Mekong Cafe

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Do yourself a big favor. Goto Mekong ASAP and have the Laotian Curry Beef Noodle. Thank me later.

This dish is truly amazing and would put it against and right at the top with the best restaurant meals i have had in springfield. In full disclosure other than the Vietnamese egg rolls i haven't tried anything else on the menu because this dish is so amazing.

What makes this dish so amazing is its freshness and complexity of flavors created by the fresh ingredients. Large rough cut pieces of cucumber and tomato, full fresh mint leaves, full "sprigs" of fresh cilantro, large pieces of fresh rough cut green onion, lots of crushed peanut that just clings to the beef and noodles...etc. All the big flavors meld beautifully. What really interesting is that despite it having quite a spicy kick there is something incredibly refreshing about the dish which i think stems from the fresh herbs and cucumber/tomato combo.

Trust me if you are adventurous and especially if you love fresh rough cut herbs in your food....DO NOT MISS THIS DISH!!!!

BTW - the Vietnamese egg rolls are the best i have had in town. The light flaky wrapper is amazing.
