We have been to Mekong Neua heaps of times over the past three years. In our view it is the best Thai in Auckland – and definitely the best Lao food we have had outside of Laos.
The service is warm, and they treat all customers like regulars. The staff really are superb.
We would recommend to anyone!

My first time there with friends and it was an awesome experience! Service was 100% and the food was absolutely wonderful. Generous servings and the rice just kept coming. One thing though, the flies hanging around our table were annoying!! Other than that, very good!!

I love this place. Great food and waiters that will flirt with anything that moves. It can get a bit noisy when it’s full.

We are now regulars at Mekong Neua, and very much enjoy the food and atmosphere.
Service there is unobtrusive, and there is always a friendly face at the desk asking how we enjoyed our meals.
Our favourites are the Red Duck Curry and the Vegetable Sam Ros. We tried the Thai Fried Rice for the first time last weekend too, yum!
Whenever we have been seated somewhere we aren’t happy with, it has never been a problem for us to move to another available table of our choice.

Food was great, atmosphere was great, and the service was great. Sometimes the customer is just impossible. I will definetly be back, I have found my favorite Thai restaurant. Even with bad service I think I would still come back for the great food.

Been here several times and my experiences varied from very good or bad. Cosy and a romantic place to dine out. The food is no doubt one of the best cuisines in Auckland at times but the staff sometimes can ruin the evening with their utter rudeness.
Had dinner there last week and my main was not as I expected; it just seem to lack flavour and blonked on the plate. I have had better there and the waitress in training was extremely polite.

Excellent food that comes in generous portions.
Great atmosphere, with overtly camp waiters that add to the authentic Thai/Lao experience.
Definitely recommended for a good night… if you’re after a quiet meal for two, stay at home…

This was our 5th and last time at Mekong Neua, the food was good but a waitress was very rude to the degree that we almost walked out. There are plenty of other Thai Restaurants to choose from so we won’t be back.

Excellent food, but extremely rude and poor service. We were asked to sit next to the toilets and had a waitress barge in between us having a conversation to check out table number. We ordered pina colada and the listing was not in the menu, when we asked how much they were- the waiter brought the entire sign post from the road to show us the price. Since it was Valentines Day, there were limited seating, unfortunately the sitting crew literally asked us if we were not happy with where we were seated then they were happy for us to leave. They refused to cater the entire menu for Vegetarian option- instead they only had Green Curry as a “curry” option.

I wish to point out some misleading comments in this review.Firstly we do not have any tables next to the toilets.This person was sitting at a table near the stairway that leads to the toilets.Our toilets are downstairs and we would never position a table next to…

Good, sturdy Thai cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere. Two of our group of four were vegetarian and found out the hard way that the Combo Platter is all meat, but the menu has an adequate vegetarian section so the mistake was entirely their fault. The service was also good, and the overall price was reasonable, no doubt partly because it’s a BYO restaurant.

I’ve been here a few times and it’s always been great food and great service. I reckon the best time to would be late in the week perhaps on a Thursday night, when it’s busy but not crazy busy. Saturday’s would have to be the busiest time so reservations are necessary if you want a table. The food here is delicious! Generous portions! Great Prices!

Always a fantastic restaurant and BYO. Try the fresh spring rolls from the specials board, always a hit!

Mekong Neua has been around a while and the cozy atmosphere still remains. The service was quick and friendly and the food did not disappoint – the seafood curry was heavenly! Even though the table we were sitting at was parallel to an entranceway, it didn’t detract from the relaxed vibe in which all the patrons seemed to be having a good time.
