Mekong Vietnamese Restaurant, Schuhstraße 4, 91052 Erlangen

The place is lovingly and thoughtfully decorated, creating a cozy atmosphere suitable for a date, a meal with friends or time with family. Moreover, the food was delicious and the service impeccable. A real gem.

I have visited this restaurant with my classmates many times during our two year study. I only had very good experiences here. I have to say that today was even better. The restaurant is very clean and has a beautiful design. One can see intricately crafted decorations and paintings. The atmosphere is very calming: there is beautiful music and the people are very friendly. There is a possibility to call and reserve a table or just come in. The service was the best that I have experienced so far. The server asked to re-warm my dish because I decided to eat it later and he volunteered to take pictures of our group. I found his behaviour very kind and respectful. The dishes and drinks are always delicious - today was no exception. There are many different dishes with meat and many vegetarian options. The prices are good as well. Overall, a great place and very hard working and respectful staff.

After getting turned down by other restaurants in the area since I didn't have any reservations, we were most welcomed by this Vietnamese restaurant. Without having any expectations, I have to say, this restaurant exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The restaurant had a really warm atmosphere to it, the waiters were friendly and the menu was extensive, to the point it started to get a bit confusing what to order due to the variety. Everything we ended up ordering was extraordinary. But if you must try one dish, then choose one of their curries with crispy duck. I have never seen this amount of duck in any restaurant in Germany on a single dish. It wasn't just the portion that got me bamboozled, but also how tasty it was. The duck was deep fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. Needless to say, all the dishes come of course with all you can eat rice. We tried crispy fried icecream for dessert. If you are wondering if it was heavy, yes indeed it was, but the combination of cold icecream with hot crispy dough was phenomenal. It was served with whipped cream and strawberry sauce. I was to thank the owners for all their hard work to be able to manage a restaurant this way while offering tasty authentic food.
