Fei's brings the heat! And the flavor! For those who are wondering, this is not the same restaurant that was on Eubank and Candelaria. I'm not aware of wether or not the original owner is associated with the new owners. I do know that the food is very different. I have had the pleasure of dining here on several occasions and have tried quite a few menu items. All have been absolutely amazing! There are many Chinese restaurants in ABQ, but none offering truly authentic cuisine like Fei's. The chef is here directly from Chongqing, famous for its fiery Sichuan cuisine. And I'm here to tell you that there is nothing that compares in Albuquerque. The braised fish with sour cabbage has rich, complex flavors that rise above the intense heat. My personal favorite is the dry pot beef with potatoes. For a milder level of heat try the handmade noodles with beef brisket in original broth. The handmade noodles are really special. Oh and the dry fried green beans... OMG! Everything is amazing and made fresh in house. This is a true hole in the wall Chinese cafe serving food for the Chinese palate. Not Americanized Chinese food. A truly unique experience and highly recommended. Just go try it. You will be amazed! read more

Fei's Cafe is tucked in the north corner of the strip mall in the southeast quadrant of Candelaria and Eubank. I love sushi, and I saw a sign of 50% off on rolls. We went in on at Saturday when it opened, and seats filled quickly. Good sign! They indeed had part of the menu as 50% off for rolls. We ordered three of them and then a salmon and avocado roll. Our bellies were stuffed after four delicious rolls. You can see these four rolls in my pics. What should have been $56 came to $28 (before tax and tip). Over to one spot was unlimited soup for a set price. I would assume miso, but I didn't look. A large screen was playing a Japanese movie. Later they switched to a big pop concert of Asian artists. Friendly staff. I'm excited to go back and explore more of the menu! read more

The dumplings are off the chain!!! Omg, delicious! If this rating was only for dumplings, it'd be a 5. We also tried the sushi, which was justi was ok, probably a 2, salmon didn't taste very fresh... We tried the Singapore fried noodles too, and I give it a 2-3. Noodles were soggy and not as crisp as I like and the sauce was overpowering... I will for sure go back, but next time will only order dumplings The service was great, very friendly and enjoyed the craft of making the dumplings. Ambiance was typical, nothing really stood out. read more

Quality. Ordered eggplant in garlic sauce. Way too much sugar! Eggplant was cut into overly large pieces. Difficult to eat. First time ordering. Not happy. I'm Asian and this was unacceptable. read more

Very good food I love the korean fried chicken service is great. Great place I would recommend eating here for sure

This place is great as far as vegan and vegetarian selections- lots of food to try. It's also one of the few Asian places with more street food options in town. I got a combo meal, which is a great concept to have variety and be able to try lots of things. Unfortunately, the noodles and veggies are very plain, and some of the fried foods were greasy. I liked some of the flavors and the idea of it, but not the execution. read more

Fei's Cafe - Combo vegetarian meal with noodles, bao bun, sesame pancake, rice, and dumplings I think. - Taiwanese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This place doesn't gave a sign, at least not one saying "Fei's Cafe". The sign by the street says "Asian Food Tea Restaurant" and the sign above the door says "Sushi Dumplings", so I'd say they should work on their marketing, because the food was very good and I bet people don't go in because of bad signage. I got the fried noodles and spicy wontons, and both were delicious and healthy--not too oily and you could tell ingredients were fresh. Service was excellent and ambiance was surprisingly nice, not what you'd expect from the outside. A real hidden gem! read more

After visiting NM for a few days, I was missing home food and searched high and low for a good taiwanese restaurant. I can safely say that this is one of the best taiwanese meals I've ever had since coming to the US. Absolutely delicious, fresh and made to order. read more

Super good family style food!! My friend and I were full and had plenty of leftovers. The couple who runs the place are so nice and attentive. We went around 11:30 and were the only customers for a bit. Super casual ambience, perfect for a nice lunch stop. read more

Wonderful Taiwanese lady who runs this place. I've been looking for authentic Asian food and I'm so glad I found Fei's cafe. The lady used 5o run a restaurant near UNM but closed it down to temporarily return home to take care of her family...and is now back in business cooking Taiwanese street food in ABQ again. Te menu is small and a bit limited, mostly what you can get as street food in Taiwan (youtiao, xiaolongbao, pork buns, dumplings, etc). But..the catch is..she takes the time to cook the meals herself! It's homecooking and not storebought! So, given she has to cook things fresh and is the only one running the cafe, please be kind and understanding that it may take a while to get your food...but yes..this place is original Asian food..and helps curb my desire for authentic Chinese food quite effectively. P.S. the lady is so kind..My first time at the cafe, I spent some time having a conversation with her. She even gave me some free snacks that she just made ro try. The subsequent visits..shr already remembers me!! read more

Ordered a few things to go. Love the pork meat bun! It's very flavorful and a lot bigger than a Xiao Long Bao. The meat is juicy and very well-seasoned. Bun itself is moist and just the right amount of dough. I also ordered cold sesame noodles, fried tofu and pork stew rice w/egg. What a nice hidden gem in Albuquerque! Owner is very nice too. Everything reminds me of hin read more

