| - Mekong is a little further than I like to go, but we still come here ever couple of months. Lee Lee used to be our primary Asian market, but their selection seems to be declining. We'll still go there, but if they continue having problems they may not last much longer. In which case we'll have no choice but to drive the extra several miles to come here.
Mekong is the anchor store in the Mekong Plaza. Lots of eateries and a few shops here. The supermarket is well-stocked with Asian-oriented produce, an extensive fish counter (including live fish), and a meat counter. Plus aisle after aisle of various Asian goods including rice noodles, seasonings, various canned things most Americans wouldn't recognize, snacks, drinks, etc. Like an Asian Safeway.
Pricing is competitive, and there aren't many places you can obtain some of these items. Aisles are more narrow than conventional grocery stores, and sometimes they are made more narrow with boxes of product (often unopened boxes) stacked in places.
For Asian foods and fish this is probably the best place in the Phoenix area now.
