We came here looking for good Korean food but was quickly disappointed by the storefront mentioning "ramen, poke, and grill". We decided to still try it out since we were pretty hungry. Xuan Asian is a clean little shop with some indoor seating and a front counter to order. We were seated immediately and served our waters. Menu doesn't seem like they had any Korean food; mainly Japanese. We got the Black Tonkotsu ramen and Combo Seafood Tempura bento box. Food came out pretty quick. I was blown away by how aromatic the garlic in the ramen was. -0.5 points for not having any black truffle oil though. Overall ramen is some of the best I've had in Abq. Bento box was a pretty large portion with tempura being super light and crispy. Yum! I'm very impressed with the quality of food and can't wait to try out the rest of their menu! read more

Sushi and ramen are amazing and tasty!! Definitely my go to spot!! Service is on point!

First of all, the food here is always fire! I have a food allergy and I always get good counsel on what is safe for me (sauces). I have never had a negative reaction. The restaurant is always very clean. They are friendly to all- tonight we picked up a to go order and while we were waiting (never long, they're always fast) a toddler walked in with his family and on entering, immediately yelled, "Hello!" He was greeted warmly, and it seemed like the little one already knew he would be. But tonight tops all of that! It's after 9:00 and our doorbell rings. Husband answers and it's Xuan Asian! I had somehow left my license there and HE BROUGHT IT TO OUR HOUSE! As I said, we got take out and I'm sure they didn't have my number or any other way to get in touch with us. I didn't even know it was missing and who knows how long it would've been until I noticed. The man saved the day! He wished us a happy holiday and went on his way. Seriously, SERIOUSLY nice people here. Food is all gone, so I'll have to post pictures next time we're in, but I wanted to leave a review here right away because you can't get better service than that! read more

This is another little hole in the wall place that I . I love the fact they poke (one of favorites from Hawaii) and Korean dishes. The service is attentive and friendly and I love when they watch your cues. They a decent selection of drinks from Japan and also American favorites The mixture and fusion shown is a great roll of the dice that pays off for your palate. I tasted everything that my table partners got and didn't find anything I didn't think wasn't amazing! I can't go wrong here! read more

The food is great and the staff is better! Very friendly, fast, and the food is always fresh. It is one of our main spots as a family.

Bento with Tempura and Bulgogi is my favorite here. The ginger dressed salad is exactly what I am used to in Asia. I highly recommend!

Great food in a clean, friendly environment. Food was fast without being typical "fast food"

I have wanted try this place for a while now. Very glad I did! A cute little restaurant tucked in a strip mall. Everything was clean, bright and cheerful with litter asian accents. We started with the Baked New Zealand Mussels and Chciken Karaage. The mussels were excellent! Lots of crab meat and d amazing flavor. The chicken was very good but not a lot of flavor on their own. The special mayo sauce made them pop. For lunch my friend had the chicken teriyaki bento box and I had the Japanese fried chicken bento box. The portions were very generous with tempura shrimp and vegetables and your choice of rice with a small charge to upgrade from white rice. The teriyaki chicken was delicious! The temperature was very good. I was a little disappointed with the fried chicken as it was just more of the same chicken as the appetizer we just ate. All the food was served hot and quickly. Our servers were pleasant and attentive. We enjoyed our visit and will be back for more! read more

I haven't eaten at Xuan Asian for a few years and I'm glad to see that their food is as good as ever. I got a JFC (Japanese fried chicken) bento box filled with generous portions of delicious chicken pieces, shrimp and vegetable tempura, steamed rice, and salad with a fantastic ginger dressing, plus a small bowl of miso and tofu soup as a starter. Everything was excellent. Service was friendly and helpful, too. A good choice on the Westside! read more

I actually found this place by mistake I was absolutely amazed at this place. The ramen noodles were delicious and soft (unlike the packaged kind) the broth was nutritious and the ramen bowl itself was large. The place was clean and service was friendly would definitely recommend. read more

Came here with some friends and was pleasantly surprised with this place. It has an array of drinks displayed and a live kitchen. The dining area is minimalist but clean.

I was fat shamed here today. And I'm not even fat. However, I ordered three things. The third being a to go order. And I was told by my waiter who claimed to not speak English well stated this very well...'that was way too much food for me'. That is something for me to determine. Not something for the waiter to decide. However, I e decided to not frequent this place because sometimes I feed others and I would hate for them to say more about me ordering additional food.

