Mekong Plaza has expanded! There is additional parking, which is much needed, on the south side of the lot. It's crowded here especially on the weekends. Give yourself extra time if you're coming here. Parking is scarce at times and you may have to circle around two or three times. I walked over to the south side of the plaza. New stores including one ice cream place that was mobbed. It was interesting to see what was being offered with more coming soon, read more

I like coming here. It's a foodies paradise, with so many good places to eat. I haven't tried them all, but they're on my list ;) I especially like the Sizzling House, Happy Baos, and Thai Spices. There is a big grocery store that stocks lots of Asian groceries, fresh meat and fish, and fresh fruits and veggies. There are also some barber and beauty shops, gift stores, a food court, a cosmetic store, and jewelry store. I always find something cool here--today is was a little Hangyodon (I love him!) change purse. read more

Mekong Palace is a one-stop hub in Mesa for Asian businesses that includes a supermarket, dine-in restaurants, food court, gift shops and other services. They have a nice selection of Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino and Taiwanese restaurants all under one roof. I live near the Asian district and like to stop by here from time-to-time. I have dined at Happy Baos, Tasty Pot, Tea Snow, Sizzling House and a couple places in the food court area in the past. Mekong Plaza hosts occasional events like Chinese New Year and food festivals. A huge expansion recently took place that will add more businesses. read more

This is our go to Asian market for all our Asian fixes. They have the freshest fruits and their sea food section is great. They have good variety and fresh fishes. The place is well organized and has good naming convention. We have tried their mangoes, the best in the valley. Pricing is good too. There are many stores around the plaza, which is worth a try! read more

It was first time here and I was really impressed with the selection of fruits. The jackfruit was bought here was a large chunk that we paid $19 for. It was enough to fill a large salad bowl full and was the best tasting jackfruit we've had in the US.it was very busy with lots of people. We went on a Saturday afternoon. read more

I love bringing out of town family and friends here! The variety of Asian restaurants, grocery store, boba, tea, gift shops and even a Korean beauty store- all in one plaza. There are always new restaurants popping up here. Give yourself a few hours to "get lost" and find your new favorite place! I love Sizzling Ramen, Happy Nap's as well as Propolis Beauty. Don't forget to stop at the supermarket for fresh produce and the best selection of chili oils! read more

This is our first time wandering through Mekong Plaza. came here for dinner. Had a 20 minute wait so we wandered around definitely want to come back and check out the marketplace and see how it compares with other Asian market that we frequent. read more

I just love going here because it's a different feeling! The decor is cute and welcoming! I like that it's an indoor mall with restuarants and stores inside, as well as, Balboa tea spots. I usually go to walk around and stop at Bo for dumplings. Recommend going here even if just to browse just to get out of the house. While you're there, order food to go, as they have several restaurants in and outside of the strip mall at this location. read more

Super cool Asia bizarre. It's in an old mall which as an 80's kid I find funny. Brings back memories. Lots of great food choices. Restaurants. A food court area. A grocery store that is stocked and amazing. A coupon Asian shops with things I have no clue about but I saw Buddha, incense, clothes. I will be back for sure. read more

Mekong Plaza - entrance to mekong plaza - Imported Food Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Mekong plaza is one of my favorite Asian markets. They have a lot of choices in the store. They also offer fried fish at the counter, which not other markets do anymore. I also love their food court and all the shops outside of the market. read more

They have a dim sum place in the plaza. Lots of people go and I bring my friends. There are many other shops there. This location is similar to the Lee Lee store area in the Mesa or Chandler area. There is another similar place near 99 ranch in Phoenix, though I am not sure if 99 ranch is still in that plaza. The place can get hectic and crowded. Make sure to stay away during the lunar New year unless there is something you have to buy from there. The parking lot is jammed at that time. I get scared my car will get hit it is so crowded. The inside of the plaza itself smells maybe like fish. It is hard for me to say because there are so many restaurants around and the main supermarket that sells a variety of different things. I have went to unphogettable, the tea shop tea avenue, and the dim sum restaurant Mekong palace. read more

