I have traveled extensively in Asia and absolutely love to eat Asian food. I have been coming to Mekong Thai nearly once a week for the last year and a half. I am absolutely addicted to it. I usually have the #3 (Green Curry with Pork) or the #4 (Green Curry with Chicken) on the lunch menu. If you enjoy spicy food, the Medium is rather spicy, the hot is even more so, and I have not yet dared try Authentic. I also very much enjoy the #5 on the lunch menu (Panang Beef). They also have a very excellent Thom Yon Goon(sp) soup. The dish I am dying to try is the red curry on Salmon. They also have a few Chinese dishes on the menu that they do very well. I have had better rice elsewhere, and the pad thai that comes with the lunch combo could also improve, but the curry is so sinfully good it is very easy to overlook the other items flaws. The spring roll that comes with the lunch combo is also quite good and the sweet/sour sauce is delicious that you put it in to. I have eaten at Bangkok Thai, East/West Connection, Thai Ginger Wild Spice, Highnote Cafe, etc, etc, and none can come even close to matching this restaurant. The waitress (coowner?) is very friendly and has an infectious laugh. If I don't get to go to Mekong Thai throughout the course of a week I literally feel like I have lost a small part of me. Walking out of the restaurant with a stomach full of the delicious curry is an experience I return to again and again.
Pros: EXCELLENT food. Do not let the outside of the building fool you. EAT here.
Cons: Small location, but not normally a problem unless it is during the peak of lunchtime.
