    The food was not very good at all. The service and ambiance were fine but nothing anyone ordered was good. We got fresh egg rolls, shrimp, and 2 kinds of chicken pho. The shrimp was the worst dish. It was just frozen shrimp with sweet and sour sauce to dip it in. It came with 2 slices of cucumber and 2 slices of hot house tomatoes. One chicken pho came with mint and basil leaves and that gave it more flavor than the other one which was very bland. The fresh spring rolls were mostly lettuce. The prices were high and the food wasn't good.

    Mini pho

    I really loved the vibe at Mekong River--it felt like being transported to a small restaurant in Vietnam. You walk in and seat yourself at a table. The menu isn't big, which I appreciate. I ordered the Cornish hen over fried rice, and wow, that was a great choice. First of all, it comes with a soup of your choice, which turned out to be basically a mini pho. I was only expecting the broth, so that was a nice surprise. The broth was a bit on the sweet side, so keep that in mind if you prefer a different flavor profile--but I thought it was yummy. The main dish came out a little later, as they were short-staffed and running behind. That said, the lone waitress was killing it--serving all the tables by herself--and despite being quite busy, she was gracious and attentive. Now, the Cornish hen was fantastic. The skin was thin but perfectly crispy, and the meat was flavorful. The fried rice wasn't anything special, but it was topped with a fried egg, which I liked. The salad that accompanied the meal was fresh with a hint of sweetness that paired nicely with everything. Oh and as for the Vietnamese coffee, it was just alright. Overall, the meal was generously portioned and very reasonably priced. I'd say Mekong River is one of my top Vietnamese spots in Tulsa!

    Haven't been here in a while since the ownership change, so I decided to stop by again. Unfortunately, the broth doesn't taste as authentic as it used to. The flavor seems different -- not as rich or deep as before. I also ordered the chicken rice, and it was very dry and lacked the flavor it used to have. That dish was always a highlight for me, so it was pretty disappointing. Service wasn't as fast as I remember either. The wait time was longer, even though it didn't seem very busy. Hoping they can improve and bring back the quality and speed they were once known for.

    Wow!! Hidden gem in Tulsa! This place is incredible. Large portions and everything was great! Friendly and fast service with affordable prices.

    Great little Viet spot! The food is flavorful and fresh. Portions are large and are very reasonably priced. We came in at 7pm on a Saturday and were told a few of the items we wanted were sold out already. But, then I heard other groups order the same sold out items after us and they were suddenly available. 4 stars for the food issue.

    Delicious Pho with tofu
    Michele O.

    My first time here, so excited. I was in the mood for some good Pho. And thankfully my friend knew where to take me. We were seated right away, and although the place was a little busy, the wait staff did a pretty amazing job in getting our food out pretty promptly. I had my pho with tofu, and it was so delicious! The portions were large, and I-ate-it- ALL! I rolled myself out of there, happy!

    Best Pho and Vietnamese food in all of Tulsa. I couldn't believe how good it was. The pho broth was so flavorful and perfect. Not too heavy on the star anise which to me makes the best broth and bowl of Pho. You can tell they got the broth down just right. The meats fresh and such a good amount and portion. Can't recommend this place enough! A hidden gem!

    Out in Tulsa for work so ran out to find something to eat. What a find!!!! The food and the service was amazing. What surprised me aside from the amazing flavors in their broth was that the bowl was too small. The pho was loaded was yummy goodness. Lots of meat. Lots of noodles. Lots of flavor. Everything about the place was just amazing. This spot will definitely become a place I return to on my many trips to Tulsa. Amazing!!!

    SO GOOD. The fried rice was amazing. The portion was generous and I saved the other half for another time. Their pho was great too!

    Spring roll
    Lynnet P.

    Hadn't been here in years and it hasn't changed except they used to bring complimentary shrimp chips (got me hooked on those!). They really need to do some cleaning, the doors & windows are filthy. The service is very good. We ordered the spring rolls, they were just okay nothing special. I ordered the spicy beef noodle. It was really good, you could taste the lemongrass however it lacked a depth of flavor. It had a generous amount of meat and was much more hardy with slightly thicker rice noodles. They are generous w/the greens too.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in Tulsa. Once the weather starts leaning to the colder side I crave Phở and there is something magical about the broth they use here, everything seems to have gotten mover flavorful with each bite . I can't really fault anything on that front, I usually get the special Phở but some of the ingredients in that one may not be to everyone liking but I think its delicious. If you are lucky enough to get the spring rolls they are large and leave just wanting more and makes it feel like you can make a meals of those bad boys. I like the little bit of heat they add to the peanut sauce it just adds so to the spring rolls. I have had a few of the apps and they are no slouch either the wings or the eggplant are both solid options. In the summer months I usually lean towards the Vermicelli bowls or some noodles they are both solid options because the food is so good and the staff is friendly and helpful that's why this is an awesome neighborhood spot.

