    Food was delicious, fresh and authentic. Service was friendly albeit a bit delayed. The big screen tv is a great addition while you're enjoying your food! The crispy seafood noodle dish is EXCELLENT!

    If you're looking for Asian cuisine, look no further than this amazing Oriental mall! Many food places, an area with tables to sit & eat or just visit with friends & family, & for your sweet tooth, there are tea & dessert places. Also clothes shops. The ambiance is bright & inviting. Service is very good in the shops.

    I had a nice time here at Mekong Palace Dim Sum Chinese Restaurant. I came with a large group of mostly international students and was able to sample various dishes while here. Mekong Palace is a traditional Chinese restaurant that specializes in dim sum, BBQ, hot pots and other Hong Kong favorites. It is located inside Mekong Plaza, a community hub with shops and restaurants that is located in the heart of the Asian District in Mesa. Here at Mekong Palace they have both an all-day and dim sum menu. The menu is quite large. The food was already chosen for our large group and was served to us family-style. We started off with some hot tea. Food items that I got to try were Braised Tofu, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Steam BBQ Pork Buns, Peking Duck, Kung Pao Chicken and Shrimp & Pork Dumplings. Everything was really delicious. The Peking Duck was amazing and I highly recommend it. Other items that I enjoyed were the Shrimp & Pork Dumplings and the Honey Walnut Shrimp. I had to pace myself because the servers were bringing out food every 5 to 10 minutes. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here at Mekong Palace and the fresh food that they make.

    Dinner date with the BFF and we wanted Asian food. We've been to Mekong Plaza several times, but have never tried this place. Well, tonight was the night! It had the vibe and feeling of a traditional Chinese restaurant. All of our food was freshly prepared and pretty good. It was our first time there, so tried a variety of items. Our faves were the Kung Pao Shrimp, General Chicken and Green Beans. We wanted the Crispy Duck to be crispy and the skin was not. The Fried Rice was just ok. As we were sitting there we saw several plates being taken to a table that looked AMAZING. We asked what all the items were and have a plan of what we want for next visit.

    Radish cake was dry and bland

    This place at best gets 3 stars, not the worst but just plain OK. While my family isn't Cantonese or from the area that makes dim sum, I have eaten dim sum since from my mother's womb and have also had great dim sum in Hong Kong, so trust me when I give my feedback on dim sum. We came here over a holiday weekend and there was a line to get a table, that's a good sign. I have been here a few times now and each time the experience has just been so-so. Service is always lackluster and doesn't seem to be a strength of this place. We ordered some of our favorite go-tos for dim sum including shrimp balls, shrimp crepes, Phoenix feet, radish cakes, and oily rice. One of the women pushing one of the carts, recommended stuffed tofu skin and we tried that also. The only stand outs for me were the Phoenix feet and stuffed tofu skin. I really liked the stuffed tofu skin as it also have bamboo shoots and mu erh, some of my favorite Chinese vegetables. The other dishes were all kind of disappointing for me. The oily rice was probably one of the worst ones I have eaten in a long time (I can make a better one). Radish cake tasted very dry and no sauce comes with it. The shrimp crepe also was bland and not tasty. We also could not get anyone to bring us ice waters as my mom needed to take her medicine and I had to get up and ask someone. I told my mom that I rarely come here because for the price and the quality of food, just not worth it. She also agreed after having the experience with me.

    Mekong palace is in the 99 ranch food court. It can be really crowded. Their shrimp dumpling are okay. They put bamboo in it. I don't really like Bamboo in it. The meat dumpling have mushrooms. I am also not a fan of that. Can get quite noisy. Service can be slow.

    Came back for dim sum and it bumps my opinion up to 5 stars! We were seated quickly and the carts were coming by before we even had tea. This was great as we were hungry!! Within minutes we had all our favorites -- shu mai, sticky rice, bao buns, sesame balls and more. An efficient dim sum place is such a great option when you're already hungry and they had food in my belly fast. The staff working the carts were very friendly. There's always that cart that has the tiers and glass with multiple options, and the woman with that cart was great about telling us what the different options were. Shu mai - which I've had here before as you can get it at dinner - were delicious! Loved their sticky rice. It has some really tasty mushrooms inside along with the usual sausage etc. Their sesame balls are huge and really good! And the egg tarts were the best I've had. The pastry on these is so light and flaky. They also had a milk tart version which we didn't try -- we can only eat so much!! Looking forward to coming back for more.

