The Mekong Cat in Stockport

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!

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

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.

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 🥰

Great Asian food in Stockport - predominantly Thai / Vietnamese. Small and intimate - booking recommended.

A quaint little restaurant that feels really personable and comforting due to it's smaller size, only seats about 9 four person tables. The service is speedy and the food is cheap but incredibly tasty. Would highly recommend.

My 15 year old son's first visit and he loved it. Only marking the atmosphere down as we arrived before opening and only went in because another group walked in while we were waiting outside

I try and go there every time I'm in Stockport. Delicious and authentic

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.

A taste of authentic southeast aisian food in stockport. A gem

The food here is just outstanding

Average food. Very cold in restaurant and don’t expect plastic glasses with a meal! More like a cafe than a restaurant . No full bottles of wine just 1/4 bottles. Very odd.

First time here. Lovely food and great service. Will definitely come again next time we're in Stockport.

Three of us visited for the first. Good choice of food and drink. All very reasonable priced. Good service. The food was delicious. The only let down was the temperature inside the restaurant, it was cold. I will return to sample more dishes from the menu.

A bit small and chilly but lovely food

Lovely tasty lunch, quick and efficient service. We'll worth a visit.

Been many times and always excellent food and service. Great choices for veggie and vegan too.

Absolutely brilliant experience again here Exceptional service and even better food Also found found out that they do take away which is a great bonus as we are only a ten minute drive away Tried the Hanoi lager which was also very nice Very reasonably priced too Highly recommended 👍

Everything about this place is top notch! Heaven in a bowl.

Delishous food. It felt like medicine for the soul and tummy. Highly recommended

Simply the best pho I'd ever ate in Manchester, I ate pho in the street of Hanoi, Vietnam many years ago for USD1.00 and the taste was amazingly good and believe me I'm from Hong Kong, the only city in Asia you can taste any cutting edge Asian dishes at very nice quality at very good price, The Mekong Cat really surprised me. Thanks for my wife randomly searched this restaurant during our day trip from Manchester! My wife & The Mekong Cat made my day! Sorry no picture!

Excellent food and service, make sure you book to avoid walk-in disappointment!

Probably really nice! The food looked amazing but not actually our "cup of tea" we love Chinese and Thai but this was different! Properly read the menu and you will probably enjoy it but not for is!

We finally got around to visiting The Mekong Cat after hearing lots of positive feedback from people. We’re so glad we did! Authentic setting, great selection on the menu, friendly staff and DELICIOUS food. We ordered a selection of starters and individual main courses - all were super tasty. The Mekong Cat comes highly recommended by us. We’ll be back soon!

So finally we managed to try it after few attempts when they were closed. The staff were really friendly and we managed to get a table without making a booking what was really surprising. I like the deco, positive vibe and food was really nice too so we already booked table for our next visit. Thank you for opening such a lovely place in Stockport with so many vegan options :)

It was my first time here, but I will be back. Great, authentic food. Reasonable prices. I would recommend booking, even for lunch.

The food was excellent, the service was good, the room could do with a lick of paint, although that did not effect the taste of the food.

Very tasty and healthy Asian cuisine. Attentive staff and lovely setting.

Went with friends for our Christmas get together. I’d been wanting to go to this place ages but it’s not easy to book a table as there’s only 30 or so covers. The starters were great, the highlight being the chicken wings (both Angkor and Mekong). My house special pho was very tasty and the drunken noodles looked superb. It is a small cafe and it did get cold when the door was opened. Wine is limited to 1/4 bottles of 3/4 different reds (and presumably whites as well) but if you’re not too fussed about that then this is worth a visit

The place was freezing , we ate our food with coats and scarves on ! The food was good but the waiter cleared the starters whilst one person was still eating, then to compound the matter brought just one of the main courses out , the other three mains arrived about 20 minutes later - consequently the first person ate his food on his own ! Been here twice for lunch previously but will probably never return after tonight’s experience.

