Mekong - Kingston, Ontario

I have been here a few times. I find the portions and flavours are good.

Had the pho ga, could use more fresh ingredients such as more bean sprouts, cilantro and onion. But still tastes great. Broth was good. Food was very hot which is great. Service was amazing as if family owned (might be). They changed the pad thai to a vegan version ... when we asked and it was delicious. Would go back again as it is the best option I've had in the area. Coming from eating at the best Vietnamese spots in Toronto, this place could be better but it still hits the spot. Read more

As a Vietnamese, I was quite disappointed with the food here. They did not use the right type of rice noodles for both the fresh rolls (the right type would help bond the noodles better and feel less wet) and in the pho bowl. It is also very customary for ... restaurants to offer a plate of beansprout and basil (neither was offered and they mix in the beansprout directly making other soggy). The staff was attentive when you show up and pleasant but didn't really try (e.g., confirm what type of broth you want for Pho with tofu). Read more

The food was good! Very delicious with bit a sweet taste in the pho broth. I order pho with rare beef and beef ball. Rare beef was soft, beef ball was chewy but also nice. I was initially surprised that there were no bean sprouts brought out with the food. ... But they were added already inside the soup, which I liked! However, there was no lime. The service was quite slow, I think we waited for 10-15 minutes until we asked the employee about rushing our order, cuz we were in a rush and the food was then brought out immediately. Very affordable price, there is students and cash discount! Read more

The 14b-large is excellent! Extra fried spring rolls are a must. Vietnamese coffee to drink. I’ve been eating at Mekong for 12 years. Service is slow, food is great, owner is nice and always serving the drinks. If I’m visiting Kingston, I’m eating a 14b
