Mekong Delta

The pandemic changed a lot of things, but Mekong Delta is consistently the BEST PHO I have ever had in my life. I used to work up the street and go for pho at least once a week pre-Covid. I now work from home, so I don’t get to enjoy it as often- but it makes my 1.5 hour commute once a month totally worth it. I find myself looking forward to in office days because I know I’ll get my pho! The family that owns/runs it is so friendly and hardworking! My personal favorite is H4- so full of flavor!!! and I always ask for noodles on the side and a to-go soup container because the portions are so big, I can never finish it in one sitting! Such a great value!!!

Let me start by saying I rarely review food places, but the food here was so good that I felt compelled to share. I previously thought that I didn’t like Pho, because of the many times I have tried it in the past I have been very underwhelmed and disappointed. This however was not the case at Mekong Delta Cafe. The portion sizes are VERY generous, the prices are reasonable and the food is absolutely excellent. I had the Pho Ga, and my partner had the Hu Tieu Tom, both of which had extremely flavorful broths and some of the freshest ingredients I have seen from any carry out restaurant. As other reviews have mentioned, both broths (beef & chicken) do have a slight sweetness to them, but it is done in a way that complements the soup and it is not overpowering whatsoever. The Grilled Tofu & Vegetable rolls are massive and very fresh. Paired with a delicious peanut sauce they make for a very fresh & enjoyable appetizer. If youre on the fence, give this place a shot. It completely changed the way I feel about Pho and other Vietnamese noodle soups for the better and I will definitely be back again very soon.

Possibly the best pho I’ve had in America. Packed full of flavor and great portions. The beef meatballs are delicious! Definitely recommend and definitely will be visiting again. For me personally the atmosphere also adds to the experience, some of the best places I’ve eaten have been at “hole in the wall” restaurants. I wouldn’t necessarily consider this a hole, but pretty close.

I have been coming here for about six years and it is the best pho I have ever had, hands down. I eat A LOT of pho, I think I’ve tried about a dozen different pho restaurants in the Baltimore metro area in the last ten years, and this place easily surpasses them. The owners are super friendly and I have never had a single meal that was less than stellar. The summer rolls are great, and the lemongrass tofu is so flavorful. If you are downtown and in need of a tasty very filling meal, please go to Mekong!