    Came here for dinner and was really pleasantly surprised with the tastiness of the food and service. It is located within Mekong, a little past the small food court. It was not busy when we came and seated right away. There's still availability for dimsum even at this time but mostly dumplings and shumai options. No carts though so you will have to order through your server for dinner. The best thing was the shumai and beef short ribs. It was clean and quick. Warning, the portions are huge so we did take home quite a bit of food.

    Great authentic dim sum! We weren't sure if getting dim sum in the middle of Arizona would be a good idea or something we'd regret, and we're glad we went! Came right after opening on a Saturday with a party of 7. Got seated right away and the carts were fresh, hot and ready to serve. Got our staples: shumai, har gao, BBQ baked buns, Chinese broccoli, and shrimp rice noodle. Also tried the shark fin dumplings and egg noodle in soy sauce. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious! The egg noodle dish comes around in a giant bowl on top of the cart and is also served in a huge portion, so be ready for that! We just wanted to try it and ended up with a full n bowl still at the end of our meal. Prices were very reasonable, to our pleasant surprise. We are used to dim sum prices in Los Angeles and Denver and this was great. Service was great. Carts came around frequently and cart staff was always quick but helpful. Would definitely recommend this place!

    Decent Cantonese cuisine in Mesa. The quality and variety of dim sum items are both good. Service and ambiance are no frills. Reliable place for good Chinese food.

    Friendly staff, spacious eatery on the side of the food court. I got shrimp and mushroom Shumai. Those were great! I also got fat noodles that supposedly had beef inside, but honestly, they were just mooshy and I didn't love the oil drizzle. For three small plates my total came to almost $22 so not a great deal. And I really wanted a cup of soup, but all of their soups were priced and portioned for several people.

    Jook

    Every once in a while we get a craving for Yum Cha -- which literally means "drink tea" and is commonly known as Dim Sum -- so we headed over to Mekong Palace in Mesa. The atmosphere was casual, but the service was inconsistent. Tried the har gow and the skins slipped right off, the siu mai was dense (I make a better filling at home), and the har cheung fun was just okay. My wife had the jook and said it was decent. On a positive note, they did have Bo-Lay tea, which we appreciated. Overall, the food landed below average and isn't worth a return visit. Saluti

    I ordered a food delivery today and there's a huge fly inside of the shumai, I am truly concerned with the food safety in this restaurant.

And with that declaration, I will say that Pacific seafood buffet definitely delivers as long as your expectations are realistic. And I would even argue that even if your expectations aren't realistic, they do a pretty damn good job delivering the goods when it comes to variety. While this is not a sushi buffet focused concept, they have a lot of great premade rolls sashimi and nigiri available around the sushi bar along with all the accompaniments that you would need to just eat sushi if that's what you desire. But they have far more selection than just those items. In addition to that they seem to be primarily known for their fresh crab legs, shrimp, and other seafood, but I honestly found those items to be some of the less interesting and less flavorful items available in the restaurant. As with any of these crab leg based, buffet's, the crab legs stayed empty, or mostly empty with you, having to special request some from your server, or at least notification from one of the cooks on when the next batch was going to be dumped. Again, as long as your expectations are in line, this is probably not a big deal for you. It wasn't for us. What I really like about this spot is the level of delicacies they offer which are clearly targeted to a primarily native Asian audience but for foodies like me, who like to venture out and try new things, this is a great way to do it without having to feel like you wasted your money on one dish that you may or may not end up eating. And while they encourage you to eat the food you take off of the buffet, they are not militant about it and don't hesitate to clean plates off of the table or refill your drinks, which is something we really appreciated. It can be a little crowded with larger families and crab leg fanatics, who only seem to be there to rush to the bar every time a new set of crabs are dumped, but other than that I would say this is a pretty enjoyable spot if you're just looking for a very affordable seafood buffet that features some of the better fresh seafood and sashimi items in the city.
