Great food, great portion sizes, cost effective pricing, and wonderful customer service! I was visiting Baltimore for a work trip and happened to stumble upon this restaurant. I went right before the store closed so there wasn't a wait when ordering. If you are looking for great tasting Vietnamese restaurant in Baltimore then this is your place! This is a family owned restaurant and the owner is very friendly! The food has great flavor and was reasonably priced with good portion sizes. I definitely plan on coming back! read more

As a Viet from Houston, this is OK. The portion is big, the price is right, but flavorwise it's a very sweet broth with heavy green onion oil and fried garlic or shallot flavor, which isn't traditional to me. I prefer a more beefy flavor. Their rare steak slices are very thick as well, but not chewy at least. However some people like their pho this way. The owner is really nice and I think it's a nice decent quick bowl of pho. read more

Mekong Delta Cafe - Rare steak pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I came during lunch hour from jury duty and I have no regrets. The rice could be crispier but that's a personal preference and I believe the crisp is intended to come from the garlic, not the rice. I got F8 which is the shrimp and garlic fried rice and I did medium spicy since I've never had it. I could have gone full heat. The shrimp are cooked well and I love the flavor of the rice. Garlic lovers, this is for you. I don't like broccoli but I did like the cabbage and I'm glad there were veggies. It's a little shop in the food center and it's next to one other shop that also has food. Open seating so you can sit at a table or the bar area. I'll definitely be back for some pho next time. read more

Definitely some great authentic viet food, the northern trad viet pho wasn't very different to what I'm used too and the spring roll was wrapped pearl and great ratio, the divey strip mall is a good sign of real gems inside read more

I owe this place a review for years!!! :) I started eating here when they were at the old location and we remembered them by how they served their pho in square bowls! :) Fast forward years later, they moved to a food court and I still would go with my friend whenever we can. If and when I visit Baltimore, I would still go. They had the largest bowl of pho, that almost spills out the brim. A perfect proportion of onions, cilantro, meat, and their noodles also are cooked perfectly; somehow more "q" than other pho noodles and slightly thinner. The broth is usually darker and aromatic. The owner Leo is really nice and I see their kids doing homework around the area--a trademark of a legit Asian establishment, haha. I would go through the stupid parking garage situation to eat there, lol. read more

A friend was in town for the day and we were having a fun day so we hit up all of my fave places and found some new ones. I had to take them to Mekong Delta. It has been my favorite since pandemic times and it still does not disappoint. The pho and the lemongrass beef are soooooooooooo GOOD. Jeez Louise. If I could, I would eat it 2-3xs a week. My friend really loved it too. Service amazing! We ate there in the food court before an event and that was pretty "interesting" but still a great Baltimore adventure. I had to update my review from almost 4 years ago just to stay, still FIRE! read more

Service was fast and very kind. The Lemongrass Beef Rolls ($6.75) was okay. The beef was a little dry, but still tender. We got the Pho Rare-Flank Beef and Bun Bo Hue (another pho). The broth was more on the sweet and sour side - not the typically flavor profile I enjoy in a pho. The meat in both the phos were also dry, but surprisingly still tender. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee ($4.75) was strong, but really good. The right amount of sweetness too. Mekong Delta Cafe is located in a food court. Many of the store in the food court have gone out of business so the food court is mainly empty and gives abandoned vibes. There is a parking garage that charges $8 for up to 1 hour. It says $7 but they also charge a $0.99 service fee. read more

solid food, surprising in this location, but a very nice lunch and not overly expensive. The soup was good (bun bo hue), but the standout for me were the garden rolls - huge, super fresh, delicious peanut sauce. read more

I ordered the chicken Pho for takeout It was so delicious and so filling!!! Also the price is so good for the amount of food given. They even set up the food in proper containers and it's comfortable to carry home. Thank you so much, I definitely will order again read more

Mekong Delta Cafe - what I had leftover after eating until full - Vietnamese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This is located at the food court so there are other choices inside. Ample tables and chairs for group seating. Parking maybe hard as there are limited street parking, although there a garages within .0x miles - walking distance! This cafe serves Asian food Viet, so pho, rice meals, noodles and you can choose the level of spiciness too - mild, medium, hot/spicy. I ordered V5 and for me, the rice serving was way more than enough for my 3 meals (maybe 2 meals for some). Considering I'm not a veggie person and got this veggie meal with tofu, it's good! I picked medium spice level and the rice was so tasty and addicting (maybe because I love spicy foods). My stomach can't huge servings though so I had leftovers, leftovers for lunch tomorrow and the next day! Woohoo! That means it comes down to like $4 per meal! Place is not the nicest, but it's maintained (clean). Very affordable considering the location! Would be back again to try the pho. read more

