β β β β β Mekong is one of the oldest Chinese Restaurants in Chinatown OTTAWA. The ownership has been changed recently. It reopens just couple days ago. It got renovated to a brand-new look inside. Simple but classy. Second floor can host private events for about 40 people. Menu is new. Dishes are very Chinese authentic tasted with Canadian friendly way. For some dishes like whole Peking duck you need to order one day in advance, which make senses for small restaurant like this. Itβs everything new but same great taste.

β β β β β The food presentation was decent however the quality was much lower than other places that you could get the better quality and much lower price (ours was 22 per dish including the rice which we could get a better quality with 16$). We were offered a drink which it was not good at all that we couldnβt even take a sip! They rejected the refund and gave us another drink which was much better in taste (which is kinda fair -ish).
What really burns me and makes me not wanting to go back ever to this place is the fact that they have the cutest robot bringing you the food and when we paid, the server said as I quote βYOUR BILL DOESNT INDCLUDE THE TIP BTW!β We decided not to tip because the robot did all the work and the nature of tip is to appreciate the good service which we even thought we werenβt satisfied, we decided to count the drinkβs price (10$) as their tip and the fact that the server points out the tip thing is rude and demanding (My personal ideaβ¦)

β β β β β Great services! All the workers where so kind and food was amazing! Will definitely be coming back for more. If you find yourself downtown I highly recommend stopping by. (Plus the owners are very nice and helpful)

β β β β β This restaurant is one of the oldest restaurant I know of in Ottawa. It is super super cozy and has great ambience! The food is always spot on and so flavourful! portions are quite big, perfect for family dinners. The staff are super friendly and they even have a little robot on their team to help out! Defiently a great restaurant to visit. Portions are big, good priced, and staff are friendly and helpful! The best is the hot and sour veggi soup. defiently a good soup to have when feeling cold or sad :)

β β β β β The setting and ambience of the restaurant is great, it's unfortunate that this could not make up for the absolutely horrendous service we received. We were seated upstairs and basically forgotten about, we had to go and call the servers on multiple occasions to get a pitcher of water and condiments. We were made to wait at least 20 mins before anyone came to collect the plates and give us our bills, and that is after I went down to call someone. We were "guided" to tip the largest amount by the server pressuring and suggesting tip options, essentially forcing us to tip a very large amount for a service that did not meet even half that. They were reluctant to give us plastic bags to carry out foods too. A shame that the service is definitely what gave this spot a bad rep for the night.

β β β β β Food was just okay, we tried several dishes, pad Thai, Hot and Sour fish soup, dumplings, and beef/broccoliβ¦and they were far from wow. Staff was friendly, robot was entertaining but It was really cold in the restaurant so hard to enjoy or want to stay long. In comparison to other authentic Asian restaurants Iβd have to rate it a 2 star. Would not go back.

β β β β β This place is amazing. We travelled in to the city from Stittsville to support a restaurant that suffered during Convoy. We stumbled upon Mekong. The restaurant was warm and cozy, staff are delightful and the food was the best we ever had in Chinatown. Ohβ¦and I have he food is served by a robot. How fun is that?

β β β β β One of my absolute favourite restaurants downtown! The dishes are delicious and made with lots of care, while the workers and owners are very kind. Itβs a little far for us, but the trip is definitely worth it! 100% a restaurant you should check out!
