Best restaurant in Alamogordo, cloudcroft, Tularosa, ruidoso! One of the best Thai restaurants I've been to in the states. Everything was fresh, high quality, super flavorful, and yummy af! I went here almost every other day for 3 weeks, very consistent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was decent and ambiance was decent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tried most of the apps and Thai dishes...all very good. My favs were pad thai (very good), drunken noodles, cashew nut, and pad pra ka or something. Definitely go and be careful with spicy levels go lower than you normally would because they actually make it spicy here. I found 4 was perfect for me when I usually get 7 at other places. read more

The food and service were very disappointing. The staff was rude and did not allow us to change the spice level. They kept insisting that outside drinks were not allowed. We explained that the cups were empty and we could not find a trash bin nearby, and even offered for them to throw them away, but they refused and repeated the same rule. This was the worst Thai food I have had. I ordered panang curry, and the chicken was very dry. The drunken noodles were unusual, and the oil used did not taste right and upset my stomach. I could not finish the meal even though I do not like wasting food. I wish I could give a lower rating. read more

What a gem in Alamogordo. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food , service and the ambiance were just so nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Surprisingly, the decor was quite modern, unlike the orientalist that we see normally.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Good food. Good value. I enjoyed this as take out while on business travel. Fast service.

This was my first visit to Asian Garden. I visited early so there was plenty of parking and I was seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is spacious and has a nice set up, however, it does have a damp mildew smell.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a Thai tea to drink and spring rolls. The tea was perfect, not watered down with a nice bold flavor and just the right amount of sweetness and cream. The spring rolls were also delicious! I was unfortunately disappointed in my Tom Yum shrimp soup. It was pretty bland and lacking in flavor. The broth was very watered down and I could barely taste the lemongrass. Overall, I'd give this restaurant another try and choose something different. read more

Sorry Asian Garden but you just didn't make the grade in food delivery. Your menu is just too big to do anything well, in my opinion. We ordered spring rolls , tai ice tea, various rolls. Tuna, yellowtail, crispy salmon all , oh well, had to look for the little cubes fish. Service was good. No return 4 us read more

So glad we decided to stop here! My family and I decided to come down the mountain and try one of the few Asian restaurants there is in Alamogordo, we were NOT DISAPPOINTED! My husband ordered the Drunken Noodles and the Sushi Sampler (they have two size options). The noodles were jam packed with flavor and both him and my daughters thoroughly enjoyed the Sushi, my daughter mentioned the sushi wasn't fishy at all, she said it tasted very fresh and was pleasant to the palate. The yellow Curry and Chicken Thai Fried Rice also came in generous portions and were delicious and satisfying. The star of the show for me was the Hot Pot soup we ordered. It was $14, and was enough for three people. It comes in either shrimp or chicken and they have two broth options. We opted for the coconut milk one with cilantro and WOW WAS IT DELICIOUS!! Honestly, I will be going back for that Hot Pot alone. They have a variety of drink options, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The Thai Tea my daughter had was super refreshing and creamy. My husband and I had the Fuji Apple Sake and Pear and they were so smooth and sweet, the Sake was delicious. The service was great, our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable with her recommendations for food. The prices were $10 and up but that seems to be the norm nowadays. If you're in the mood for some Thai/Japanese food give this place a try. Step out of your comfort bubble and try out some new things from the menu, you might just surprise your taste buds! This place is a thumbs up for me. read more

Food is ok but it's not traditional Thai like they claim. The soups are absolutely horrible and taste like they have been under a heat lamp for a week and look like it too! Unfortunately for this area there are no other options. read more

so far everything we tried has been delicious! can't wait to order again:) -love the fried wontons and spring rolls for apps too!

