So, for one of my absolutely favorite restaurants in the Burq, I have to ask myself, "self, why haven't I reviewed this place yet?? I come here at least once a week, usually every Friday and sometimes I've even eaten here twice in one day - I know pathetic, but it's what we do with our favorite stop for vittles. Having grown up outside Detroit where we have amazing Thai food (not sure why but we do) I've been in search of decent Thai food ever since I moved to the southwest - especially Albuquerque. Well, not until we found this little gem has that quest been truly answered. I know, there's a lot of "favorite" Thai places here in town but, in my humble opinion, the Thai kitchen is hands down the best Thai food around...and trust me I've eaten/tried a ton of Thai food from Albuquerque to SoCal to Seattle! What makes this place amazing is that she (the chef) doesn't cut any corners. Try getting a seat between 6:00 and 8:00pm on the weekends...good luck, you'll be waiting and for good reason. That alone speaks volumes. The curries are full of flavor, the noodle dishes rock and I think she just might have the best fried rice in town...period! My personal favorites are as follows... 1) Masaman Curry (hot) with both tofu and pollo 2) pad Se ewe (with pollo, hot) 3) salmon delight (with extra sauce and hot) - this sauce by the way is like crack! 4) Thai fried rice with shrimp and beef - hot. The spring rolls rock and they also make great soups too...just an FYI. Again, my apologies for not yelping this place sooner America - it's one of my personal favorites in town...period. And trust me...I'm one picky mofo when it comes to Thai food. I was spoiled up on Detroit. Ps...sorry for the pics - I'll update more prior to them hitting the "to-go" box. read more

Food and Service were GREAT!! I'm not a big Curry person but I did try #29 and the potstickers and both were AWESOME!!

This is my absolute favorite local restaurant. The wait staff is always extremely friendly and helpful, and the food is amazing! I've been going here somewhat regularly for the last few years and have never had a mediocre experience. Every dish is delicious, but I especially recommend the basil fried rice and jungle noodles. Their tofu is also delicious, and a great vegetarian option. The interior is beautifully decorated and has great atmosphere. Five stars every time, all around. read more

The food has been fantastic every time we have gone. We love this place!. They have been having staffing issues, so they are closed on Saturday and Sunday. Just a heads up if you're craving Thai on the weekend. read more

I was out in Corrales, New Mexico visiting family last July and my cousin & I went to this Thai Kitchen and the food here was the BOMB! I mean the Pad Thai was incredibly good. Would highly recommend this place. Great service and great dining experience. Would definitely come back here in the future ! read more

Thai kitchen has wonderful food! Their service is amazing! We used to get Carry out during the Covid crisis and as busy as they were because of very little help, we never ever had a wrong or incomplete order. It is a wonderful place to eat and the ambiance is good too. We eat there every time we come into town. Absolutely a five star restaurant. read more

I paid over $80 for food that was insignificant in both quantity and taste. with tip I paid for 4 dishes that were dismal. our Valentine's Day treat was bad. the staff were great but the food left me wishing I'd bought Panda Express or Pei Wei. better food for the price. read more

What delicious Thai food! I love the spice level, the generous portions, and most importantly, the taste! We always over order because we want to try so many things and we love having left overs. The curries and most noodle dishes are as good as the ones I had in Thailand. Different regions of Thailand have different varieties of Pad Thai. Honestly, I'm not normally a big fan of Pad Thai, but Thai Kitchen's version is DELICIOUS! read more

My favorite restaurant in Albuquerque! My personal favorites are the combination fried rice and the green chicken curry.

First time trying Thai Kitchen (takeout) and couldn't be happier! We got an order of the #29 Chicken Pad Thai and order if egg rolls - delicious! Great flavor and noodles were on point! We will be back after the Covid-19 has passed to have lunch/dinner! read more

