I love the food here. It's amazing!! 5 What I don't love is, & the real reason for 3 the fact that when you call in an order, it's basically impossible! If you get through, you feel you've got lucky... I was on hold for 31 minutes. Hung up and called back. BUSY...Tone...BUSY...Tone... BUSY...Tone! I showed up and asked, jokingly, "why was your phone busy, did you take it off the hook?! The girl said, "yes, we were busy and it was just me and her." I told her I was on hold for over 30 minutes. "Oh, sorry." Alllllrighty then. Makes me wonder how much business this place loses for this very reason?! I'm sure it's quite a bit. Side note, *this isn't the first time this happened, quite frankly, it's happened too many times to count! I get that they get busy but if I was the owner and I knew this was happening, I'd be furious!!! read more

This is a place I visit regularly and love. The customer service is excellent and I've always had exceptionally friendly and accommodating waiters. The food is delicious and almost everything on the menu can be customized to be vegan. I always leave feeling full and happy! I've tried quite a bit on the menu and have loved everything, but my favorites that I recommend are: -spicy noodles with fried tofu -glass noodle salad with fried tofu -yellow curry with tofu. You can't go wrong with any of those! Definitely give this place a try. read more

Well we gave this Thai restaurant a try today & left not impressed. Wanted to - BUT could not do it. Service was fine - food was less Thai and more towards bistro and Americanized interpretation (sweet & sugary). Yes I know what your saying... but its serving Americans - ok great. But it's a Thai restaurant so it should serve food like one. Ordered Thai "chicken wings" to start and chicken nuggets came out on some cut lettuce with Thai chili sauce on it? This menu description should change to match what was served FRIED NUGGETS. Tried a second true Thai item papaya salad and this missed the mark by a lot too. This was enough to demonstrate that this may be great for other people but not us. We came in search of authentic Thai food and did not find it here sadly. So many other options for Thai food in the area so we will just stick to those other places. read more

I stopped by this place with a friend of mine and this place was great. I got the Thai Boat Noodle Soup with a medium spice and it was so good! I wish it was hotter but that's just my personal preference. It was a simple dish with bean sprouts, two different types of meat, and noodles. Simple but delicious! Highly recommend trying this place out. read more

We were customers here since Thai Brian opened. Always was good until today. We ordered Pad Thai with chicken and spring rolls with chicken. We were waited for meal long time. there were only 2 waitresses for 11 tables inside plus patio. First came the meal and then spring rolls. The roll had a little bit strange taste. Then we realized that chicken in our meal had even more strange taste. I think they cooked chicken with Cisco oil or something was wrong with chicken meat. Aftertaste was still following us and reminded about not so good meal. $50 dinner was wasted here. Service was bad, the same with dinner. Never back again. read more

Would love to speak to your owner. Your waitress was rude sarcastic and I walked out before even ordering. Never treated so badly. Owner please contact me. That waitress was rude, sarcastic and lacked customer service skills. Not only was she slow she was flat out rude. I will not spend money where I'm treated poorly!! She should not be working after the way she shamed my family and spoke arrogantly to us. read more

My husband generally works weekends and our time together, especially on Sundays, is limited. We wanted to go somewhere locally owned for lunch that wasn't fast food and chose Thai Boran. DH got medium-heat sweet and sour Thai with pork and rice noodles and I had the mild pumpkin curry with brown rice. Both were really good; the heat level in my dish was just right and the blend of flavors was fantastic. Dh very much enjoyed his meal. I had a bite and while his was hotter, the sweet and sour blend was delicious, so much better than the battered and fried chunks of tough pork covered in a weird orange-colored sauce that you'd get in a cheap Americanized Chinese restaurant. Thai Boran is an excellent choice for high-quality Thai food on the west side of town. read more

