I dIscovered Mekong River on my drive out of Toronto. Usually I'm staying in the city, but I had a pho craving while driving back stateside. Yelp brought me to Mekong River. I was a bit worried about it being a "pan-Asian" restaurant, having an all-encompassing menu, but not specializing in one particular cuisine.
However, I had nothing to worry about as their Vietnamese food was excellent. I ordered a House Pho along with fried spring rolls. Their pho had a flavorful meaty broth with generous amounts of meat. I also found the beef to be of high quality with a good amount of marbled fat on the brisket and still some pink on the steak. The spring rolls were also really good. Super crispy without being oily and served with lettuce, pickled julienned carrots and daikon. Simple, but very well done.
Service was friendly and food came up promptly. Pricing was fair and portions were good. Overall, Mekong River is a great Vietnamese option in the area. I would return without hesitation.
