Mekong Restaurants in South Lanarkshire

This restaurant offered great food,great service, and real value for money. 4 of us went for lunch. The food tasted really fresh and aromatic. There was a good choice on the lunch menu. Portion sizes felt right. 4 of us had 2 courses, add in 3 coffee's, a spectacular banana fritter ( who knew this was possible) ,a bottle of wine and our bill was under £100. The spicing was very good. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or return. It's conveniently near hairmyers station

Food was delicious. Service was very attentive & decor lovely. Surprised by this wee gem in the East Kilbride & would highly recommend giving it a try.

Visited for lunch with a friend. Had starters and main courses. Small portions. Chose Tom Yum prawn soup for starter that cost an additional £2 supplement for prawn but the soup was served with just one lonely prawn! The main course was green curry but the sauce was very sweet and unfortunately a small portion as well. Given 2 stars for the friendly staff. Food regrettably would score 0/5.

Visited the mekong on the week day , we enjoyed the pre-theatre menu, the Food was excellent and lovely staff great service. Can’t wait to get back

Been a few times. Beautiful interior, consistently great service and excellent food and drink. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic Thai restaurant. Had lunch today and the food and service was amazing. Lunch menu was excellent value for money.

The food is amazing! Especially the curry and dessert. Fried bananas and sticky rice is a must! Highly recommended!

Foods are amazing! Love this place

Excellent meal, reasonable price

Came in here having read great reviews in “Glasgow’s Good Food Group” on Facebook. The reviews were spot on. The place itself is lovely. Staff were very friendly and efficient, but didn’t rush us. The food was great. The ribs were unbelievable. So good. The satay was so good we could have drank the sauce quite happily. The mains were brilliant. Overall a great place, good value too. Highly recommend

Lovely authentic Thai restaurant in EK , dishes are lovely. Highly recommend to try “mango fish” , sweet and sour, very refreshing and delicious. Also coconut rice is very good, they using very rich coconut milk on top of rice , soft and creamy texture is lovely to go with Thai curry 🍛

Food was lovely we had tofu and crab. Then tofu and prawns. Very tasty. A wee bit on the expensive side depending on what you choose but good menu.

Really nice staff and amazing food

A great night out good sevice good food

Very good food, welcoming staff, pre concert venue.

Delicious food , nice portions very well presented 🌸🥗

Went for my daughters birthday the restaurant is stunning and the food was amazing

Had lunch here today with my husband. The food was delicious, service was excellent will definitely be back.

A bit pricey for small portions but well tasty. Nice atmosphere and good service

Local to us, have had great lunches, staff friendly & helpful explain dishes.

Excellent as usual. Will be back.

Food was beautiful, service was excellent and staff were lovely.

Good lunchtime menu with the food nicely presented. The food tasted great too.

Best Thai - Chinese restaurant in the south side/EK area.

Outstanding food , service, ambience, they catered for 31 of us and every dish was on time and perfect , what can I say the flavours , spices were perfection. Zero complaints from every person , they took the best care of us and can recommend enough , we all can't wait to return Thank-you Mekong

Can't say anything wrong about this restaurant. Staff are very friendly and very experienced at their job . The food is fantastic with good sized portions. The prices are very reasonable for the care and attention that goes into each dish . This is my new " go to " place to eat from now on .

Highly recommend this restaurant. Excellent service, extremely fresh and delicious food. Steven (owner) was very helpful for helping us book a very large booking of around 60 people for our engagement. He kept in contact throughout the planning process and made our day perfect. The staff on the day provided fantastic, quick service. Definitely recommend

I am vegan and I ordered veg gyozas for starter and red Thai veg curry for main. I let them know I was vegan. When the starter came the salad had some kind of dressing that tasted like it contained milk. I let that slide but the main came and as I got to the end of my meal I was eating something and realised it was a bit of beef. I felt very disgusted as I haven't ate meat in over 10 years. Just be careful if you are a vegan at this restaurant. Apart from this experience everyone else enjoyed their food.

Nice place had the 2 course pre theatre' starters were nice. I ordered Korean Bibimbap and got nothing like Bibimbap. It was crispy chicken and rice. Nice but no what I expected. We pointed it out and got some barbled explanation about Thai version ...eh don't call it Korean then... its like calling a dish haggis and supplying fish and chips..

Exceptional food! Absolutely delicious and beautifully presented,.. can't wait to return.

