    Ice coffee
    Wufi D.

    I've lived in this neighborhood for 2.5 years and had no idea this place was here.... SO FRICKING GOOD!!! Food was so fresh, tofu crispy!!! Service was great, place is very clean.

    Shrimp spring roll
    Genieen G.

    Wow! Let me start by saying that I was not sure what to expect since it looked not too busy and in a not too busy shopping center... that being the case, parking was easy to find. When we walked in we were greeted immediately and told to sit any place of our choosing. All spots were well lit and temp was just right all around. Bathroom was clean, which is always a plus! Finally the highlight... the food! We ordered shrimp spring rolls and a chicken bahn mi as appetizers... both were delicious. The spring rolls came with 2 HUGE rolls! The only thing I was sad about is that they did not give peanut sauce with the rolls which is my preference, but the dipping sauce offered was still tasty! As the main course, we had chicken stir fry noodles and a chicken and egg roll noodle bowl. Both were fresh and delicious! Absolutely will be returning several times over!

    Pho

    This place is tucked away in a small shopping center and can be easy to miss. With the numerous Vietnamese options in the city, it's a bit difficult to stand out, but Huong Thao's food is very good. The pho was hot and had good flavor. The stir fry shrimp was missing a little spice or something to help differentiate it from just sautéed shrimp and vegetables. The person who served us was very kind and attentive to our needs. I'm not sure that I would place this in the upper echelon of Vietnamese food in town, but we would definitely come back and try some of their other dishes.

    Mmmk this place is pretty good and has decent prices. The value is good here. I'm a big tea drinker, it's nice to have a place that has good tasting iced tea, not bitter or old but fresh tasting refreshing tea, this place has it. The spicy level is good, it doesn't hit you fast but will make you break a small sweat by the end of your plate. They have pork stuffed boneless chicken wings as an appetizer that are very unique and worth a try. There is some stiff competition when it come to Vietnamese restaurants in Albuquerque, this isn't the best but it does have a different taste.

    You must know the spring rolls look easy but they are not. They are delicious because of the…read moretexture of the wrap and the amount of soybean sprouts and noodles. The shrimp is crunchy and flavorful. This place rolls it when you order it because the wrap is not cold or hard. It's soft and room temperature. It's just perfect. The peanut sauce is creamy and has a slight taste of chocolate due to its creaminess. Service is friendly and quick. The ambiance is family casual with a conversation buzz. Pad Thai with lemongrass beef is in need of a few vegetables. The size of the pad Thai is huge . It has a sweet , citric and crunchy peanut flavor. The large portion of beef is not the lemongrass marinated beef. I ate it all and I'm satisfied. I will not order it again specially because their egg noodle lemongrass stir fry is substantially more delicious and loaded with fresh vegetables. The sticky rice and mango is so good I can't even describe other than freshly sliced sweet mango in a coconut rice pairing. Creamy and flavorful.

    The restaurant gets very crowded around dinner time, but luckily the wait time was reasonable…read more The soup for the pho is not too greasy, and it tastes neat and clean. If you prefer a thicker and stronger-flavored broth, this might not be your favorite. I recommend their lemongrass soup (bun bo hue). The noodles are thicker and chewier than standard pho noodles, and the soup has richer flavors. Their soup was not as flavorful as I would like, but this cleaner version surely will be more approachable.

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.

We stopped by early this Sunday morning and was pleasantly surprised that they have expanded the menu from mainly banh mi. The now have Pho and rice noodle dishes. B5 combo is a solid can't go wrong choice. All the protein was cooked well and seasoned nicely. Egg roll was good. Fish sauce is going to be the grey area because thats always personal preference, it was good, but would say more on the fishy side, which my fiance liked. Im used to my moms sauce which is more on the sweeter side. I also got an Vietnamese iced coffee and I will say it is probably the best Vietnamese ice coffee that I've had in thr ABQ area. Its was strong and nice and smooth. It wasn't too sweet. The reason why I say this is the best iced Vietnamese cofee I've had in ABQ is because other places, the Vietnamese coffee is bitter or its not balanced enough with flavor. At over $8 for a cup, it's pricey but if i need a Vietnamese coffee fix, this will be a good to spot. I will say they keep it really clean in there and the white esthetic was pleasing on this sunny Sunday while we were eating in there.

Typically I'd get a bowl of Pho but the temperature was about 100 so no Pho. I opted to try the Noodle Salad bowl w raw veggies and assorted cooked meats on top. (See pic) It was a good choice but it took longer to get that I expected. The desserts looked very tempting but I didn't have enough time so I'll try them on my next visit. (See pic) They had a big selection of Vietnamese cold fruit drinks and coffee drinks. Again, I'll be going back to try some. (See pic) The nice thing was that half the dining room had Vietnamese customers which I consider a good sign for authenticity. The place was very clean and attractive. The staff were extremely polite. My Noodle Salad Bowl came in a big paper bowl w a lid so I was able to eat half and take the rest home easily. (See pic.) It was okay but I wasn't crazy about it. I'll try a sandwich next time.

I called to place an order through "Bamboo by Kulantro" with a very friendly staff member. He was just as friendly when I picked up my takeout on November 25, 2025. My "takeaway" entree was the Bamboo Bowl ($18.12 with a card). It entailed "vermicelli noodles, spring mix, crispy garnish, peanuts, house sauce, crispy egg roll cut up into pieces, two grilled shrimp, and my choice of protein: grilled beef. While there was an enormous amount of vermicelli noodles which I could not finish, the rest of the entree had great portions of the rest. My dog even enjoyed much of the beef I offered her. (I washed the spice off.) If you have gluten, peanut allergy, vegan preferences, etc. - those requests can be honored. Inside, the restaurant was no frills, but a mostly quiet, clean environment. It seemed nice. Recommended for a healthy, quality meal with friendly service!
