“ Excellent overall experience. Food is flavourful and fresh with a good variety. Service was welcoming and kind! Would absolutely come again! (Lettuce duck wraps and the salt and pepper squid had me coming for 2nds!) ”
“ The sesame chicken was not sesame chicken at all but rather sweet and sour. It was like what you would get at a strip mall, but exceptionally good, some of the best I’ve had in the recent past. The plate was huge for 20 bucks, no complaints. It didn’t come with noodles, they should definitely have a combination plate — I didn’t want to pay another 17 bucks for noodles so I got rice, which was a bad decision. There was a pool of sweet sauce at the bottom which would have been pretty good with them. I would have rated 4 stars overall, but I asked for some veggies and they cooked me some, insisting I don’t owe them anything for it. Great owners and authentic food, but they could really benefit from some menu organization/restructuring. I don’t know why it’s only 3.9 stars to be honest ”
“ We tried the buffet and it was excellent! We came when it was just opening and the staff were so attentive! Since they had just opened they kept bringing out new dishes every time we went to get more food! Highly recommend the sweet and sour pork, the black sesame squid, and the duck dishes!! Thank you for the great food and even better service :) ”

“ Mekong is our only go to for gluten free Chinese food. Fast service, and always with a smile! We absolutely love Mekong. Thank for providing such delicious food for my family! ”
“ I was there recently and the price was decent for the amount and quality of food that was given. I was happy with the service and the menu was traditional authentic Chinese food while there were also aspects that the owner's added to give it a modern twist. ”
“ Food is not bad, recommend the black pepper sauce chicken. Service was great. Servers kept checking on me, keep my tea pot full Atmosphere is a little dated, but it matches the vibe ”
“ Mekong is our favourite stop while in Kelowna. We always look forward to having a meal here. The lunch buffet is great, however, it was temporarily unavailable when we went recently, but their wok fried rice and brocoli & tofu dish are always a hit. As a Hong Konger, the food here is like home. Plus, the service is always warm and welcoming. ”