Traveling through New Mexico last year, I was lucky enough to stumble upon this little hidden gem! My son and I (who always enjoy Thai) were very impressed with our meals. My son now goes to school in Albuquerque and I suspect his decision did include this restaurant. I visit him as often as I can and we go here every time. Yesterday we went there and I had pad Thai, my son had the pad kee mow (drunken noodles) which he has every time and his friends ordered green curry and Mango curry. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. read more

Thai Boran - Yesterday I had number 59. Pad Thai with the egg crepe (which is optional) and Thai tea. - Thai Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Delicious Thai food! We tried the Thai money bags, pad Thai (beef) and chicken satay! Honestly all amazing - definitely some of the closest I have seen to eating in Thailand- the pad Thai had the nice tamarind flavor and was sweeter but not overly sweet. The Thai money bags were amazing with their plum sauce to dip. Finally the chicken satay was flavorful and moist and the peanut sauce was amazing!! They had TONS of to-go orders while we dined in, so I suspect they have mastered the to-go orders read more

Excellent food and service. This one waiter runs non-stop and had waters in front of 2 minutes after we sat down. The dining room is full and he just hustles. Money bags are top notch, yellow curry was great. Wife is raving over her green curry. read more

Had the special entree pineapple chicken substituting steamed veggies for rice and Kung pao Thai style chicken dish with steamed rice. We ordered medium spice level and Thai teas. Service was personable and fast and it was a busy night. Food was flavorful and filling. Would return. read more

Not even close to closing and canceled my order! Terrible customer service. Good food but now my money is not available

Dear Thai Boran, I like it when you let me take control of your menu. Even if you know that I will not like it all. I'll let you play the role, I'll be your customer...but, please be consistent. The Good: "Duck Curry"...loads of melt in your mouth delicious duck, peppers and small tomatoes that burst on your lips with a rich elegant curry sauce. Bad/Ugly: "Thai Stick" which was ground tasteless indistinguishable chicken, that you had to endure through to get to a "surprise" piece of overcooked shrimp (you hope)..To the dish of "Thai Boran Steak" with leathery strips of beef, little flavour, white rice chips that turn into nuclear powder and cucumber slices from last years harvest. So I am a tough guy, Like it really rough guy, Just can't get enough guy, Chest always so puffed guy, I'm that bad type, Make your mama sad type, Make your girlfriend mad type.. Might seduce your mama type, Yes , I'm the bad guy, duh!..:) Best, Avram Eilish Jr. read more

Tried this place because we got gift card. Initial impression is that the place is pretty busy. Fortunately, we got seated fairly quickly. We ordered the Thai toast, it was interesting, a little greasy for my taste. We also got the papaya salad, my husband didn't like it too much, I think I have it better at other places. We ordered their famous fried rice, I would give it a 7-8/10. We also ordered pad Thai, it was more like a 6/10 for us. Service is quick, restaurant is clean and decent vibe. The price is on the higher side for the amount of food we received. Still worth the try overall for us. read more

Food was delicious. It's hard to get through without on weekends to do a pick up order but definitely worth going in person. The food was great! read more

This was much better than the first time I tried this restaurant-when they were first open. I had the chicken skewers with peanut and cucumber sauce. I was very pleased! The first time I went. The peanut sauce was not worthy of mention and I did not want to diss the place, wanted to give it a second chance. It's now deemed worthy!!! I also had their pad Thai. This is the only place I've had it served this way. It's quite lovely . Rather than bits of egg in your pad Thai, the noodles are placed in a egg envelope- exquisitely thin, masterfully done. It's delicious, too. This is a real treasure on the west side. Stop in if you're a fan of ThAi foo read more