We were very hungry after hiking in white sands national park and this is one of the very few vegan friendly places in the area. The restaurant was empty when we entered and despite that it took quite some time for us to get the order. The staff were very accommodating to make the food vegan. Thai places usually have shrimp paste and fish sauce as ingredients in many of their dishes and finding restaurants without them is usually rare. This place didn't disappoint us! read more

When I arrrived Easter afternoon, it was almost empty but as time went on a couple of more people showed up. The waitress was nice. She was 1 of only 2 waitress. I ordered a volcano roll at 16.99 and egg drop soup. I asked for Masego on the sushi which is the way I always order it here. The waitress informed me it would be an extra charge and I agreed. When she told the sushi chef he refused saying it was too expensive! When she returned to the table to inform me of his decision I asked what sushi normally has Masaka on it she named two rolls., one of which is a spicy girl at the cost of 1.00 more than what I ordered. The spicy girl, sushi and the volcano roll have very similar ingredients. The egg drop soup was darker than normal mainly orange not yellow and it seemed to have an oily texture. The crunchy's they give for the soup were delicious. The sushi was disappointing and to be honest my appetite was extremely diminished after hearing that the chef felt it was too expensive for me (I was eating alone) As I stated earlier, this is the way I always order it, and I have always received Masego when requested. I have always paid extra. Overall, the experience, especially for Easter Sunday was very disappointing. I don't believe I will be eating at Asian garden again or maybe next time I will bring a man. Maybe the chef will not feel it is too expensive for him. read more

The food wasn't to bad the vegetable tempura was soggy and not crispy the drunken seafood noodles didn't have enough sauce and I did ask for extra but wasn't given any. But it did have really good flavor it was almost like a black peppery taste which I did really enjoy. My husband ordered the crab roll and it wasn't tight it just fell apart but was pretty good in flavor he also ordered the pork Thai fried rice and he said that he really enjoyed it. The service was great the lady who answered the phone was very friendly and helped me and made sure that the order was correct. I would definitely go back read more

Soup was nasty bland ! Even the salad was terrible. Looks like they just took a few pieces of bag lettuce and put it in the bowl. Ordered salmon/scallops fried rice with veggies. Salmon was hard as a brick. Rice looked and tasted as if they took steamed rice and put soy sauce on it. The veggies (which I ordered extra ) were 90% onions. Sushi was the best thing. Wouldn't come for anything else . When I asked about replacement the service said no that's what you ordered. 1/10 stars do not recommend! read more

Great food and good service every time. The sushi is always great too. They cook the steak to perfection when your order from the Hibachi grill. read more

I Love the pineapple fried rice with shrimp! The yellow curry is on 1 one order. And all the sashimi and sushi has been amazing every time I order it! Been going there for 3 years never had bad food. read more

Ordered a to-go order. I always love to order the monkey ball I order 30 minutes prior to pick up time and so whenever I go there it's already done. I love their monkey ball And the people are nice too, good service. read more

I'm very disappointed in this business. I have been there multiple times in the past and they have always been kind about subbing fish out for something vegetarian in my favorite rolls. This last time they outright refused. It's not difficult to leave out salmon and add cucumber or tofu. It was the only place in town that I could get good vegetarian sushi up until now, they even hosted the local vegetarian group for an event a few years back. If a business doesn't allow substitutions then it needs to be stated in the menus. Maybe I just caught the staff on a bad day but the dining area was quite empty . read more

Looks like new management since I'd been there last. Lacked a functional sushi bar during lunch. Miso soup was off taste. I'd not do here again. If you want sushi go to Lowe's. read more

Never been to this restaurant before and won't be going back. I ordered pork pad thai and asked the waitress to get it spicy. I got the dish and the pork was so dry it was like chewing card board, there was little to no sauce on the noodles and not one bit of spice. I ate 3 bites. 15 minutes later I finally got the waitresses attention and told her it was horrible and I wasn't going to eat it. She said ok and took it away. She never asked if she could replace it or anything. Then she came over to give me my bill and wanted me to pay for something I didn't eat. Asked for the manager and after waiting 20 minutes for him to come out he pretty told me to bad still had to pay! He said it was my fault. I paid $17.00 for bad food I didn't eat. Worst food, worst customer service and the most rude manager/ owner! DONT EAT HERE! I would give it no stars but not allowed. read more

