Authentic rare beef pho! The soup is refreshing and well seasoned. The beef is not rare but somehow much more tender than other places I've been to. The noodles are cooked well - not too firm, not too soft. However, they have a bit of a stale aftertaste. Very friendly service :)

Best pho I’ve tasted! I tried the pho ga and the spicy beef pho. They’re both so good and the serving is big. I love their vegetarian summer rolls as well!

I’m giving a 5 star not only to the food but to the service as well. Lovely people. My boyfriend ordered lemon iced tea and they mistakenly thought he wanted iced tea but they exchanged it right away, no fuss.

Value for money. Pho was really delicious! This place is known for one thing- the pho. My friends ordered other stuff like fried rice and combination rice and they felt it was OK. The pho broth was truly unique, sweet and salty. I could really taste the beef bones and marrow that have been boiling for hours and hours. Excellent, bringing a taste of Vietnam to Wellington.

Great Vietnamese pho and a pretty good Chow Mein on crispy noodles. I've come here for years when I crave Pho.

Tasty food at fair prices. No complaints at all.

Delicious. This place has been around for 20+ years. Not a lot has changed in that time. Not that I'm complaining cos the food was good back then and it's still good. Beef ball pho and avacado shake are my usuals.

Really lovely, fresh and interesting food! I had a beef noodle soup-y kind of thing, (Bee Bung) with a fresh lemon flavour to it. Service was great. Super reasonable prices too.

This is definitely my favourite Vietnamese Restaurant here in Wellington. It's got a quaint atmosphere with friendly staff, and the food is always great. Their pork bun is one of the best I've tasted; add a dash of hoisin sauce and it's perfect! One of my fav meals is Be Bung, with a tasty and generous amount of "toppings" (grated carrots, ground peanuts, a couple of meatballs, stir-fried beef that's really tender and juicy, and spring roll). Finely chopped lettuce and some mung bean sprouts are just under the vermicelli, and the balance between the fish sauce and sugar makes the entire dish a delight to consume. It's reasonably priced at $11.50, although I think the pork bun's a bit expensive at $4.00 considering its size.

My partner and I went to Mekong for his birthday, and I was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance isn’t much to write home about and the service was good enough, but the Báhn Tam was amazing! Both myself and my partner ordered this meal and had zero regrets. By itself, the vermicelli noodles are lightly flavorful, but I felt that the dish became perfection after the addition of chili oil and vinegar. The vegan egg rolls are a nice touch. We also ordered some hot jasmine tea, and our total came out to ~$40.

Been coming here for well over 5years and I owe it a review. Hands down the best Vietnamese spot by far don’t let the looks fool you😂!! Huè spicy beef pho soup if the BEST!! The owner thought I had started coming when I was in college and was shocked to find out I was 30 and the girl I had always come with was my partner and not my sister😂😂

Decent Pho served in generous sizes, and their other dishes are also really well done - good for a quick and easy meal that'll hit the spot. It's a nice and quiet spot, good for families or those looking for a quiet meal in the middle of a busy day.

Mid price but nice food! We really enjoyed that. The banh tam vermicelli noodle salad and the skewers are really good. My friend ordered a large noodle soup $18 and it was huge!

I would recommend Bee Bun, as well as spicy beef noodles for those who love super spicy (there's extra chili on the table for you to enjoy). Value for money

Great place but definitely a dine in spot to me. Have had delivered quite a bit but it's always so much better in the shop. The condiments on the side make every bite better than the last with a killer chilli oil to soak your dumplings in or fancy up your pho. The chicken curry is delicious and so are the spring rolls but you can't go wrong with the pho or the rice paper rolls either.

Food was ok and at a good price range. The place by itself looks like it needs an upgrade in general. They do have vegetarian options and the guy that took my order was really friendly. I will probably get back in some point to try their stir fried dishes. I saw several locals coming in and out for late lunch. My only “complain” is that usually with pho they give you a lot of veggies on the plate, I think they can improve by increasing the portions for the veggies at least 50% more.

Super friendly host, comfort warm asian cuisine. They were about to close but took us anyway, it was raining hard! The beef noodle soup is delicious and perfect for a cold night.
