Mekong District - Nyack

"As a Vietnamese food lover, surrounded by an extreme lack of Vietnamese food, Mekong District satisfies all the cravings. Small casual spot serving up great food. The drunken ribs & papaya salad were great ways to start off the meal. The Mekong Combo Pho was beautiful & if you like a little spice I recommend the Bun Bo Hue"

"Love this place, love the ambiance. The food is all spectacular; haven’t eaten one bad thing. Don’t come if you’re in a rush, there is limited seating so you may have to wait and service is super casual…. Food is freshly made and comes out in the order that it’s ready. Great place to hang out or to have dinner."

"Mekong District is really good in every sense. Food is great all the appetizers are so delectable. Pho is very flavorful. But best of all the Vibe is chill. Beer Wall, Chess boards, 90s tunes on the play list. Great place to hang out. Could be my favorite in Nyack."

"Cool, casual place with great food and self serve beer! Descriptions on each beer, really cool!!! Food is great too!!! Papaya salad is yummy and the pho is always a great option! Great service as well!"

"Overall, this was a solid restaurant, conveniently located in downtown Nyack adjacent to the village municipal parking lot. The menu is pretty authentic but also includes many Asian fusion dishes. In general, the dishes felt like a hit or miss. We ordered 3 appetizers, all of which were okay but not really impressive: - Green Papaya Salad: The vegetables were pretty fresh, but the shrimp was overcooked and didn’t taste very fresh. - Duck Bao Bun: The buns were soft and the duck was well-cooked, but it was pretty bland overall and definitely could have had packed in more flavor. - Mekong Roll with BBQ grounded shrimp: These wraps tasted fresh and were well-wrapped, but the ratio of vermicelli noodles to meat / veggies was off. There was not enough meat and veggies, which made it taste kind of flavorless overall. For the entree, I ordered the Triple Treat Fajita, which I would definitely recommend as an authentic dish to try! The meats were cooked very well— extremely juicy, tender, and flavorful— and they came in good portions too! However, the vegetable portions were much skimpier, and I wish they provided more of that. The experience of making your own rolls was fun and enjoyable. Other dishes we got were: - Garlic Noodles: A fusion dish that was just okay, nothing special. - Honey-grilled chicken Banh Mi: tasted great and fresh! The bread was soft, pillowy, and fresh; the chicken was tender; and the vegetables were crunchy—a great mix of textures. - Grilled pork belly with rice: Didn’t try this one, but from what I heard the meat didn’t taste that great and it also went really skimpy on the veggies. For dessert, we tried the Pandan Layer Cake and Sticky Rice Banana. Both had a strong mung bean flavor, similar sticky textures, and the coconut cream on both added a creamy, sweet touch. Both were sweet enough without overdoing it. I personally enjoyed the pandan cake more, though you can’t really taste any pandan flavor. Overall, the service was quick and friendly, and the ambience is very quiet— there were only 1-2 other parties there for a weeknight dinner. The space is pretty small with cohesive decor and a setup that feels intimate. I would say the prices are pretty expensive ($14-16 for a banh mi is QUITE steep), but it’s on average pretty reasonable for the portions and the location."