You really don't want to eat here. This was the third time this week. Trying to give it a chance . This last lunch was unbelievable!! Meat so tough it wasn't chewable. Waitress took it back to kitchen the manager refused to replace it. Said it was done the same way as always. Maybe so but it was an extremely tough piece of meat. Refuses to replace or offer something else. Did not come to table to offer something else or discuss. It was not a busy time. Could not have sent a clearer message than this "they don't care about customer". Server as nice as she was in an awkward position and felt Bad. Bangkok Tokyo is much better on every level!! read more

Waited about 25-30 minutes to be seated on a Friday night for dinner. We got seated at the bar & it took an additional 10-15 minutes before a server came up to us to get drinks & food - so service was definitely on the slower side around here. But on to the stuff that matters... the food! The Thai Tea was delicious. I got the Thai fried rice & it was a good price, filling, and good. Honestly what made this dining experience so great was our group tried to pay, but it turns out someone had already paid our entire bill! I'm pretty sure it was a couple we had spoken to while waiting for our seats... regardless, it was such a kind act & it made up for the slowness of the service. For Alamogordo, this place is 4 stars. In a major city, it would be about a 3 star but there's not too many options here & for that, it received a higher rating. Also had to bug the server for refills on drinks a couple of times - I think this place honestly needs another worker or two and things would run a bit more smoothly. read more

Food is the best Asian food in town. Good service. I've tried all the Asian restaurants here in Alamogordo, Asian Garden keep up the good work. read more

Food was delicious. Large portion sizes. Prices were fair. Our server was funny. It is a very casual place with plenty of parking in their lot. They offer Japanese and thai dishes. Zero complaints. So I compared this place with Bangkok Tokyo and I honestly prefer Bangkok Tokyo because the food has more flavor. The sushi at Bangkok was also slightly better. Both places are delicious and you can't go wrong. Try them both out. read more

I ordered the Philadelphia Roll and this is what they gave me. I've ordered this roll on multiple occasions and never seen it where it looks like a sliver of avocado and cream cheese. I had to use a microscope to confirm this was in fact a Philly Roll. I then tried to talk to the server about it and they said it would be an extra charge for more cream cheese. They made no attempt to resolve this issue/misunderstanding. I heard great things about this place but this was a big disappointment. Unfortunately, I'd recommend getting sushi from somewhere else. read more

Maybe she just didn't know server etiquette! She brings out my daughter's Pad Thai with no silverware and no plates. Guess she didn't know Asians eat/ate family style at dinner and share. Then came our hot pot soup ...again had to ask the server for bowls, spoons and serving spoon. Isnt that Server 101??? Had to ask for refills on water which she forgot. Then THIS....5 min after she served the last entree, Thai steak, she asked if I was ready for the check!!!!! Whaaaaaaaat, Brrrrrenda???? The restaurant had maybe 4 other couples before our party of theee sat down. And no one came in after us. It was about 6. The place closed at 9pm...clearly plenty of time to eat dinner and visit with friends. The food was ok, the soup lacked the lemongrass flavor, pad Thai was colored noodles and the yellow curry chicken were just veggies Take heed from others and skip this place. Only reason why we came was our favorite restaurant was closed on Sunday and my 9 month very pregnant daughter , ready to Pop, was craving Thai food. Clearly, The Frozen BOXED Food At SAFEWAY Was More AUTHENTIC Than THIS place! read more

So the food is overall pretty decent. There were videos playing on the TV's of cooking and raw chicken etc which made me feel weird? A weird vibe in there and the lighting is pretty bad so it feels a little not welcoming to eat there at night. They are 100% understaffed however the servers were nice. Overall, pretty good curry but not the most welcoming place to eat. read more

The food is good but we ordered a rainbow roll and a spider roll. Spider roll had hardly any soft shell crab. My husband's rainbow roll was barely a rainbow. It was basically a California roll with a little bit of salmon, no avocado, and minimal amounts of... shrimp? We waited almost half an hour for no one to get seated. What we did notice was that to go orders were the priority, but even that was hardly moving. Wait staff was friendly, but it hardly seems like service was their priority. Ambiance... I'd give it a 4/10. Everyone in the area seemed irritated about the lack of communication and the insane wait time for food. We could have driven to Las Cruces for an all you can eat sushi buffet in the same amount of time and money. read more

