container. Was about 1/5 full. No exaggeration. Was absolutely astounded. Pathetic, nigh-criminal. Chicken Salad - possibly worse. Sprinkling of carrot and chicken that barely covered the base of the container. Literally. Summer Rolls chicken - can't go wrong, right? Wrong. They were a reasonable size, at least, a GOOD size, actually.... but made up of 99% noodles. The one dish where I typically don't mind vegetables being used as 'filler' - and I didn't even get that. Zero chicken...just rice noodles, wrapped up. Pho - actually wasn't too bad. Not good, but not bad. Still - more noodles than anything else, to make it look bigger than it was, but... not criminally so. But the rest of it... embarrassing. I didn't take photos, unfortunately... I should have. I don't think words can adequately describe the incredible INadequacy of this "meal". I'd ordered 4 dishes, and was considering ordering another delivery from elsewhere. Just... never again.

Very tasty inexpensive food. The Huế Spicy Beef Phở is always my choice. Amazing if you like it spicy. My partner's VG Noodle Soup was also tasty. Vegetarian options: small selection

Mid price but nice food! We really enjoyed that. The banh tam vermicelli noodle salad and the skewers are really good. My friend ordered a large noodle soup $18 and it was huge!

Wonderful and staff so friendly! Give this little place a go!! Run by Vietnamese family. Everything we ordered was great!

What is more important than taste? When it comes to pho in Wellington, this place is unbeatable.Food: 5/5
