| - I'm from NY, so I grew up going to many Chinese restaurants. I can honestly say that Mekong Palace is a gem in Mesa, AZ for authentic HK style food.
I've been here many times, for a quick lunch, a late night dinner, and a weekend Dim Sum event. All of my experiences have been great.
First, let me talk about their BBQ: roast pork, duck, chicken, etc. The BBQ which you can buy by the pound or get it over rice for lunch is very good quality. This reminds me of the Chinese BBQ back in NY.
For dinner they offer a nice selection of options ranging from deep fried whole fish to a steamed fish with soy sauce, scallions ,and ginger. Also, I like to order the "Chow Mien" (pan-fried noodles) with your choice of protein. They have basically everything on the menu. If you don't know what to order, just ask your server, they are very helpful.
Now for my Dim Sum experience they offer your typical "Dim Sum". I was amazed by the selection and quality.
I consider these the standards:
Siu Mai - Pork and Shrimp dumpling
Har goh - Shrimp dumpling
Wu Tao go - Fried Taro Cake
Ha cheung - Shrimp wrapped in rice noodles
......and plenty more!
Also, I have experienced a high level of service during my Dim Sum meal with my friends. I would ask them if they had a particular dish, and they said they were still cooking them and that they would be ready soon. To my surprise, when they were ready, the server personally delivered that particular Dim Sum to us. That act seldom happens at a Dim Sum restaurant partially because the restaurants are usually too busy and because the servers just don't care. You don't have to worry about that here :-). Also, the servers speak english, no worries.
Therefore, come here and experience real Chinese food. O, did I mention the price is super reasonable!!!