Is the food amazing? Yes. Do they only have two servers working 12 tables with 50+ people on a Friday night and a line out the door? Yes. Not the servers fault but holy $&&& you are going to have terrible table service and wait times. Bring your patience and don't come starving cuz it's going to take TIME. Gotta get those waiters some help in there. They are crushing it but they can only do so much. Fail on the business owner because an EASY 5 star review is now a 1 read more

Incredible slow service. I ordered the tom kah and it was extremely milky. I expected more flavor but mostly tasted coconut milk. It did not come with a rice so when I ordered the rice it took almost 10 minutes before I received the rice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At this time the restaurant was still mostly empty with only 2 other patrons there so I would expect scooping a bowl of rice to be fast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also ordered nigiri which was fine. I think the pricing is a little steep for 3 prices and had a lot of rice. read more

Horrible food. No sushi as there sushi chef left. Waited 45 min for my food and it tasted awful. Do not eat here.

Really good food. They always have a 4 PM rush, so I'd expect them to be more prepared. But, service was with a smile and immediate as possible. We're lucky to have this restaurant in Alamogordo. read more

Before the pandemic, we ventured to this place for sushi and were delightfully surprised -- it was both good and fresh! Fast forward to 2023. Still fresh and good, but very skimpy. I ordered a typical rainbow roll: wrapped in yellowtail, tuna and salmon. Well, there was no yellowtail, and the tuna and salmon were surgically cut to about a 1/8 inch thickness. It was mostly imitation crab, I could not hardly taste the fish!!. So -- skimpflation has hit this favorite, won't go back to pay $14 for an imitation crab roll. read more

So I've been coming here on and off for the past 5 years since they first opened. The food is great especially for the area around here. Better than bangkok Tokyo when it comes to the taste of the sushi itself, including the ones they sell at Albertson's store bought kinds. The only downside is this is the first time I ordered the spider roll and happy mango roll to go. Taste wise it was great and worth 4 stars, but the portion of how much you get for two dinner rolls isn't worth the $25.00 you spend on it with or without the tip. Kinda disappointed in the size after getting home and seeing the width of the actual roll. Need to get some real sushi from the east coast. read more

The food we got was the worst asian food we ever had. It even left a terrible after taste. We called the manager for a refund. He said to bring the food back. We drove back to the restaurant and a different manager refuse to give us the refund. Worst customer service ever. read more

This place has some of the best asian food in the world. Yes, the world. Staffing can sometimes be a problem, but at least after you wait, you have an amazing meal. Also, keep in mind, it's hard to find help these days so cut them some slack. Don't go in peak times when the line is out the door, go back two hours later and have an amazing meal with a cold beer. read more

Looks like a cute little family owned bizznizz from the outside but when you walk in it's so much more than that. My boo thang got the onion soup and I got the egg drop soup and both were absolutely breathtaking, as if it was their own recipe that they brew every morning at the butt crack of dawn. Don't even get me started on the sushi. It's the best thing since vibrating dildos. I ate a piece and saw the heavens right before my eyes. I heard angels sing. The chips that came with my soup are good too. The sauces are weird but good. Like they mixed unicorns tears with the semen of an alpaca. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I have had a hard time finding good Asian food I am very particular about it so after reading the reviews on Asian Garden I decided to just bite the bullet and try it out. That was about a month ago and since then we have returned several times mainly for take out but we have also eaten in. So far we have tried the pad Thai, drunken noodles, sweet and sour chicken, spring rolls, hollowman roll, hibachi plate, panang curry, rice and pad kra Pao, everything has always been piping hot and fresh. I have yet to try anything that I haven't liked.... the panang is both mine and my husbands favorites it is so yummy..... I highly recommend Asian Garden to anyone needing to get there Thai food fix. read more
