Quick info
About Mekong
On Magazine St in Londonderry, Mekong is a Vietnamese restaurant that takes walk-ins rather than bookings. The food menu runs alongside a wine, beer, and cocktail selection, and a cocktail bar sits at the back of the room. That back bar features live music, giving the space a second draw beyond the dining tables at the front. Guests can settle in for a meal or head straight to the bar for a drink without reserving ahead. The layout keeps the dining area and the bar distinct within the same address on Magazine St.

“1st time at Mekong last night, and everything was 100% The food was excellent (so many flavours) and the cocktails and wine were amazing! The vibe of the restaurant and bar was great, very cosy and welcoming. The staff were so personable and accommodating 😊 Some soft live music in the bar area would top off what is already a fantastic dining experience.....5🌟👌”

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the crying tiger beef, a spicy main one reviewer could not stop eating, with the sea bream starter, masaman curry and pad Thai close behind. One reviewer, who doesn't usually like spicy food, calls it the star of a meal where three small plates each felt completely different. Desserts get praise too, especially the pistachio mirror cake, and the six course tasting menu is described as fresh. The cocktails and wine come up repeatedly, including the Lychee Spritz, and several mention the cocktail bar at the back and its live music as relaxed. Staff are described as friendly, accommodating and attentive, from a table that was held for family members running late to a solo diner who felt looked after. The reviews carry no recurring complaint. One reviewer, who loved the soft music in the bar, would still like more of it, and another returned after a long gap to find the meal as good as ever.
