Happy Baos

Restaurants come and go from the food court inside Mekong Plaza in Mesa. But Happy Baos, a little eatery with its own space just off the main dining area, is a mainstay. This spot, as the name suggests, specializes in bao and dumplings. We’re partial to the satisfyingly chewy handmade dumplings, and you can try them all with the 20-piece dumpling combo that features five of each of the different fillings. This spot also offers plump steamed buns and soup-filled xiao long bao. Outside of the steamed and fried parcels, don’t miss the Dan Dan Noodles topped with crunchy peanuts or the fresh and savory cucumber salad.
