Fairly a large establishment. The market carries food items from various countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Korea, Japan and Philippines. Nice location for all in shopping. The produce is fresh. I guess they carry produce from several countries because the Mekong River is shared by above countries. The place is clean no doubt it. The only hiccup is the prices could more than other establishments. The meat products also above the average price. The staff is nice. And the decor is dainty.

One of the best supermarkets I been to in Arizona. Plenty of choices. However, I rather not buy the fruits because many of them I bought ended up in the trash because they dont ripe right. Fruits look nice but not taste right at all. Other than that, great prices and offers many other things like live caught seafoods.

We had such a great time. It was a good find. #thankstiktok. I wish there were more authentic stores at the plaza. The supermarket had everything we could think of and more! Fish and meat looked fresh. Market was clean. Staff was nice and helpful. We ate dinner at the restaurant in the food court and then had the rolled ice cream just down the hall. Well worth the short drive.

Diversity of Foods. Mekong, somehow the brand is written as New World in Chinese. First, it is an Asian supermarket, like 99 Ranch and H-Mart (in west coast, e.g. California, Portland and Seattle). More of a grocery store for dim sum and foods, this particular one is packed with all sorts of international cuisines. Found typical Chinese Cantonese, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, and more. The food court is also full of Chinese restaurants from different regions and styles. For any family, just looking around could be a great fun!

This is what a grocery store should feel like especially for the community. Great products, great prices. Nice staff. Great selection of Seafood and Meats. Meat Department is wonderful. Very helpful. First time visitor but definitely will shop here, this place is so much better than Hmart.

I absolutely love Mekong Supermarket. I’ve been shopping there since 2010. They have everything and the prices are great.I generally purchase produce, rice and seafood there and I generally fill a whole cart for under $100. The owners and management are friendly and helpful and they are great community partners!

Mekong market is a no nonsense Asian grocery store with a great live fish department. Hard to beat. Just be patient though, what you want is likely there, you may have to hunt for it and ask for help. Great prices, could have a better layout, but, as an Asian market, it absolutely gets its job done.

The market is more than just shopping at a very good market and plaza. The shoppers are highly diverse and in my experience warm, friendly and helpful.In most markets, viewing the appearance, is similar to having experienced a tornado. I always see stockers but not an army of employees picking things off the floor or things dropped where they are not kept. I cant comment on prices because of all the plusses and partially because of a very generous military discount. They are virtually always busy but always have enough cashiers and lines move quickly. At other markets I have had many rude cashiers. Never a mistake or any issue with a Mekong Supermarket cashier. My thinking is Mekong is a solid business with no gimmicks or tricks. Other markets I see produce that is not in even acceptable condition.Not once at Mekong Market. For myself, one of my favorites has been the mix of cultures as shoppers. Today a stocker helped me locate things at least 3 times. He took me to the items. Mekong Market offers service unlike most places today.

I love this place. I am only in Phoenix for school and I am away from my family. This is one of the only places in this city that makes me feel kinda at home and connected to my culture. I actually live on the complete other side of town but the 30 min drive is worth it. Gives me something to do/look forward to. ❤

We love going to Mekong Supermarket to get our fresh seafood to cook our Boils. We get our seasoning and fresh produce to complete the process I love the variety of international foods for our other eating enjoyment also.

We have shopped at all the Asian supermarkets in the area, and none can beat Mekong Supermarket. They have the most variety of sauces, noodles, and dry goods of any other supermarket. Also, their fresh seafood is excellent. I like that they give veterans discount, plus 10% off.

A fantastic selection of Asian foods. If youve never been youre in for a treat. From Mirin to live clams, varieties of chili crisp, honey butter potato chips, or propane burners for outdoor wok cooking, this place is legit. They will sell you a whole fish, clean it, chip it, and deep fry it for you. Great produce too.

Had to go, I saw this place on tiktok. We bought these things at 3 different places. With the lemon bread we also had a bun with pork. We ate that so no picture 😁. The noodles tasted just like lo mein. the egg rolls were so packed with goodness. Always wanted to try BAO, small but filling. Got some spring rolls (sorry no pictures) the were the most photogenic tho. Fresh and crisp. Never had vietnamese food before but it wont be my last

We traveled all the way from Queen Creek and it was worth it. The Supermarket was a cool experience, we shopped every aisle. The staff must be commended for their polite attentiveness and help for me being wheelchair bound. There is a very wide variety of Asian foods, snacks, drinks and exotic fruits, go! TOTALLY worth it. I must also recommend Tea Snow & Coffee, delicious Matcha smoothie yummm...

