    I have been wanting to stop by this restaurant for a long time now, and I'm so glad I found the time one Monday afternoon. The restaurant was empty, but welcoming and cute. Our server was very pleasant and helped us decide on our dishes. We started with the Buddha dumplings which were in a creamy and flavorful curry sauce 10/10. I always resort to drunken noodles to see if I'm going to like a place. I asked for the dish to be spicy and received a medium spice level, but delicious nonetheless 9/10. My friend ordered the special soup of the day which was a Thai beef noodle. He enjoyed every last bit of it! We also ordered panang curry to go, I got the chicken. It was so flavorful and I kept wanting more 10/10. Arguably my favorite dish. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes!

    Thai on canyon is very strange. I have been about 3-4x only because sometimes my thai food craving is extremely strong and I do not feel like driving to Albuquerque to satiate it. It is strange upon entering because I feel like I am letting myself in, I have never been greeted, I usually have to wait a long time to be seated or see waitstaff at all whether the restaurant is busy or completely empty. I always wonder do I grab a menu, do I seat myself, is the restaurant open? The ambiance is also strange, art hung on the walls that is very small for the walls and hung with tons of plastic hooks exposed and left where they have taken art down. The service is extremely slow, again, kinda like you are in a weird empty house unsure on how to proceed. Ambiance and service would get a 1-2 stars for me and that has been consistent with each visit. However, the food is flavorful, it has some depth at times depending on the dish and it tastes fresh. The sauces all seem sweet to me. I usually get the pad kee mao with tofu although I have tried and ordered various other things on the menu. It is satiating. It is neither great or upsetting. I do however get upset that they charge for rice even in dishes like curries that come with rice. So be aware no matter what you order rice is an up charge and they do not share this. We once paid $10 in rice unknowingly with a bigger party! Wouldn't have done this as we assumed rice came with the meals it is needed with... weird and would appreciate honesty around it costing extra. I am always left feeling weird after eating here and wishing I was better taken care of and felt more comfortable in the space.

    This was my first time visiting Thai on Canyon and it was a miss for me. If you like sweet Thai food that's overpriced, this is your spot. It definitely caters to the canyon road tourists who are looking for something different from all the New Mexican restaurants. Parking wasn't available nearby, so we had to walk a few blocks to get here and it's not the easiest walk if you're not wearing comfy shoes. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and has a decent sized patio in the front. The menu has a lot of your standard thai curries and noodle dishes. I had the Tom Yum soup and it was incredibly sweet and very off tasting. The Som Tum was also sweet and very americanized with no hint of spice whatsoever. The Pad Kee Mao was also sweet which at that point was no surprise, but I was disappointed at how it tasted more like Pad See Ewe instead of your standard drunken noodles. The noodles were also over cooked and mushy so they lost their noodle shape.

    Came in a Friday evening and got a seat immediately. They serve Thai tea here that is green! I ordered chicken pad thai.

    Quaint little restaurant in a cool old building on Canyon Road. The service was outstanding and we were seated immediately. We started out with an appetizer of Fresh Thai Rolls and they were very good. I had the Pad Woon Sen and it was delicious. My wife had the Pad Thai and hers was also very good. Definitely very good Thai food. We plan to go back!

    This place straight up sucks. I only go here when I'm absolutely starving and nothing else is open on my street. And I'm always disappointed. They're almost always late getting the food delivered, Or they forget something, or their portions get smaller. The one thing that keeps going up reliably is the prices. This food barely passes as bad Thai for Americans, let alone real Thai. Junk. Save your money. $21 for the attached fried rice today. It's not even a hearty portion. Pathetic!

    Ask the Community - Thai On Canyon

    Can anyone tell me about making a reservation at Thai on Canyon? I left them an email message since there's nothing about reservations on the website, and I haven't heard back from the restaurant.

    We called but didn't need reservations when we went, there was only one other table in use. We were very disappointed in the food and wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

    I have been here twice now, once in October last year and had the tonkotsu spicy ramen which was…read morepretty good. I came at night, it was pretty busy but quick service. I went again today for a late lunch and enjoyed some aspects of the meal. For one, it was just me and two other tables who closed out right when I was walking in. I was quickly sat, and proceeded to have pretty slow service to start. Once a server finally came back around 5 minutes later, he brought some delicious spicy/sweet peanuts to start. Returned less than a minute later to take my order, then proceeded to have great service afterward.. let me start with the spicy baby cucumbers: pretty tasty and a large serving, however I didn't think they were that spicy. The chile oil used is mostly oily with some not so spicy Chiles used (that could just be my heat tolerance) but nonetheless, they were delicious. The hot tea was fresh and he brought it out with water, which I appreciated.. I was however slightly disappointed in the Dan Dan Noodles, I didn't take a picture just because it honestly was served not too appetizing or picture perfect like most of the previous reviews. Everything was mixed together, and the meat was all in the bottom under all of the noodles. The flavor was pretty good, but I didn't get the normal Szechuan flavor or spiciness that I've had in the past at other places. I do love the fresh noodles, but the overall dish was a little underwhelming. I would have liked it to be a little more presentable, along with more of a noteworthy flavor other than meaty broth with some chile oil (again more on the oily side not so much spice). Overall, the experience was decent and good service. I will come back to try something else and maybe it just wasn't a dish for me.

    The food was great! We had the Szechuan tofu and Dan Dan Noodles. Both were very good. The server…read morewas attentive and we gave t our order very quickly. We will definitely be back.

This is a one-of-a-kind place, the Vietnamese fusion flavors are so delicious, the fresh herbs and vegetables pop with brightness alongside the perfectly prepared seafood and meats. We went for my husband's birthday and the Alkeme team made it an unforgettable evening. They gave him a free sparkling wine for his bday :) He ordered the sake pairing for the "sea" tasting menu, and wow, we've never tried sakes this innovative. You can tell the sakes were carefully selected, some more light, others more earthy, all of them excellent. I ordered the Sticky Business cocktail, and damn, it was amazing!! Their take on a tiki drink but less sweet, with a boozey foam and mango pearls. The service was wonderful. We got to talk to Chef Erica, which was very cool, and Vickie gave lovely descriptions of our dishes. They and our waitress made my husband's birthday so special. This restaurant in my opinion is James Beard and/or Michelin level dining. We loved everything about it. I highly recommend Alkeme, we'll never forget this special meal!

    A good Asian option in Santa Fe. The MaPo-style shrimp was excellent and easily the best dish I…read morehad. I wish it were offered as an entrée. The crispy cod was well prepared and layered with flavor. The carrot soup was a little bland. The colossal shrimp and pork belly came on a bright, fresh, and somewhat messy bed of slaw and greens, but the dish needed a little more heat or sauce to bring everything together. The shrimp were also slightly overcooked. Service was slow and a bit fussy at the same time. The dining room is tight, which seems to make it difficult for servers to flow through the space efficiently, so that may explain some of the issues.