This is a reliably tasty fav of ours for there 2 pork belly dishes but the recent visit may had been on a busier lunch rush since the pork belly stew over rice was unfortunately over cooked to the point of being similar to burnt tip bbq bits and since it's pork belly with skin on causing all the meat to become plasticky texture and I couldn't eat after a few bites, hope things are back to your best next time, I miss how it tasted before. read more

Owner very kind, came little bit after it opened for quick lunch before going back to work. Found on Yelp, first time. Always hoping for good Asian food around here. Went with the 3 filling dumpling special shrimp pork chives and pork stew rice with eggs at the recommendation of the owner. Cute, small place, little hard to find but you'll find it. Parking easy right out front. Food is delicious! Be patient, may take a bit as she makes it fresh. The dumplings were delicious, steamed not fried after steaming. Pork rice also delicious, with a tea egg I believe and a bit of cabbage. I moved to using a spoon because it was so good! Well priced, come support a rare Asian restaurant in abq! I'll be back to try the rest of the menu! PS take the recent one star review with a grain of salt, looks like she only comes on Yelp to air her grievances... every review but one is one star lol. Haters gonna hate. read more

It's been awhile since I've been here but I came for the vegan combo with beef seitan, rice, veggies, potstickers and bread. They no longer have the same menu, it's a completely different menu and includes beef, chicken, pork and duck. I'm sure they're great dishes but I was bummed that the vegan combo and vegan menu items are no longer available. This is the same restaurant that use to be located across from UNM. read more

This place has been one of my favorite find in Albuquerque! The owner and chef, Fei is such a nice lady who focuses on creating authentic Taiwanese small plates. Before coming to the US, she trained for two years at one of the best restaurants in Taiwan, and it shows when it comes to her dishes. The pork belly bun sandwich was so tender and flavorful. The dumplings are hand crafted with a meat, veggie, and seafood filling. They're some of the most delicious I've ever had. The stewed pork wouldn't be out of place in a market in Taipei. This restaurant would be a great place to bring a small group and order family style to taste all the delicious small plates. While the restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, it has a really cozy vibe inside with lots of Taiwanese landscapes and culture. Fei mentioned she has a Sunday brunch and I will definitely be back to try it! read more

It's a small restaurant owned by a Taiwanese lady. I went there for lunch. I was the only one there but it was nice because I got to talk to her a little bit. I ordered Taiwanese pancake, steamed dumplings and the pork stewed rice with egg. They were all very delicious and took me back to Taiwan for a minute there the pancake was especially my favorite. read more

Fei's Cafe - Pork Stew Rice with Egg - Taiwanese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

TAIWANESE STREET FOOD! The original version of Fei's was totally vegan so she really knows how to cook vegan food. Fresh house made soy milk and tofu. Great green chili steamed buns.

Pros: Mostly vegan, Authentic taiwanese food, Stinky tofu! Cons: Small menu, Not a lot of greens, Stinky tofu! read more

Went here for early lunch with my husband. We tried all the dumplings and we enjoyed it a lot. We also tried the scallion fried bread, it fresh and delicious. Stew pork and egg was great as well.

Fei's Cafe - Vegan combo with Special Seitan - Taiwanese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I used to frequent Fei's Cafe when I was a student at UNM. The food was so good, even though I wasn't a vegan at the time, and it was so affordable! I moved away for several years and was so disappointed when I came back home because I couldn't find it anymore. I noticed the sign as I drove by today and was shocked and so excited to find out it was the same place!! I am soooo thrilled that the food is 100% the same as I remember it! The owner is the same and she's such a sweet lady. And not only do they have all the vegan options, but they have some really good meat options for the non-vegans! My girlfriend, who isn't vegan, loved their beef noodle bowl and pork belly bun sandwich, along with all the vegan options. All the food is filling and absolutely delicious! I will be definitely going back on the regular now that I know where they are. Go local and support Fei's!!! You definitely won't regret it!!! UPDATE: Came back on Sunday to try some more things I never had before, plus some Sunday brunch specials. We tried the 油條 (Yóutiáo), which is like a long, unsweetened donut stick with the fresh, homemade hot soy milk and the 甜豆獎 (Tián dòu jing), which is like a hot sweet peanut, sesame drink. If you like soy milk, it was really nice to have fresh homemade soy milk! I ended up dipping the donut stick into the sweet peanut sesame drink and it was so good! My gf tried the steamed pork buns, which she said was really good, and I got the vegan steamed veggie buns, which were really good too! read more

We stumbled into Fei's unplanned and had an amazing authentic Taiwanese meal! I highly recommend the soup dumplings, the shrimp dumplings, and the chow mein. I travel to Asia regularly and this meal was spot on. read more