Utter perfection. The young man running front of house was so lovely, and gave brilliant recommendations, and the food was so delicious. Definitely try the pudding!

Food was delicious, service excellent would highly recommend. Only downside was it was cold in there and we had to keep our coats on but food is outstanding

Absolutely amazing, flavourful food, lovely staff

Absolutely wonderful food and service, very quaint and lovely. Definitely book ahead as they are busy, and rightfully so, the food was divine. We also had dessert, fried doughnuts with condensed milk, and I am still thinking about how delicious it was..

Randomly stumbled into this place today as my wife and I were looking for some Asian food. We shared a Khao Soi Chicken dish and a Kar Ko with rice dish between us and it was absolutely tremendous. We lived in Asia for 20 years and can honestly say the food quality at Mekong Cat is very authentic compared to our experience overseas. We WILL be going back to try the rest of their dishes. You may have to book though, as it got really busy while we were there. Well done to The Mekong Cat team for such a great food experience.

Delicious food, wonderful service, and more than reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning. Thank you!

Lovely little gem! Huge vegan menu & standard with lovely staff! I had the summer rolls, the sauce they came with should be bottled and sold it was incredible!

The owners are lovely but the food, wow! I got the vegan curry noodles last time which are heaven but I have eaten all of the veggie mains and they are all incredible. You must try it! The crispy cauliflower is the best thing on the menu

Great service and great food. Very good selection of dishes, they have a dedicated vegan section with plenty of options. We were recommended by friends and were not disappointed. The prices are also very reasonable. The only downside was that there was no dessert menu. Take a walk down the underbank after and there are plenty of bars to choose from.

Amazing food and great service, as usual!

Love this place. Great food, quick service and friendly staff. Also a huge stand-alone vegan menu!

Great food every time relaxed atmosphere lovely staff would recommend but book

Been looking forward to trying this place for a while, but the food turned out to be a bit disappointing. Had a broth containing sliced braised beef - was expecting home cooked beef, but it appeared to be the kind of tasteless grey sliced cooked beef that you buy pre-packed in any supermarket. The rest of the food was fine, but a bit underwhelming. The dessert - some kind of fried dough sticks with condensed milk dip - was pretty fabulous though. And the service was super.

Love this place! Great food and great staff x

Wonderful food and great service, so great to have a place like this in the area!

What a gem, we have eaten here several times (when we can get a table). Great food, lovely people. I am sure they will prosper with a larger place though I hope they do not lose their food ethic and simplicity. Please go and enjoy.

First visit today to this Stockport treasure. Food you can't really find anywhere locally and it did not disappoint. The bean sauce with the summer rolls really complimented the flavour. Will definitely be back soon, can see why they're so busy!

Absolutely delicious food, served by really friendly staff in a really buzzing and cosy little restaurant. Great value for money as well. We really recommend booking in advance as it gets busy! Enjoy! :)

Second visit here in last few months and again it was delicious and the service was excellent. Thank you 😃

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

Great food, great service. Favourite spot to eat in Stockport center.

I'm a very endurable evening. Make sure you book does it gets booked up pretty quickly

Food is insane. Go and eat their food. You will not regret it.

We were there for the first time with my girlfriend, the food was delicious and seasoned as we like Asian food. We enjoyed it and will definitely come again. The service was friendly and accommodating, we arrived without a reservation and everything was taken, so I recommend booking a table in front.

Well worth a visit, the menu is reasonably priced, the vegan options are great, place is lovely. Try it

The best SE Asian restaurant in Stockport. I've never had a disappointing meal here. Pho is rich and spicy.

Incredible experience, will be back!

