    Fresh made baguettes

    It's been over a year since I last reviewed Coda although we have eaten here many times since then. This place is our go to for take out Vietnamese. They are always busy, but you get in and out quickly and there isn't anything we've tried that isn't delicious. Make sure to try the coffee, it packs a punch! This time we got three different noodle bowls, pork, chicken, and tofu. They are large enough that we always make two meals out of one bowl, so it's a great value.

    The food is great here. I never knew. I had the sandwich and it was great. It is very busy here, staff just want you make your order and just move on. It is located in a sketch area but inside was good. I would come back. There are no fountain drinks you can get in a container or they will make you a Thai tea

    We have been here before, but no one can find a previous podcast, and we cannot figure out why we might not have done a podcast on the Coda Bakery - a truly great eating establishment located in Albuquerque's International District. Fortunately, we went back and had a great eating experience. Our group sampled a variety of different offerings, and one was better than the other. Counter service and sufficient tchotchkes to make the interior ambiance homey. Worth a trip to sample some great food. Just click on the following YouTube video link to see why we will be coming back. https://youtu.be/hMn510_CVy4?si=huKmR_P93SLwOOSZ

    Grilled chicken banh mi
    Stesha C.

    Bahn mi were big! I've definitely paid more for sandwiches half that size. The bread is delicious and stays delicious even after a day in the fridge- mind blown! I got the grilled chicken banh mi with extra veggies on the way to an appointment. Planned on eating half, but scarfed the whole thing in the car. Picked up my man a combo bahn mi, he said the meat texture was a little strange, but delicious nonetheless. I ordered online and pick up was quick and easy Excited to come back to try their boba!

    I had hit a point in my trip where my body just NEEDED Asian food. They had a ton of other items laid out for you to pick up, but I went solely to get my hands on a banh mi. Ordered a combination to share with my fiance and good thing I did! Sandwich was HUGE and packed with meat. Bread was soft and crunchy at the same time. Not too bready and definitely did not cut up the top of my mouth. Only thing I wished was more pate! The cashier's attitude could've been better. Asked her what's in the case since there weren't signs, but she answered like I'm bugging her. Followed up asking if they would have anything else pate filled, she just repeated her prior answer with extra annoyance. Observed her attitude with other customers and it was so inconsistent. Restaurant was large and clean. Not sure if it's a regular thing, but when I went to get napkins, there was a homeless lady there helping herself to a huge cup of water (and making a mess) and a ton of napkins.. None of the employees seemed phased? Good choice in ABQ to scratch the itch for Asian food. Customer service was a turn off.

    Coda Bakery is so amazing! It was my favorite meal of my trip to New Mexico. If you're in the area, you need to make a stop here. Love, Love, Love! This place has delicious Vermicelli Noodle Bowls and Bahn Mi Sandwiches. The grilled pork was a must get. The price is reasonable and there are plenty of seats inside to enjoy your meal at. The staff was very friendly. Plus there's free parking and restrooms inside. Highly recommend Coda Bakery and will definitely be back soon!

    Coda Bakery is my favorite Vietnamese deli of all time. Whenever I'm in town, I have to stop by here! Their bánh mì are incredible. The bread is freshly baked. The sandwich itself is huge. It is 12" long and they are generous with the amount of meat/filling. They have so many delicious, authentic Vietnamese snacks and treats, including chè, bánh da lợn, and xôi. I also like to buy their freshly made tofu and chả lụa. I love that they have a New Mexican fusion version of pâté chaud that is filled with green chile chicken. They used to be located near Talin Market, but they've since moved. The new location is bigger and more spacious.

    Restaurant is clean and spacious. Food is very good and filling. Their bread is the best. Service is quick and well organized.

