    Peanut curry with tofu
    Angie K.

    I kept hearing awesome things about this place and was so glad I went in to give it a try. I decided to branch out and try something different that wasn't the pad thai which is my go to dish. Instead I tried the peanut curry with tofu and it really hit the spot. Great flavor and lots of options for levels of heat. I went with medium and it was just right for me. The portion size was great, enough for a good sized lunch but enough to take home if you wanted something lighter. The staff was very friendly and gave us plenty of time to look through the menu to decide what we wanted. They were also happy to advise us on levels of spiciness. It's a very cute little spot and I'm very glad I tried it. I will certainly be back to try more and definitely to try the pad thai!

    Pad Thai, pot stickers, dragon fruit drink, lo mein noodles
    Tasha R.

    We had ordered take out on a Sunday since we came in late to town from a trip. Our food was still warm when we got home and packaged nicely. We hope to visit again and dine in on our next visit and have an updated review. Pad Thai was 4/5 a little dry but has all the right flavors and amount of each ingredients. Lo Mein Noodles 4/5 my husband liked it but the hot+ was not spicy enough for him. Potstickers 4/5 good amount for the price but nothing special about them. Dragon fruit drink 5/5 loved it not too sweet and added boba to it

    Chicken Satay - not enough chicken!!!
    Paul M.

    ***This review was for carry out only*** Ordered the food online and was told it would be ready in 40 minutes. I guess on a Friday night that is to be expected. Came and waited a bit longer still. Was very pleased with the food. All the dishes had good flavor profiles and a nice spice level. My favorite dish was the red curry. The drunken noodles were pretty good too. Ordered the chicken satay and the portion size was TINY!!! Came with three tiny strips of chicken. Won't order that again. The star of the dinner was the mango sticky rice. Got nervous when I saw it was made with black rice but it was AMAZING. Maybe next time we will dine in and I can comment on the service.

    Jungle Noodles
    Iliana C.

    Most importantly the jungle noodles were underwhelming. The noodles lacked the expected level of spice and did not reflect the flavors typically associated with Thai cuisine. Overall, this was a disappointing visit, and I do not plan to return. I visited for the lunch special around 1:00 PM, and the restaurant was not particularly busy at the time. I placed an order for the lunch special as the spicy jungle noodles. When my food arrived, I realized I had not been given any utensils. I waited approximately five minutes before the server returned, at which point I had to request them. This was the moment when I began to feel that the level of service was lacking. What stood out most was the noticeable difference in service provided to another table. A group of three seated nearby by the same server received a much more attentive and welcoming experience. They were promptly offered water, given the soup of the day, and encouraged to place their order right away. While I understand that regular customers may sometimes receive more familiarity, the disparity in treatment made the experience feel inconsistent and unwelcoming. As someone who works only a few minutes away, I was hoping to find a place I could return to regularly. Unfortunately, this experience did not encourage that.

    Beef Pad Thai
    Theodore D.

    I came in during lunch post rush around 1. Ordered a beef pad thai, it didn't take long to come out surprisingly. Luckily I got there before the next rush. Might a little walk with all the business and parking. The food was amazing, the taste was just right. It wasn't too sweet, which I find is a common problem but the taste was there. The portions also hit the spot, I didn't find myself wanting more and not overly full. My server was Sabrina she was very kind and welcoming answered any questions I had about the menu. I would definitely go back and try everything else that they have! It can get a little loud but its expected with a busy restaurant.

    Chicken satay
    Joop V.

    Sa Thai is a great restaurant! The food tasted more authentic than many other Thai restaurants around. They offered less available Thai food like boat noodles and khao soi that many Thai places did not have. I thought the taste was good. It wasn't 100% authentic but you can't really expect that when not all ingredients are necessarily easily available here in ABQ. The staff were kind and helpful. The only thing was parking was quite hard to find in the lot especially during lunch rush hours and the spot is on a smaller side; it may be suitable for perhaps upto 6 people, and if you are aiming for larger group than that, better try to get there/make proper reservation ahead of time!

    I thought the service was attentive, friendly and concerned (very aware of customers' piquancy level preferences) and the room and patio were very nice - the nicest of any restaurant in the shopping plaza, with lovely red flowers everywhere. Nice lagniappe ginger/tofu soup with rice - quite a large portion, too. The pumpkin curry (with tofu) was fantastic - one of the best curries I've had in my life. Green curry (with pork) was also very delicious - and was LOADED with pork and pork-y taste. Pricing was as expected for this type of food in this area, with lunch portions being priced a bit lower than full size entrees. My one visit to Sa Thai has me thinking this is one of the best Thai places in town. I'll be back for sure to try more!