Another fantastic meal in Mekong! Went along with a group of friends for an early Friday dinner! On arrival restaurant wasn't too busy but it quickly filled up and the atmosphere was buzzing! The food again was out of this world, the vegetarian [Greenhouse Menu] was fantastic and a super addition for any vegetarians in your party! They felt so included in there choices Excellent value and a must if in East Kilbride

This is the best restaurant ive been in in ek so far the staff are very helpful friendly and efficient the foids amazing

First class for service and enjoyable food and drink

absolutely beautiful place, the restaurant itself has expensive looking design inside and the food was just amazing. We had yum soup, which could be a little spicy but full of flavour, then green Thai curry and sweet and sour chicken with rice. Tasty and well presented food, we will definitely be back.

Went here on 09/03/24 with my partner and some friends for a meal. I had heard good things and they were all correct. Really friendly service from everyone there. The food was amazing. Very tasty and good portions. The price was good and will definitely be back!

Try it, you won't be disappointed. Fresh food, very good ingredients and very, very tasty. Best service I've had in years.

Forgot I hadn’t reviewed this lovely discovery near Hairmyres station. Worth the train journey and short walk from there. It’s in an odd location but inside it’s a pleasant restaurant with great service and the best bit was the melt in the mouth flavoursome food! We’ll definitely be back.

I went for lunch, going for the 2-course fixed price menu. Food was excellent, as was the attentive but not intrusive service. The décor is new and very pleasant. The gents toilets were also newly refurbished and spotlessly clean. Recommended, I'll certainly go back.

Delicious meal and great service. We will be back!

Brilliant restaurant, lovely staff, great service and the food was unreal - all at a reasonable price. 10/10 from me!

It's not often that a restraunt has five stars with so many reviews, but this one deserves its rating. If you eat here you will be treated to visually pleasing tasty food. Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant. We will be back often and also order the food as takeaway and delevery as it is pretty close to us.. Quality 10/10

Best restaurant in East Kilbride without a doubt! The food is amazing, great selection on the menu and the presentation of the food is absolutely stunning! The restaurant itself is beautiful inside as well! The staff really make this place as they are so attentive and kind! Well worth the money and already can’t wait to come back, thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Wonderful food - Thai green curry with jasmine rice was vibrant and robustly flavoured, friendly staff too, very extensive drinks menu. My friend had the Thai red curry, said that it was faultless. We both had the vegetable spring rolls, these were wonderfully made. I highly recommend it, and will be back!

Visited for the second time on New Year's Eve as a party of 11. The restaurant was full and there was a great atmosphere. Our servers didn't miss a beat, no meals missed, food was perfect, and drinks topped up. The food here is exquisite, full of flavour, great portions, and leaves you wanting to come back to try more. This is a must visit.

Lovely place, defi will be back xx

Fantastic food very good service ... bit on the expensive side but still worth a visit.

Best Thai food I’ve tasted in the Glasgow area, the Pad Krapao was fantastic.

Beautiful place, food was amazing and staff lovely, will definitely return. We had the lunch menu great value. Wine was also good.

Excellent food, well worth a visit!

First time visit to Mekong. Lovely restaurant, friendly staff, nice bustling atmosphere. Great choice on the menu. Starters £7/8. Mains £15-£20. We shared thai golden bags starter. It was very nice. I had chicken Phad Kra Po, which was minced chicken and was quite spicy. Others had Seabass Pla Phad Cha and chicken Phad Priew Wan which they really enjoyed. We all had jasmine rice, 2 rice between 2 would have been enough. No room for desert. Nice restaurant for special occasions. Would definitely recommend the restaurant and would return.

Beautiful restaurant with very friendly staff and delicious food. The barbecue sesame chilli is incredible. Great for a special occasion.

Atmosphere, food and service was brilliant! Lovely aunt treated us for dinner. I'll definitely bring my husband here!

To be honest it's not a Patch on the previous establishment,Sali Thai. The meal we had was Okay but I don't think value for money. Quite Overpriced not Authenticate either. .

Great food will definitely be back

Having eating in the restaurant and been impressed, we decided to try a take away. The wait was 40 minutes for collection, which wasn’t an issue as it was a busy Sunday night. No issues until I got home and an item was missing. I called and they offered to drop it off but as it was so busy it was quicker to go back. They had it waiting for me, but apart from an apology they offered nothing more. By the time I got home to eat it was 30 minutes from my original collection and the food was stone cold. Feel let down by the service.

