"4 stars for our first visit to this hole-in-the-wall restaurant!\n\nMekong River was recommended to us by a friend who is Cambodian as one of the areas best Cambodian restaurants. Though I live really close to Mekong River, I've always been a little skeptical of it as a suburban, Americanized Asian restaurant. It turned out to be really good!\n\nWe asked the waiter what he would recommend as authentic Cambodian food, and he mentioned #59, Chha Kreoung. He also mentioned #63 and #64, Samlaw Machu Kreoung and Samlaw Machu Kahti as close favorites that had really good flavor. We ended up going with #59 Chha Kreoung with shrimp and tofu. The flavors were really good - sweet, sour, and spicy with plenty of basil, and the spices were right on. (The beau used to live in the Bay Area and ate regularly at a Cambodian restaurant.)\n\nWe also got the Cambodian Curry with tofu. I really enjoyed this one. It was more on the sweeter side and had lots of veggies - potatoes, yams, green peppers, onions, etc in a really good peanut curry sauce. Yum.\n\nThe portions were pretty big, and so we had lots of leftovers! Good stuff. We will be back."^^ . . . . "2013-02-20T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ .
