The Mekong Cat in Stockport

There’s no denying this place is popular- as my friend and I waited for our Summer Rolls, 3 groups were turned away. However, the rolls were not to my taste at all. Prawns and mint? Eugh!

Fantastic place. Food is amazing. Make sure you book though as its very busy

Food was great, only issue was my main was served within minutes of receiving my starter

Food OK. Really cold restaurant Mains very oily and needed more oomph

Fantastic meal, absolutely delicious. Looked at meals being brought out to other tables and they looked really nice as well. I would recommend booking. There aren't many tables and I saw a couple of groups being turned away as they were full. The people are very nice and the service was very quick. Would highly recommend.

One of the best restaurants you can have!! The staffs are so nice and lovely and the food oh my god… no wonder they are so busy and popular and require pre booking😋😋😋we came to this place from Sheffield and it’s definitely worth it!! And it’s very vegan friendly as well💚

Outstanding food, helpful and friendly staff, didn’t feel pressured or pestered like in some other eating establishments, easy to book online. Will definitely return, even though it’s 13 miles away 🍜

The best pho in the Manchester hands down. Other Pho places tastes watery, but the food here is so delicious. Affordable, authentic, and the best restaurant for miles. Edit I love this place, but the last couple times I had Pho it tastes like water. I don't know if quality dropped because they're so busy. The service is efficient but not very friendly. I will be back and hope their broths improves.

Went for lunch and it was delicious. Another review recommended the Mekong chicken wings and I was so glad I chose them they were amazing! Definitely would go back!

Very nice restaurant. Food was great and service was very friendly.

Amazing food, generous portions and fast service. Really extensive menu, and a whole load of vegan options too.

Been twice now and loved it both times. Delicious menu, great vegetarian options along side solid meat options. Relaxed feel. Friendly staff. What more could you want?

Very, very tasty. Very very reasonably priced. 3 visits and counting.

(Updated review) Great food at reasonable prices. Food was delicious and came very quickly. I absolutely love this place.

What a lovely place. Good food and great service. Asked for tap water and it arrived straight away as opposed most restaurants who either forget or deliberately forget. Quality service indeed. Veggie spring rolls were pleasant. Very happy with my Lao style combo pho. Everything in it was cooked to perfection. Broth was not oily at all and was refreshing. Partner had curry noodles with tofu and he really loved it. I didn't even get to try a bit! He was saying there's something special about the taste. He was raving about the tofu too. Such a shame we don't live in Stockport otherwise we'd have visited very often! We will definitely be back when in Stockport next!

my partner and I absolutely loved this little place, have seen it recommended a few times on social media and decided to book to try it. The food was 10/10, it’s a little place with only a few tables so we really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the open kitchen vibe. Everything we ate was unreal, we especially loved the wings, crispy squid and pad Thai. Service was friendly and fast, and the price is more than reasonable. Will definitely be a local favourite for us and can’t wait to return!

Great little place! Update, we've been many times now and it's always tasty 😋

Amazing food lovely staff had a fab time would definitely recommend 😊

Delicious food and an incredible amount of choice. My only constructive criticism would be to let customers finish their starters before bringing out the main as some tables are quite small. The smells coming from the kitchen were incredible. Wanted to try everything!

Great food! Really authentic and the Asian fried tonight’s for desert are a must!

Fabulous food in a small cafe, so happy we found it. Not easy parking, but well worth the effort. Excellent menu, great value.

Wow just wow! What a great place to eat. A whole page of vegetarian / vegan options on the menu. I recommend booking as it is very popular. Lovely fresh food cooked in an open kitchen. The smell as you walk in is amazing! Will definitely return!

