    Excellent!

    Fei's brings the heat! And the flavor! For those who are wondering, this is not the same restaurant that was on Eubank and Candelaria. I'm not aware of wether or not the original owner is associated with the new owners. I do know that the food is very different. I have had the pleasure of dining here on several occasions and have tried quite a few menu items. All have been absolutely amazing! There are many Chinese restaurants in ABQ, but none offering truly authentic cuisine like Fei's. The chef is here directly from Chongqing, famous for its fiery Sichuan cuisine. And I'm here to tell you that there is nothing that compares in Albuquerque. The braised fish with sour cabbage has rich, complex flavors that rise above the intense heat. My personal favorite is the dry pot beef with potatoes. For a milder level of heat try the handmade noodles with beef brisket in original broth. The handmade noodles are really special. Oh and the dry fried green beans... OMG! Everything is amazing and made fresh in house. This is a true hole in the wall Chinese cafe serving food for the Chinese palate. Not Americanized Chinese food. A truly unique experience and highly recommended. Just go try it. You will be amazed!

    Combo vegetarian meal with noodles, bao bun, sesame pancake, rice, and dumplings I think.

    This place is great as far as vegan and vegetarian selections- lots of food to try. It's also one of the few Asian places with more street food options in town. I got a combo meal, which is a great concept to have variety and be able to try lots of things. Unfortunately, the noodles and veggies are very plain, and some of the fried foods were greasy. I liked some of the flavors and the idea of it, but not the execution.

    Super good family style food!! My friend and I were full and had plenty of leftovers. The couple who runs the place are so nice and attentive. We went around 11:30 and were the only customers for a bit. Super casual ambience, perfect for a nice lunch stop.

    Wonderful Taiwanese lady who runs this place. I've been looking for authentic Asian food and I'm so glad I found Fei's cafe. The lady used 5o run a restaurant near UNM but closed it down to temporarily return home to take care of her family...and is now back in business cooking Taiwanese street food in ABQ again. Te menu is small and a bit limited, mostly what you can get as street food in Taiwan (youtiao, xiaolongbao, pork buns, dumplings, etc). But..the catch is..she takes the time to cook the meals herself! It's homecooking and not storebought! So, given she has to cook things fresh and is the only one running the cafe, please be kind and understanding that it may take a while to get your food...but yes..this place is original Asian food..and helps curb my desire for authentic Chinese food quite effectively. P.S. the lady is so kind..My first time at the cafe, I spent some time having a conversation with her. She even gave me some free snacks that she just made ro try. The subsequent visits..shr already remembers me!!

    Ordered a few things to go. Love the pork meat bun! It's very flavorful and a lot bigger than a Xiao Long Bao. The meat is juicy and very well-seasoned. Bun itself is moist and just the right amount of dough. I also ordered cold sesame noodles, fried tofu and pork stew rice w/egg. What a nice hidden gem in Albuquerque! Owner is very nice too. Everything reminds me of hin

    Owner very kind, came little bit after it opened for quick lunch before going back to work. Found on Yelp, first time. Always hoping for good Asian food around here. Went with the 3 filling dumpling special shrimp pork chives and pork stew rice with eggs at the recommendation of the owner. Cute, small place, little hard to find but you'll find it. Parking easy right out front. Food is delicious! Be patient, may take a bit as she makes it fresh. The dumplings were delicious, steamed not fried after steaming. Pork rice also delicious, with a tea egg I believe and a bit of cabbage. I moved to using a spoon because it was so good! Well priced, come support a rare Asian restaurant in abq! I'll be back to try the rest of the menu! PS take the recent one star review with a grain of salt, looks like she only comes on Yelp to air her grievances... every review but one is one star lol. Haters gonna hate.

    Steamed Dumplings
    Ryan D.

    This place has been one of my favorite find in Albuquerque! The owner and chef, Fei is such a nice lady who focuses on creating authentic Taiwanese small plates. Before coming to the US, she trained for two years at one of the best restaurants in Taiwan, and it shows when it comes to her dishes. The pork belly bun sandwich was so tender and flavorful. The dumplings are hand crafted with a meat, veggie, and seafood filling. They're some of the most delicious I've ever had. The stewed pork wouldn't be out of place in a market in Taipei. This restaurant would be a great place to bring a small group and order family style to taste all the delicious small plates. While the restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, it has a really cozy vibe inside with lots of Taiwanese landscapes and culture. Fei mentioned she has a Sunday brunch and I will definitely be back to try it!

    It's a small restaurant owned by a Taiwanese lady. I went there for lunch. I was the only one there but it was nice because I got to talk to her a little bit. I ordered Taiwanese pancake, steamed dumplings and the pork stewed rice with egg. They were all very delicious and took me back to Taiwan for a minute there the pancake was especially my favorite.

    Authentic taiwanese street food made with love by the really sweet owner Fei. My favorite of what we ordered was the pork stew and rice.

    TAIWANESE STREET FOOD! The original version of Fei's was totally vegan so she really knows how to cook vegan food. Fresh house made soy milk and tofu. Great green chili steamed buns. Inquire with the owner about a limited selection of incredible Taiwanese vegan products like soy jerky, vegan chicken, tofu skin and other vegan meats. Pros: Mostly vegan, Authentic taiwanese food, Stinky tofu! Cons: Small menu, Not a lot of greens, Stinky tofu!

    Went here for early lunch with my husband. We tried all the dumplings and we enjoyed it a lot. We also tried the scallion fried bread, it fresh and delicious. Stew pork and egg was great as well. My husband told me we will be going back for the dumplings and he enjoyed the quaint ambiance of the place. The owner was nice as always.

    I have rarely had food so unappetizing and slowly prepared as that from Fei's. I do not recommend this place.
