From the banks of the Mekong to Essen-Holsterhausen
Welcome to the Mekong Thai Restaurant in Essen-Holsterhausen. Since 2008 we have been inviting you to discover the true food culture of Thailand and Laos. Our mission is to introduce you to authentic Thai cuisine and take you on a culinary journey.
The Mekong Thai Restaurant is run by two married couples who have spent a large part of their lives in Thailand. Their fascination with the rich culture and diverse flavors of Thailand inspired them to bring these culinary treasures to Germany. Together with two exceptional Thai chefs, they founded the Mekong Thai Restaurant to share their passion for authentic food.
Their journey began over 16 years ago and since then they have been known for their dedication to quality and authenticity. They take great pride in the enthusiasm of their guests, who often travel long distances to enjoy their dishes. Their food, prepared with fresh ingredients and traditional recipes, offers a taste experience reminiscent of the bustling markets and tranquil river banks of Thailand and Laos.
A passion for Thai and Laotian food
In our house, every guest is considered part of the family. We warmly invite you to immerse yourself in the captivating culture, history and everyday life of Thailand. Our food is more than just food - it is a reflection of our devotion to Thai and Lao cuisine and culture.
We do not serve greasy, carelessly prepared food, as is often the case in cheap Asian snack bars. If you are looking for cheap and oily Asian noodles and heavy peanut sauces, you will NOT find them here. We also do not serve "chicken nuggets" like some other Thai restaurants offer, which is shameful... We leave that to others. Instead, we serve you authentic premium food from Thailand, preciously prepared specialties full of flavor, from outstanding Thai chefs, directly from the heart of Thailand to you, here in Essen-Holsterhausen.
We only use high-quality ingredients to bring you the real taste of Thailand. Our kitchen opens a window to the soul of Thailand, where every dish is created with passion.
Immerse yourself in the world of the Mekong Thai Restaurant
At Mekong Thai Restaurant, authenticity, quality and a family feel are of utmost importance. Our chefs use only fresh ingredients and import original products directly from Thailand and Laos. Our wish is to make you feel at home and experience the true meaning of the warm Thai greetings "Sabaidee" and "Sawasdee", which are much more than a simple "Hello".
Let yourself be enchanted by the aromas and flavors of Thailand and Laos, enjoy our hospitality and the culinary traditions of Southeast Asia. We are committed to Thai and Laotian cuisine and also offer exclusive Thai dishes that you can only find here. We take this claim very seriously. That's why we only serve the best of Thailand, including the famous street food culture, which is appreciated worldwide for its quality and which we bring to its peak here.
Every bite tells a story of tradition, care and passion. Therefore, our sophisticated dishes can sometimes take a little more time to prepare, but this is rewarded with a unique and special taste experience.
