Our last two visits have been disappointing and it seems like things are not moving in the right direction with this place. Our most recent visit this past weekend was disappointing where I have to use a 1980's commercial to describe our meal "Where's the beef?!" Lemongrass beef Mekong roll that had a tiny sliver of beef in the roll. Scraps of ribeye and brisket in one order, and the same scraps of meat in the Mekong Combo. read more

Now usually, I'm not one to go for fusion restaurants. I like my food traditional: straightforward, authentic, cheap, and flavorful. But this restaurant gave me a truly enjoyable dining experience. Upon entering, it became clear that this was not your average Vietnamese restaurant: moder decour, a full bar, modern music. The menu had many tempting options, but I ended up sticking with a tried and true pho tai. You must master the basics before progressing on to higher levels. It was phenomenal. The broth was deeply flavorful and rich, much more so than average. I could taste the quality. The service was straightforward and attentive as well. In all, an exquisite experience that I felt I had to share. read more

Spacious open restaurant with a unique beer selection with self serving taps, delicious authentic flavorful dishes and read they do live music on some weekends. Kimchi steak fries were drenched in flavor! Yet fries were still nice and crispy, It was the perfect blend! I went with the classic grilled Vietnamese pork chops. Ooh that char was delicious! I will never understand what they use to marinade these in but kudos! Ice cold mugs and glasses is an awesome touch! Def a spot to check out specially when they do live music? Highly recommend! read more

The food at Mekong was better than I expected! Their Green Papaya Salad with Shredded Chicken ($14) was way better than any other Vietnamese restaurant I have been to, and that's saying something since at home in NYC there are hundreds of Vietnamese places. The Mekong Fajita with Sliced Lemongrass Steak ($16) portion was small and only came with 3 rice paper wraps - the amount of steak was a bit disappointing, but the taste was there. Both the Ginger Scallion Tilapia ($31) and the Shaken Beef ($23) were delicious as well. Overall solid Vietnamese restaurant in Nyack! read more

I was so happy to find a Vietnamese place nearby! I'm a Vietnamese food enthusiast :). My husband and I had brunch here. He ordered a smoky beefy pho noodle soup while I enjoyed a traditional banh mi sandwich with lychee green jello drink. It's a spacious eatery, clean, with attentive professional service. The food tasted great and we'd love to dine here again someday. They seem to be a great place where friends and family can get together to enjoy some night life. They also have a self serve beer station along the back wall. I've never seen anything like this before. In general Nyack is also a very cool place to visit! read more

Nyack, NY - you should know off the bat that Mekong District makes the BEST PHO in this area by far! 90% of what defines an exceptional bowl of pho is the broth, and here it is superior, slow-simmered with beef bone and herbs for over 24 hours. It is the deep, complex & nuanced flavor I dream of when I try to conjure the taste of an ideal pho broth, and rarely do most Viet/pho restaurants measure up. The noodles are beautifully cooked as well, firm and chewy and slurpable. The brisket & ribeye slices are not the most thin, marbled and tender but there's a generous amount. In addition to the classic version with thin sliced beef (and tripe & tendon & meatballs if you want), what's really nice here is that you can also have it with oxtail, short rib, roast duck, chicken, or tofu & veggies, for your choice of pho toppings. Did I mention they have BUN BO HUE! Also excellent. Some of my other favorite items here are the STICKY BELLY appetizer, WAFFLE WINGS, SHAKEN BEEF, SPICY COCONUT MUSSELS, and the GRILLED MEATS/SHRIMP over rice or vermicelli. The banh mi sandwiches I've had better so I stick with the pho. Mekong District is not your average Vietnamese restaurant. They serve the traditional staples, sure, but incorporate influences from other Asian & Western cuisines in some of their dishes to create a thoroughly modern identity. Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the SELF-POUR BEER WALL! District One, "Rockland's first self-pour taps." You choose what you like from a beer screen and pay by the ounce. We tried a beer flight and it was awesome. They have a promo for 20% off the tap and $5 off red wine by the glass on Sundays. With the warm & loungey atmosphere of the main dining room and weekly live music, MD is also a cool place for a social hang. Wash down the craft beers with any of the palatable appetizers from their copious list. The service is mixed and depends on who you get and how busy they are, but always friendly. Sometimes it's great and sometimes we are left waiting a while. But everyone is short staffed these days so I'm not generally bothered by this (I'm a proactive diner and will hail if I need something) unless it's dismal or I'm paying a premium to expect a certain level of service. There's a 5% cash discount. read more

The place is cute and spacious and the food is tasty. We ordered dumplings in red curry sauce, spicy beef pho and grilled chicken, and liked all of them. There's a special beer deal on Sunday and the variety is inviting. Our waiter is friendly but not attentive. He never checked on us and never offered to refill our empty glasses. The other waiter who cleaned our table only picked up the plates and didn't offer water refill too. read more

Portions run a bit small on some dishes. The food was ok, but compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area it's solid.

Exceptional and authentic Vietnamese fare. Can't believe we've dined in so many restaurants in Nyack but somehow missed this one till recently! The ambiance feels like an antique shop, or a quaintly furnished cafe. Since we arrived a few minutes before they opened for lunch, we caught a glimpse of the owner/chef - a cheerful Vietnamese man - as he walked into the kitchen, while all the waiting staff are not Vietnamese. When we asked for fresh red chillis to go with our meal, our waiter told us that the owner would eat them like candies, while one small taste would cause him unbearable pain :-). We ordered vegetarian Mekong roll. The portion was pretty substantial. I can imagine myself getting full on that alone. Unfortunately there aren't many vegetarian choices, so I broke my diet and accepted the waiter's recommendation of garlic noodle, and gave half of the crawfish and shrimp to my husband. I loved the bouncy, chewing, flavorful flat noodles, while my husband enjoyed the grilled honey-glazed chicken platter. read more

Overall, this was a solid restaurant, conveniently located in downtown Nyack adjacent to the village municipal parking lot. The menu is pretty authentic but also includes many Asian fusion dishes. In general, the dishes felt like a hit or miss. We ordered 3 appetizers, all of which were okay but not really impressive: - Green Papaya Salad: The vegetables were pretty fresh, but the shrimp was overcooked and didn't taste very fresh. - Duck Bao Bun: The buns were soft and the duck was well-cooked, but it was pretty bland overall and definitely could have had packed in more flavor. - Mekong Roll with BBQ grounded shrimp: These wraps tasted fresh and were well-wrapped, but the ratio of vermicelli noodles to meat / veggies was off. There was not enough meat and veggies, which made it taste kind of flavorless overall. For the entree, I ordered the Triple Treat Fajita, which I would definitely recommend as an authentic dish to try! The meats were cooked very well-- extremely juicy, tender, and flavorful-- and they came in good portions too! However, the vegetable portions were much skimpier, and I wish they provided more of that. The experience of making your own rolls was fun and enjoyable. Other dishes we got were: - Garlic Noodles: A fusion dish that was just okay, nothing special. - Honey-grilled chicken Banh Mi: tasted great and fresh! The bread was soft, pillowy, and fresh; the chicken was tender; and the vegetables were crunchy--a great mix of textures. - Grilled pork belly with rice: Didn't try this one, but from what I heard the meat didn't taste that great and it also went really skimpy on the veggies. For dessert, we tried the Pandan Layer Cake and Sticky Rice Banana. Both had a strong mung bean flavor, similar sticky textures, and the coconut cream on both added a creamy, sweet touch. Both were sweet enough without overdoing it. I personally enjoyed the pandan cake more, though you can't really taste any pandan flavor. Overall, the service was quick and friendly, and the ambience is very quiet-- there were only 1-2 other parties there for a weeknight dinner. The space is pretty small with cohesive decor and a setup that feels intimate. I would say the prices are pretty expensive ($14-16 for a banh mi is QUITE steep), but it's on average pretty reasonable for the portions and the location. read more

Great beer concept and tvs! Good place to watch football and have a beer. The food is good as well

One thing about ME!? I love me some soup and I'm always craving it. But 9/10 time I'm craving Pho specifically. And the craving was strong last week. The decor and atmosphere was giving cozy lounge. Like you just wanna bring your friends so y'all can chat play games and drink soup. I loved that. I kinda wish they had later hours for those nights when you're bored and you just wanna go somewhere, like yes let's go get some pho at midnight I got this butterfly juice that really blew me away it was a really sweet citrus drink and I loved it so I ordered another But the star of the show was of course the beautifully presented steaming bowl of Pho. Presentation was gorgeous Ngl I've never seen such a pretty bowl of pho. But I quickly dug into it and got to work. I usually spend a good amount of time just enjoying the broth as is before adding anything else. Because it doesn't need anything else. The broth was light and comforting. Full of flavor on its own. I also had their lychee jelly drink which was delicious not too sweet and had pieces of lychee in i I definitely recommend checking them out. I'm excited to go back and try the rest of their menu as well. (I sometimes get a Banh Mi craving too lol) but I know where im going for my soup fix. read more

A lovely establishment with a variety to choose from. The vibes of this place is very welcoming. Even on a Wednesday night it was pretty busy. The pacing is a little slow but the wait for the food was well worth it. The noodles were a little too clumped together but they tasted pretty good. We had about three slices of beef into our pho but we appreciated the service and food. Will be coming back to try more! read more

Wonderful food, atmosphere and service. Everything we ordered was delicious - shrimp papaya green salad, short ribs, and various rolls for appetizers; bo bun hue and flat noodles as entrées. Self-serve beer was super fun. Hard to find excellent Asian food in Rockland County - this place is a gem! read more

