Restaurant Mekong In Roma

We were offered a menu that ended up being long and heavy. Perhaps this is why the overall experience was not positive. Some dishes convinced us (fresh spring rolls) others, like duck or pork, definitely not. There was no Vietnamese beer.

A particular but very pleasant experience, kind staff who helped us a lot in explaining the dishes and which sauces to use with them, which is absolutely not a given and of fundamental importance for those like us who had never tried Vietnamese cuisine. I had read some criticisms on the quality/price ratio but I have to strongly disagree, we found excellent quality, generous portions at a fair price We will certainly return to experiment with other dishes

Everything perfect, leave early to find parking ;)

Close your eyes, listen to the voice of the host and you will think you are in Testaccio in a trattoria where rigatoni alla carbonara and puntarelle alternate. Once you open your eyes again, the voice will always be the same but on the dishes you will find all the tradition of Vietnamese cuisine. Surprise for those who do not know it, certainty for those who never betray. Mekong is to be tried and re-tried, guided by the magic wand of that host, Pino, who with his Romhana passion (the H is for Hanoi) makes everything more special. Come on!

Crossing the threshold of the Mekong restaurant is like taking an instant trip to the heart of Vietnam. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with soft lights, wooden furnishings and delicate decorations that recall Vietnamese culture. The intoxicating scent of spices and aromatic herbs tickles the sense of smell, preparing the palate for an unforgettable experience. The manager is a true host: kind, thoughtful and always ready to recommend the best dishes. His passion for Vietnamese cuisine is contagious and shines through in his every word. And what about food? Simply sublime! Each dish is prepared with the freshest, high-quality ingredients, enhancing the authentic flavors of Vietnamese tradition. The “gỏi cuốn” (spring rolls) are light and delicate, the “phở bò” (beef noodle soup) is rich and comforting, and the “cà ri gà” (chicken curry) is an explosion of exotic flavours. The care in the presentation of the dishes is a further touch of class, which makes each course a small masterpiece. And finally, you can't help but taste the "chè chuối", a traditional dessert made with bananas and coconut milk, a true delight for the palate. The Mekong restaurant is a complete sensory experience, a place where delicious food combines with a welcoming atmosphere and the kindness of the staff. A true jewel of Vietnamese cuisine, absolutely worth trying.

We ate there last night and had a great time. Each dish was accompanied by a short introduction on how to eat it and the owner stops to tell you little portions of Vietnamese life and history related to food when he can. Highly recommended!

Thanks to this restaurant I rediscovered the authentic flavors of Vietnam... a wonderful experience!! Also thanks to the owner who took me back there with his captivating stories and advice... an excellent welcome in which they explain what you eat and how to eat, necessary for those who are new to Vietnamese cuisine or for those who already know it. 5 stars!

First experience with Vietnamese cuisine, an explosion of flavors and aromas. We took a tasting menu divided into two with the addition of other delicious rolls, recommended by the dining room staff. Excellent choice, as a first approach, in order to experiment with each dish. Fusion of Vietnamese cuisine and culture brilliantly explained to us by the staff; before tasting the dishes, each of them was described in its history and also advised on how to eat them to enjoy them at their best. Very high quality products, very attentive and courteous staff, a well-kept and clean place. Extremely satisfied, we will definitely return to try more from the menu. Super recommended!!!

A distanza di qualche anno dalla nostra prima esperienza con la cucina vietnamita, sempre in questo ristorante, abbiamo deciso di riprovare. E, come da titolo di questa recensione, proveremo e riproveremo ancora! E questo principalmente per due motivi. Il primo, la meravigliosa cucina che viene proposta. Profumi e sapori assolutamente straordinari, nuovi e deliziosi. E, se non conoscete la cucina vietnamita e non sapete districarvi nel ricco menù proposto, affidatevi ai suggerimenti del gestore e del suo staff, non sbaglierete. E questo è proprio il secondo motivo. La simpatia, la disponibilità a spiegare e la competenza del gestore sono il valore aggiunto di questo locale. Se cercate una cucina diversa e buonissima, smettete di cercare!
