MESA — Mesa has become one of the Valley’s go-to spots for Chinese food, and diners have their favorites, according to a KTAR News roundup of online reviews.
KTAR timed the list to National Chinese Takeout Day on Thursday, analyzing reviews from Reddit, Yelp, Tripadvisor, Google and Facebook.
Much of the action is in the Mesa Asian District, a 2-mile stretch of Dobson Road with more than 100 Asian-owned businesses. KTAR reported it started with the opening of Mekong Plaza in 2008 and got its official name in 2019.
Original Cuisine, a Sichuan restaurant, earned averages of 4.6 stars on Google and 4.2 on Yelp, with diners praising its traditional, consistent food and attentive service.
King’s Chef came highly recommended for takeout, with reviewers calling its food authentic and homemade-tasting and its portions large for the price.
Tsing Tao was recommended for American-style Chinese food, with lunch and dinner specials that include rice and an egg roll or soup.
Best Hong Kong Dining serves Cantonese and Mandarin dishes and Hong Kong-style barbecue, with weekday lunch specials from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., according to KTAR.
