Honest Mekong Kitchen Thai Restaurant Review
📍 Hurricane
We tried this Restaurant for the first time last night (08/13/2023) after binging the Karate Kid Movies 🤣
What we ordered: Spicy Fried Rice with shrimp. Fried rice with shrimp. Potstickers. Orange chicken comes with a small side of white rice. 1 fountain drink. Cost: $70.
Location: Convenient. Right off of Main Street by the movie theatre
Staff: Friendly & helpful
Time: We placed a pick up order. They said food would be about 15 min & that was accurate. Food was warm & ready when we arrived.
Price: This is where we are a little disappointed. The amount of food we got, compared to the price we spent, was not ideal. Our order plus small tip for our take out order was $70. If I’m going to spend that much on a meal, I’m not going to choose to go here. I wish we got more potstickers for $9.
Quality: It was decent. Not fantastic. Not bad. The rice tasted as expected. The orange chicken was better than excepted & this is where I could tell it was authentic vs somewhere like Panda Express
Options: They had a decent amount of options. However I don’t like that you can’t customize your dish. When ordering fried rice, you can pick chicken shrimp or beef. But you can’t select the type of chicken. Normally we get orange chicken or sweet & sour chicken with fried rice. You can’t do that here. The chicken is chicken. You must order a separate dish of your preferred chicken. My husband ordered the spicy fried rice. They asked on a scale of 1-5 how spicy he wants it. He asked for a 4. He said it wasn’t spicy at all.
Overall it was a neutral experience. If we could customize our order more, i think it would lower the cost, & therefore we would go back. But I don’t see us going back in the future. I’d rather spend $70 elsewhere.
Let me know if this was helpful & if you’d like to see more detailed reviews in the future!
This is how our food looked at pick up. The box was a nice touch to carry it all. I added on potstickers last minute which were an extra $9 onto the total you see posted.
These are the potstickers. They tasted good but I’m disappointed by the quantity for $9
This was the spicy fried rice. The amount of onions was overwhelming
This is the shrimp fried rice. Too many onions
This is the orange chicken. Comes with a very small Side of white rice - “steamed rice”
This is the steamed rice