What a delicious lunch!!!! Really thoughtful staff, and the flavors were on point! I sampled my first bite of Thai Boran at Yelptropolis just a few weeks ago, and I had already bookmarked it after reading rave reviews from other credible sources, so I have been truly anticipating this sit down visit. We started the meal with Thai iced tea and an order of money bags...the tea was perfect, not too sweet, but just enough....and this was my first time trying the money bags, I loved them! I thought they might be really hard and crunchy, but they were the perfect texture, easy to bite into, and stuffed with all sorts of deliciousness. Next...I had to narrow down my lunch choice. This was tough y'all, I had sampled the Pad Thai at Yelptropolis and heard they serve it in a big fat crepe, which I really was craving, but I also am a sucker for curry, and my friend Larry swears by the Panang Curry, so that's what I ordered. We also ordered the Pad See Ew and I was very pleased with our choices. The Panang was zinging with flavor, perfectly spicy at medium heat, and to cap off the meal, we tried the mango sticky rice (a first for me, also). It was quite lovely. Definitely looking forward to my next visit, already eyeing that stuffed chicken wing and the yellow curry, and those fried bananas!!! read more

I have heard so many good things about this restaurant that I finally decided to order from it. Here is what I ordered and the quality of the products -- Crab Rangoon .. overcooked Yellow Curry .. no potatoes and an odd flavor Pad Thai .. the noodles were fine but there was no egg, either in the noodles or as a wrapper. I was very disappointed. I won't be back. read more

This is a great Thai restaurant. Its in the parking lot where the Flix brewpub is. Ordered take out and I had spicy noodles which is my go to dish. I was most impressed with how fresh the chicken and veggies were. My son ordered the miso ramen and did not like it that much but he is picky. I tasted and just felt it was a bit bland. I love a spicy fresh dish and felt that the way cooked was really excellent. I have eaten in a lot of the best Thai in CA and this is right up there. Will be back. During pandemic 11/2020 read more

This isn't just another Thai place- it's another GREAT Thai place! Located on the Westside, it's honestly worth the drive from the Heights. I ordered the pad Thai and it came all packaged up in a quaint, adorable egg crepe package! I was so enamored with the aesthetic that it was hard to cut into, but once I did I poured on the crushed peanuts, squeezed that lime, and went to town on those noods. The restaurant is small but perfectly fit our book club comfortably. The staff is helpful and attentive, and although I haven't tried them yet the desserts sound AMAZING. I'll be back, soon! read more

Great food, I love the pad Thai and egg rolls! Unfortunately, almost without fail, they turn off their phone around dinner time every day. Many times I've just driven 15 minutes each way to order there, wait, and then bring the food home because it's the only way you'll actually be able to place an order. Their doordash follows the same theme. I asked a server once and they admitted it happens. So... I place this review just hoping the owner sees this and decides to make a change. I would like to give you my money. Please keep the phones on. read more

Delicious! I cannot wait to go back. I want to try all of their dishes. The pad thai was wonderful!

My family and I were looking forward to have lunch there after seeing some of the reviews. Unfortunately, it was lower than our expectations. The service was good and the environment was cute. However, the food quality was at best mediocre. Dishes were either blend or too salty. read more

I've been here twice. Ordered two different entree's. I ordered the basil and chili with tofu. First time was good, but the second, portion was small, and too much soy sauce. I told them make it hot and it wasn't. The soup was hot in level of heat. Now that was a good portion. Took some home. I went here because it's close to where I'm staying for now. If I plan to return, hope they turn up the heat for my entree's. read more

Not sure how I stumbled upon this place but glad I did. FYI it's all the way past Flix Theater...google directions just kind of leave you in the parking lot so you have to drive all the way down the parking lot to find the place. It's a cute place and I was surprised to see it busy on a Sunday night, which was a good sign. Immediately two waiters came over to get my drink order while I waited for my friend. However, once my friend arrived service got slow. I had to flag down a waiter actually to place our order because we were waiting 15 minutes and no one came to our table :/ Not sure what happened since they were super attentive at first, maybe they thought we ordered or something, I'm not sure. Their Thai iced tea was delicious. My only issue was that it had A TON of crushed ice in it...I love crushed ice, but even this was too much for me. I would probably ask them to chill a little on the crushed ice next time because it will water your delicious drink down. I got the veggie pad thai and it was amazing. They serve it in an egg crepe which I never had served that way before. Basically the noodles are put inside an egg-kind of like an omelet egg-and then you get to cut open the egg and find your delicious pad thai inside. It was a cool presentation and a delicious dinner. And yay for the extra egg protein ;) The restaurant was casual enough to bring your family but still had a nice vibe for dinner with friends or a date night. I would definitely go again, just hope the service is a little quicker and that my drink isn't all ice next time. read more

This was our first time trying Thai food here and we are sold!!! The wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly. It was pretty busy and they stayed right on top of things.

