What the community has to say about Mekong River Restaurant

Information about this business (2)

From beginnings as a distinct nation, Vietnam has been influenced by China. The Chinese has contributed the custom of eating with chopsticks, the art of stir-frying and deep-frying in a wok, and food staples such as soy sauce, bean curd and noodles, among others. However, the Vietnamese, ever- conscious of retaining the native character of their culture, assimilated rather than adopted Chinese...

This is a consistently excellent Vietnamese restaurant with an extensive menu of reasonably priced entrees. Located in a roomy, two-story space in the middle of the bar and live music district, it is simply decorated with high ceilings and a small waiting area.

I have been eating here for years

I have been eating here for years. I have never had a bad experience. They use to be called something else and changed their names. Food has still been great. It was always better than the north location.
The enviroment is fantastic and the wait staff have always been nice.

Fast and cheap, with Vietnamese flavor that's out of control.

In Short
A favorite with downtowners, this restaurant has prompt seating and courteous service. Walls are covered with Asian art and musical instruments. Most come for pho; unusual and...

Mekong River is now taken over by the original owners, who started their restaurant in 1997 under the name Pho Cong Ly then later became Mekong River. They are now working together with Lit Lounge to operate as a restaurant for lunch and a bar during the evening. The food is not only better but the price is still low...

Having spent a week in the US I craved Vietnamese to bring some freshness, herbiness and lightness to my diet. I headed to Mekong River as it was downtown Austin - near where I am staying.
The omens were not good to start with as a tray of takeaway rice lay on the floor at the entrance with staff and...

Everyone who works there are so inviting & friendly. Food is excellent and fairly priced. I loved eating here with my friend, that I brought my whole family with me again the next night. Wish I lived in Austin I'd come back weekly.