    I went around lunchtime and was immediately seated. My server (Ploy) was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. My food was delicious and the Thai iced I had was thick but also really good. It was a nice experience with good ambiance overall. 10/10 would recommend this place and will be back again!

    Pumpkin red curry with chicken
    Angela G.

    I'm a HUGE fan of this place. Wow! The pumpkin curry and pad kee mow were both exceptional. Their flavors are so delicious and the chicken was tasty, not dry and perfectly cut. The vegetables and rice were cooked perfectly. I can't wait to return! Lots of tables, eat alone, get takeout, go on a date, or bring the family! Staff was so kind and friendly.

    Green curry
    Jenny S.

    Been coming here pretty consistently on my work trips to ABQ and the Thai food is good! ---boat noodles: flavorful and I asked to add vegetables and they were able to do this for me! ---khao soi: also flavorful and the crispy chicken on top was a nice protein ---green curry: my go to order at thai restaurants and they do it well Staff is always so friendly!

    Jeffrey G.

    Just a gorgeous pumpkin curry from these guys tonight. Excellent flavor, but not quite hot enough for me. I was annoyed that I had to drive over in rush-hour traffic (my mistake) and the place was quite a distance from my house, but by the time I sank my teeth into the food all was forgiven. Really delicious just I ordered it hot and it was medium at best. But it was perfectly cooked and the spices were outstanding. Next time I will specify Thai hot.

    Spicy Jungle Noodles
    Emma S.

    Sa is situated in the same plaza as Tamashi off of Holly Avenue. I went on a Monday night and the place was PACKED! And now I know why! Right when you walk in you get greeted warmly by one of the waitresses and get sat almost immediately. Menu is front and back but has all of the Thai classics plus some unique spins. I opted for the spicy jungle noodles which were exactly how I like them! I love that they use the really wide rice noodles and there were plenty of veggies. You can order anything mild, medium, or hot. They can even do the spice level in between mild and medium! I think this is gonna be my new go to Thai restaurant.

    Sticky Rice
    Lucia G.

    Delicious food and excellent service. I recommend the peanut curry and the sticky rice!

It was extremely busy and loud. I didn't wait in line to order, but it took them 50 minutes to prepare our salads. The service wasn't very friendly or helpful at first.

They were the best salads I've ever tasted which I why I'm giving three stars instead of less. My mom ordered the 505 Cobb and they forgot her chicken which was frustrating after waiting for nearly an hour. However, they did make up for it by making her extra chicken! And their chicken was absolutely delicious!! I ordered Persephone's Lunch which was outstanding. I added chicken to it which made it nearly $20 for a bowl salad.

Staff were walking around constantly, dusting and rearranging chairs to make sure everything looked nice for guests. Our server was wonderful, quickly bringing a little plate of bread with a garlicky tomato bruschetta spread and a bit of olive oil. I think the restaurant should swap for a nicer EVOO, but the complimentary bread was a nice tide-me-over while we looked over the menu. My only other note: cleanliness of the dinnerware. He found a food bit dried on his fork and requested a new one, but then (the exterior of) his wine glass was smudged with something crusty, too... Not the server's fault by any means, but definitely something we hope the restaurant will pay closer attention to in the future. I got chicken Parmesan, and he got the traditional gnocchi. The server was kind to accommodate my request for Alfredo on the pasta side, and we were both super impressed by the house made tomato sauce. My chicken was perfectly cooked, and the pasta wasn't overcooked - which was a marked difference from M'Tucci's (and other Italian-American restaurants we've tried in the ABQ area). We agreed that we want to return to Joe's because it was a quick, easy, affordable, and super satisfying meal. Thanks, Joe's Pasta House! See you again soon.

In a rare turn of events, both kids got the same thing, the Korean chicken bites with the sauce on the side, which was a great decision bc it did have a kick to it. The chicken itself was a bit dry. Both adults also got the pork belly flatbread. I found it a bit unbalanced with too much sauce and not enough other toppings, and the base wasn't as crispy as I prefer. Speaking of crispy, we opted for the appetizer brussel sprouts, and they were a bit chewy and on the not so super crispy side.

We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.