Food was delicious & service was excellent. We had the pre theatre meal which was great value. Will definitely be returning.

A good friend did a review of this on Tik Tok. Had to visit after seeing it! Gorgeous food. Lovely place and amazing staff ☺️

First visit with the Family and it won’t be the last. The food was superb and the staff very attentive. The crab starter was excellent and I could have ate it as a main it was so good. All dishes were very well presented and the Korean crispy chicken was out of this world. Can’t wait to go back.

First time trying this restaurant and the service was fantastic and food was excellent, definitely worth a visit.

The Food and service was amazing. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely outstanding Thai food. Each course was amazing. Beautiful restaurant & lovely staff. I’d recommend the tempura, king prawn pad Thai & the deep fried ice cream! Can’t wait to go back, I can’t believe it good it was. 🤩 Great value for money too with the set menu’s.

Not only was the food delicious and the building beautifully decorated but the service was outstanding, they were very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Pleasant surroundings, friendly service and delicious food beautifully presented. We'll definitely be back.

Went for anniversary date night with the wife and was absolutely superb. A bit more expensive than your standard Asian food but this isn’t standard Asian food- it’s excellent. The atmosphere and staff were great too.

Best restaurant in EK , consistently great ✅👍

Having been recommended Mekong I thought I’d try out their lunch menu. Outstanding! Beautiful place, fabulous service and the food is incredible. Definitely will return and next time for dinner and drinks

Food in here is really good. Something a bit different from the norm. Nice, friendly staff as well.

I have been here 3 times now for dinner and going again next week for my sister’s birthday. The food is out of this world, the taste, the flavours and every dish is beautifully presented. I cannot believe such a restaurant with Thai food of this quality exists in East Kilbride, of all places lol. My sister was taken there by a work colleague and she could recommend it enough. I was skeptical as I thought if there was such a brilliant Thai place I would have heard about it but true to her word,the menu is full of authentic dishes and you know the flavours are going to be fresh, vibrant, zingy and pack a punch! Just what you expect from Thai food. The decor is stylish and elegant but comfortable to create a relaxing ambience to eat and relax.

I always look forward to going here. Friendly and attentive service. Broad choice of highly varied dishes. Food is DELICIOUS! Been 4 times now and have been thoroughly pleased on each occasion. AMAZING (try the softshell crab!).

Had a great lunch today for my partners birthday. Service was excellent from the minute you walk in the door! They were all so welcoming, friendly and professional. We also had our young baby with us too and they were just so good with him which added to the experience. Place is beautifully decorated and well spaced out, food is amazing and well presented. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be back!

Food was exceptional and the service was fantastic, I can see us being regulars here.

First time here but definitely won't be the last

Lovely new place, very nice interior. Staff are excellent! Food was outstanding. Menu a bit pricey for the portions but definitely well worth a visit. It was very busy when we went, did feel a bit rushed but will be back very soon.

Lovely staffs and foods are delicious😋 Make me feel like home. Lovely severe with beautiful vegetables. Recommend!

First time trying here and definitely won’t be our last. The waiters and waitresses are really nice, friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and was so tasty and fresh. The honey, chilli crispy chicken was amazing as was the garlic beef. Salt and pepper chips were sooo good too! The whole place has a lovely ambience and the decor is beautiful.

After reading reviews I was keen to try. Took my 10yr old along. Staff were excellent, very attentive. Food was very disappointing. Portion size for price. I ordered chicken stir fry I got chicken mince!! I didn’t want any rice as I’d had a starter but the portion was so small and cost and £14.50 for chicken mince. My son ordered ribs off main menu. There was little meat on them. Perfect for a child but tiny for adult for the price. Maybe I ordered the wrong main. I skipped lunch knowing we were going for dinner. Starter was hot and sour chicken soup, it was lovely but still very small. Over priced for portions size even in todays climate.

Walked in of the street with no reservation, was made to feel welcome straight away. Staff were very efficient and gave us water as we sat down then quickly bought our drinks. Our orders were taken and the food was delivered very quickly. The food looked great and tasted better! Starters and our main courses were great with superb service! The restaurant was busy and had a great vibe and it was Tuesday! Will definitely be back! What a great place to eat…..!

Beautiful restaurant with a great menu. Had lunch from the ala carte menu and both my daughter and my own starter and main were amazing!! Food looks and tastes beautiful. Staff are so friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend this restaurant and I’ll definitely be...