If you're looking to satisfy your Thai food cravings then look for further! I love how this gem is on the west side of town. I have been to this fine restaurant many times and they never disappoint, the staff is great and the food is spot on! Today I had ordered the #32 pad see-ewe and the #30 rad na, and both were equally delicious. The pad see-ewe is fried noodles with egg, broccoli, carrots, and your choice of beef, chicken, pork, tofu, vegetables, or shrimp. This dish is delicious and had a lot of flavor to it, and this is great if you love anything stir fried! The rad na is the same fried noodles served with broccoli, carrots, and your choice of beef, pork, chicken, tofu, vegetables, or shrimp and this time it has a gravy like sauce with it. This dish was very flavorful, you will like this if you prefer something more saucy. Each dish you get you can choose the level of how spicy you want the dish, from none, mild, spicy and for both dishes we went with mild and it wasn't spicy. I found out from one of the servers that this restaurant gets really packed on the weekends, which is definitely a good sign. I had called in a to-go order and you wouldn't believe that it was so busy my order wasn't finished until about 2 hours later! There was even a 2 and a half hour wait for dining in on a Friday evening about 6pm-8pm, just a heads up! The food is so worth it. read more

Thai Kitchen - #32 pad see-ewe (don't mind the red stuff on top, I added my own sriracha) - Thai Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This doesn't even qualify as Thai food if you have ever eaten decent Thai food anywhere else on the planet. If anything it's more like bland gross Chinese food that you might get in an airport. Not authentic Thai in any way shape or form. read more

My date and I decided to try this place out. Kind of disappointed about the lunch special, and it was not. Just had a small broth soup, along with the green curry dish that I had chosen. I asked for the curry to be medium to hot, it was mild :(. I don't understand why there was broccoli and carrots in the dish. One pet peeves most off all. When another waitress took over for the one who was attending to us. I did not appreciate the waitress trying to flirt with my date. Batting her fake eyelashes at him. Or trying to bend down in front of him. Since the food and service was not up to par, most likely will not return. Get you're waitress to act more professional. read more

I love Thai Kitchen. This is my favorite Thai restaurant in Albuquerque. We have a few things we order every time. While we always order takeout (found the place post Covid) the service is great. They do tend to get busy so order early! The Pad Thai is just amazing. I order it Hot and the sweet and the heat of the dish make it a must have. I crave that Pad Thai, it is excellent! The Potstickers are great and my kids love the Chicken Satay. The Thai Fried Rice is also really good and they do an excellent Lo-Mein Noodle dish. I guess I know where I'm picking up dinner tonight! read more

Excellent Thai food great service nice casual atmosphere. We have done carry out dozens of times and have never had a bad experience.

Once again Thai kitchen has let me down. Not on the food, however their kitchen and staff cant seem to get takeout orders right. I called when they opened at 4:30 and my food took an 1 1/2 to come out... Just a bunch of people sitting around waiting for what seems like one person cooking for all of Albuquerque. Do not go to this restaurant if you are hungry because you will just get mad having to wait for your food. read more

I've eaten here three times for lunch and every meal has been excellent. An extensive menu, I've ordered something different each time and never been disappointed. I'll be going back. read more

Excellent food and because we live near Thai Kitchen it was quite a surprise. The green curry chicken excellent and the Tom Kha Gai soup was delicious. Would travel to eat here. read more

I'm a weekly regular, and the food is always delicious (the pork eggrolls are a must try). The hostess Monica is a real joy to be around, making you feel like a best friend, and she is very attentive. read more

Always 5 stars! The food, the staff, and the atmosphere are outstanding. I have an allergy and the staff goes the extra mile to make sure the dish is correct. Food is fresh & delicious every time! read more

Great Thai food. And we are from Bay Area where they have lots of great Thai food. Great menu and really fresh ingredients. Beware - the hot is really hot . And that's from natives that like their Chile hot. They did change where you order and pay when you walk in and then servers bring your drinks and food. Miss the table service but it works and the food is amazing. read more

Consistently good Thai dishes. Disappointing that they've been forced to cut back hours -- short staffed.

I've eaten here a few times. They serve good food that is tasty (and as spicy as you choose) for reasonable prices. Staff has proven friendly & accommodating in my experience. The interior part of the dining room is a bit darker than I might prefer. But it's always been quiet & a good spot for conversation. Solid choice for repeat visits. read more

Finally made it to this place. Decided to have an impromptu date night before getting groceries at Sprouts next door. Romantics right? This place was packed! Thankfully, we only had to wait about 15 mins before we were seated. My husband and I got the shrimp spring rolls( two come in an order) that was accompanied by some delicious peanut dipping sauce. For our main entree we both ordered the curry. My husband ordered the red curry with chicken and I ordered the green curry with veggies. For the curry you are given an option of mild, medium, hot or extra hot. We both opted for the hot, which was the perfect amount of heat for us. The portion was pretty generous, plus came with a side of rice. So happy to have a great Thai place on the westside. We will be coming back again soon! read more