Not the cleanest supermarket. I'd rather go to International Market. Much more reasonable prices than in Mekong. Not to mention their parking lot is always full. read more

Met a friend here for lunch so decided to eat at the food court. I ordered from a viet place and she ordered from Filipino place. I ordered the bun ga nuong which was chicken, veggies and vermicelli. My meal was ok. Nothing special for $15. Hers was good she said (pork belly and veggies) but overall would try others since wasn't anything out of this world. The 3 stars was mostly for the supermarket which has a lot of good produce and meat. read more

The first time I had been to a plaza like this was in Japantown in San Francisco and I fell immediately in love. This plaza has a lot of Chinese stores, Vietnamese stores, and Thai stores! Including import stores, restaurants, a Taiwanese bakery, a travel agency and more! It's definitely worth a look! It's appropriately named after the Mekong river which is a trans-border river which touches, China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. read more

It was a far ride, but I enjoyed the food and ambiance Asian store had a lot of stuff

We drove about 40 minutes from Anthem to this place. I wanted to show my boys and experience the asian market culture: food and shops. We love the place. I like the fact that there's a Filipino vendor in the food court, which is a plus for me. read more

I have never in any part of the country visited found such a varied assortment of Asian-unique products, foods and spices - meats, fish, seafood and produce in such a culturally exceptional atmosphere! I would bet that if you want it, and they don't have it, it doesn't exist! This place is humongous, enormous, huge - yet incredibly clean and neat, with fantastic service, nice and helpful staff. You can actually visit to shop for groceries but end up having a meal (they have multiple establishments with varied offerings), getting some gift and nik-nak shopping taken care of, visit a dentist, get some international mailing done, make time for a foot massage or your hair done... and more! This is like visiting a province of multiple Asian cultures all at once. A Foodie paradise, you'll find just about anything under the sun for your cooking needs in one place, amazing. Make plans and time to walk around awhile, you'll be fascinated. read more

They charge me 29.00 dollars for a 12 pack of modelos and I try to return the beer they wouldn't take it back and I never left the store and they said no returns on sigarret and alcohol.... 29 dollars for a 12 pack man read more

Hadn't been in here in a while, and decided to bring my wife on a Sunday excursion. Probably the best variety of tropical fruits and vegetables in the state. If someone knows of better, please let me know. Bought a case of mangoes, tried one, so sweet it made my teeth tingle. Nice fresh half papaya, sugar plums, delicious! Can of lychee fruit, coconut cream, and lots of other goodies. On check out, show your Veterans ID for a discount. We then hit the bakery, which was rather depleted, being Sunday afternoon. Bought a few little cream cakes. Ordered dinner to go from one of the Vietnamese restaurants, then continued browsing. Around the bend found a cool little curio shop and bought a lucky bamboo plant. Found the new food court, looks interesting, but for another day. Bought a grapefruit iced tea, which was delicious and refreshing. Picked up the dinner and called it a day. I highly recommend visiting this place. It feels like a day in an Asian city, but air conditioned. read more

I love visiting Mekong Plaza! This is my go to place to grab asian groceries. There are boba shops and restaurants in the plaza as well. It does get pretty busy on the weekends but go in the mornings to avoid crowds! read more

It's beautiful place and clean!!! I ate cơm tấm Thuận kiều inside plaza!! And go around

Mekong Plaza does not disappoint! When I arrived in Phoenix three years ago, I met Sam M. at Lee Lee's International Supermarket. In our conversation about must-go places, he referred me to Mekong Plaza. However because of distance, I kept putting the visit off. Thank you, Karen W. for bringing me to this fabulous back to Asia experience. The shops, the diverse cultures, wafting smells of street food magically come together at Mekong Plaza. On the outside, I was excited to see a Thai Foot Massage Place. When I walked in, I was greeted with sights, sounds and smells of dim sum (Mekong Palace). We came to eat at Heng's Kitchen, but I was drawn to the Banh Mi shop, there was pho to try, my stomach and eyes were greedy, but I knew I absolutely could not take everything in. Mesa residents, can I express how jealous I am that you have access to such a delicious Mecca? I also saw the Boba tea shop, which I also noticed that Karen W. was sipping on while she waited for me to arrive. Needless to say, I need to plan another trip to Mesa, sooner than later. read more

