Went here for a friend's birthday, food was so amazing and awesome customer service. Really recommend this place. Did not have photos of food coz we were so mesmerized by the food and wanted to devour it immediately. Will definitely be back here.
Some of the best Asian food I have ever tasted.
Authentic- real leaves and spices floating around in the food. Music was a bit loud that evening.
Friendly service.
Great decor- 3 private rooms looked amazing too.
Will have to come back. Highly recommended
I had my birthday lunch today with my girlfriends. The service was stunning and the foods were yummylicious.
Food is great, amazing vegetarian options too!
Wow, this is my new favourite restaurant! The waitress was so brilliant, listened to my allergies, totally got what I said and relaid it to the chef, who cooked the BEST meal I have ever had out. Tasty, vegan, GF and allergy friendly, it was the Tofu veg dish with turmeric and garlic and was divine, (and only had a small adaptation for my allergies).My husband had the beef pad see uw. He loved it. It was cooked to perfection, fresh and the veg and meat were flawless.Great atmosphere in there, nothing was too much bother for the staff, The decor was great, clean toilets and even the other customers were all lovely. The whole place was fantastic.LOVE IT and will definitely be going back with the rest of my family, (there is also a lovely kids menu too).
Enjoyed an early dinner and drinks with a friend last week at Mekong Baby. It was my second time there and it did not disappoint. I was greeted by a lovely young man (I think the manager) who was very welcoming. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and so were the cocktails. Highly recommend the pork belly and the jungle baby cocktail, it was my favourite of the four I consumed that evening. Will definitely be back!
Awesome service. Great food and cocktails, pricey but worth it.

First time at Mekong Baby, and I was completely surprised by the version of Asian fusion cuisine we received. The flavour combinations were unexpected but definitely well received, and the drinks...wow. I purchased one of their spicy cocktails (aptly named "venom"), expecting a hint of spice in an otherwise flavourful drink. Once again, Mekong Baby surpassed my expectations and I was left with a VERY spicy drink, which unfortunately left me unable to taste much else of the drink, but it was definitely an experience I won't forget.
The staff were amazing. We had a waitress named Aria (who apparently no longer works there) who was attentive, funny, and very genuine. Another staff member, I believe his name was Manesh, who was the liason person between the wait-staff and chefs, came to check on us and suggested the apple and almond tart for dessert. He was charming and very right - the apple and almond tart was complex in flavours and absolutely delicious.
The only downsides would be that I found the braised pork to be slightly too sweet and the prawn cakes to be lacking depth of flavour. The curries were lovely, as was the view of the kitchen. Would go back for that tart!
Our first time at Mekong baby was a great success. Manish looked after us and made us feel really special. His wine recommendation was spot on. And then the food, that was spectacular. We took the Let's Eat! options so we got a fantastic sample across the menu and every dish that came out looked and tasted fantastic. I am so happy I chose this venue for our anniversary - thank you Mekong Baby for making our evening such a special one.
Once them doors fly open at midday Mekong is booming! Me and my team came here for our Christmas break up and secret Santa gift exchange, luckily we had a table booked and the staff, although they were completely swamped maintained their composure gracefully as more & more bodies poured through the doors. The food is exceptional! We ordered every big plate on the menu except for 2 of em. Everything was seasoned and cooked flawlessly, the perfect blend of traditional & contemporary flavours. I've had pork belly cooked every way you can think of but the pork belly here is a cut above the rest - stewed in a rich, sweet and spicy sauce until tender served alongside a tangy asian slaw. I'm struggling to think of a more balanced dish. The guy below saying nothing was seasoned probably had his tongue removed because everything I ate was flavoursome and more. 5☆
Oh baaabbbyyy! We had a fantastic long lunch. The service was consistent and attentive. We had several dishes to share and all were very, very good. The crowd were all having a great time around us.... in fact, we enjoyed everything so much we stayed for an extra bottle of wine. Will happily revisit anytime we have the chance
Beautiful place with nice atmosphere and friendly staff, our lovely server was happy to give us recommendations on food. The apple tart with salted caramel is genuinely the best dessert I've eaten out anywhere, it was perfect!
We celebrated my birthday at this restaurant. It's a fusion Vietnamese cuisine. The restaurant is quite chic and very popular. Although we went there for lunch mid-week, it was full with several large groups having a great time.
We had a great time...the service was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and we polished off every dish we ordered.
I would recommend this place. 👌
We had pleasant experience. The food is asian fusion. The popcorn prawn is a must have. It was spicy n crispy. The madras chicken curry with yoghurt had close resemblance to South Indian traditional curry. Black pepper chicken stir will tingle your spicy tastebuds. Good service.
Great restaurant. Awesome quantity and bug portion! Love the place.
Great times had here with my fellow colleagues. Gawjizz & adorable settings within this cute & cosy space. A great range of deelish meals in the Banquet options with lots of flavours that tickles the tastebuds indeed.
Delicious flavourful dishes in nice ambience. Food comes out incredibly fast and the staff is very attentive.
Every dish was full of flavours and full of umami!
Just the most amazing restaurant. The food is stunning Southeast Asian fusion, every dish we had was mind blowing! Highly recommended the popcorn prawns, dumplings & pork belly. Service is so friendly & attentive. The most reliable restaurant in Auckland
So far the best "small sharing plate asian" restaurant we've eaten at in Auckland! So good we came twice within a month!
PROS
+++Asahi beer
+++ Gochujang hot wings (a must!!)
+++Lamb spare ribs
+++Shrimp noodles
+++ Awesome cocktails
+++ Service and wait staff exceptional
CONS
-chicken curry a bit underwhelming (and I'm been very fussy I know!)
My friends and I had a fantastic dinner at Mekong Baby!
The restaurant had a great atmosphere and the food was really tasty. We tried several dishes, including the Madras Spicy chicken curry, which had a wonderful flavor but was very spicy and didn't have as much chicken as we expected. The black pepper chicken was amazing, but it had chicken skin on it which wasn't pleasant while eating. Despite that, the flavor was incredible and I would definitely order it again. Our favorite dish was probably the pad See Ew - it had a great portion size and tasted delicious! We also ordered desserts, and the apple and almond tart was my personal favorite. The coconut sago was beautiful and the chocolate and hazelnut mousse cake was very rich - perfect for sharing between two people. Overall, we had a great time at Mekong Baby and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for tasty food and a nice ambiance.