Business lunch with company President. He recommended this location as it's a favorite of his and that it has a quiet, peaceful setting. Very quaint, limited indoors seating but they do have an outdoor patio. We were greeted by the friendly hostess as we entered which is nice and seated immediately. The hostess allowed us to pick our own table which is very nice, almost unheard of these days. Our waitress introduced herself and took our drink order of water and green tee which was brought out to our table within a minute. Excellent! Their menu selection is very large, well laid out, and easy to choose from. Prices were very reasonable (lunch menu). I chose a chicken noodle lunch with hot sauce. Excellent! Not too hot but they do offer an extra-hot. Spicy, excellent presentation, preparation, and was brought out to our table in under 7-minutes. Remember, it was peak lunch hour. My only negative critique would be the small serving portion and the lack of chicken included with my plate. Otherwise, I would have rated it a Five Star. Didn't have time to check out the bathroom facility, entire seating area which is rather small. Servers seemed friendly, helpful, pleasant. Definitely will go back a second time. read more

Best pad Thai in ABQ! The texture on the noodles - nuts. The flavor of the sauce - nuts. The freshness of the bean sprouts - nuts. The curry is also top tier, my wife gets the red curry, and it's pretty spicy! I've heard the fried rice is nuts too. Sorry for saying nuts so much, but I guess you'll have to visit and see how nuts it is! read more

I'm not a fan of Thai food. I would say I've never cared for it. I was meeting a friend for a quick lunch, and this restaurant happened to be a couple blocks away from where I work. I'm also in WW, so it can be challenging to find restaurant food that fits into the system. I ordered chicken skewers as an appetizer and the delicious Spring Rolls. The food tasted clean and fresh and was tremendously satisfying. I actually truly enjoyed a cuisine that has never appealed to me. Low in calories, delicious and filling. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious!! This was a back up when our original v day dinner plans we debunked. I picked up an order to go, and they were packed (like a 1.5 hr wait by 5:30p on a Friday). It was valentines, so not sure if that is the normal level of business. We took it as a good sign though :) I placed my order at the front- it was ready a bit before promised, correct, and delicious. Highly recommend. read more

First time I tried this place. The Tom Yum soup is for 2 to share it's quite a lot and very tasty. My panang curry was ordered medium but still had a nice kick to it, the taste and flavors were all there. My friend had the Namprigpao which was also excellent. I'll be back next time in Albuquerque. read more

Happy to be able to come inside to dine at Thai kitchen... It's a beautiful atmosphere. The service is just as great as always. This is my favorite Thai restaurant because it has my favorite Thai dish... Pumpkin chicken curry! The servings are very very generous. I shall return! read more

There are many Thai restaurants in The Duke City, but few are as good as this one just barely south of Corrales. TK is among my favorites. The Red Curry with either shrimp or fish filets is excellent. I ask the servers to forget the rice and replace it with rice vermicelli noodles. Much more interesting. They claim that they can make the Red as hot as you desire. I asked for "Thai hot," hoping for a real burn. It was medium hot, a disappointment. By my fourth visit, the kitchen finally believed me when I told them that I can handle any heat level they can prepare. The chef came to my table and watched me carefully as I tasted it, and was quite surprised when I didn't gasp for breath. The Red is as flavorful as any I have tasted. I have had it six times, and shall do it again. Why is it that Thai chefs in this town refuse to believe that "Thai hot" should be searing? Heck, I add Bird Peppers to much of my home cooking. Yeah, even my scrambled eggs and omelets. And I make Red Curry from scratch at home. Thai hot, too. Thai Kitchen is my favorite Thai restaurant within three miles of my house. My top favorite is Pad Thai Cafe on Louisiana just outside the Talin International Market. read more

This place is so good! Who would have thought that NM has some of the best tasting Thai food around. I even got some of my non adventurous food friends addicted to this place. The red curry is my go to and it's always fantastic. Their Pad Thai is delicious as well as the Pad see ew. I order my food spicy/hot and every time I wish I had ordered it hotter. Very friendly staff and clean establishment. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare but it's worth parking and walking trust me! Pro Tip: Save some for left overs! I've found that the left overs of my meals almost taste better the next day after everything has sat and marinated in spices overnight. read more