I came to Xuan Asian for the first time. I ordered the vegetable tempura and the Veggie Paradise Ramen ordered spicy. The food tasted alright but there was little variety in the tempura vegetables. As I was eating, Their food delivery was taking place and I was dismayed to see that they use boxed ramen soup bases, several different flavors! They may taste alright but this is cheating in my opinion! Where can I go in this town to find ramen broth that is not only good but made from scratch? The restaurant was clean and they promptly cleared tables as people left. The restaurant has a pretty sparse and bland atmosphere though. read more

Food is really good, service was slow but there was only one waitress and she was slammed. Restaurant is bright and clean, felt like a hole in the wall near Chinatown I used to love. read more

Great take out place Sushi Burritos and Poke Bowls are awesome. Order ahead or dine in, but not much atmosphere read more

Do not order the Korean spicy chicken- it's just dry bland breaded and fried chicken. It's the worst dish I've ordered at a restaurant in a loooooong time. I took a few bites and threw it away. I hate wasting food but it wasn't worth the calories. The sushi roll was ok but too sweet. Bf liked his short rib bento but they put the ribs on a large bed of onions to make it look like more meat than it really is. Will probably not order from here again. read more

Small hole in the wall Asian restaurant. When we walked in, we were greeted by the friendly staff. We ordered the Takoyaki Balls as an appetizer. I was not a fan of the sweet mayo sauce, but the rest of the ball was pretty good. The octopus did not have too much flavor, but the texture was nice in comparison to the fried ball. I got the Black Tonkatsu Ramen. The egg was definitely not a soft boil and since the yolk was cold on the inside, I could tell it was boiled and refrigerated at some point. The flavor was good overall. My husband hot the Bulgogi Beef Noodle Plate. The meat was scarce and really felt like it was there to add a little flavor to the noodles. The noodles were well made. We plan on visiting again and trying some of the other menu items. read more

We are new to the neighborhood and were in search of a new poki spot. Incredibly thankful Yelp lead us here. Something for everyone in the family, online ordering and easy pick up (they also have delivery) The bento box was HUGE and all items were high quality and delicious. I'd never had a sushi burrito and it was outstanding!! They even accommodated my changes. They will be our new GO TO spot for poki, bento, sushi and Asian grill. read more

WOW. i was traveling and found this place online. it's a small little shop w very limited seating. the service was a bit slow and it took a while for everyone to receive their food. but once it came out, it was hot and fresh and so tasty! the staff was gracious and hospitable. it definitely gets busy here and for good reason. the portions of food are GENEROUS. and the ramen is amazing. i had the volcano tonkatsu and it's got the perfect kick w super soft noodles and pork belly that melts in your mouth. the broth is beautifully done. i'm from california and get ramen pretty consistently and this place would easily run other businesses out over there because of how delicious the food is. i seriously recommend if you're a patient person. because the food is so worth the wait. it will definitely become a stop for me every time i travel. read more

Xuan Asian - Volcano Tonkatsu Ramen Soup - Korean Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Out of all the ramen around town, this one is by far my favorite. My boyfriend usually goes in to pickup the food so I've never been inside and can't speak for the restaurant itself. The pieces of pork in the ramen are actual thick tasty cuts of meat. Very filling and very delicious. Great for the price you pay. read more

The food was really amazing well seasoned and it was made really fast , the vegetables rolls were really good with the sauce that came with it, but extra pork belly should be a must if your getting the ramen read more

First time visitor 8/5/2023. I was out on a motorcycle ride on a hot day and wanted something fresh and cool to eat. I found this place. Had a poke bowl that was very delicious. For the price, the fish was overflowing. They did not short change the items in the meal. The service was very friendly and the order was filled promptly. I will be back. Let make these guys famous. read more

From my fist bite my taste buts were confused with the WHAT, WOW AND DAAAMMMM! This place is the BOMB! This NM SUSHI BURRITO WAS , I can't explain how delicious this was. I was supremely surprised by the mixed thoughts of the yummyness. The sweet green tea topped it off. Wow,,,,as for the Ramen bowl, as expected it was in the right place right time. I had the TONKATSU . Full attention from the cook was taken. This is our new spot for sushi and ramen bowls. I will be back to try everything on this menu (less vegetarian stuff) Now as for the staff? We were seated immediately and immediately greeted. Our order took about 8 minutes to hit the table. We never ran out of teas or water. Definitely caring about our experience and it was a wonderful experience. read more

Past by at lunch time decided to go in. Glad I did place is delicious, and the kids liked it too. I had the black tonkatsu ramen if you like garlic I recommend. Large portions had to take the rest home. Will go again when I'm on this side of Albuquerque. read more

Had this for the first time tonight. It was freakin awesome. I highly recommend!! I would've taken a shot of the food but I ate it too damn fast! read more

I need to provide a four-star review based on 2 ordering experiences. Both times I have ordered sushi rolls to go. The rolls have been not only delicious, but also they are large and well-made with top-quality ingredients. I do hope to sample more of their offerings, and in-person in the future. Ordering via their app is easy, and they offer the ability to order while paying in person - which I appreciate so that I don't have to add my credit card details online. read more

Great fresh tasting food. I ordered the beef bulgogi bowl, edamame, and more.... All that I ate was gone by the time of this review so no pictures. I liked that the location was on Unser right off I-40. read more

