pretty much a toss-up as to best dim sum in the valley between this place and phoenix palace in chandler. prices are pretty comparable btwn these 2 places. having eaten a bunch of times in hong kong and vancouver and knowing a thing or two about dim sum, i still love coming here.
plusses (compared to phoenix palace):
- cooler dim sum hall atmosphere in the cavernous hall in the back of mekong plaza
- tends to use thinner skin for dumplings than p.p.
- 10min closer if you're coming down from up north
minuses (compared to phoenix palace):
- little less variety of items, although mekong does offer few things that p.p. does not offer, like bbq pork pies.
- tends to be more droughts here in terms of carts coming around.
- while they do certain items better than p.p., i feel there are a little more hits & misses here.
