Bien que le restaurant soit cosy & relaxant, & que la décoration soit plutôt réussie, la nourriture était vraiment décevante. Les calamars frits étaient extrêmement gras, la salade de steak contenait à peine 5 % de laitue, le reste étant presque uniquement des oignons, & le steak était très dur. De plus, le poulet Général Tao n'avait pas vraiment bon goût & la portion de riz était minuscule. Le tout pour un prix qui ne vaut absolument pas la peine.
C'est donc pour ces raisons que je laisse une note de 1 étoile sur 5, même si le service était très bon.
The Korean ribs that was recommended by the waitress were the highlight of the meal. The papaya salad & the larb missed some punch. The mocktail was ok. Friendly service

Have been coming to Le M?kong for a few years now & they never disappoint!!! I made a review a couple years ago but not sure if it was taken down or I just didn't post; but anyways, here I am!!
Every time we visit we are left satisfied & well fed. The food is always amazing! Definitely should try their wings, satay, beef brochette, mango salad, fish & short ribs!
This is not your regular Thai restaurant. Every single recipe on their menu is a step above everything else you can find in montreal, or dare I say, in QUEBEC.
The Pad thai, Mango salad & PokPok wings are OUT OF THIS WORLD. You also have to try the Spare ribs, the curry, & The Amok fish. Just incredible.
No pictures on my review because when food is this good, you don't have time to pull your phone out.
Charmant restaurant, j'ai adoré l'ambiance & le décor. Que ce soit entre amis, en famille ou pour affaire, l'environnement était adapté. Il n'y avait plus de place sur leur belle terrasse, mais nous avons pu être au bord de la grande fenêtre pour ressentir le bel énergie sur la rue. Pour ce qui est de la nourriture, tout les plats étaient succulents. Nous avons mangé les ailes de poulets avec pleins de saveurs, salade de mangues, brochettes de poulet satay, boeuf coréen, nouille pad thaï, lap kai. C'était un explosion de goûts vraiment!! De plus le service était impeccable. Merci à Eric & Angie. À essayer!!! 😉
This Vietnamese restaurant is super cute. They have several delicious mocktails & a large choice of tapas. I choose the pad sew with tofu & veggies, it was really good although the tofu was a bit too oily to my tastes. My friends got most of the tapas, & the mango salad & loved it. We weren't a fan of the grilled calamari as it was a bit too rubbery.. otherwise nice spot with cool decorations & really good staff!
Had the pleasure of dining at Le Mekong on a lovely summer evening. The terrasse was a great vibe & the food was excellent. We enjoyed a Singha Thai Beer & the Tuk Tuk cocktail. As an appetizer we had a nice & spicy papaya salad. For the food we took a Kang Paneang with Shrimp & a vegetarian Kang Kiew Van. Both were excellent. Will definitely be back!

tout était excellent ,j'ai moin aimer la salade de papaye les morceaux de pelures de limes donnent un goût fort quand ont croqué & les oignons rouges aussi j'aurais préféré avec de petit morceaux d'arachides & un peu plus de sauce au poisson (sucre).Le paneng est merveilleux & les ailes😊
The restaurant is beautiful & all the staff were lovely. Really nice service, & you could tell they liked working there. The portions are also very large. Unfortunately, the food was not great. I found it bland & it didn't taste like Thai food. I don't plan on even thinking about coming back. Should we have stuck to the Classics menu & ignored the specialties? Then again the server said he loved the dish I ordered. I read so many rave reviews, so I'm sitting here wondering if I ordered the wrong things... But at the same time, there shouldn't be so many wrong things to order. Only one dish out of five rose above "okay". The Larp Kai (chicken salad) was a real miss. We get papaya salad often at other places, & wanted to try something new. We didn't specify spice levels, because we didn't feel we had to in order to get a decent amount of heat in a Thai restaurant... Sadly there was no spice at all, & the flavour as a whole was really bland. Its just chicken, red onion & lime. I tasted cilantro in just one bite, definitely no mint or grilled rice flavour involved. I was hoping for something herbaceous & fresh & light, & it was a real let down. The imperial rolls & the sauce were decent enough flavour wise, though I wish the sauce was amped up a bit. The filling was surprisingly juicy, but the wrapper felt a little thick & a bit tough & lacked the shattering crunch you crave from an imperial roll. The pork sausage was our favourite dish. Nicely browned skin but still very juicy inside, & the seasoning was very nice. This one actually tasted like Thai food. My only frustration is that the sausages are on a bed of delicious, crispy fried onions & whatnot, but they are nearly impossible to get in your mouth (too long, & somehow difficult to cut in half) & the plate is too flat & narrow to scoop them up easily with a fork or cut them, so I just ended up with a bunch of crispy bits all over the table. My partner ordered the Douchi Beef, which we agreed was nothing special. I had Jiaoyan Youyu (fried calamari). Once again I was frustrated by the plating. The calamari pieces were very large, way too much for one bite. Cutting food is no big deal, but cutting food that is in a very deep, curved bowl is not fun (& I destroyed the crunchy coating on the squid doing so). This dish was nothing to write home about either. If I'm being honest, every dish except the sausage made me think of Chinese take out. The kind of Chinese takeout you order because its "pretty good" & it'll hit the spot at 1am when everything else is closed. & there's nothing wrong with that kind of food, but its not what I expect from an expensive Thai restaurant. I've never cared or thought much about music in a restaurant before, but the music here was noticeably boring (I didn't know such a thing was possible). Repetitive trendy trendy repetitive beats. Cocktails were also just ok. The Thai cocktail just tasted like a regular mojito, which surprised me given the ingredients - lots of chopped thai basil in the drink, but the flavour didn't come through. Was it muddled at all? & again, zero spice from the spicy galangal syrup. The Khmer was also a letdown, just a sweet pineapple drink with no balance & no ginger coming through. Again, the service was really really nice. So I feel bad writing this. But the food was that much of a letdown.
Excellent à chaque visite! Un de mes restos préférés à Montréal! Qualité & fraîcheur des aliments. Les ailes de poulet sont définitivement les meilleures! J'adore les déguster avec la salade de mangues. Le staff est super & le resto est beau😊

Super restaurent. J'ai commandé une soupe wong tong comme entrée & le poisson panné pompano... to die for. C'était exquis!! La petite salade mangue & oignons sur le poisson wow. Mes amis ont commandé les filets de Tilapia & le boeuf sauté avec brocoli 3t oyster sauce. C'était aussi très bon. Je recommande fortement ce resto. En plus la musique était super bonne & le staff très gentil & aidant.
The Thai food is not my favorite but I am always open to try something different. The chicken salad is so stunning in which the minced chicken acts as rice. & the flavor of onions & pepper & vinegar makes the salad flavorful or even aggressive. I recommend this to be the choice of people who are keeping fit.The leek cake of shrimp is not an healthy choice because the crust is deep fried. It tasted like fried wonton or dumpling. One of the impressive things is that there’s nearly a complete shrimp inside each piece of cake. Anyway, I like this new experience.
Nous étions avec nos deux jeunes adultes, sur la terrasse, très agréable, nous avons tous adoré!
Super resto, portions assez généreuses & très bon rapport qualité -prix!
Nous avons pris une salade, 3 tapas & 3 plats à partager & c'était largement suffisant.
Coup de coeur pour la salade de papaye verte, les brochettes de poulet, les calmars grillés, le tilapia & le cari paneang.