My wife really likes Mekong. They have a good assortment of items. We also get an Veterans discount on some items. Thank you Mekong! read more

Been here around a dozen times in the past 4 weeks. Get food, boba drinks, and then shop a little

Good Little Asian Mall Complex Conveniently located off Dobson and Apache in Mesa AZ this Mall complex has everything from Thai food to Pho and shaved ice. A packed Asian market also fills a good portion of the mall. Parking can be tricky on the weekends as this place gets packed. read more

Re-edited this review again to omit a review meant for a bakery located inside this plaza. That review is under AA Ozzy Bakery's Yelp page. --- Don't know what happened to my review that went with the photos of pho below- must've accidentally erased it when I clicked on "UPDATE MY REVIEW." Just to rehash... Mom found her shrimp pho just OK-- she ordered pho from another stall on the following visit. I decided to try the duck pho again, as I found the first try to be very tasty! On the second visit though, I asked for the mushrooms to be omitted-- while I LIKE mushrooms, mushrooms don't like me (mushroom allergy). The second bowl was still delicious, but definitely not as great as the first one. No surprise, since mushrooms fall under the umami group (one of the five basic tastes, lending "meaty" and "brothy" flavors). I also noticed more pieces of duck in the second bowl, which would've altered the flavor profile of the second bowl. read more

One of the few Asian shopping centers in the Phoenix metro area. There's an Asian market, various restaurants (Thai, Vietnamese, Boba, Chinese), and a few retail shops. It doesn't have the selection or energy of the Chinatown markets in Vegas, LA, or Orange County. Kind of shocking actually when you consider that there are 3x more people in Phoenix than Vegas. Return Factor - 90% Where else am I going to go for my Asian fix? read more

This is one market that rivals even Lee Lees. Much like it, but cleaner and brighter. Would you like to try some Durian? They have it, both fresh and frozen. Go ahead, take a whiff. I know you want to. A little cramped, but well worth the adventure. read more

Mekong Plaza is home to a great supermarket, and some good Asian restaurants. There are also some shops that sell clothes, a kids store, a dental office, and a realtor to name a few. My favorite place to get food here is the Mekong restaurant in the back next to the food court. read more

They used to be King in the Asian markets. However today experience was terrible. Waited nearly an hour for fish to be Cleaned and Cooked. And NO! It was not busy. What happened to all the regular workers?? Weren't they fast and Efficient??? Or were they let go by the non Asian guy wearing a shirt 2 sizes too small? read more

This is an Asian mall with various outlets, including a Haircut place, Thai restaurant, trinkets/collectibles giftshop, insurance, ice cream, other restaurants as well as an Asian supermarket that's similar to LeeLees in its offering and layout (very smelly like LeeLees, too). There is also a 'Tea, Snow & Coffee' smoothie place which is absolutely worth divine and do be sure to check it out. read more

It's a cool Asian strip mall complete with various restaurants and shops. The Market here is pretty solid. There are many Asian markets around town but this plaza has a market that has a notably large produce and meat market and shops so it's pretty unique for Phoenix. The prices are also good, better than I've seen on the West Valley for veggies and the like. I have only really been to the market and the big restaurant here and I was impressed with both. Also there are tons of Asian restaurants just outside the plaza that I have to try. To be continued... Coming back to get some boba next time and some rolled ice cream in the future :) read more

