A clever recreation of Southeast Asian fusion; a destination on Ponsonby Road.

Recreating the mood and experience of this magnificent time and place, Mekong Baby is designed with unique roughened floors, crudely painted walls with the interior simple, yet elegant. Nostalgic prints of life in Vietnam cover the walls, highlighted with the glow from the mood lighting, centred around the marble bar.

Venture into a world of stunning food, drinks and service.

We had a set menu for a large group. The food kept coming & it was delicious!

It’s Asian fusion - but the best of the menu is definitely Malay. Grab a nasi goreng and go for your life.

Incredible food options and great service! Perfect for a group night out.

Mekong Baby is a treat for your tastebuds! The vibe in the restaurant is bustling and exciting, it is always busy and there's people enjoying food and wine all over the place. The best way to enjoy Mekong Baby is by sharing the plates with your companions, this way you get a little taste of everything. The food is delicate and extremely tasty, the service is fast and the meals are plated beautifully. I recommend a glass of wine to accompany the pork belly!

I recommend the Houseboat Slipper as the best cocktail on the menu!! Definitley give it a go. The guys behind the bar are so hilarious and all seem to come from a different part of the world making your experience that much more exciting!

WOW! this place is glamorous and also feisty. The best deal is the "say feed me" which costs 60.00. Chefs in the kitchen keep a generous flow coming. We were so full, we almost couldn't eat the dessert, deep smooth chocolate mousse with coconut sago on the side. Flavors are SO vibrant and the service is pretty vibrant too! The cocktails are also worth the splurge.

I like the atmosphere and I like the tapas style food. I would recommend the salt n pepper squid.

On a nippy winters night I popped into Mekong so that I could avoid the stack of dishes in the kitchen. I can now officially say that this may have been one of the best life decisions I've ever made. The pork belly was a melt in your mouth, South East Asian, flavour explosion, the cocktails were unique but super strong and incredibly tasty. I live next door, so after this experience I'll be back soon!

My favorite restaurant! Have been here so many times with lots of different types and amount of people and its always amazing!!

I've never had a Mekong Baby experience until today and if you want to talk about goat curry goodness - this is the place to go. I love Asian fusion, it's my favourite way to dine. And what's cool about this awesome Ponsonby local is that it consistently delivers up some of the tastiest meals on the strip. The interior is also as funky and fresh as the papaya salad they serve. Loving it!

Yummy!