A woman in black uniform put our order down for us. She had a very bad attitude. Since the name of the fried noodles in the menu was not in English, we didn’t know how to read it. We wanted to try to point it out to her, but she said in a very rude manner, "I can't see it!" "Then she yelled at us to read it out in a very rude manner, and the diners at the isolation table also saw it, which made us feel extremely embarrassed. Then I tried to read it out, and she actually responded with a rude attitude and told us the real way to read it. , and then asked us what kind of meat we chose in a judgmental tone. In the end, my friend and I couldn't eat anymore because we were so upset, so we decided to leave because we didn't do anything when we entered the restaurant. Bad behavior, just looking at the sign. I don’t know why he treats us like this. We are guests. I can’t think of why he treats us like this. I’m really annoyed. I was happy to go out to eat with good friends, but how could I know that unfortunately Met this waitress with a very bad attitude! This is how I really feel, no fiction!

Nice little restaurant. Ordered Pho and it’s great. Apparently quite busy on a Saturday afternoon. Would recommend to book for table.

Pleasant little cafe with the best pho I've had in recent memory. My daughter loved it!

Homemade Thai food 😋 makes sure you book in advance

10/10 absolutely amazing food, probably the best Asian food we’ve had outside of Asia, I had the summer rolls, garlic wings and drunken noodles, all where spot on and the vegan chicken and seitan was so tasty. Our server was also lovely!

Very tasty and filling food! We went on A Saturday as the doors opened with a reservation - it gets busy quickly so I recommend booking a table beforehand. The summer rolls are massive and crispy salad is great to share between two. I went for the Lao special pho with extra meatballs for the main and it was delicious. Good selection of condiments on the side too.

visited twice so far, even though I did not like to beef pho the first time - it was very murky and unappealing not clear as it should be, also didn't taste good at all. gave it another chance because of the good reviews, this time I had bun hue noodles and whilst the flavours were good, it was such a small portion that it should have been a starter and not a main. contained about 30g of chicken max and I left hungry. won't be back.

Oh my goodness, the food is amazing! Went for lunch with a chef, a teenager and a toddler and everyone loved it! Sooooo much to choose from, and a whole vegetarian menu too. Couldn't pick between lemongrass tofu and spicy seitan, so they did me half and half - both were absolutely delicious! But the star was a side of crispy cauliflower which blew everyone away. New favourite place in Stockport.

B'anh mi classic - no hot pepers too much carrot no daikon radish very little cilantro bun was good , something had a bit of a musty taste not bacon roll ham instead late on making for take away Had lunch there the day before pho duck very good , presents as a clean eatery im sure they could do better

Amazing !! So many options for both vegans and gf. Can't wait to go back.

Just love this place - the food is amazing & incredible value, ( Bun Bo Hue is a must order),the staff are always warm & friendly - simply perfect!

we got the khao soi, garlic chicken wings and mee kathang. khao saoi was really flavourful and rich. gave options for bone in and boneless chicken. garlic chicken wings were excellent. crispy and seasoned really nicely. the mee kathang was a let down. noodles were mushy and it had a weird strong smell. but taste wise it was nice. would give it a pass tho. place is small so calling in to reserve is highly recommended.

Lovely place, really nice staff and great food. Very fair price and good portions, definitely recommend

We've been searching for a South East Asian restaurant for a while. Glad we found this little gem. Very reasonable pricing. Recommend book first. Tables go really quickly

Ordered khao soi chicken and drunken noodle. Very special southeast asian food.

Lovely food, very busy. Will definitely go back again soon

We were craving Asian food and found this restaurant on Google. We booked a table on line through their website - you need a reservation there are only 8 tables. We were greeted upon arrival and our table was ready. The food was absolutely amazing and authentic - no wonder they are always busy. The Pad Thai we finished but I have to say the peanut sauce tasted too much like peanut butter and was very sweet. But forgetting that we will definitely be back again

The tastiest Vietnamese food we've ever had! We recommend!

Exquisite food and drink, lovely service and always so attentive

The food here is lovely, lots of choice and I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve tried. I want to love this restaurant, but the service lets the experience down every time. Every visit the same staff member has made us feel somewhat unwelcome - the last time they seemed to be laughing at our order with the chef. They joked about turning customers away who came in looking for a table. It made for a very uncomfortable time in a very small restaurant. Another waiter arrived later on who was lovely, I wished he had been there the whole time! Maybe a little more training is needed?