Visiting Baltimore for work and found Mekong Delta Cafe (MDC). Located in a food court in downtown Baltimore, MDC is a totally hidden hot spot any PHO/Vietnamese fan looking for a great meal. Visited during the end of the lunch hour and was able to view the menu as well as ask questions. I've experienced great PHO is available on the East Coast especially in the DMV, and was surprised how well MDC delivers. Again MDC is located in a food court so be mindful of seating. There are several other red at this location and based on customer interest, seating can be a challenge especially on a great sunny day. MDC has several great options for PHO as well as traditional Vietnamese dishes and sandwiches. For this visit I specifically came for the PHO but will be back to try something different. The broth was a savory but spicy and when enjoy with the additional toppings you will quickly enjoy what MDC has prepared for you. Spring rolls were twice the spice you expect but also very delicious. Mekong Delta Cafe was a great experience and reasonably priced. If you're in the area, stop by and enjoy some delicious PHO! read more

Mekong Delta Cafe - Beef pho with an order of spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Great Vietnamese place located in a deserted food court, well worth going to. Over my visits have had the pho, rice and noodle dishes and have been WELL satisfied (food quality, quantity and price). Havent had the Vietnamese coffee though my friends say its great. Havent had their vegetarian dishes but based on my experiences of non-veg dishes I've had must br equally good. Note once you order you will have your wait about 15/20 mins but its worth the wait. DONT MISS OUT THIS GEM!!! read more

I haven't been to Mekong Delta in years. So happy that they are still open in the same space in the Food court on Charles Street. I ordered the grilled marinated pork with white rice and broccoli. It was delicious and more than enough for me. The service was great and quick. Will come back for the pho. I've had the pho before and it's amazing. read more

This is one of the few places I get lunch from (I typically bring mine) when in the office. I've worked downtown for nearly a decade but only in the last couple years knew about this place. To be fair, Pho Viet was across the street from my old office building. Any who, the first time I came here was at my coworker's recommendation. I got summer rolls and flank and rare beef pho. The first time the broth was too sweet and I thought my coworker led me astray but every time since (I get the same thing) has been more balanced and quite delicious. Solid lunch spot with great prices! read more

Incredible pho, kind staff and easy to grab a quick lunch. The broth was an elixir for the cold day in the city! read more

Mekong Delta Cafe - Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Came back post pandemic and enjoyed the Beef summer rolls. They are already sauced within the dish but also came with a delicious peanut sauce. Very filling! I'd come back solely for these and two of them could definitely make a meal. My friend had the pork noodle bowl with chicken broth with a very unique flavor. Smelled so good. I had the grilled pork with fish sauce. Can't wait to come back this fall/winter for the pho! The ambiance is a bit challenged with the location in the food court but the owner Leon makes dining in a pleasure! read more

So so so good. Got this place recommended to me for lunch during jury duty and I'm glad I went. Flavorful and the owners were so kind.

Big bowl of delicious pho. Rich broth, lots of chicken. Pretty standard add-ins keep it fresh and lets you determine the heat (I like it spicy!) Love the family at the center of it all. read more

Fast, fresh, and Friendly! Downtown Baltimore on foot and this is a good choice if in the mood for Pho. Solid choice with friendly guy up front. Broth was tasty and spring rolls were fresh. I can't ask for much more.... read more

Mekong Delta Cafe - Vietnamese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The food is delicious, fresh, at a great price, and they do NOT skimp out on portions. The service is on point every single time, and the owner is such a pleasant person. The ambience is perfect any time of day, but especially in this gloomy, cold weather when you need a warm pick-me-up. read more

Worst Vietnamese food either of us have ever had. I have no idea about the good reviews. I had the shrimp and pork with vermicelli. The shrimp tasted like rubber. The pork wasn't terrible but it had no Vietnamese food flavor. Kind of like a Western barbecue flavor. It was served with some lettuce leaves instead of pickled vegetables we are used to. My wife had the vegetarian pho. Not horrible but nothing flavorful about it. It doesn't help that the food is served in a disposable container. They also had no option for water with the meal. It is a food court not a restaurant. The staff was also not very friendly. I could deal with all of that if the food was good. It is not. I should give one star, but I reserve that for truly horrible food. read more

Came back after six years and have similar feelings. The whole area had few food options open on the day, which is unfortunate. Tried the pho with tripe and tendon as well as seafood hu tieu. Portions here are huge and generous which is very nice. Unfortunately, I feel like all the broth is way too sweet for me the way it's cooked (hard to tell if it's MSG or sugar). Hu tieu broth is tastier than the pho and not a bad choice. However, not a bad choice if you're hungry and looking for a quick fix. read more

Mekong Delta Cafe - Curry Chicken (with no vegetables, exactly as I requested) - Vietnamese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The area is fairly easy to park. The restaurant is located within a food court, giving plenty of options and seating. The service was quick and the server was nice. [3/5] Dishes | Pho Dac Biet I have had my fair share of pho and I would say Mekong's pho was the most unique I have tasted. It is both beefy and oddly sweet, even before adding any Hoisin sauce. I was not a fan of the naturally sweet broth. However, the star of this dish is the portion. I have never seen a restaurant give so much noodles. The beef was cooked well. I would come back here for the value of how much food is given. read more