As far as I know, this is the only Taiwanese restaurant in the area (not sure about Rio Rancho side) so I feel like I'm being more generous with my review because of that. We happened to drive by and see it and immediately looked it up because we couldn't believe there could be a Taiwanese restaurant here. There was nothing online -- turns out, it's only been open a couple weeks! It's a small space right next to Great Fortune (they share the same bathroom - not sure if same kitchen too?). From what the owner told us, she used to run a vegan Chinese restaurant but has since added a few Taiwanese options that include meat. We dined here for lunch and had the beef noodle soup (niu rou mian), pork stew rice with egg (lu rou fan), pork belly bun sandwich (gua bao), green onion fried bread (cong you bing), boiled dumplings (shui jiao), and mini steamed pork buns (owner said these were xiao long bao but no, they were just small bao zi). Of everything, I would probably only come back for the pork stew rice because I love how it has some fatty meat (some places only use ground pork but not actual pork belly), but my husband did feel it was too salty, and the egg was way overcooked. The pork belly bun sandwich was pretty good, too. Everything else was only okay and some being pretty mediocre, and were it in LA or another city with a much larger Chinese or Taiwanese population, would probably not last very long. But, we're in Albuquerque and I need to take what I can get. I can see myself coming back for a quick lunch to go, and I really want to try their fried stinky tofu to see how it is (a favorite dish of mine that my husband can't stand!). read more

Always exciting to try places that offer vegan food. The options at fei's were overwhelming in a good way. I always crave steam buns so we went for it. I would have love a little bit more salt in mine. I think the cold sesame noodle are one of my new favorite. The seitan combo was amazing. And the fried bread was a great plus. Everything we had was tasty. We will be back. read more

The owner/cook said her food is better than a lot of restaurants in Taiwan... I don't know where she got her confidence. (smh) We ordered a few dishes and none of them were good or authentic. I rarely throw food away but I had to this time. I think this is the only Taiwanese restaurant in the area so I don't want to give it one star, but Ms. Owner/Cook, you REALLY need to improve your cooking skills. It's not that difficult to follow some good recipes. Most travelers rave about Taiwanese food when they visit the island so please try harder to make tastier food read more

By far WAY at least 10x better than the Chinese place next door! Everything that we ate was very authentic and tasted just like you were in Taiwan. The food was fresh, sauce is made in house, VERY affordable and everything on the menu is 100% worth trying! In some ways, I felt this was one of the best dining experiences I had in ABQ.The service is very good and the owner is very sweet. They are very passionate about their cafe and hope more people find out about this place. I'd definitely ask about the 培根蛋餅 Taiwanese breakfast pancake with bacon and egg. I asked Fei if she would make this and it was amazing! Tastes just like what I remember a 蛋餅 does in Taiwan. That item may be offered for a limited time, but it's worth asking Fei about it. 蛋餅 is such a signature dish of how amazing Taiwanese food is! read more

We went to dine in at Fei's yesterday during lunch time. It was not busy. There was another table on the other end of the restaurant. The owner was very friendly and energetic about having us dine in. The food was still fresh and tasty. We ordered a few dishes to share including BBQ pork buns and boiled dumplings. Because the dough was made in-house, it was fresh. The boiled dumplings with pork fillings were also fresh and well seasoned. read more

Tried for the first time today. Food and service were great! I recommend the beef noodle soup.

Small menu, but all the items are excellent. Chef obviously cares about serving food with love. Great prices too !

You call this Taiwanese breakfast egg pancake?? You got to be joking this is the worst I ever had.... need to do way better to charge that price... Taiwan prison makes better dan bin then that.... if you are Chinese or Taiwanese I'm sure you know what a 蛋餅is and what kinda sauce should be on it.

Fei's Cafe - Taiwanese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Worst Taiwanese foods I ever had! I went there for the good memory of the delicious foods when I visited Taiwan, plus trying many Taiwanese restaurants at different states in the US. Worst foods I have to say: 1) THe foods does not taste like Taiwanese foods at all. Worse than my 10-year-old son's cook. Not even called Taiwanese foods! 2) The dinning environment is not ideal. I actually was bitten by bugs inside of the cafe. 3) The bubble tea Boba tasted like fake. I have been trying many bubble teas at many restaurants, and this was the worst! 4) The foods were over-priced for its limited size. I would not recommend anyone to visit because of "Taiwanese cafe". It is NOT authentic Taiwanese foods, as a consumer who have been trying so many Taiwanese foods! read more

Solid joint. I don't like vegan food typically, so the fact that I ate it all speaks volumes. I had the seitan with a great cabbage and mushroom side and an amazing wonton type thing that tasted like salted popcorn. The roll that came with the combo was so good. I would definitely try it again read more

The owner and her daughter are lovely but the food was terrible. We actually had to leave our food behind as we couldn't even eat it. The only thing we were able to consumer was the bread. The service wasn't great either. We won't be going back. read more

Fei makes delicious vegan food. Our family used to frequent Fei's when she was on Central. We were thrilled when we saw her sign just a few weeks ago. The veggie nuggets are probably our favorite with a close second being the pot stickers. We have called and ordered twice during the Covid-19 public health order and the food has been just as delicious as it is in the restaurant. The veggie orange chicken is an awesome addition to the menu. read more