    Fried tofu w/ green onion and wood ear mushrooms

    One of my go to's when I'm in Albuquerque, though it's been a minute since my last visit and I didn't realize they changed locations and expanded. New spot is much bigger and still fills up. Got my usual pork banh mi and tried a side of fried tofu, both were amazing. Had the tofu with green onions and wood ear mushrooms, and it was so delicious and soft and sweet and perfectly paired with the fish sauce/soy sauce side. Pork banh mi was tasty and had such flavorful pieces of pork and were well distributed across the sandwich. Perfectly pickled daikon and carrots. Crowded even on a Thursday afternoon, but still were able to grab a table.

    Everything on the menu is a must to try! It maybe busy but all worth it especially the pork/shrimp spring rolls. It's no surprise when you see the long line and it's an experience to see how the new location is built.

    1. Coda Combo Banh Mi
    Tina C.

    If you are in Albuquerque and craving a solid banh mi, CODA Bakery is a great spot to check out. I ordered the classic banh mi dac biet, and it absolutely delivered. The cold cuts were flavorful, the bread was fresh, and the meat to bread ratio was just right since I like more meat than bread. This is an excellent option for a quick lunch, but I would recommend staying to eat if you can. The decor is simple, the space is clean, and there are a few tables available. It does get busy during the lunch rush, but the line moves quickly and is well worth the wait. While the banh mi definitely steals the show, there are plenty of other options on the menu. Their banh cuon, thin rice noodles filled with ground pork and wood ear mushrooms, was good, though still second to the sandwiches. They also offer pate chau, a flaky puff pastry filled with pork pate, including a New Mexico style version with chicken and green chile. They have a variety of Vietnamese desserts like che, which I did not get a chance to try this time. My coworker loved their traditional Vietnamese hot coffee. I do not drink coffee, but I did enjoy one of their smoothies, which was refreshing and delicious. Overall, CODA Bakery is a go to spot for authentic Vietnamese flavors and one of the best places in Albuquerque for banh mi.

    Pandan cake - flavor was too subtle, but I liked the texture
    Rachel M.

    Carryout shrimp spring rolls were just okay. They were large enough, and the lettuce was fresh, but the shrimp weren't seasoned or grilled. For $8, a little more flavor infusion would make a big difference. Peanut sauce: solid A.

    Maurine S.

    Okay, I have to say this is the second time I've been here and unless something changes, this is a definite go to spot whenever I'm in ABQ! We had the rolled noodles, grilled pork sandwich, fried tofu, spring roll, and a chicken turnover type thing, and my all time favorite, the banh cam! My apologies but I was so excited to be here the second time I didn't take pics of all the food or the menu! I just wanted to EAT! Admittedly having my cute 1 yo grandson eating with us was also a major distraction. Okay back to the food! Loved the rolled noodles that come with fixings and spheres of meat. Had to ask my pals back in the Bay Area where I can get this dish so stay tuned for Bay Area and LA recs. Coda makes it great and I love the explosion of flavors and textures. Soft noodles filled with bits or pork and mushrooms contrasting with the cucumbers, cilantro, bean sprouts, fried garlic and spheres of meat. The sandwich is a foot long and way better than what you'd get at the famous "foot long" place. The bread is fresh, the veggies crisp and the meat perfectly grilled. The chicken turnover tasted like a buttery pot pie. Gson loved the buttery flakey shell. Mmmmm what's not to love about that? The fried tofu is made in house and it tastes nice and fresh. Make sure you eat it while it's warm and dip it on the soy sauce. The bahn cam is what I came for (and the noodles). It a great crunchy exterior with a creamy coconut filling. Sadly on this second visit the inside was not as good as the first time but the shell still had a satisfying crisp crunch. I'm coming back for sure! The place is a bit cramped to eat in and I see a lot of orders to go. There are a few tables outside if you can stand the heat!

