Why you should go…

The Asian District grew up along Dobson Road in Mesa, Arizona after Mekong Plaza opened in 2008, and now includes more than 100 Asian-owned businesses. Anchors include Mekong Plaza, with eateries serving pho, banh mi and hot pot, and an H Mart grocery store, the chain's only Arizona location. The City of Mesa promotes the district through its visitor and economic development offices, and it features murals and cultural events reflecting the area's Vietnamese, Chinese and other Asian communities.
