I can see how this is a great lunch spot for the folks who work downtown- quick service, generous potions, and minimal interaction with the staff. The food was good but nothing extraordinary. The veggies we're very fresh and the house tea was delicious...Read More

Literally the best curry ever. Not sure my mouth has experienced so much action before. I am glad the party loved the food as much as I did. Seriously the best. Also my picture shows an empty bowl. For good reason!Dietary restrictions: Gluten and dairy

I'm not from Olympia, so I can't base my review locally. However, I've been to Thailand and eat Asian food often. Mekong food was good but not superb. It was good enough that I wasn't disappointed, but also not amazed. I ordered five dishes...they...Read More