The restaurant looks lovely inside. The staff are really attentive and friendly. For starter I had golden parcels which was nice. For main I had stir fry chill/basil with beef. The beef was chewy and a low quality cut. The dish itself was very mild...

Lovely atmosphere, wonderful service & delicious food.

Lovely spot, the food was amazing

Came across this gem. We enjoyed perfectly prepared food, excellent service and all at reasonable price. Will definitely be returning in the future both for the lunch menu and for the a la carte menu.

Visited Mekong with a friend and it was fantastic. The restaurant is lovely, the service was great and the food was delicious. Can’t wait to go back again soon.

Three friends all had an amazing lunch. Food was just delicious and authentic. The decor was beautiful. Service was excellent too. I’d heard it was pricey but the lunch menu was good value for a high quality meal. We ordered a bottle of Sauv. Blanc...

Food, staff, and atmosphere outstanding! Has a very nice vibe, and the quality of the food is incredibly high. The staff, including the chef, are very attentive and take pride in the food. Highly recommend!

First time there tonight and it was fantastic. Couldn't fault it, definitely will be back.

Friendly staff, great service and lovely meal tonight! Definitely recommend this place!

Mekong offers a satisfying jaunt into Eastern cuisine, delivering well-priced, tasty dishes that offer a good value-for-money proposition. The flavours present a comforting blend that can easily find takers amongst those seeking an introduction to Oriental cuisine. However, it becomes apparent that Mekong's culinary repertoire is predominantly tailored to appease Western palates. This is not necessarily a downfall but rather a missed opportunity to showcase the full depth and breadth of the culinary traditions the East has to offer. While the food is certainly enjoyable, those seeking an immersive, authentic journey into the rich and diverse flavours of Eastern cuisine may find Mekong's offerings a tad bit diluted. The restaurant seems to play it safe, perhaps too safe, by opting for a 'universal appeal' approach. The result is dishes that are agreeable but lack the adventurous edge and complexity one might expect from an establishment touting Oriental cuisine. In essence, Mekong delivers a pleasant dining experience with a reasonable price tag and good food. However, it stops short of capturing the true essence of Eastern cuisine. For the uninitiated, it offers a decent starting point, but for the more seasoned palates, Mekong might lack the adventurous flair and authenticity they seek. Nonetheless, it's worth a visit for a quick, affordable taste of the East.

Second visit and can't wait to return. Excellent service and food , spoilt for choice on the menu. So many new dishes to try over the next visits. Thoroughly recommend.

I Went today for Lunch for My 15 year olds Birthday there where 4 of us the Food was Amazing & The staff where excellent they even brought out a wee cake with a candle and sang Happy Birthday to my Daughter above and Beyond . Highly recommended and will 100% return . 👌

Beautiful restaurant great food staff and atmosphere

This restaurant is absolutely stunning. Food is excellent. Staff were lovely. Can't wait to go back.

Чудове обслуговування, смачна їжа

The restaurant is so lovely decorated and spotless and the food did not disappoint. We have visited a few different Thai restaurants and this has been the best. Staff were all really nice, attentive and did not rush you. We highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Delicious food, fast service and very polite, attentive staff! Loved the atmosphere and the decor inside, although a little cold for my liking. Overall a very pleasant experience. Although when a waiter came to take our starter dishes, what looked like a manager grabbed her arm slightly aggressively and pulled her away from our table. This seemed very impolite to do in front of customers, however she was perfectly pleasant with us! But this was one off moment in an otherwise lovely evening. Highly recommend Mekong!

We've been big fans of Padi since it opened so we had high hopes for its sister restaurant. I'm very happy to say that it doesn't disappoint one bit. The food was delicious with fantastic sauces that are far removed from the gloopy fayre served by some Asian restaurants. Once again East Kilbride restaurants punching well above its weight.

Went for lunch and the food was amazing. Not only was the food amazing but the staff and atmosphere was also brilliant. Would highly recommend.

Superb restaurant-lovely decor, great food and fantastic service. Well priced. Highly recommended.

Top standard, amazing service, decor and food! Full review will be posted on my Tiktok @Rabireviews soon. The best Thai food I have tried in Glasgow/EK. I recommend the Fish Cakes and Thai Green Curry. The Chef is from Thailand and can recommend some traditional food. 10/10.

Bank Holiday Monday quick bite to eat, decided to head here. We used to come to Sala Thai all the time - Mekong have taken over there building. Was pleasantly surprised at how good both the food and the service was 2 course for £17...
