The won ton soup broth was absolutely delicious, the won tons tasted home made, and the veggies were fresh and flavourful. The salad rolls were great. The portions in the bowls we ordered were generous and the cucumber/lettuce/carrot salad were crunchy fresh. Top points for taste, freshness and appetizing appearance. The waitress was really friendly, they seemed to be doing a brisk phone in/take out business, and we'll be going back again, especially for the won ton soup.
The downside is there was only one waitress for the whole restaurant so other than taking our order and bringing tea once, we didn't see her again until we were finished. Also, the soup came out right before the other food so by the time we finished the soup, the bowl food was cold.
The food was excellent. Everything from the bahn mi, to the pho, grilled meats and the salad rolls. Flavours and texture were top notch. We would definitely come again.
Basil on Pho is now the new restaurant that's taken over the old Mekong River Reataurant. New ownership, not just a name change.
I've eaten a lot Pho over the years and can tell good broth (with proper stewing techniques) from generic quickie broth. This restaurant certainly uses good home style broth and nice textured noodles. The meat used isn't too chewy and the meal overall was good. I'll probably be coming back again and would recommend this restaurant to others.
Good, quick and polite service. Food was tasty and would definitely go back. We ordered the shrimp salad rolls along with the beef Pho and it was almost too much food.
Favourite PHO Go To Place. I've always enjoyed pho from time to time and this place makes it that much easier to get my hands on a bowl. The pho and its soup base has never failed to impress me and the portions are very generous. I particularly enjoy the traditional pho. The service is always friendly and quick and I'd gladly give this place two thumbs up.
Growing up and being lucky enough to have authentic Cambodian and Vietnamese foods all my life, River Mekong is where I go for home cooked South East Asian Dishes.
The price is extremely reasonable if you consider you are in White Rock. The inside decor is full of carvings and painting from Cambodia. Their menu is full of pictures an very easy to understand.
I have spent a fair share of time traveling in South East Asia and I can tell you they are probably one of the only places you can get a bottle of Tiger Beer leading to the fact they are a licenses restaurant.
Come in hungry because the portions are generous.
What I love the most is, if you visit twice within 5 days and your bring your receipt, you get a nice discount on your bill ( look at your receipt for the rules.
I am sure I will see you there as I frequent this place often!
Good Enough. Big Pho fan, was delighted when this place opened up in the old fish and chips place in uptown White Rock. The decor is still tacky but most good noodle houses spend more money on the food that the place. Have been here a few times and keep heading back as it is the only place to get Vietnamese slash Cambodian food on the peninsula. Not a destination restaurant by any means. Much less expensive in Richmond and Vancouver. I like the beef ball pho and here they slice them into thirds and maybe only give you three balls total in a small size ($8). Broth is good and clear, spring roll are amazing. Tried the Cambodian soup just yesterday and the both is much fuller and not clear. Full of bits of seafood and fish balls. Service is wonderful and attentive.
GREAT SERVICE AND FOOD!!!!. First of all the service was first class the food was amazing if your a pho lover or soup lover this place is insane love it!! you must try!!
Very generous portions of chicken and rice. Had chicken with rice for $9. Great big piece of chicken and biggest portion of rice I have ever had at an Asian restaurant. I am a big eater and I was full when I left. Also tried a bit of the chicken curry and it was very flavorful.
Had the Cambodian special soup with rice noodles, was wonderful and very cheap $8. Very good service, will return.
We were really worried after we had already ordered on DoorDash and THEN looked at the reviews. We don’t usually check reviews after so this was a risk for true foodies like us!
But, I’m giving them 5 stars! They were quick and precise on our order. My husband got & liked the pork bahn mi. We shared the popcorn chicken and fried roll, which we each liked as well. Our favorite was our original milk tea with pearls!
Price was fine. Taste was good. All meat cooked just right. Tea made great. No problems.
Hope this helps Pho Hoa with more traffic! They’re a good Vietnamese spot.
Ordered from here using Uber Eats. The Pho was very good, and packed well. It was the perfect dinner for a blustery evening. We will definitely order again.