In the 70s in communists ruled Poland was made film called Teddy Bear (miś in original.) There's famous scene where one of many characters go to very popular milk bars. Place where food was really cheap and cheaply made. Service was rude and you ate on... Well have a look for yourself on YT - bar mleczny MIS. Metal plate screwwfo table and before our character was able to eat that plate was secured with a screwdriver to the table. And today i felt just like in that scene. When i was served by cheeky (in not very nice way) young person that slammed mug in which chopsticks and forks and napkins where stored. Thought its just my face but every one was served like that. Like that young person was doing life sentence here by serving customers. And before you say anything... I often order in takeaways and im served by young people. And im treated with more respect that i had today. No questions gentleman whom took our order was polite, had a time to chat with customer and explain differences in meals. And meals? Lao style Pho. I want to learn how they do broth in Vietnam. This was amazing. Simple broth with rice noodles and nice chunks of rice noodles. And you can choose from many different types of meat. And how such meat is prepared. Im also happy tlwe where able to get table. This place is popular. For food that is, not for a service from angy kid who probably planned to play on console rather than help / earn some pocket money. When it comes to pay you have option to give a tip. My advice don't. Let the kid learn some manners first. Ao you don't have deja vu feeling of being in 70 comedy. 4 stars because of such service.

Everything is good, I cannot say impressive but very good.

Always fabulous food at a reasonable price, the menu has grown but the quality remains.

Really good food and friendly staff. The meals are reasonably priced and the service was fairly quick. Will definitely be going back.

Great menu and lovely staff. Lots of choice for veggies and vegans. Definitely recommend 👌

Had lunch here. The food and flavour was wonderful! Good price too!

Amazing Vietnamese food. Every dish was bursting with flavour. The place looks like a cafe but has a homely feel. Service was good and friendly staff. Make sure you book as this place is getting very popular.

Very tasty south Asian food. Tried the Cambodian Pho and the Lao Pho both were excellent. Crispy veggie rolls were also a great starter. Would be nice if they came in fours. Staff were friendly and squeezed us in on a packed Saturday night.

Great food - especially the mains. Will return.

Great service, absolutely stunning food, beautiful background tunes.. What more could you want? We popped in for lunch, luckily we didn’t need a reservation. We had the sriracha cauliflower, crispy squid and a salad. Dishes arrived quickly and were tasty, fresh and delicious. I was so grateful that when the window table became free before we ordered, our host suggested we moved in to the prime spot. Nothing was too much trouble, it was hassle-free treat of a lunch. This place offers hospitality at its best. We were so grateful.

Mekong Cat offers a delightful dining experience with a taste of Cambodia. The food here is consistently of high quality, and the dishes are delicious. The restaurant excels in presenting a menu that showcases the vibrant flavours and diverse ingredients found in Khmer cuisine. The staff at Mekong Cat are pleasant and attentive, providing excellent service throughout the dining experience. They are always eager to offer recommendations and ensure that guests have an enjoyable meal. As someone who has visited Cambodia frequently, I must note that the restaurant's offerings are not entirely authentic Khmer cuisine. The dishes are somewhat adjusted to suit local preferences, and while I understand the reasons for doing so, I do miss the distinct taste of genuine Cambodian food. That being said, I acknowledge that authentic Khmer flavours might not appeal to everyone, especially those unfamiliar with the cuisine. In this sense, Mekong Cat strikes a balance by offering dishes that are accessible to a broader audience while still retaining some elements of Cambodian culinary traditions. Overall, Mekong Cat is a great restaurant that offers a taste of Cambodia, albeit with some adjustments to cater to local tastes. If you're looking for delicious food and friendly service in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Mekong Cat is a solid choice. High-quality, delicious food, and friendly staff. Not entirely authentic Cambodian cuisine, but a good balance for local tastes.

Very nice food and restaurant. One of the hidden gems of Stockport, which is the new Berlin by the way.

Very tasty food. Fantastic selection of Soju flavours. We had all of them! 🙈

Been here a fair few times now and it’s always great! I would recommend booking in advance though. Great veggie options and lovely staff<3

Dropped in on a busy Sunday lunchtime and they squeezed me in for a quick lunch between bookings. Terrific food from a dedicated vegan menu and a Vietnamese beer for £20 including tip. Great stuff.