We have been coming here since it opened. We absolutely love it. The food is amazing and the vibe and staff are equally on par. A party of 6 of us went today to celebrate my son’s 17th birthday. I asked them if they could do something to suitably embarrass him. Well, they surpassed any expectations I had, they presented him with a cake and played happy birthday through the restaurant. It was awesome and a true testament to how much these guys care. Thank you 💃💃

Very nice meal. I had a chicken Thai dish and the broth was just right and tasty. Recommended for sure

Lovely tasty meal, very attentive staff who gave advise on the different dishes. Very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend this to anyone.

Best khao soi I've had outside of Thailand. An incredible find, fully recommend

This place has been recommended by a few people and the reviews we have read are great. We love Asian food and the menu is full of mouth watering sounding dishes so we were really looking forward to going. We finally made it there for a late lunch. We hadn't booked but the waiter found us a table for an hour, which made us think it must be amazing as it was fully booked for the rest of the day. The waiter then took ages to take our order and didn't really seem interested. Another waiter arrived while we were there, and was much more attentive, but wasn't our waiter. In short, the food was delicious, but service pretty lacklustre, the decor/furniture more cafe than restaurant and the prices pretty expensive. Sadly, we can't see why it has such great reviews and won't be coming back.

Highly recommend this place as the foods are so good and prices are affordable 👌 the only thing that they are always full so make sure you call them and make reservation before you show up.

I've been going here for years and it has been consistent with amazing food and great service. There are many vegan and vegetarian options which have always been delicious. I have brought many of my family and friends here and they have all loved it!

First time visiting this evening and I cannot believe we have not been sooner! Fabulous food,friendly and helpful staff and a great selection of drinks. Booking is advisable, only a few mins walk from the market or the town centre.parking is nearby

Great service, extremely well priced and food was mega. Will be returning as lots of dishes we want to try

Lovely authentic food! We recently returned from Vietnam and had to get our fix of the food here as it reminds us of being there. Summer rolls are amazing and all the noodles are lovely.

Lovely asian restaurant, Summer rolls with peanut sauce were especially delicious. We dropped in at the off chance of a table and they accommodated us within 15 minutes. Lovely atmosphere and friendly service would definitely recommend.

Always delicious. I'd highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic little find, we turned up on a sunny afternoon with no reservation. This was no problem, explained we would be off the table for when they needed it. Food is 5* extremely tasty, kids could not get enough. Service was outstanding, will definitely recommend and visit again x

Amazing food. Great service. Will definitely return.

We miss a Khao soi gai, this place does an ace one, also FAB summer rolls. Cool vibes all around!!

Unbelievable authentic food at a super reasonable price. Been here twice with friends and both times everyone has had no complaints. I had summer rolls to start - great portion size, and the satay sauce is delicious. Beef pad see eew for mains (pictured) - also fantastic!

Very fresh and tasty with a detailed vegetarian and vegan selection.

Finally visited here and so glad we did! Vegetable crispy rolls and tofu pad Thai were both very tasty. My partner had chicken wings and the Kar Ko. Friendly staff. Food came out quickly. Definitely try the Asian doughnuts for dessert! Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic food ! Great staff . This restaurant has a really lovely vibe . I’ve been here 3 or 4 times now & will be back again. Highly recommended .

Fantastic pan asian food, great service and really wide menu. Good value as well.

Really was everything we wanted it to be as our regular pho had gone, next time I might be cheeky and ask for some extra noodles, and another slice of pork in the summer rolls. Service was 10/10, a lovely younger female who works weekends

Fabulous place Amazing food Cool!!

Nice food with a great selection.

Great authentic food, staff really friendly

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. I really enjoyed the all the food we had. I will definitely return to try more of the menu. The drunken noodles were excellent as was the summer rolls and Boc Loc Lac was my favourite dish. I can’t wait to try the bhan mi.

The Mekong Cat is honestly amazing, their food is brilliant and refreshing, both in the sense of being refreshing, but also in giving authentic Vietnamese and south Asian food. If you are considering going, you definitely should!

Foods amazing and great vegan selection ! Really generous portions too

What a fabulous hidden gem. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. Will definitely be going back.