    Tully's Italian Deli - The Carmela - really drippy

    You know, when a deli that serves sandwiches has a line clear outside the door by 11:15 AM, there…read moreis probably a good reason. That is why we always arrive by 10:30. Seriously, Tully's is a great place to get lunch, pick up ready-made meals to take home, indulge in sweets, or listen to opera (did he just say opera?). Yes, opera with real Italian dinners ... stay tuned to their social media for the dates. We love coming here for all of the above. Great food, counter service, and sufficient tchotchkes to keep you entertained. Our highest possible recommendation. Come on down; we promise you'll like it. P.S. Try the Joe DiMaggio - it's terrific, and we're comin' back. Click the YouTube link below to see what we ate. https://youtu.be/4LotIHxltYo?si=e7Pz1JCTQ8iOpZQK

    I've been going here for almost 40 years - not sure what it's going to take to get it through my…read morehead that Tully's just isn't to my taste. Over the years I keep going back, about once a year: I've had their sandwiches, their pastries, their pies . . . all kinda "meh" and all priced pretty reasonably but not inexpensively. Sandwiches give you a lot of everything . . . except flavor. Pastries are . . . fine. Pies are . . . fine, and kinda small (and not inexpensive, maybe reaching towards pricey); it's the kinda thing you are willing to pay for in order to bring it to a gathering, only to find almost no one bothers to eat it. And so you don't bother. The cookies are pretty good, actually. (And, yes, I know Italian delis - my Italian grandparents brought me to them in New York when I was a child. However, I'm not judging Tully's against these (as in "it's not as good as Back East"), I'm just saying it never really turns my crank.) Today I had a hot chicken, cheese,onion and pepper sandwich, the Carmela. It was a lot of food. But . . . not a lot of flavor. A whole lot of drippy mess in the bottom of my basket, though: water absolutely sopped through the (completely unmemorable tasting) bread loaf and pooled at the bottom of my basket as I ate in. The potato salad served alongside was fine - like what you'd get at Albertson's. The chicken was tender and . . . essentially without flavor, not even salt. There had clearly been a little marinade (I could sense some oregano and maybe garlic in there) but man could this thing have used about five times as much seasoning and then a healthy dose of a vinegar/garlic/oregano dressing on top of it. Bland. Lots of food in that $17 (almost $25 with tip) sandwich, but not a lot of enjoyment. I've had other Tully's sandwiches (both for here and to-go) that were better, but I can't really recall any of them . . . and I _never_ rush back. Like I said, this is a place I think about ("Hey, I'm right nearby; I should try Tully's again!") about once a year . . . and then, meh. To be fair - I believe that I am pretty out in left field on this take: Tully's is popular and always hopping. Get here early unless you want to stand in line. I only had to wait about three minutes to order, but by the time I left at noon this Friday there was a line to order all the way from the counter to the door. In terms of the room, it's a deli. Reasonably well set out with a decent amount of seating set out well, as well as some outside seating that you might want to try when it's not in the nineties. You order at the counter, pay, go get your own fountain drink (they also have some beer and wine, which they will serve you), find a seat and they'll bring it to you. When you're done, you bus it yourself. Pleasant staff - I don't regret tipping, although they don't do much. (As others have mentioned, if you get a cup of water, Tully's generously gives you a decent sized Solo cup - another plus.) It's fine. If you go, at least get yourself some cookies - they're pretty good.

    I have had Craft Q on two occasions. I do believe I am ready to give them my unadulterated review…read more I can't give a 3.5 on the stars, but that is my rating! Their food is good. Their brisket, I really enjoy. It is fall apart tender, but it doesn't fall apart. Which I appreciate. It separates nicely when bitten into so you are not pulling a piece of brisket out when you are biting into your sandwich. The sandwich is jam packed with a generous serving of the brisket so I can't complain about that. I've only had the pleasure of the having the beans, and cream corn casserole among the sides. I can vouche for the tastiness both of them. The beans could probably be replicated, but the corn casserole is pretty unique in my opinion. I really liked it. Something like a corncake with bits of corn scattered through out. The sandwich alone is $13 or a combo for $15 which includes a side. I little on the high end in my opinion, but you won't be hungry when you are done. The only other fault in my opinion is the temperature. Both times I had them, my brisket was luke/room temp. Not really very warm at all. I dunno, but depending on your circumstances, you could always bring it home and nuke it! Sorry, no pics, I scarfed it both times without a single snap!
