We hit Mekhong Thai early on a Saturday night, and had the place to ourselves for most of the meal. The clean, ornately decorated interior of this restaurant is a nice contrast from Forest Avenue. Our waiter served us complimentary crispy fried wontons with a spicy dipping sauce to snack on while we mulled over the menu, which has all the usual Thai favorites, as well as lunch specials and take-out options. Our choices were the pad thai and the stir-fried vegetables with garlic sauce, set off nicely by Sapporo beer. The pad thai was delicious, with perfectly cooked noodles, crunchy sprouts, large chunks of chicken, and big, tender shrimp. The stir-fry was excellent, as well, flavorful and fresh. Prices were low to moderate, with our choices in the $8 to $10 range, but the portion sizes were extremely large, and I could easily have made two meals out of either dish. Overall, a very good family dining or take-out option.
