Came here twice in 2 days. Larb chicken appetizer: tender, crispy chicken with a citrus taste and a nice sauce to balance out. Pho King: comes with a torched bone marrow. So good, rivals District Saigon for my go-to pho. Duck curry: tender duck with a rich curry sauce. I'm dreaming about this dish. Seafood laksa: the curry is a little too light for my liking. The seafood was cooked decently, but something was missing for me. I tried a bite of my friend's bun cha and it was good too with the different textures. read more

This spot in Astoria has my heart! To be honest, there were so many things I wanted to try at this location and I am absolutely coming back because the food here is exceptional. I tried the karage as an appetizer and had a little kick to it, but not too spicy! I ordered the pork stew, clay pot, and it was so flavorful! Ultimately, I couldn't finish it personally, but I saved the leftovers for Home. The owners were very nice and the mix of Asian dishes made it so that you can come back and try a bunch of new different things. I can't wait to come back! I originally went with a group of nine people, but I would come back by myself! read more

Tried the pad gra pow - really authentic and spicy Papaya salad - was bland and plain with only papaya, peanuts, and sauce. Bun cha - this was tasty but it wasn't grilled pork patties and had roast pork instead which was a bit dry The portions are large! read more

Read my original review too. Update 2nd time: Shaking Beef (4/5): The bites of the meat were not great, sometimes chewy, sometimes inedible pieces (tough). It was also way too salty. Drunken Noodles (5/5): Lots of spice and flavors. Very different than your standard Thai-drunken noodles, in a very good way. The chicken had a nice lemongrass flavor to it and the cuts of chicken thigh was juicy. Chicken bun (noodle bowl) (2/5): Very meh as there was basically no flavor. Pork Banh Mi (4/5): I preferred the brisket banh mi over this one. The bites of pork were fine, bread was again very good, and a good blend of the toppings/sauce. read more

From the moment I walked in, I was immediately greeted and seated promptly. The staff was so sweet. This place is a little small but it was cozy. The menu offers classic dishes and street food from Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand. I ordered Bun cha - a Vietnamese dish with grilled pork belly served on vermicelli, with pickled vegetables and crispy spring rolls. Absolutely fantastic dish! It was sweet, fatty, savory - just a mixture of well balanced flavors. I am also very happy the dish was topped with spring rolls. The servers were constantly refilling my water and making sure everything was fine. Just overall great attentive service. read more

I ordered delivery to my home from grub hub. I ordered the beef pho with bone marrow, a Thai ice tea, the garlic ginger brown rice, and a small white rice. I'm here to say this is one of the best phos I ever had. It was simply delicious. It was sooo flavorful. I'm looking forward to going there in person. The Thai ice tea was also really good. The garlic ginger rice was also good. Overall 5 stars 5.5 for the Pho. read more

Stumbled upon a cute Asian cuisine spot while walking along 36th Ave today. Since the weather was nice, I was hoping to sit outside, but there wasn't any space available--still decided to give it a try. Customer service---It was okay, nothing standout but not bad either. Seating----A couple of small outdoor tables (which filled up quickly), one long table, about six tables for two, and a larger rectangular table that can fit around 8-10 people. Bathroom--Clean with a nice, nature-inspired aesthetic. Pork Sisig--This was the highlight for me. I loved the mix of onions, chili, and egg with the tender meat. The fat was a bit gooey, and it seemed like there might've been some cheese mixed in with the rice, which added an interesting twist. Overall, really flavorful. Calamari--Crispy and paired well with the sweet chili sauce, which complemented the savory flavor. That said, the coating was a bit thick and uneven in parts--something I tend to notice since I often order calamari as an appetizer. lemon juice--Super refreshing. I was tempted to try the Thai tea too, but I have an early commitment tomorrow, so I'll save that for next time. Overall: A decent experience. Not perfect, but definitely worth trying--especially for the sisig. read more

I was in the area and decided to try Maison Mekong. I started with their lunch menu and ordered the lemongrass chicken with brown rice--honestly, it wasn't my favorite. I also grabbed kare kare and sisig to go, and at first I regretted ordering so much. But once I got home and tried them... wow. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and tasted like authentic Filipino home cooking. So good that I'm already planning to go back tomorrow just to get them again! read more

Placed my first delivery order last Tuesday night after arriving home from Rome. Was really craving for a good Pho and also Filipino food! And since I've been eyeing this place for awhile now, ordered Pho, honey soy garlic wings, and pork sisig with rice. They had a promo after a certain minimum spend that it comes with Thai iced tea. Order arrived and after trying everything, I can confirm that everything was delicious! I always manage my expectations esp. on Filipino food given that I can make it really well but I was pleasantly surprised that their sisig was so good and is in fact in my Top 3 now. Portions for the price are also good. Hope they keep it that way. I'd like to dine in person soon so hoping by then that it'll be updated to Five stars! Thanks Maison Mekong! :) read more

This is the first time I've had pho with bone marrow!! Such a delight. Service was wonderful and the team there collaborated to serve our table (we didn't just have one server). Very small restaurant but cozy and feels upscale. Beautiful space despite the small size and wonderful food and drink quality. The larb karaage was soooo good too. read more

