This might be the only authentic South-East Asian buffet you will find in Mideast (not Chinese buffet). They have Thai, Laos, Vietnamese, and probably food originated from other countries that I don’t know. But don’t be scared!! You can still find fried chicken, stirred fry noodle, noodle soup, and curry if you are more familiar with US-favorite Asian foods. $23 is so worth it, just the quality of the food and ingredients. I took my older kids to try some of Asian food too. I think this is a great place for them to try something new.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This place has transformed from being an oriental market to a quaint little restaurant. We tried the weekend lunch buffet and were pleasantly surprised with the variety of food offering . There was good mix of veggies, seafood and meat options although leaning more towards non vegetarian offerings . They also had a good selection of spicy sauces that complemented the food ! They also offer pho in the buffet for an uncharted, all in all we got to sample a variety of dishes !

Mekong Cafe is an excellent option for takeout. Hot and spicy meals (we take our dishes at 2/5 heat) such as the Green Curry or the Nam Kow are the reason we come back all the time. Truly a great place to eat and the service is fantastic!