    Pho with everything and extra meatballs
    Josh H.

    I keep going back. It's good as you can expect from any Vietnamese restaurant. The pho is great. I always ask for extra meat, $1 more is plenty! I hope this place is in business many more years because my wife and I love it. She always gets fried rice

    In town for work and had the pho which was delicious. The bowl looks small but man was it packed full of meat and noodles. The both was on point . The only complaint I had the Thai tea was expensive cost as much as an appetizer . Service could be better had to ask to refill my water.

    Seriously, some of the best Chinese food I've had in Tulsa. At one point, I came here three times…read morein ONE WEEK! A little overindulgent? Maybe. But what do you expect when the food is Two of my favorites are the cumin beef and the fried ribs, both are packed with flavor and come with your choice of fried or white rice. I've also the braised pork which was ok, the pork was a bit tough. Ive had the spicy dumplings, which are really good. My only knock is that the one time I ordered them to go, most had broken apart by the time I got home. Still delicious, just a little disappointing presentation-wise. The green beans are an absolute must-try, and PLEASE do not sleep on the cucumber salad! It's fresh, flavorful, and easily my favorite appetizer on the menu. If you're looking for great Chinese food in Tulsa, this place absolutely deserves a spot on your list. And yes...I'll definitely be back. Just maybe not three times in the same week.

The vibe gave a Chinese vibe with decorative masks and fish on the wall. We will definitely be back.

    We've been to multiple Chinese cuisine establishments here in the Tulsa/Broken Arrow in the 2-1/2…read moreyears that we've lived here and most of the time we've been highly disappointed and sometimes disgusted with the edibility of their offerings. Coming from California, where there are an abundance of quality Chinese cuisine establishments, we were about to give up. We found this place and decided to give it a shot. First, the ambiance is delightful, very clean and ample seating. There is an outside dining area, which would be marvelous to try if it wasn't so bloody hot outside. Anyway, the menu is pretty extensive. We ordered Kung Pao chicken, steamed buns with pork belly, beef fried rice, house special lo mein, dumplings, and egg rolls. The dumplings were on the small side, but some of the most flavorful ones we have had. The egg rolls were not a disappointment either. The chicken was good, but not very Kung Pao, more Kung Mild. The beef fried rice was thoroughly cooked and tasty. The house special lo mein noodles were excellent. My favorite was the steamed buns with pork belly. They was plenty of delicious pork belly and the steamed buns made it even better. They do charge entree prices for sides, which is a little absurd and should be addressed. They serve Pepsi products. We will definitely be back as this is top tier Chinese food for Oklahoma.

The food was overpriced. There are so many great Asian food places in Tulsa and I would not get dumplings here again. My friend wanted the flat beef noodle spicy but it just seemed like they put a bunch of chilies in it instead of adding flavor. It was not her favorite and mine was good because it had no heat. But it is better at a lot of other places around Tulsa.

    *** Review is during COVID-19 ***…read more Was craving some Chinese food recently and Yelp led me to China 8... and I'm glad it did! I knew I wanted something that felt like a classic night of Chinese takeout but a little more of a local spot and not TOO cookie cutter either. It turns out this was the right place for that - it felt like the best of both worlds! Staff person at front counter was wearing a face shield and they had moved the tables completely out of the way so I think they are not doing dine-in right now. We ordered two soups to share - the egg drop and the hot and sour. I've never really liked hot and sour soup but I gave it a try anyway. I still didn't love it but others said it was good haha. The egg drop soup was good, but I do feel like it was a little lacking in flavor. I know egg drop soup is pretty simple on purpose but I still felt like it could have used one more spice or ingredient. I liked that it came with wonton strips, which were good. The soup we ordered was fine, but it luckily didn't match the rest of the food, which on the other hand seemed much better than just "fine". For my main meal I had the kung pao chicken. To me, it wasn't spicy, but thee sauce was so good that I didn't really mind - which is kind of rare since I almost always want spicy food! The sauce was super sweet and full of flavor. I hadn't tasted something like it when I've had that dish before, and I thought that was really cool. They gave a good amount of chicken too! I substituted the rice for lomein because I was really in the mood for noodles. It was a great choice - they were super yummy as well! I'm not sure they are or not, but the noodles almost seemed homemade, like you could taste the flouriness of them... in a good way. Everyone agreed the lomein was really good. Maybe the best I've had! The portion size was really good, especially for the price - win win!! They have a small and large size for pretty much everything and we got the large for entrees and the soup as well. One other thing I specifically noticed in general was that everything tasted like a distinct dish instead of everything kind of tasting the same, like I feel is sometimes the case at similar places. Don't let the unassuming outside fool you! It may seem like your average Chinese spot but I really felt like it was so much less generic, while also not straying far from what you expect at all either. Definitely want to go back!
