Customer Reviews
This might be the only authentic South-East Asian buffet you will find in Mideast (not Chinese buffet). They have Thai, Laos, Vietnamese, and probably food originated from other countries that I don’t know. But don’t be scared!! You can still find fried chicken, stirred fry noodle, noodle soup, and curry if you are more familiar with US-favorite Asian foods. $23 is so worth it, just the quality of the food and ingredients. I took my older kids to try some of Asian food too. I think this is a great place for them to try something new.
This place has transformed from being an oriental market to a quaint little restaurant. We tried the weekend lunch buffet and were pleasantly surprised with the variety of food offering . There was good mix of veggies, seafood and meat options although leaning more towards non vegetarian offerings . They also had a good selection of spicy sauces that complemented the food ! They also offer pho in the buffet for an uncharted, all in all we got to sample a variety of dishes !
Mekong Cafe is an excellent option for takeout. Hot and spicy meals (we take our dishes at 2/5 heat) such as the Green Curry or the Nam Kow are the reason we come back all the time. Truly a great place to eat and the service is fantastic!
Tapioca drink and food was salty. The steam bun was hard. Papaya salad was not flavorful and spicy. The 1st time we came for dinner dine in and wasn't too thrilled with the food. Was around the area so decided to give their buffet a shot but this place probably won't be a go to spot anymore.
I follow them on Facebook and was so excited to try their lunch buffet. My husband and I finally had the chance to and overall, It was ok.. some food didn't look too appetizing. There are Nice people working there though.
