    Minor Pho Kup
    Howard B.

    Perfect Pho cafe. Friendly staff P.Dob was great with helping my Granddaughter & boyfriend to make the perfect choice. His recommendations were right on target. They were very happy with the quality of the food received. Portions were just right, even had to take some home for dinner. We had the Amore Pizza while family had this choice, something for everyone here. The Tin Can Alley was perfect venue to walk around in while waiting on food. Family enjoyed the arcade upstairs & NM tourist shop. Brewery on site had great beers.

    ### Arrived 30 mins prior to closing, no Pho available - cleanup had already started in preparation for closing Ordered a pork Bánh mì sandwich and a shrimp spring roll with coconut water Overall taste was a disappointment, lacking fresh ingredients and sandwich portion was skimpy. Spring roll was the same. Blah. Uninspired food. A disappointment overall. Atmosphere in the food court was clean, upbeat, and festive ...

    Pho size is great. 32 and $2 more for 64 oz varieties

    Pleasantly surprised with the decent Pho here at Tin Can Alley. This is actually just one shop in this little structure of multiple restaurants with a central seating area. It's kind of like a standalone food court from a mall but way more fancy and cool. The Pho itself was tasty with a pleasant flavor and a nice selection of options for making it. It wasn't blow your mind amazing or anything (Unless you are really craving it in which case it might be that comfort you've been looking for as it was my wife), but it really was well crafted and especially for the price of the large, a great deal. It probably wouldn't even be as high rated in my opinion if it wasn't for the cool venue that it is in. Of course if it had its own establishment it would probably be able to be just as interesting, but coming to this location is worth it on its own. The local shops with some cool ice cream, barbeque, pizza and brewery attached means that even if you weren't in to Pho you could come here with others and they could get one of the other shops.

    Delicious pho! I had the veggie pho with tofu and rice noodles. Probably the best veggie pho I've had and the best vegetarian option within tin can alley. The broth was very flavorful and I liked the pieces of tofu inside. My friend really enjoyed his pho. I tried a bite of the egg noddle and it was a nice chewy texture. Our food came out very quickly and we were prompted with a little buzzer device. Tin Can Alley itself is a nice spot to hang out with beautiful views of the mountains, but the music was a bit too loud with booming bass. If you go to tin can alley you can't go wrong with eating here (although some other reviews don't seem too high on the banh mi - something I didn't try).

    I have driven past several times, and keep saying that I want to go here. Well, today we stopped. We each got a medium Pho with beef brisket and beef broth. I got the the rice noodles, and the other was with udon noodles the 16 ounce cup was packed to the rim with lots of meat and noodles, and some green onion, jalapeño pepper slices, and cilantro. It was flavorful and very filling. The spring rolls were delicious. The place was clean and decorated nicely. The service was quick, all freshly made, and the two people working there were very helpful and pleasant. I wish them much luck. The food is definitely worth the trip.

    You know as far as the pho goes Pho Kup is pretty middle of the road, I ordered the Major Pho cup with rice noodles and rare steak in a lemon grass beef broth. It had a lot of noodles and a decent tasting broth, and for the price was a good portion of food but it wasn't especially memorable. However the fact that it's in Tin Can Alley gives it an extra star, the fact you can get beer or other snacks gives it the support it needs. Ultimately I'd come back but not necessarily for their Pho it's good, not blow your mind amazing.

    Slurp slurp what more can I say Their pho is amazing with a subtle smoky, sweet tang broth. Pho is all about the broth and Pho Kup has crafted it perfectly. The broth is light and clean with noodles that are not overly cooked. I ordered the raw beef pho and I just can't rave enough about it

