Mekong-Thai-Kuche - Werden

I was in Frankfurt about days ago, and Thai restaurants were all over the place. Essen, by contrast, hasn\'t discovered Thai. Mekong is Essen\'s only true Thai restaurant, even though the cook, according to the nice English-speaking German owner, is Laotian! Mekong has all...the standard dishes, nothing really out of the ordinary. I had simple vegie spring rolls which were quite good, and then some good but not exceptional green curry chicken which the English-speaking waitress assured me would be Asian spicy but it wasn\'t. It was spicy for Germans, maybe a bit more than they\'re used to. Anyhow, I enjoyed my meal. Nice, old-fashioned room, with space between tables. I got there early and wasn\'t the first to arrive, more arriving shortly after me. I would have thought that by it would have been full.

The food is normal, the quality is good, the amount better, but the furniture is old fashioned. The place was rather empty and I wouldn\'t have entered, if my hotel receptionist had not mentioned this restaurant. (Although she also mentioned an all-you-can-eat restaurant nearby.. At...the end happy to pay, but as usual they didn\'t accept cards for payments below euro, despite the fact it was nowhere mentioned. Many other restaurants that perform better!

This is one of those local places that serve amazing, and first and foremost real spicy Thai food. The girl serving food always appears a bit lost in space, but the green papaya salad and the tom kha gai and the fried glass noodle...are worth it. The decor is beautifully done, very authentic for a neighbourhood Thai. This restaurant is always busy, so make sure you book a table!
