Mekong District focuses on dishes influenced by family recipes but also inspired by different world cuisines. Unlike other area Vietnamese restaurants, Mekong District is not your traditional Vietnamese fare. We aspire to bring influences from different Asian and Western cuisines into Vietnamese cooking. While you may find staples such as pho and grilled rice and vermicelli dishes, Sriracha Edamame, Viet Carpaccio, Lamb Shank, MD Steak and Coconut Mussels are definitely not Vietnamese. But fair warning, some dishes are based on chef’s inspiration and may not stay on the menu for long.
Twists on traditional Vietnamese cuisine, plus fusion dishes & chef’s specials at this cozy option.

Reviews
Mekong Roll- Very good on flavor, a little small for the price but a nice starter. We added a bit of the Hoison to the peanut sauce which helped to add a bit of depth to the flavor.
Pho- very tasty and fresh. Portions were a bit small and we wish they gave us more in terms of fresh veg to go with the pho. The combo was a bit light on meat for our liking but flavors were there and quite enjoyable. Broth was the star of the show, and while we wish there were more of both proteins we enjoyed our meals.
Service- Servers were kind and checked in frequently but not too frequently.
Overall- we enjoyed our lunch very much, the environment was quiet and relaxed. It looks like a great happy hour spot as well, one we will definitely be checking out.
TLDR- Cool Atmosphere, Great Service, Tasty Food, Small Portions.
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.
Food is great too!!! Papaya salad is yummy and the pho is always a great option! Great service as well!