We can't wait to go back and try more dishes, the menu is huge! read more

The only good this this time was crab Rangoon. Had the Thai style eggplant hot spice and the chicken, mushrooms veggies with oyster sauce. The mushrooms used to be delicious delicate shitaki mushrooms and veggies with sauce, rice on the side. This time it had egg noodles? I've never seen it like that. The mushrooms didn't look the same. They were big thick discs. I couldn't even chew one. It was the consistency of those freeze dried apricots in trail mix. The same size and chewability. Gross, had to take them out. We're they trying to save money by getting dehydrated mushrooms??? The egg plant was dried pieces of diced eggplant and veggies. NO SAUCE! It had a few sprigs of mint in it??? I didn't get it. My head spinning. Tried both and zero spice. When you try to call to discuss or order they don't pick up the phone. It's pricey and they aren't living up to the money. I seriously used to love this place. Now I'm just disgusted. read more

Very disappointed! Ordered beef Pud See Eew. The beef was like jerky, tough and hard to chew. The entire dish way too salty! The Massaman Curry, also disappointing; the chicken was dry, the potatoes were under cooked! Overall meal was a thumbs down. For the record, their mild is definitely pretty spicy. read more

My new favorite Thai restaurant. The staff is amazing. The food is delightful. And the presentation of the food is astounding... you won't want to eat it for fear of messing it up. I'd say the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew are two solid choices. The Pad Thai comes wrapped in an egg crepe thing. So different. For the woman who was upset about them not having soy sauce... get your Asian cuisines straight. The food is plenty flavorful without it. However, the mild chili is probably the way to go for your first visit, even for us "hot green chile craving NM" folk. The desserts are equally amazing. Mango sticky rice is so wonderful. Go here. You will not be disappointed. read more

What a delightful surprise to the West Side! I'm disappointed that I used to live in the area and I never discovered Thai Boran until now. I arrived an hour and a half early to a movie at Flix, planning on having something to eat at their bar, and then I found myself wandering into Thai Boran. Best.decision.ever. Cozy restaurant that was seriously filling up by the minute (really happy to hear from the server that they are always busy), simple menu (but by no means was it basic), and oh the flavor! Dan, my server, was exceptional. He had that natural server instinct and friendliness that I truly appreciated, as I work in the service industry myself. I went with his suggestion to get the curry fried rice and even though it was a very generous portion size, I unashamedly ate the entire thing. I'm already looking forward to trying their other dishes, especially the Tom Kah Kai or the Curry Noodle Soup. There are SO many good Thai restaurants in the city...however, if you don't add Thai Boran to the top of your list, you're sadly missing out. Don't be hesitant to make a "trip" out to the West Side, either. It's not that far! You know what I'm talking about! You will not be disappointed. read more

Came in because I saw so many great reviews on Yelp and Google. My best friend and I are trying the 'natural' ways to induce labor, spicy food is one of them. I figured since the regular green chile wasn't working, we should try something different, Thai food it is! We went around 2 pm and were greeted promptly. We ordered the Green Curry with Chicken and the Panang Curry with Chicken. The food was out quickly and serving sizes were pretty large. I got medium spice and she got mild. The medium was good and not too bad, just enough to make your nose run mildly. Unfortunately, it didn't do the trick for me to induce labor. Maybe I need the hot! Food was great and I'll definitely be back to this place close to my house. read more
