| - I went here for dim sum with my parents who are visiting from northern cali on a Sunday. I wanted to get their take on it. Before this place, China King down in Chandler was always my favorite dim sum place. They had a great variety, the dim sum was not greasy, and the service was decent.
Mekong Palace does what China King does but even better. There are more varieties of dim sum to choose from. The restaurant is also a lot bigger and much cleaner with their tile floor. China King's carpet has gotten really dirty over the past few years. The usual chicken feet, har gow, siu mai, chow fun, and congee, which are my standards, are excellent here. Also every time I go, I always seem to find some new item I've never tried before.
Price wise, it's as cheap as it can get. With 4 people eating all the dim sum they can and hot tea, I think the bill is usually $40-$50 total.
To top it off, you can go grocery shopping next door after you're done or grab a boba tea at the taiwan cafe in the mall.
My parents said the dim sum was pretty close, if not equal, to what they get in the bay. Definitely my favorite dim sum place in the valley, and I've been to cfu, china king, phoenix palace, golden buddha, and great wall.