The food is good, but the restaurant part is an issue. 1st there is the continuing labor situation forcing them to close Saturday, now they're no longer a restaurant in the classic since, it's a take-out place. You have to pay for your food when you order it, then you have the choice to sit inside or outside, like a fast food joint. Forget about the draft beers listed on the menu, they're no longer available. I wanted a 2nd beer, but the line of people placing orders made that not an option to finish a hot meal. Please get your labor situation resolved. read more

We always love going here! The food is just wonderful! Not only do they have really good food, but it doesn't feel like a normal Chinese restaurant... Kind of creepy... It feels clean and lively and nice inside. All the staff is extremely friendly and well trained take care about the customers needs! read more

This restaurant does not offer curbside pickup or heed current NM public health orders. I walked in after-hours (my order wasn't ready until 30 min after closing) and there was a group of 5-6 people (not clear whether it was an employees' family members or if they were employees) not practicing social distancing. I requested curbside pickup and was denied. If I wanted to have dinner, I was forced to pick up my food inside where I had to step into a place that was in clear violation. They were not flexible in understanding there is a National virus pandemic and I simply asked for curbside. If you care about your life, think twice about supporting this business at this time. read more

Random find in a strip mall. They let us bring our dog into the outside dining area and were extremely nice and attentive. Food was savory. Tom kha soup was perfectly made and both of our dishes had great flavor and spice. They nailed how Thai food is suppose to taste. read more

We were not able to eat at this establishment due to the rude inhospitable hostess. Let me explain. First of all you must stand at the counter to order your food (small entry) so you have to look at an extensive menu and order quickly. Upon our arrival, there was a woman in front of us picking up her order, the hostess was incredible rude to the woman picking up her order. She spoke to her with sarcasm and very little patience. We were next in line. We were greeted with, "How many?" No "hello" or "welcome". We told her our party size and she said that they didn't have a table because it was more than 4 people and they can't put tables together. We stated that we'd sit at 2 tables if that is all she had but could they be next to each other. She reiterates that she CANNOT put tables together. We asked to speak with her manager. She came back and said that the manager could not come out and speak to us because they were in the back cooking. We left and immediately drove to Thai Boran and enjoyed amazing food and hospitable service. read more

This is our favorite Thai place in town!! The food is SO delicious, you really cannot beat it! I have tried multiple dishes here - and my favorite are the Pineapple Fried Rice w/ tofu and the Yellow Curry w/ tofu. The food has never once disappointed, both in pickup and dine in situations! The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is 100% due to their service. Thai Kitchen always seems understaffed - the servers appear to be working hard, but there just isn't enough of them. And this is the pattern on every visit. Sometimes getting sat takes awhile, and ALWAYS getting your order taken and food brought out takes much longer - but if you aren't impatient - I promise you won't be disappointed when the food arrives! That is why we continue to visit here. 100% because of the food! Best Thai in ABQ! read more

Very clean with a great staff. The service is one of the best in the Albuquerque area. The food has its own spin on Thai cuisine and is delightful with fresh ingredients. The cost is reasonable and better than most Thai restaurants in the area. The only points that keep it from being a five star rating was the portions. They were very inconsistent. Two basil chicken dishes that were ordered with our party came out with a very different amount of meat. Normally not a big issue, but in this case one person received about 20% of the amount of chicken compared to the exact same dish. I would also say overall, the meat portions are a little on the light side. The Pad Thai dish only had about 1/4 of a chicken breast for the entire entree; it took away from the meal. I will return, it might have been a bad day for the cook. read more

We are definitely lacking Thai food here on the Westside and Thai Kitchen was a welcome addition. It may not be the best Thai food I've ever had, but I don't think there is any actually in town that is the best I've had, so you can't use that against them. The location is very convenient and it's a very nicely decorated place. We sat outside since it was a nice summer evening. The food is very fresh and tastes of that wholesome yummy warmth you get from Thai food in general. We ordered the crab rangoon, which wasn't too greasy and was yummy. We also got our old standbys. I love Masamun, Panang curry and usually pick out dishes with lots of vegetables. Everything tasted spot on and gave us enough heat. The staff was excellent. Sometimes when you sit outside you get ignored, but not here. They brought us refills on our sodas without asking and visited with us a bit to see how we were doing. When we left they encouraged us to write a review on any site we use. No problem! We will be back read more
