    This is an awful, dirty restaurant. I've tried it twice now, about a year apart, in hopes that the first time was just a bad night for them. It was not. The restaurant is open seating, but there are no signs telling patrons this, so people will come in and stand around, like we did, until the single server notices them and tells them they can grab a seat anywhere. There are six tables that seat four people and one table that seats two. There are also four barstools along the bar for a total of thirty seats. There are no stairs into the venue so patrons in wheelchairs or with mobility issues will be fine accessibility-wise. The menus were sticky, the tables were sticky, our glasses were dirty with lipstick that hadn't been fully washed off, and the place had an overall grimy feel. I had the yellow curry fried rice, which was somehow both sour and extremely bland. The curry spice was what tasted sour; I haven't had any like it before and was thinking perhaps the spice went bad. The entree as a whole was very unappetizing. My companion ordered the pineapple fried rice and said he'd give his 1 star because it was extremely bland as well. The sodas we ordered came in a can with a cup of ice. The restaurant had one server for the dining room who was also in charge of busing the tables and coordinating to-go orders. He was friendly, but the owners had done a disservice by only having one staff up front, as he couldn't keep the place clean. Having tried this place twice, I'm confident in saying I wouldn't go back.

    93. Pad Eggplant with chicken

    We had a wonderful meal with great tasting food and service. The place is small and kind of a hole in the wall but don't let that fool you. They put out great food. We started with vegetable fried egg rolls with a sweet sauce. Perfect to share for two people. My wife got the pad eggplant with chicken. I got the noodles with a sweet sauce, veggies, and pork. Both excellent choices. We have not had Thai in over a year so we are glad we stopped here.

    This has to be one of the best Thai food places in Albuquerque. I tried some of the best pad thai and fried rice in the area and at a very reasonable and affordable price. They offer an amazing combination of flavors and an infinite amount of items to choose from. It's so conveniently located both for dining in and to order delivery which is a huge plus for me when I am trying to decide where to eat.

    Spring rolls. Little filling, no flavor.
    Judi D.

    I really wanted to like this place. It came highly recommended by a friend who appreciates Asian food, so I'm going to guess that the day I went was just an off day, either temporally or physically. I'll come back again and maybe try other dishes but this was disappointing. I don't want to yuck anyone's yum, but "Huh?" My friend was so enthused abt the Pad Thai here. All I came away with was: about what? There was no flavor. To any of it. Not enough to dislike, and nothing to like. And for someone who doesn't like heat, I was mixing the hot chile sauce, adding fish sauce so I could taste *something*. Got the spring rolls as an appetizer, and altho not fried (yea!), it felt somewhat dessicated; like someone had ordered it at 1130, was perhaps rolled at the time of order, but then they changed their mind so it was put aside, uncovered, until I came along at 2:30 pm. I did get their egg rolls as part of the lunch special but I wouldn't hv ordered that anyways, so not fair to judge I guess, but a small dry serving without substance. I was quite hungry when I arrived and my eyes are always bigger than my stomach, so i ordered the crab fried rice too. My favorite among my order, but, not a high bar there. It's the only thing I took away with me - along with little tubs of fish sauce, hot chile oil, and packets of soy sauce. I will say this: it tasted better the next day. My server/hostess was fantastic, an absolute doll. She was attentive and sweet. The restaurant was clean, the ambience pleasant. Hence the 3 stars. It wasn't offensive in any one way; I just wish I enjoyed my food and could say that it was satisfying but as yet, I can't say I recommend this place. Another positive: the restroom was clean. But I hope to return and discover what makes some rave about it.

    Pineapple Fried Rice, no tofu extra veggies.
    Nicole O.

    I have meant to review this favorite of mine for years!! This is one of the few gems that survived the pre-Mayor-Keller-ART-fiasco. For this, I'm forever grateful. For the company reading this: those were hard years for all businesses on Central and you stayed in the game and that takes loyalty to our city, and you'll forever have mine for that! When I was a meat eater their beef was always on point in all their dishes. Their chicken cooked to perfection never raw or dry. Something about this place is that you can get your meals at the spice temperature you desire. Like green curry but want it HOT as red? They can do that! My go-to is pineapple fried rice. Now that I don't eat meat, when I ask for extra veggies (no tofu) they load it! Extra cabbage, broccoli, pineapple, and nuts. It's perfection. My boyfriend got the green curry with tofu. Green has the most veggies in it but he got it mild and was beyond impressed because it's "hard to get a hot green curry" (his words. I'm trying to get him to be a yelper). I always get the fried spring rolls but never get to take a photo of them because they are so good!!! Their delivery is always packed to perfection taking extra caution that things don't spill. But if you want to dine in, they have plenty of off-street parking behind their building. The little diner inside is always clean and well staffed. Someone always greets you and it will be a rare day you wait for something to drink. Even the entry way is set up to help the average customer, grab an Alibi Magazine to see what's going on in town if you're visiting! You have tons of options for Thai food on Central (Thai Vegan, Thai Orchid, etc), but I suggest Thai Cuisine II all day, every day, over ALL the others. Their price points are lower, their portions are plenty, the food is fresher, and they never disappoint with their vegan/vegetarian options. 10/10 would return and recommend.

    Panang curry with white rice.
    Kim A.

    So far I've only had the Panang curry but it was the best Panang curry I've had in Albuquerque - and possibly anywhere. I ordered mild with white rice on the side. The mild was pretty spicy so maybe start off mild and work your way up. I also had shrimp added and they were surprisingly fresh tasting and perfectly cooked. Veggie egg rolls came with the meal and they were tasty. Service was very friendly and attentive. My husband loved his noodle dish too so we plan on coming back and trying more things!

    Cruising Central Ave we came across this place. Deceptively small - looks bigger than what it is. The dining area is large, but there are only 10 tables with room for more. No wait for a table - late lunches are always good, no crowd. But the aroma emanating from the kitchen helped whet my appetite. Ordered from the lunch menu to simplify things. Curry sounded good so Pa Nang Curry with Pork & Red Curry with chicken. Both came with egg rolls. Vegetarian egg rolls came out first good, not overly hot from cooking so they were ready to eat. This was closely followed by our meals. Both curries were excellent. We ordered them "medium heat" and they were within the range I would expect medium to be. The Pa Nang doesn't have bamboo shoots, but it was loaded with zucchini instead. Our bowls weee pretty big so we took enough home for another meals. For the quality and quantity served it was well worth the cost.

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.

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.

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.

What I loved is that they spared no expense on ingredient quality, they even used cashews rather than cheaper nuts like peanuts. Each veggie was cooked perfectly and they actually put tomato which I've never had in fried rice but man it was good! Believe it or not the pad Thai was only 5/10, not too bad; nothing to write home about. I was surprised about that since every other item blew my socks off. What might have been the worst part of the pad Thai was the regular chicken was dry and chalky. Most Thai places have thinner softer chicken they use, luckily for the other meals I had shrimp which was really good and fried chicken which was also really good I'd love to try more of their food,
