One of the best authentic restaurant that serve Hong Kong style wonton noodle soup. Usually they don't have bean sprouts or lettuce but Mekong adds it and it's amazing. Their pho is pretty good too and also the pork chop over rice is pretty authentic.

Very authentic, very kind service,
The food is high quality. Would love to have some music playing, but that isn't really the ambiance. This restaurant is BYOB! They deliver, and it's also a nice place to sit and hang out for a bit. Very, very small space! -

One thing I will say is that their Vietnamese food is a lot better than their Chinese food. My advice to the owners is to sell Vietnamese food only and they will start to get better business and better reviews. If I were to rate them on their Chinese food only I would actually give them 2 out of 5 stars but if I were to only rate their Vietnamese food I would give them 4 out of 5 stars.
The most recent time I went there I got "Buddha's Delight" and also a "Vietnamese Hoagie". As I suspected, the Vietnamese hoagie was delicious but the Chinese entree was well below average even though it had a lot of bamboo and baby corn which I loved. When I went before I got vegetable Pho and vegetable chow mein. The Pho soup was delicious but the other dish was a fail in my opinion. The main issue with the Chinese dishes is that although the sauce is tasty the vegetables are past their prime and sometimes aren't cooked enough which renders them sometimes bitter and a little too raw.
I still think this restaurant can have its place in Dormont since their Vietnamese dishes are delicious and that is an underrepresented cuisine in that area. Hopefully they will still be around to implement those changes I suggested and save their business. -

Pretty average in my opinion. Nothing crazy special but nothing specifically bad either. We were in for lunch during the week so it was not busy. Our server was very nice and helped us promptly. Our food came out quickly. The cheese wontons were very thick and difficult to eat because of this. I thought it would be more like crab Rangoon type of wonton but it was not like this at all. I would not get this again. My pho broth was flavorful with many veggies, just how I like it. My husband liked his general tso's chicken but thought egg drop soup was oily. Prices reasonable. Would stop in here again for some veggie pho when I'm in the mood since it's a convenient location, inexpensive and good I but would probably like to try other places first.
