    What can I say we've been wanting to try mekong for a long just sad we left it so long. Really nice friendly vibe as you enter lovely staff. The selection on the menu is small which I prefer but it didn't need to be big as the food spoke for itself it was outstanding couldn't fault anything. The bao bun is out of this world would have been happy to eat those all night. As for the cocktails the east 8 hold up was my fave. We had to make a reservation as it can be very busy but I would highly recommend you try it just for something different. We shall be back.

    Oh my days! What a place! The food was outstanding, the tempura prawns and pork bao bun were inhaled before photos could be taken and the Pad Thai and Pad Prik were superb. Staff were lovely, attentive and passionate about the food. This is an absolute gem of a place

    Such wonderful food. I've been here 5 or 6 times since they opened and have had a big selection of different things each time. Generally speaking, all delicious. Even the stuff that didn't quite hit was interesting and clearly made by someone who knew what they were doing and had thought about the meal. A lovely restaurant. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and helpful. Not a bad word to say about any of it.

    Super tasty, fragrant, delicious food. Packs a punch of flavour in pretty surroundings and the staff are excellent and professional with great product knowledge. Highly recommended, you must try these Vietnamese delights when in the maiden city. Definitely a boost for Derry! Can't wait to return. Update! Back again and still number 1 in Derry. Thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful!

    Superb, Thankfully we booked for last Tuesday night as we passed during the day. It was buzzing and no wonder. Amazing food great flavours and terrific service. Wish we had a Mekong in Dublin. My starter of leg of duck tartlet was divine. Main course of seabass and duck also.excellent.

    The food is top class and the staff are super friendly and helpful. A great place to go for great food. The menu isn't very big with maybe 5 or 6 mains to choose from, with one vegetarian option I think. The beef shank was perfectly cooked. I would defs eat here again.

The cocktails are beautiful, taste yum and good presentation. And...the food!!! I could eat it morning, noon and night!! Such fresh flavours, perfectly combined to create taste satisfaction with every bite, just amazing! My absolute favourite place to eat now!! Well done all who made this place what it is, you are brilliant!

    Can't recommend this place enough. Make sure to place a reservation however as it does get busy. The food was fantastic and the beer the brew there is great too.

    Their tamarind wings and pad thai are to die for! Beef brisket with the bone marrow rice are lovely as well!😍😍😍 Their staff are amazing and friendly as always! This is one of the restaurants we visit regularly.

    Well.. incredible.. I got a take away during lockdown and it was brilliant. Finally went to the restaurant and is so much better. It is a Derry gem, incredible, authentic flavours, that doesn't hold back on true flavours & spice. The staff are fantastic, friendly and actually love being there. Including the kitchen staff, who seem to have a great laugh and enjoy every minute. That shines through in the food! Trust me.. worth every penny!

    The food was delicious, the servers made sure everyone was ok for drinks often enough and made sure orders were perfect, I loved the wall art and atmosphere. I got the Pad Thai main. It was delicious and perfectly spiced. I'll be getting a starter next time as they looked just as good.
