Mekong District - NYACK

Excellent and fast service, food was amazing especially the texture and taste ?. The hostess was quick and very polite and always smiling. Very nice ambiance atmosphere. My whole family had a terrific evening and meal.Food: 5/5

Great Vietnamese pho with several grilled choices and appetizers. It's a small venue and takes reservations only for groups of 5+. The food is authentic and tasty. The atmosphere is bare-bones and the service adequate, but not especially friendly, (but not unfriendly). If you're going for the authentic food, you'll be pleased. The rest is just okay.

Had lunch on Sunday last week, everything was delicious, Soft pillowy Bao Buns, waffle wings, papaya salad, will return!!

They make a really good pho soup. I was put on to pho soup for the first time when I visited New Orleans. Then I tried their pho soup. It automatically reminded me of when I first tried it back in New Orleans. Thanks Mekong District.Food: 5/5

Overall, this was a solid restaurant, conveniently located in downtown Nyack adjacent to the village municipal parking lot. The menu is pretty authentic but also includes many Asian fusion dishes. In general, the dishes felt like a hit or miss.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.