🎵 Wonderful wonderful wonderful plaaace 🎵

Love this place! Easy to book a table via their website. Good food, I'm going to make it our usual.

What a find! Great tasty food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Noodle soup stocks are full of flavour, and the garlic chicken wings are superb. Nice cold beers and Soju are available and reasonably priced.

Absolutely delicious and friendly staff great atmosphere, the food is outstanding will highly recommended. 11-10 Stocky Bloke

Great Southern Asian food. The place and the service are great

Hands down the best Thai food I’ve ever had! Full vegan menu, quick service, so flavorful and filling. I may have to move to Stockport!!!

Thought it would be pretty quiet at 14:30 on a Saturday, only one table for two remaining and they said they needed it in an hour. Service was impeccable, the food flew out and was so so tasty. Will definitely be revisiting with friends and family but will try and book ahead in advance. Such a lovely place!

After spending a considerable amount of time travelling around Asia it was pleasant to try somewhere with familiar foods and good quality. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere was really good. Small restaurant but this adds to the charm. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area who likes Cambodian or thai food (they also serve Laos and Vietnamese style dishes).

Staff are friendly and polite. Food was delicious and it's well priced. Will definitely go again

Everything you’ve heard is true, just book and enjoy!

Yum yum, the managed to squeeze us in last minute what a treat got to practice my chopstick skills and have a few tasty drinks to accompany the nice food. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly got the vibe that they liked being there too. I would totally re visit here as it was spot on, sweet little venue and good grub :)

Went here as heard good things, i was not disappointed. Fantastic dishes from Asia, trying new things is always interesting. Starters were nice, currys and pho’s were exceptional and the donuts for desert we a real treat. Will 100% be returning very soon. Booking ahead is essential

Great food, very aromatic, good sized portions. Service good and you can see the food being cooked in the open kitchen. Quite a small place, which gets busy, so booking required.

Absolutely fantastic food, great service and a really reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this place.

This is fabulous. You must try it! Excellent food and hosts. So tasty! Great background music 😻

Food was awesome. The only problem was I couldn’t try all the things I fancied as there is so much choice and so many lovely sounding things. LOVED the food I had tonight and can’t wait to go back.

Really great place to eat. Lovely friendly staff. Quick service and lovely, lovely food. Will go again.

Brilliant food, authentic to the region, with a great selection across the different countries. Too many things you will want to try, I've included an obligatory photo of one thing we had. Also nice to have a Hanoi beer outside of Hanoi

Very authentic, amazing tasting southeast Asian food! Friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere with lots of personal touches. Well portioned food and lots of free condiments. The pad Thai and the khao sai was too good!

Amazing food and great service!

We visited the Mekong Cat today for lunch for the first time. The food was out of this world, amazing authentic flavours which I can't wait to try again. Pricing was good around £11/£12 for a main which is extremely filling. The restaurant is small so you need to book but it's very homely and I will definitely be visiting again. Also service was very good welcoming and professional.

Shut at 9pm when the opening times on the poster say open till 10

Amazing food, good value and great service. Will definitely return.

Oh my! The food was so good. The place itself is very standard but my goodness, the food is next level. Definitely book to guarantee a seat here. I'll definitely be returning. Oh and they sell alcohol too..... bonus xx

Absolutely amazing food and fantastic prices. Proud it's in Stockport. Will be back ASAP to try every I didn't have tonight!

Tranquil setting with Fantastic food, service and staff. Food made its way to our table really quickly. I definitely recommend.

Fantastic little restaurant in Stockport. Plenty of options for all palettes and everything was seasoned very well. Tasted very fresh and a bonus is the chicken is halal. Would highly recommend!

Really love their sister restaurant in Marple so decided to try Mekong Cat and was not disappointed at all! The combo Lao style pho had such a rich flavour and the beef was so tender. We all enjoyed our food and will 100% be back.

Popped on last minute and they were so accommodating and served great food! A real find.

Fantastic little find - food was amazing and great service too! Will definitely be back 🥰
