Meekong Bar

We meet-kong again. After a long day of touristing with visiting family we settled here for dinner. The criteria: crowd pleasing and cheap! The table got chicken pho and beef pho, gyoza, red chicken curry, fried wontons, and cod banh mi burger.The pho is really the best deal around. Only $13. You get a whopping bowl of hot pho. It's really a standard bowl of pho, fantastic broth, good fixings of meat and the typical toppings.The burger options are great for anyone not wanting noodles. And we loved the fried gyoza Lastly, their lychee martini and lychee mojito were simply amazing. Strong lychee flavor and so cheap too! Where else do you find a $8 cocktail?

Love this place. The menu is simple but good! My best friend and I went on a extra rainy Seattle evening after moving back to Seattle from LA and I had none of my stuff- it was really close to my house, it warms you right up! Also, the people who work there could not be nicer!!! We had edamame, Pho (I got the spicy version and my friend got a mild version) JUST so delicious! We also ordered bao buns (yum buns!) They have a full bar, if you need a little adult bevvie- Everything came out warm and quickly!It has just the right amount of ambiance- bright and softly lit at the same time. I saw some girlfriends getting together, a lot of DD orders going out, some people on a date night and some people eating alone- everyone getting the same service and yummy food my friend and I received. Come by for a visit a support a small business- Your tummy will be happy you did- I'll be back for sure.

I was curious about the Bahn mi burgers so decided to try one along with the pho and thai tea. The burger was really good and a fun twist on traditional bahn mi. The pho was good but nothing special and the thai tea was pretty good. If I'm ever in Seattle again I'd definitely stop in again to try one of the other burgers. Overall food was 8/10 and service and ambiance was 7/10.

Stopped here on the way to Climate Pledge and they're close enough to Seattle Center for anyone visiting. They served some very good vermicelli with either grilled chicken or a three-way of pork. The pork belly bao bun was good too. Also had the pad Thai and it was good.

I love coming to this Vietnamese restaurant. The service here is very friendly and helpful. I've been here many times and the service never is bad. The food doesn't take long to make. I enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. It's nicely decorated and organized. I had their pho which was good. The broth was tasty and the noodles were nicely made. What I tend to get here is their banh mi burgers. Very unique and I enjoy the twist that added to it to make it actually a Vietnamese burger. They used a different type of meat with traditional Vietnamese seasoning and uses bread similar to the ones for actual banh mi sandwiches. I also have my fries with sriracha seasoning to give it some extra flavor. I definitely enjoy going to this restaurant and I recommend others to try it.

Wasn't intending to stop in here for lunch but my mom saw a bunch of people and thought it was more popular than our alternative option (and less oily), only when we walked in did she say, "oh I thought there were more people." But boy am I glad we stayed. We were seated in the bar area with the high top tables, the chairs are a little wobbly fyi but the table was big enough for a bowl of satay noodles and a hefty platter of fries and burger. The banh mi burger was incredible- super flavorful, reminiscent of banh mi but just different enough, not as crunchy as a baguette (my preference). They make the bread bun in house and it is a great vessel for the pickled veggies and Mekong patty (essentially just the sweet pork sausage in other Vietnamese dishes). They also have a monk patty that is made with taro, also house-made, I was tempted but our server said she preferred the Mekong patty. Burger is a little wet due to picked veggies but not overwhelmingly wet that results in soggy bun/fries. Fries were fine, just a standard fry but it had a good amount of soft and crisp. Only wish they had made a Vietnamese inspired dipping sauce instead of ketchup haha. Mom said her satay noodle was okay- just pho with satay sauce and some tomato slices. I don't think she was impressed. Service was great, ambiance was good- loud but you can see folks were eating every last bite, so that's reassuring.

One of my new favorite spots! Delicious Asian fusion restaurant with so many fun options. So far I've tried the mala pho and banh mi burger. The mala pho was super delicious and flavorful, but not too numbing. Would definitely recommend, and I'm not even a pho person, so that's saying a lot! The banh mi burger was a fun option since it has banh mi fillings but is in bun form instead of with a baguette. It's a bit lighter than a typical banh mi and comes with fries. Will definitely come back and try their vermicelli bowls next!

We were looking for a place to eat after visiting the Space Needle and Meekong Bar was about a 10min walk. The food was soo good, affordable, with pretty big portions. They also had really tasty and cheap cocktails.For cocktails I tried the lychee martini and Moscow mule - both were $8 and pretty strong. For food, I had the red curry which was one of the most flavorful curries I've had. You can also pick the spice level too. I had bites of the Vermicelli Bowl and a leaf wrapped sausage (can't remember the name but have it in the picture) which we all delicious. Would definitely come back here!

Came to Seattle for my birthday and decided to walk around to see the city. Came across this place and Loved the beef pho! Definitely coming back next time I visit Seattle

I have to make a review on Meekong bar because I think by far it's one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Seattle, located in Belltown. Does family own restaurant has a very clean, modern interior space with tons of seating for small and large groups. There's also a bar with plenty of cocktail selections at a very affordable price so you're not paying $20 for a watered down ginger ale vodka. The food is amazing here and you could taste every dish that has been made truly with love and care. Absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it. I'd also have to give a shout out to another favorite dish of mine, which is the Hue style beef noodle soup also known as Bun Bo Hue. It's perfect for cold weather here in Seattle. On the lighter side, I would recommend the granny Smith apple pork belly bao buns, fried chicken wings, And spring rolls. It's funny having a debate with somebody from the East Coast that calls eggrolls spring rolls? And spring rolls summer rolls? And dependent on the weather in Vietnam and what they eat but I say spring rolls are spring rolls made with rice paper not fried, ha! The customer service here is incredible and I've gotten to know some of the staff/family members having eaten here every 2-3 weeks for the past year and a half. They're always so kind and attentive with every customer and I really have to give it to them... I love this place, so I highly recommend
