About:Keo Sananikone opened this place (also known as Mekong I) as an inexpensive version of his touted Keo's Thai Cuisine . Popular items include the Spring Rolls and the Spicy Eggplant with Beef. There is an extensive vegetarian menu. Daily lunch specials and fixed-price dinners are a bargain. Locals say the food is as good as Keo's, yet much less expensive (most entrees run less than $10). The staff is serene and helpful. Sister restaurant Mekong II is at 1726 South King Street.

    Best Thai food on island, and cheap too! Dining area is small and simple and there's certainly no view but the food quality is excellent.

    I/we stopped going their a few years ago when we got "tired" of worrying about all the big-fat"LIVE GIANT COCKROAHES" crawling all over the joint and "up your/my legs" a problematic dining distraction. They probably came out of the kitchen (too hot w/poison or swatters) who knows how many of them were dippin or droppin in the food...Maybe thats why it taste sooo flavorfully good!?? When I told the mgt/staff about the rodent problem on my leg, ect. they tried to totally ignore it/me! I did try their other loc once after, over on King Strret but thought it wasnt as tasty and the service was worst maybe it was or wasnt the roaches??? Pae Thai on King St. is better w/o roaches tho slightly "pricier" w/bad-cheap tea bags (bring your own tea bags) or Bankok Chef on Nuuanu/School St. more casual, ono and cheap too!

    the BEST takeout!: This is the BEST takeout food! Every dish that I've ever had there has been fantastic. The spring rolls are always crispy and delicious. Ingredients are always fresh. My friends and I often do a beer run and then pick up Mekong on the way home. We love it.
