mekong vietnam swanston road melbourne

This place is always very busy. I think one factor is that it is generally very cheap (in Australian standard), since you can spend less than AU$10 for a meal.Most of the items are pho based. They do offer some vegetarian selections (vegetable pho and vegetarian spring rolls) but not too many. Overall, I think their food is okay. While it may be cheap, it is actually not difficult to find better Vietnamese food (with similar prices) in Richmond and Footscray. Due to its popularity, often this place is getting too crowded and noisy, so it is not necessary comfortable to eat here.They only accept cash.

My title says it all, great food! However you must be prepared to share your table with strangers. Great Vietnamese vibes!

I ordered the Pho soup with beef and tendon and added all the sauces they provided. It was authentic and one of the best I have eaten. Never really like Vietnamese food till I ate here. The Beef was so tender and the tendon was simply yummy. The portion was great for one and you would be craving for more.Tried the avocado juice too and I am glad I ordered it. Don't miss eating at this restaurant. It's a must

The Restaurant was very busy and usually this is a good sign the food is good. But after spending the previous 2 weeks in Vietnam we found the food tasteless and just plain dreadful.Give this place a miss.The service was also very bad.

Had small rare beef - this place is my usual place for pho in Melbourne city. Cant fault it apart from the fact it gets really busy at lunch!