We ordered from this restaurant via Grubhub. Quite disappointed. We are quite the poke enthusiasts, especially since I'm married to a Hawaiian and our love for poke originates from the islands. But I digress... on to this review. Food tasted good, flavorful. BUT, the portion sizes for the price are pretty bad. I honestly can't believe we spent almost $50 for what we received. The sushi burrito was VERY small for $17.95. My husband was pretty disappointed. My poke bowl tasted good but the toppings were the skimpiest I've ever seen at a poke place, especially for a large size. I think I could have counted the kernels of corn. I don't ever see us returning or recommending this restaurant. We could have and should have just gone out to a nice restaurant for the price we paid. read more

Service and food is good, the prices are a bit outrageous in my opinion. The food was fresh and tasty but honestly you can get the same or even better quality for less at a reasonable price elsewhere. I'm not saying don't try it, I'm sure you will enjoy the food. I'm just saying that there is nothing exceptional to write home about. Maybe I will try it again sometime and give you another opinion. Go try and let me know what you all think! read more

They thought I wouldn't notice this cause it's a burrito and I can't see in.. well, it's still hard when you try to bite it.. They put a large portion of lobster shell in my burrito instead of meat.. not even kidding. read more

I was excited to hear that they finally opened, and needed to try out everything! ...Well almost everything! I ordered through their website which was very easy to use. Everyone was so sweet when I went to pick up my order. The food: The Takoyaki Balls was a great starter. This is one of my favorite Japanese snacks so this satisfied it! The Black Tonkatsu Ramen & Tonkatsu Ramen was so rich in flavor. I appreciate that they separated the broth from the noodles so it would not get soggy. The Chicken Karaage Bowl is simple yet delicious. The chicken was super crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Xuan Asian Bowl is a great option if you love tuna, salmon, albacore, and crab meat. The 'build your own bowl' that I made was similar to the Xuan Asian bowl but I added spicy bulgogi beef instead of albacore, I also added more toppings such as seaweed salad, edamame, avacado, mango, and with eel and Xuan Asian sauce. I love the build your own bowl option because you're able to pick the items you like! Overall, all of the dishes we ordered was delicious and flavorful! I'm happy that there is a poké and ramen place near us! read more

I love ramen, but my better half greatly prefers poke. Xuan Asian's menu thus becomes an immediate favorite in our house because we can both resolve cravings in a single stop! Raz and I have been debating the rating since our first visit, and since we couldn't decide we had to keep going back to make a well-informed decision. We'll give our thought process on our rating here: Ramen: Black Tonkotsu: good but does not amaze. Every last topping was seriously yummy, but the broth and noodles didn't stack up in comparison. This might be related to the transport time, and we may find this completely amazing when we are finally able to eat it freshly prepared. Veggie Paradise: amazes. I don't like tofu, but Raz tells me that topper was particularly well prepared. The broth, however, made me seriously want to switch bowls with the better-half, and somehow even the noodles seemed to have a slightly better texture, despite identical transport time before dowsing with the broth and eating them. Despite all the carb content of the noodles, this bowl felt almost healthy with all the fresh veg inside, and that broth was pure heaven. Definitely a bowl to go back for. Poke: Ceviche Bowl: solid choice. We ordered with no cilantro because something with this much fish was all for Raz and he really cannot do cilantro at all. Xuan Asian was very good at making that adjustment and he couldn't taste even the hint of cilantro being nearby. He adored every bite of the bowl and found it filling as well as tasty. Kpop Bowl: intriguing option. This was my first ever experience of beef in a poke bowl, but somehow with the kimchi, ginger sauce, and spices it worked. The little pops of sweet corn added textural surprise, and the brown rice rounded out a solidly pleasant Korean/Japanese/Hawaiian fusion experience. Appetizers: Takoyaki Balls: tasty octopus delights. These little balls of batter and octopus were joyful little opening snacks, and a solid choice if you're driving by for a snack. Don't expect to get full on this dish, though, it really is just enough to whet your appetite. Monkey Balls: the best thing anyone has ever done to a mushroom. This appetizer is spendy, but it's a meal in itself if your appetite isn't massive. Also the combination of flavors is complex enough that even Raz has to slow down and savor these. This dish stands up well to the transport home, and the quality and composition of the dish remained consistent across multiple orders and devourings, so the flavor experience is no fluke. Bento: Seafood Combo Tempura Bento Box: a spendy surprise. Raz and I enjoy surprises, and the menu doesn't really say what items go into this combination. We definitely identified shrimp, sweet potato, zucchini, and onion all coated in tempura batter and fried to crisp perfection, but between the two of us we couldn't determine whether the last fried option in the box was chicken, fish, or little pieces of each. The side salad of crisp iceberg lettuce and shaved carrots was right off a public school lunch tray, until I added the surprise sauce included in the box and elevated those completely run-of-the-mill veggies to exotic delicacies. The prices on the Bento boxes are more than I can generally budget for a lunch for just myself, and the size of the box is almost, but not quite a meal for two people. The quantity and quality are likely worth the expense, but all of us customers would be well served with pictures or an explanation of what to expect from the dish right there on the menu. read more

I have a lot to try other than poke bowls like bento boxes, ramen, rolls, and sushi burritos! They are super nice people! read more