    Before I dig into reviewing the food, this must be declared: that's a pretty punk rock title, y'all. It's more than tongue-in-cheek, more than Schitt's Creek, it's juvenile and just a teensy bit anarchist, and it makes me want to eat some damn soup. The branding here is dope, too. So something feels a little, I dunno, sacrilegious, about ordering phở in a food court. I've spent my entire life making obscene slurping grunts, suffering insanely spicy bowls in tiny brothels all over the country. That's how you're supposed to do phở, it's ramen's garage band, served up with foreign bits and pieces of tongue, gristle, blotches of blood on the surface. With Pho Kup, it's almost as if this Vietnamese soul food has signed with a major record label, landed on commercial radio and straight up sold out. But hey, like The Clash, selling out can be a very good thing for the world at large, and these guys represent. I thought the noodles were weak and the chicken was small and sparse (I prefer big chunks of pollo, thanks), but the spicy beef broth bordered on excellent, even if it was missing some accents, like star anise. Overall, the anticipated sides -- jalapeno, bean sprout, basil -- weren't plentiful enough, but whatever, here's the deal: there was a line for this food. There were all sorts of Burqueños shoveling chopsticks into kups throughout Tin Can Alley. New Mexicans are getting into this food, and that, my friends, is a great thing, because phở is some of my favorite food on the planet, and everyone deserves a taste of life's greatest music.

    Delicious flavors and options! The location is a total vibe! Phô Kup is located at the new area called Tin Can Alley, a fun place made of metal storage containers with several indoor and outdoor seating options. Lots of great colorful art throughout and and wonderful new addition to the Albuquerque dining scene. Phô Cup is another delicious addition from the local entrepreneur Dipo, who also owns The Potato Corner, The Paleta Bear, & Spring Rollin! I had the minor size order of Phô w rare steak, spicy lemongrass broth, rice noodles, and all the veggies. The price is reasonable and the flavor is incredible! No shrimp options available. I look forward to coming back soon!

The cold cuts were flavorful, the bread was fresh, and the meat to bread ratio was just right since I like more meat than bread. This is an excellent option for a quick lunch, but I would recommend staying to eat if you can. The decor is simple, the space is clean, and there are a few tables available. It does get busy during the lunch rush, but the line moves quickly and is well worth the wait. While the banh mi definitely steals the show, there are plenty of other options on the menu. Their banh cuon, thin rice noodles filled with ground pork and wood ear mushrooms, was good, though still second to the sandwiches. They also offer pate chau, a flaky puff pastry filled with pork pate, including a New Mexico style version with chicken and green chile. They have a variety of Vietnamese desserts like che, which I did not get a chance to try this time. My coworker loved their traditional Vietnamese hot coffee. I do not drink coffee, but I did enjoy one of their smoothies, which was refreshing and delicious. Overall, CODA Bakery is a go to spot for authentic Vietnamese flavors and one of the best places in Albuquerque for banh mi.

I have never seen such teamwork to be served, ice tea refilled and keep things moving. The servers work as a team! I feel good when I leave because the food is delicious and fulfilling. I've had their Won Ton Soup, which is very reasonably priced. But mostly I go for their noodle bowls, which are excellent. I get a combo beef and eggroll--delicious. I also recommend their chicken spring rolls, which are unique and tasty. Otherwise, their selection of spring rolls are a bit limited. I think Viet Taste serves the best iced tea in Albuquerque. It's really good! The food and service have been consistent over several visits. I feel good when I finish my meal!

No attempt at Vietnamese authenticity; instead, corners are cut with cheaper or maybe less challenging (for American palates) ingredients. Truly not great. I've experienced this before in Europe, where some ingredients aren't available locally or they are afraid to insult local tastes. But Albuquerque has a significant Vietnamese population, great local supply of everything. There are so many good Vietnamese restaurants in Albuquerque, but this is not one of them. If you want dumbed down, flavorless food that won't challenge you, this is it. It is clean and pleasant here.

I called to place an order through "Bamboo by Kulantro" with a very friendly staff member. He was just as friendly when I picked up my takeout on November 25, 2025. My "takeaway" entree was the Bamboo Bowl ($18.12 with a card). It entailed "vermicelli noodles, spring mix, crispy garnish, peanuts, house sauce, crispy egg roll cut up into pieces, two grilled shrimp, and my choice of protein: grilled beef. While there was an enormous amount of vermicelli noodles which I could not finish, the rest of the entree had great portions of the rest. My dog even enjoyed much of the beef I offered her. (I washed the spice off.) If you have gluten, peanut allergy, vegan preferences, etc. - those requests can be honored. Inside, the restaurant was no frills, but a mostly quiet, clean environment. It seemed nice. Recommended for a healthy, quality meal with friendly service!