Woo! An Asian market that contains so much exotic and abundant food it caters to all ethnicities of that of Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Thai and a bit of Japanese. From frozen produce, desserts and seafood. Instant noodles, varieties of sauces, housewares and fresh produce. Mekong Plaza has all your Asian needs. It's a huge shopping market that carries anything Asian related you can think of- mostly. They fry fish in the seafood department and they give 10% off of your total purchase. The lines go quickly, I satisfy my Asian food needs, good prices and discounted. What a deal! read more

i went for DimSum today and this was only my 2nd time here. 1st time was on a weekday sat by the counters and where the food comes out; Service was great. figure today i go for some DimSum instead of going to phoenix palace only 3 miles away. Host sat me along the wall opposite of the kitchen side where there are other rooms along the back wall. Service was lousy, the lady pushing the cart with buns was the only friendly face and she's the only one that helped me. I was waiting for my rice crepe with beef (beef cheung fun) to come aroud and sat there for 20 minutes and never even came around. Saw her come out of the kitchen then she dissappeared. I asked the nice lady that helped me from the beginning for my beef cheung fun and she got it for me. After she got it for me now all of a sudden the lady with the cheung fun cart shows up out of no where and stay in that particular area for a bit and when she went past me didn't even stop, slow down or ask if i wanted anything, lousy service, bad service attitudes except for the 1 lady. then I only got 11 small plates which came out to over $70 I asked the host /cashier how much are the plates and told me $5.50 per plate. Told him I'm never coming back again and for the lousy service it was way too expensive. The host wasn't that friendly niether to begin with. From now on i'm staying with Phoenix Palace in chandler on dobson and warner for my DimSum and Best Hong Kong dining in mesa right on dobson. once again very poor and bad service. management needs to step up to the plate and get themselves trained so they can have a sufficient and well managed staff to serve food. these problems all start from management because all they want is money and don't care about customer service. I'd stay away if your a new customer wanting to check them out but go to phoenix palace instead for better service and better food and prices read more

Lovvve this place!! So many different foods to try. Lots of staff to help. Delicious thai restaurant part of the store. They are super aware of keeping covid safe in the thai restaurant and food is sooo good. Love it read more

TIP: great place to beat the heat and hang out, buy asian groceries, check out the restaurants inside. There's no chinatown in Phoenix, but this plaza is the closest thing to it. The supermarket, and all the stores and restaurants are inside so you don't have to stand out in the heat. The asian theme food court is not as big as the ones you find in san jose or la but it's really better than nothing. one of the stalls even have chinese bbq! read more

Mekong Palace 66 S. Dobson Road Mesa, 85202 Just when I thought I had found one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Phoenix area, I find another one. This is located all the way in the back on the north side of the Mekong Shopping Center, and is worth looking for. Whether you want an inexpensive meal of Dim Sum, or a full banquet, they can accommodate your needs. Most of the Dim Sum are only $2.99, and the variety and quality is wonderful. But the real shining star is the main menu. They have quite a variety of seafood, and fresh is the key word. A lot of it is still swimming in tanks in the main dining room including live sturgeon and spotted prawns. Their menu covers the usual Hong Kong style of cooking, but it's the unusual dishes where they really shine. Items like Spicey and Salty Dungeness Crab (market price ) - so good that you cannot stop eating it until every little morsel has been devoured. Mussels in a pepper and garlic butter sauce brought bubbling in the shell to your table. Bet you can't eat just one. Companion had the seafood noodle soup ($7.95), and pronounced it fabulous. It was loaded with everything from big, succulent shrimp to pieces of fish and tender squid, all served over tender noodles in a beautiful broth with tender greens. Even the tea is special, with a wonderful flavor that was not typical of black tea's. Other wonderful items on the menu include Crab and Sharks Fin Soup ($16.00 and a bargain at that), Cold Jelly Fish ($8.95), Black Mushrooms & Duck Feet ($8.95) and Szechuan Scallops ($11.95). For the vegetarians, try the Spinach with Garlic ($7.50 and wonderful), Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce ($8.50), or the Braised Tofu ($8.95). I have yet to have a bad dish or even a slightly bad dish at this restaurant. Restrooms are a short walk away, but are beautifully appointed and sparkling clean. I give them 4 stars for quality of food and cleanliness. read more
