The Mekong (see link below)was so good I went there 2 days in a row and would have gone more if I wasn't leaving. The name is Mekong and they serve three different cuisines—Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese. I really like Thai food but decided to try the Vietnamese dishes. My lunch was so tasty and fresh. I had the fried pork rice dish which came with an excellent dipping sauce that was tasty but light. The next day I had Lemon Grass Chicken which was also very flavorful yet very light on the palate. Next time I'm in the area I'll try the Pad Thai as that is said to be delicious.
People also rave about the Thai food and there were quite a few great write ups about the restaurant displayed in the window. Actually that's what got me to go in the first time. I also heard that the Thai Iced tea was good and decided to try it. It was not your regular iced tea but was more like a flavored fruit drink yet it to was not heavy. I’ve heard it said the French influence on the cooking contributes to this.
The owner was very pleasant and the staff were friendly and sincere. I could also tell that she has repeat customers as I could hear the comments as they left. Lastly the meals were very reasonably priced and the portions were satisfying. If you are anywhere near the area try the food and you won't be disappointed.
p.s. The restrooms were spotless always a good sign in a restaurant
They have a website so I'll include the link here.