We had some of the most authentic Vietnamese food outside of nyc here. The pho was spot on flavor wise. A tad skimpy in the meats but it had the right amount of noodles. Grilled pork chop and dipping sauce is another good choice. The desserts are a must try as well, especially the authentic pandan and mung bean cake. I can't wait to return to try the banh mi and other dishes. read more

- Disgusting Experience. Will Never Return. I honestly don't know how this place is still in business. From the moment we walked in, no one greeted us--we had to seat ourselves and basically flag down someone to even get a menu. The waiter who eventually came over clearly had severe gingivitis--brown teeth, noticeable bad breath, and spit literally coming out of his mouth as he talked. It was disturbing and unhygienic. The owners stood around acting completely indifferent, as if they couldn't care less about the customers or the condition of the restaurant. The water they served had particles floating in it--absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. To top it off, I ended up in the emergency room later that night. The doctors said it was most likely food poisoning from what I ate there. The food not only tasted off, but it clearly wasn't safe. This place is not only unsanitary--it's dangerous. Save yourself the money, the stomach ache, and the hospital bill. I would give zero stars if I could. read more

Great pho! Great ambiance and service. I wasn't expecting such a great bowl especially in this area.

I really liked the food here. I've tried the pho and shaken beef and they were both delicious. The restaurant is pretty small and doesn't have a lot of seating. There's a public parking lot in the back or you can park on the street. Service is quick and prices are reasonable. I would recommend this place if you're looking for good, authentic Vietnamese food. read more

The food is excellent and so too is the ambiance, but the service is poor and the wait staff expresses open contempt for the patrons if you request so much as the simplest of accommodations. The sister restaurant in upper nyack (Little Viet Nam) has much better staff and equally good food. read more

I honestly don't understand the hype here. The service is unbelievably slow--it took forever just to get a simple drink, and no one checked in or cared to follow up. When we sat down, the server literally threw the menus on the table without a single greeting or smile and walked away. It felt rude and unprofessional from start to finish. By the time we were finally able to order, the vibe was already ruined. A restaurant with good food can't survive on bad service, and this place is a perfect example. I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

I usually don't leave reviews but.... This place is amazzzinng! My wife and I ordered the Spicy Lemongrass Soup, Drunken Ribs, and Waffle Wings this time around. The spicy lemongrass soup was delicious and authentic, with just the right amount of spiciness to it. Growing up with a Vietnamese family, I can say that this soup is just as authentic, if not better. The soup came with more than enough broth, unlike other places I've eaten in the NYC area. We've had Oxtail and ShortRib Pho as well, and both were very tasty and flavorful. My wife is very picky when it comes to the pho soup and this place is her favorite. The drunken ribs with sticky rice dish is my personal favorite. The ribs are very tender and fall right off the bone. Their homemade sauce is different from anywhere else. The waffle wings are to die for. Just order the next time you're there...trust me :) We've been to other places, but this spot is our favorite!! Cozy and charming ambiance, good music, and most importantly DELICIOUS FOOD! read more

Food was exceptional. Service was beyond friendly. Our waitress and food server were both warm, witty and silly -- didn't shy away from banter. Ambiance is warm, welcoming and PACKED for a Sunday night. My partner loved the self pour tap. They have 24 unique craft beers featured. Excellent diversity. We ordered the : Drunken Ribs + Viet Carpaccio to start -- Both were excellent. The ribs were fall. off. the. bone. And sooooo well sauced. Carpaccio is creative and the sauce is outstanding. All was cooked to perfection. For mains we order the Ribeye + Brisket Pho -- broth was outstanding. The depth of flavor was remarkable. Noodles perfect. Asked for jalepenos along with the bean sprouts + basil + lime (i like mine spicy) :) Only complaint is woulda liked more beef but ... that won't stop me from ordering again -- soon. Second main was the Shaken Beef -- again, perfectly cooked, tender and well sauced. Overall delicious meal, wonderful dining experience all around. Thanks Mekong District. We will be back!!! read more

A solid Vietnamese restaurant - has all the dishes you would want, and the preparation and flavors are excellent. I want to especially call out the papaya salad, which was fresh and delicious. The dressing was very citrusy (lime). One recommendation I would have is that the tables for two be oriented so neither diner faces the large storefront windows. Even on the cloudy day we had, the brightness through the window made it impossible for me to see anything of my fellow diner, except his silhouette. Thankfully the hostess was very gracious and re-seated us. read more

Loved all of this. Food: pork belly sticky buns - delicious and different. Spicy mussels. Loved the coconut milk flavor and fried bread sticks to dip in the broth. It was delicious - spicy flavorful but didn't overpower the flavor of the mussels. Well done. Layer cake. Oh my. Interesting twist to use cafe du Monde coffee for their Vietnamese coffee. I've only had with traditional French roast. Wish they offered it in decaf. (Don't judge) Great and friendly service by a delightful individual. Ambiance: very quaint. Will definitely return when I am back in Nyack- next week. A couple more things on the menu I need to hit. read more
