Mekong Grill

Kimmy has been feeling kinda sick with a cold the past few days, so she wanted some pho for lunch today. We were in Cypress and needed to go to the grocery store, so we decided to go to Mekong Grill on Barker Cypress (just south of 290, in front of the Stone Gate neighborhood) since HEB is right there too. It's a pretty good place for Vietnamese food by Cypress standards at least. The prices are a little higher than most other places in other areas of town, but the bowls are huge and if you're in Cypress you don't have to drive far.

Anyway, Kimmy got a bowl of pho, the usual beef soup with noodles, and I ordered bun bo hue, which is a little different, with spicy broth and bigger noodles. Both of them were pretty good, larger bowl than either of us could eat though. I ordered some egg rolls too, but they aren't too great there.

The interesting thing about this place is that there are always different people working there. We think the owners decided to hire a few of their neighbors or something. The inside of Mekong Grill is decorated with the leftover decor from an Italian restaurant that used to occupy the building. Garden scene painted on the walls, faux finish bricks-peeking-out-from-under-cracked-plaster and everything.
