Mekong Thai Cuisine - Wasilla, Alaska

I finally found the perfect flavor and portion size of Pad Kee Mao that I'll keep going back for in the valley! The veggies had the perfect crunch to them, and the veg to meat to noodle ratio was perfect! I tried the pot stickers as well. It would be nice if they included the sauce sides that they have at the tables at most places for to go orders.... but I will be going back for more!

Way over expectations. Ordered green curry, pad Thai and sauté chicken. Everything was excellent. Meat was so tender. Lots of veggies in the curry. Pad Thai was well balanced with sourness and sweetness(many places make pad Thai way too sweet). Will definitely want to visit again and try other items on the menu. ❤️👍

My boyfriend Ryan and I occasionally stop by for their pho. The atmosphere is a nice getaway. We always have a kind server. The pho makes me feel happy and full.

Called in an order for Chicken Phô to go. It was ready when I got there and OMG the trip home, north of Willow, was tough... the aromas were delightful!, anticipation, and I wasn't disappointe! I have tried other Thai restaurants and this one is the BEST. The restaurant is clean and staff friendly. I wish I lived closer to town. When I am and they are open it will be another treat!

I finally have found my Thai spot here in Alaska! Omg the place is a must try. We went here on a whim one day to fine in and started out with the fresh spring rolls which have tiny shrimp, chicken, and veggies. So fresh and the sauce on the side turned it up a notch. For the main course my husband had the Thai Basil w/ chicken which he enjoyed. I decided to try the Tom Yum Koong w/ Rice and shrimp, the flavors within the soup were punching me left & right with every bite. It was like a kid eating cake! To wash it down I had the delectable thai tea and it’s probably the best tea I’ve had in awhile. For dessert, I had the infamous Mango Sticky Rice. Y’all get into it, it was sooo good I went back for it 3 days in a row.

With that being said, we had take out from the restaurant. This time I tried the pad thai w/ chicken level 5 of level 10 spice. Prepare for a heat filled meal! Thank goodness I had that delicious thai tea to chase the spice away. I’ll go a bit lower next time. My husband had the Thai Chrispy Wings and let’s just say, those went quick. They were seasoned to perfection w/ sweet chili sauce on the side.

This restaurant is definitely a winner and I’ll be going regularly. Give them a try if you live this way or just visiting!

I'm rounding up my 4.5 rating. Also I approached this restaurant with the mindset of wanting Pho
Food:

Pros: for Alaska the Pho is fresh, hot, delicious 4.5/5 (the noodles were slightly off, not sure how else to explain). The service was great, everyone who helped us was super attentive, friendly, great at delivering alternative options if needed. 5/5
Specifically Tina helped us out expediently even though WE weren't ready for her in the beggining. Kind, efficient, attentive... couldn't ask for more
5/5

Cons: the Fresh spring rolls wrapping, while fresh wasn't to my preference in texture . 4/5

I fasted the entire day prior and came with an appetite. I had beef Pho, he had the Mekong chicken plate, we shared the spring rolls. Got a Thai tea for the road.
The beef in the Pho was the worst looking beef I've ever seen in Pho. It was unrecognizable cuts, few and far between and the meat ball was questionable. The basil was not fresh, nor were the bean sprouts.
We got served water and weren't asked if we wanted anything else. My husband did finally request Iced Tea. Nope, didn't have any. (Also don't serve beer or sake anymore so no alcohol, glad we didn't want any.) So drink choices are water or Thai tea. Who doesn't have Iced Tea though? Asian cuisine or otherwise?

Cleanliness: The chili pepper paste and sugar container spoons were dirty. Like days dirty. Not just "this lunch" dirty.

Service: We ordered the rice paper wrapped spring rolls. Were served fried. We didn't say anything because we were both hungry. This was the best part of the meal and a fortuitous accident. (Last visit I ordered the non fried and the mint was excessive and overpowering)

The Pho broth was very bland. No soy sauce or salt on the tables.

The Mekong chicken dish consisted of peanut "sauce" and a mound of rice.
It was way too sweet. Tasted like pureed peanut butter with extra sweetener and some pepper. He couldn't eat it.

Last time I was there I brought my friend who was visiting from the States. They forgot my food. After hers was half eaten they asked if we needed anything else. I said "My food?"
Got it to go since my friend was finished eating. It was Pad Thai and I hated it.
Was still charged full price!

So got the Thai tea to go. It was so sweet I couldn't finish it.

In closing, I've had Thai in many states and this was inedible. I've never not finished Pho anywhere.
We went elsewhere to eat after paying there.

Such a shame we waited for the remodeling and this is what we got. Won't be going back which is sad because I love Pho.

Their chicken pad Thai taste fishy. 🤢🤮 It’s not suppose to taste fishy. It tastes like either cross contamination or they did a heavy pour of anchovy sauce where the fishy taste is overpowering. I get chicken pad Thai at various restaurants & never had any issues until I tried this one. Even my boyfriend couldn’t eat it. Their spring rolls were decent, though.
