P.I.F. (partner in fooding) and I were walking down Potomac on our way to Thai Spoon (love!) and sad to find it closed for the day. Oh well, why not try Mekong then? So we headed back up the street to Mekong. We assumed it would be the expected americanized chinese food like everything else in the south hills..meh, but were pleasantly surprised to find a smattering of vietnamese dishes on the menu. We were greeted with friendly service, complimentary tea and ordered the Pho with high hopes. We were not disappointed. The pho was outstanding. I'm honestly surprised to see the negative reviews. PIF and I are no strangers to Pho and agree mekong might have the best in the south hills. While I can't speak to the quality of the more mainstream chinese on their menu, I was impressed and will be back for more pho very soon!