Ugh, I’m at Mekong Palace right now and the service was good and the food was really delicious, until the dreadful discovery of a hair in my food. I didn’t mention anything until the waiter noticed I stopped eating abruptly. I pointed to the hair and the waiter said, “What do you want me to do, I don’t work in the kitchen. Hair in food happens. I can offer you a discount.” Well, for the record, I don’t want a discount. I want clean delicious food. Thumbs down on this restaurant for me, which is unfortunate because the food is really appetizing. : (

Clean, organized, so many selections to choose from. Their produce is fresh, theres a wide variety of herbs, vegetables, mushrooms, and all kinds of fruits. They have a large selection of spices, noodles of all types, desserts, breads, drinks, and household items like dishes, brooms, incense, soap, and personal care. Their meat and seafood department is clean and organized. They also have live fish, and crustaceans to choose from. They will catch, clean and prepare them for you. When you walk in, you dont smell any fishiness in the air, in spite of the live fish and seafood available. This is one of my favorite supermarkets, I drive about 45 minutes to shop at Mekong Supermarket... Its worth the drive.

Be careful of thieves using your line to get out, they might have something to scan in and add it to your groceries and will get away with it. The operator will not even mind what is going on, they do not really care. Always look, the store do not have enough security to monitor what is going on at the line. do not let anyone get into your que and trying to get out. most likely they are thieves.

I never come on to make reviews but I could not forgive this one. We had the worst customer service today from an older woman (cashier) who flipped a switch when my 80 yr old grandpa politely said “i dont think that was ours” after she scanned an item but my mom instantly corrected him and told her don’t worry it is. she stopped bagging items and threw them down at him for him to yelling I ONLY HAVE 2 HANDS. 2 HANDS. repetitively. After she was done aggressively scanning items she packaged the item he had mistaken and handed it to him and said “here MUSHROOM CRAZY.” There was more in the encounter but I was so upset when I left seeing the abnormally insane behavior she performed towards a gentle 80 year old saying one thing. Me and my mom were boiling in anger that we could not even open our mouths. After leaving, I instantly called management and talked to Ryan which is why I did not give this 1 star. Ryan was very polite. He understood and listened to everything I had to say and told me he would address her and make sure this doesn’t happen again. He apologized multiple times and made sure we did not overpay or leave without everything we paid for. Thank you Ryan for being very respectful about the situation.

If you are into cultural food then definitely check this place out. Going through the main entrance brings you to a super market, but walk down the hall and its like a mini Chinatown. Emphasis on mini, but so worth spending the time to look at everything. I saw everything and ate some great food in about three and a half hours.

Always an adventure. :) My Mom and I always find fun places for lunch in the main building, and then we shop for all our Asian ingredients in the market portion of the store. We love to try new things and explore new flavors. (Its a good place for that.) Usually good meat & seafood prices. Cute dishes & also little home oddities. Always decently priced produce as well.

Over all, the marketplace is really nice with many stores and restaurants. The Mekong Supermarket itself is also great for frozen items, and very good for fresh produce and fresh fish. They dont carry sushi grade fish however. The general selection of snacks, rice, etc leaves a bit to be desired though. Besides huge fish, meat and produce sections, the rest is a wide variety of product categories, but. It many options within each. In some cases only one brand of something, or only two shelves of ramen.

The Mekong Supermarket is located in the Mekong Plaza on Dobson and Main Street in Mesa Arizona. It has every kind of Chinese Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Filipino food that you could ever want or need. I was astounded by the tons of different kinds of meat they cut up and all of the fish. There must have been 25 different fish that I never heard of. Its loud in there, its noisy, but its incredibly authentic. It is not the cleanest place on earth but if you want something Asian, some remote delicacy or something to add to a dish its the perfect place where you could buy anything your little heart desires. I have been to the Mekong Plaza about 7 times over the years and I never noticed this humongous supermarket inside. The produce section is very extensive with fruits from all over the world. As a Westerner I was shocked even though I have been to China before Ive never seen so much food and sauces and desserts in my life. Delicacies seemingly appearing in every counter with rows and rows of aisles where food is semi prepared, guy raw or fully cooked. You should see the millions of options that are available in this supermarket. I wonder why if theyre regulated by the FDA and if theyve been inspected for cleanliness because especially behind the meat and seafood counter I cant imagine it being clean. Why Pay $5,000 plus airfare to go to China when you could get the same feeling just driving up Dobson and landing in Little China in Mesa Arizona who would have ever thought that possible. I cant really say theres any customer service in here because people are barking and screaming to get what they want. I watched a older female in the produce department completely scream and bully a young girl that was working for her. I felt horrible for the young worker so I went up to the girl and I told that was not right and she said oh I get this every day. This woman who works there in a administrative role was bullying and yelling at this poor worker. Otherwise the food seemed fresh. They adjusted my order when I asked so everything seemed to to go smoothly this time!!