Larb Kaarage: tasty, salty, fried chicken which was amazing in flavor especially with the tartar sauce Sizzling Beef: tender with the sauce. Highly recommended. The asparagus was hard to chew unfortunately. Mekong Style Pho: The soup didn't taste authentic, very much store bought taste. Noodles were ehh, not so good bun Cha: spring rolls were crispy with the noodles and the sauce. Overall alright but not high up there in taste. Steak and Bone Marrow: flavorful with the fried rice, bone marrow was tender and buttery. Steak was a bit too chewy and rare for my taste Overall cute small restaurant with attentive staff. Bathrooms are clean and have outdoor seating. read more

I found this new restaurant in Astoria serving Southern Asian food. It's a cute spot that serves many different dishes at affordable prices (the apps were ~$10 for decent portions). On a hot day, the "refreshers" drinks were the way to go. The mango slushy had BIG chunks of mango in it! My partner and I enjoyed several apps including the larb karage and the Vietnamese papaya salad. The latter was an interesting non-spicy and soy sauce based dish, which differs from one you'd get at a Thai restaurant but it was just as refreshing. We got the addition of the pig ears which added a crunchy texture. As much as I enjoyed the shaking beef (tender meat and pretty presentation), my favorite overall was the pho ga (chicken pho). It's pretty under hyped and not a go-to at restaurants, but here, it's a must. It was such a comforting dish and after a night of drinking, it hit the spot! Service was great - we got to meet one of the owners, Bella, who was so sweet and friendly. read more

So glad to have found this place! The space is cozy, the staff are super friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. The menu is a mix of primarily Vietnamese and Thai dishes with some twists on classic Asian dishes like their Larb Karaage, for example, which was super flavorful. The Pho Ga was also a standout dish- the broth was clean, nourishing, and packed with umami. Might be the best I've had in the city. Overall, if you're looking for Southeast Asian food at a more affordable price, Maison Mekong is definitely worth a try. read more

Nice hidden gem! Came here for dinner on a Friday night with my partner and we had a great time. It was warm and cozy and we were greeted by a super sweet server. We started off with the crab rangoon which was a perfect way to start our meal. I had the Pho King and it was filled with a ton of delicious, meaty toppings. The bone marrow was a nice touch! The broth was flavorful and comforting especially on such a cold day. My partner had the bun cha which was also quite good. If you're looking for some solid Thai and Vietnamese fusion place in Astoria, definitely give this place a visit. read more

We randomly passed by this restaurant in the neighborhood and decided to pop in for lunch on a rainy Saturday. It's a small and cozy space inside with friendly service. The restaurant serves Thai and Vietnamese food as well as a Filipino dish. It definitely leans more Asian fusion than traditional in my eyes, but the food was still satisfying enough and had a homey quality to it. The Mekong beef pho broth seems to be more Thai style than Vietnamese for sure. From this visit, our favorite was the larb karaage. read more

I've been here a handful of times with my family for both eat-in and take out. It's a small place but quite quaint. They have a small outdoor seating area in the front but it's not a big draw for me. The food is pretty okay here. Nothing super memorable but satisfactory. Off the top of my head, I remember having ordered Mekong beef pho, pho ga, seafood laksa, pineapple fried rice, crispy calamari (twice, bc my kids loved it the first time, but second time....ehh), chicken wings, pad thai, and a few other dishes. We've also ordered their banh mi's for lunch take out. Brisket banh mi twice now, so that's worth telling. The grilled pork and lemongrass chicken banh mi were good too. Comparing the various banh mi's, I remember the filling for the brisket one was sparse in comparison to the others. Flavor was on point tho so I overlook it as being a flaw. I wasn't too wowed by the lemongrass chicken but my son liked it enough to have ordered on more than one occasion. I would like to try the Pho King next. My friend says it's very good. Would I come back again, sure. It's convenient for when I bring my kid swimming. Would I go out of the way just to go here? Probably not. There's other places outside of Astoria that do Thai, Philippino, and Viet cuisine much better. read more

Came here for a lunch while walking around the area. We got the pho and fried chicken bowl and it was good. Service was nice as well. The restaurant is in a nice area but I definitely see myself wanting to have this food for takeout as well. Overall I would say food is good but not amazing amazing and the vibe is really nice and cozy. read more

Service was great and the restaurant was cozy. Spring rolls were good but the pho was inconsistent. My noodles were fine but my partners noodles were overcooked and were broken into many small pieces. She couldn't even pick them up with chopsticks without them further breaking. Might've been a bad day, might try again in future as this place has potential. read more

We order from here regularly. The pork sisig is honestly the best we had including legit Filipino spots. Everything from here so far is above average to extremely delicious. read more

I am so let down. I've been telling all my friends about this place and couldn't wait to order again, and was planning to come in person next week. I got the drunken noodles again, and couldn't wait to have them! I also got the pho. The drunken noodle went from being one of the best I had to one of the worst. Look at the photo, it's just yellow! The taste and appearance was completely different from last time. The pho was FLAVORLESS, no matter how much sauce I added. And the meat texture was horrible. I don't understand how it went from being one of my favorite meals, to one of the most disappointing in just two weeks. You could tell the chef today just did not give a damn. It's one of my biggest frustrations with restaurants here, lack of consistency. There are way too many place to give your business to, to spend your money on a place that is not consistent. I understand having an off day, but this was beyond that read more

Whoah. Came earlier this afternoon on a snowy day for some comfort food. Exceeded my expectations. Clearly family run, absolute gem! Missed out on a pic of my chicken rice noodle soup. Would have tried any and all items if I wasn't solo but I was just in the mood for easy protein. The amount of food was plentiful. Be polite and ask for the homemade crispy chili oil. Absolute Gem! read more