Mekong Delta Cafe - Beef Pho (P2) - Vietnamese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Great food and lots of it! One order can easily (and should) serve two people. Food court at Charles Center location, with 5 star restaurant quality food. While pho centric, the rice and vermicelli dishes are also amazing. Summer rolls, egg rolls, seafood rolls are a meal by themselves and accentuated by the carrot vinegar dip or hot side dip are worth the trip to this place! The pork (G3) dish was fantastic with the right amount of broccoli and tons of pork will keep me happy for two days. Vietnamese Ice coffee had the strong coffee flavor with condensed milk without the super sweetness I try to avoid. This is a Baltimore gem! read more

This place was surprisingly good. There were not many people there for dinner, which surprised me for a trendy looking restaurant. It Made me worried about the food, but the Pho was really good and fresh. I think we had some rolls for apps that were good too. Looked like a good spot for a drink as well 4 stars for lack of ambience/ people but hopefully they will inspire more to come for dinner! read more

Lunch today was fabulous as always! I got the P5 which is pho with steak and tendon. They put so much meat in their delicious pho, the noodles and broth are also delicious. I really enjoyed my lunch in their food court, where the tables are Very Very far apart. I will be back there again very soon, bc it is my favorite place to walk to for lunch! read more

This is a Vietnamese spot I've heard great things about for a long time but I only very recently was able to visit! It's a bit out of the way and hard to find (it's in the food court at this location, see my pics) and the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. Yet, despite all that, it's is 5 star based on the food, the price, and the service. If you're in the area and enjoy Vietnamese I can't recommend it enough. It's also going to be my new go to spot for whenever I have jury duty as it's walking distance from the courthouse. The only thing I will say is that for any Bahn Mi lovers, it's not on the menu. read more

The combination beef pho bowl was $9.95 huge bowl with lots of meat, noodles so fresh chewy and quality doesn't drop as it soak in the soup. I can smell the beef broth when putting down the table, it's authentic. Highly recommended. There's bathroom in the food court very clean and you will need to ask restaurant for the key. Owner is very nice and friendly. The only reason i didn't give 5 stars is because when we were eating there's a guy running around the food court and harass us for money, he didn't want to leave until we pay him. I think he's always go to the food court. I will do take out if i ever come back. :( read more

The cafe like place is in the EATS food pavillion on Charles street. Lots of pictures to order through, but I was sent to try a dish I was told was nice. The F9 crab and shrimp Garlic fried rice. The place smelled nice, like a confectionary cafe, unfortunately that was from another place across the way. Chicken and Waffles..., for another review. Mekong took only a few minutes to prepare. Seating is available, and if you plan it right, covid can be followed. As for the food, the Garlic sauce and rice combination was filling. The Shrimp was a big and around a bakers dozen. I would guess 21-25, but some were a bit bigger. The Crab was real crab, although sparse, for $10 it was enough. And finally, there was plenty of food in the serving, I mean an army of burritos, note the pictures the first was before I ate, the second was after. Wow! The final thought, the food was more than enough for a lunch. The flavors were evident but I have to play with the amounts for the best seasons, as I am new to Vietnamese cooking. read more

To preface I am a Vietnamese American from Boston and I have been having trouble finding Pho that is close in caliber to the Pho there. This pho is very different than any pho I've ever tried. I just don't think it's for me. They top it with fried garlic which I've never seen before. The peanut sauce for the spring rolls is also different than anything I've had before. It just wasn't what I was expecting and I just didn't enjoy it. It came with a very nice portion of meat though and it is much cheaper than the rest of the pho spots around. The people working there are very nice and there were lots of people eating from there so maybe it's just me but if you're looking for standard pho this isn't it. read more

I absolutely love this spot. I'm a fan of Pho so finding one close to my apartment was AWESOME!! They are super friendly and the H1 soup is Delicious Let's not forget their HUGE Summer Rolls. You get 2 palm sized rolls for $6. Can't beat that. A must try . read more

Personally, I think this is the best pho spot in the city. My go to is P6: the Pho Special. The meatballs and tendons are very good. Some may not be a fan of the Broth due to its sweetness but I personally love the taste. Once you add the lime and sauces, you will be amazed by the depth of flavor. The service is amazing!! It's my number one reason for coming back. They are always so nice and respectful. The location is a little difficult to find. I hope they are able to move to their own location some day. My only complaint (or suggestion) is the lack of tripe in the pho. I think it would be an excellent addition to the bowl. Other than that, I would most definitely recommend coming to Mekong Delta. the price is very affordable and the menu is very well balanced. read more
