Mekong - South East Asian Kitchen + Bar

We tried something new and we liked it. We arrived a little after 4pm so there was a special menu before dinner. It was ok because it had everything that we liked. Everything that we had was flavorful and we really liked it. The Roti with the curry sauce was my favorite! I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture. We ended up ordering another one. The pad see ew and the wings were also delicious. I definitely think it’s a must try! We can’t wait to come back.

Mekong is a hidden gem in Creekside Village. Relatively new on the Whistler dining scene, it's a unique option you should definitely check out when visiting Whistler. Walking distance from any of the Creekside accommodation options and just a short drive from Whistler Village with lots of free parking available. Also easily accessible by bus from anywhere in Whistler if you don't have a car or prefer not to drive. And, if you are on the mountain, you can ski down to the Creekside base and take the short stroll down to the restaurant for lunch or après. We have dined here before. However, we had not tried many of the dishes on their new winter menu, so we asked for recommendations, which were happily provided. We were very pleased with all the dishes we ordered, sharing several starters, a main dish, and a dessert. Our favourites were the scallop crudo and crispy sea bass as well as the green curry pacific halibut. And, the coconut panna cotta was a delightful, refreshing, light finish to our meal. If you're looking to get out of Whistler Village for a deliciously different dinner in an approachably upscale yet casual, intimate location, then check out Mekong!

1st time eating at Mekong. For reference I've been married to a Thai lady for 22 years. The restaurant is gorgeous and the service was excellent. Although there was a very, very drunk guy(couple) that seemed affiliated with the restaurant or a very regular walking all around the restaurant. I would probably not allow that to happen if I owned the place. Just a bad look. He clearly knew everyone on staff so I think a bit of reigning him in by whoever was in charge should have been appropriate. Like I said, just a really bad look. Food... I did the Price Fixe Menu Tom Yum Chicken wings.....extremely salty but with the sauce it did taste like "Thailand" I got what they were trying to do although weren't my favorite. Grilled Shrimp Lettuce Wraps......were fantastic. I could have eaten 10 more and if on the regular menu, I highly suggest ordering them Chicken Cashew Nut......I do hate to give a review this bad but it was just awful. No other way to decribe it. It really was like mall chinese sweet and sour. Fried chicken doused in way too sweet sauce. Crispy Lager Beer.....normally wouldn't rate a beer. I was disappointed they were out of Thai beer(not good for a Thai restaurant) I really don't want to drink a craft beer with Thai food. So I ordered the Crispy Lager and I have to say it was excellent! I may give it a 2nd chance because the restaurant is beautiful and the service really was very good. And try some other dishes on the main menu but that Cashew Chicken really wasn't good, by any standard.

Best restaurant in Whistler!!! Everything was packed with flavour, and there was a nice variety of options. They have an entire separate vegetarian menu which was fantastic! Cocktails were delicious too - definitely don’t skip having one. The whole experience was exceptional. Can’t wait to come back!

The food and the cocktails are exquisite. The appetiser and salads are in my favourite sections. The muscles and sticky ribs were so flavourful. The menu does change so don't be disappointed of something I've listed isn't there. Just means to find new favourites

I’ve been a regular at this restaurant for quite some time, but unfortunately, my recent visit will likely be my last. I ordered the crab dish, which I had never tried before, and was very disappointed by the way it was presented. I wasn’t informed that it would come as a whole crab, requiring me to get quite messy and spend more time and effort than expected to extract the meat. It’s not an issue if it’s properly communicated, but I was caught off guard. To make matters worse, the crab was extremely salty and, frankly, not enjoyable. When I asked if they could assist in extracting the meat or at least explain how to handle it, I was met with a dismissive response, and they refused to help. The staff even mocked my request, which was both unprofessional and disrespectful. I was also shocked when they informed me that such help would come at a much higher price, without any prior explanation that the dish could lead to additional charges. Moreover, the crab was vastly overpriced for what was served. Over the past few visits, there have been a series of small issues, but this last experience was the final straw. It’s disappointing, as I’ve always been a local supporter, but it’s clear that the level of service and professionalism has been declining. I regret to say that I won’t be returning, and I hope this feedback helps them improve for future customers.

This was by far the worst dining experience I’ve ever had in Whistler! Although the food was good, the service was absolutely terrible! The server not only delivered the wrong dish but also blamed us for the mistake without verifying first. They even tried to force us to accept the wrong order. Only after we insisted did the server check their order list and confirm that it was indeed their mistake. When it came to billing, the same server made errors on two separate bills: one included an extra bowl of rice, and the other had an extra drink charged. The server promised to correct these mistakes, but the amounts remained wrong at checkout. After pointing it out again, the server took the receipts and assured us it would be fixed. However, when they returned, there were no receipts provided, and they simply placed the card machine in front of me as if everything had been resolved. After completing the payment, I received a bank notification and realized the amount was still incorrect—I had still been overcharged for the drink. The initial handling of this issue by the staff was unprofessional and lacked any sense of urgency. Later, the manager promised a system refund that would be processed within ten days. Yet, even after 17 days, I still hadn’t received the refund. Throughout this period, I had to take the initiative to follow up multiple times, which was incredibly frustrating. The entire experience left such a bad impression on me. I will never dine at this restaurant again!

Mekong is exactly what Whistler needed! We dined family style and there were too many favourite dishes to name, from the roti, chicken wings, beautiful soft shell crab papaya salad, and mussels to start, to unique noodle dishes, and an absolutely to-die-for crispy pork belly main dish, we loved all of the flavours. The atmosphere itself is vibrant, with beautiful high ceilings, thoughtful design, a gorgeous patio, and an upscale yet casual vibe. From the service, to the quality of food, to the creative and authentically Thai cocktails/mocktails, this spot definitely takes Creekside up a notch. 11/10 would recommend.
