    Lo mein with bean sprouts and chives. (takeout)
    Ashley G.

    2 hour wait for takeout on NYE. It was worth it though. Ordered veggie spring rolls, they were not greasy and pretty darn good. The Moo Shu vegetable pancakes were sooooooo tasty. It came with a package of "pancakes" aka, tortilla-ish things. Wish it came with more, since we had a lot of filling left over. Lo mein was simple and tasty. I am an onion lover and appreciated the heavy hand that was used with the onions in this dish. Fried rice, no complaints. The hubby loved his general toa's and hunan pork dumplings. They also included various sauces on the side like a black vinegar/soy dipping sauce concoction, which I seriously put on everything, as well as hoisin and sweet and sour sauce. We had plenty for left overs the following day. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. (First review for 2019)

    Crispy calamari with garlic salt and pepper

    A solid 3.5 star dinner with family in a Saturday night. Restaurant had two levels, the ground floor has around 10 tables of various sizes (2 to 6 people) while upstairs can accommodate a large group. The decor and ambiance is nice. Main dishes are in the $16-$20 range and served with steamed rice. Dishes were decent though not spectacular. Crispy beef seems to be one of the most popular dishes but I thought it was disappointing. While it was definitely crispy, the flavour was too heavy in hoisin sauce, and many pieces were simply deep fried dough with little or no beef. Prawns with garlic tamarind chilli paste was not bad, and Mekong fried rice and crispy calamari were good.

    Chinese broccoli with garlic and ginger.

    Great takeout! Duck was great and the 5 spice prawns are amazing. Friendly and helpful service for a reasonable price. Highly recommended. Get the crispy beef...

    Mekong's "Shrimp and chicken" fried rice

    Love Mekong!!! It's one of our go to spots! We find things have changed a bit in the flavours and quantities which is why I'm giving it a 4-star, would have preferred they increased prices and kept same consistency. Their fried rice unfortunately is now lacking, it's a shame as it used to be awesome!!!! If it's your first time order the rice paper wraps, the crispy beef, Cantonese style noodles and the 5-spice prawns! Yum

    We made a pit stop in Ottawa for lunch during our road trip to Canada and found Mekong. They have a private parking lot for customers which was super important for us, because the side of the streets were covered with mountain of shoveled deep snow that day and it was next to impossible to find parking. There was only one man working there that day when we got there but service was fast and food came out quickly. We ordered Thai Shrimp Spring rolls, Hunan style pork dumplings in chili peanut sauce, Cripsy Beef, and Deep Fried Five Spices Prawn. Not sure if it was because of the cold weather or the fact that we had been starving but all the warm food was seriously delicious. However, even though it was just the two of us but for some reason we felt that the portion was on the smaller size.

    I loved these three dishes, pot stickers, salt pepper prawn and crispy beef. Been back several times and still same good. Will keep coming back..
