    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

With the menu board, it feels like fast food less sit down style. Service has changed as well. Now, you place your order and PAY at the counter and seat yourself. You are asked to tip before you receive service. tipping is supposed to be base on quality of service. You do receive table service once your food is ready. The menu has changed as well. We loved the jerky and sticky rice, now gone! Fish cakes is new but it was too chewy and dry with little flavor. Shrimp cocktail and dumplings were good. This was the only Thai restaurant in town that served good Thai rice noodle soup similar to pho. Sadly it's no longer the case. It was bland! Traditional beef soup included meatballs, now gone. They also charge ridiculous prices for some add-ons such as crushed peanuts $2.00 per order!! Really, for 2 ppl we could have bought a whole jar. Service ended up being good especially since we were the only patrons. I low balled the tip at time of order and ended up giving additional tip in cash. Sadly to say, it's off our list of favorite restaurant in town. Probably will not go back.

    Disappointing first experience…read more Why would you call a customer and not leave a voicemail? For a first experience with Tokyo Bangkok, this was incredibly disappointing. My husband picked up an order that I had placed online. About 30 minutes after he picked it up, I noticed I had a missed call from the restaurant. The only voicemail left was essentially, "It's like a robot." Yes--that's the call screening...but why not leave an actual voicemail explaining why you were calling? Since I was still at work, I asked my husband to call the restaurant. We then learned that the main item we had paid for was never included in our order. I appreciate that you offered a refund for the missing item, but my husband specifically asked if the missing food could simply be delivered since it was the restaurant's mistake, and that request was declined. That was particularly frustrating. If the restaurant realized an item had been left out, why not clearly communicate that when calling? And if we hadn't noticed the missed call or followed up, would we ever have been notified about the missing item? Mistakes happen, but it's how a business handles those mistakes that makes a lasting impression. Unfortunately, this was our first experience with Tokyo Bangkok, and instead of leaving us excited to order again, it left a very bitter taste. I hope this was an isolated incident, but better communication and customer service would have made a significant difference
