I can't get over how amazing this food was. I love Thai food I've been to so many places all over…read morethe country and this surpasses them all. Not entirely sure why this place doesn't have full star ratings. It was so clean not a dirty dish in sight. The I had the pad Thai level 3 spice with no egg and tofu and it was amazing. Not dry at all wonderful flavor. We also had the green curry with beef and it was so flavorful. Lastly we had the coconut mango sticky rice and just about thought i was in heaven. Ambiance, food and service was out of this world for a wonderful price too. Albuquerque truly has a gem here.

This was my first time back since the remodel…read more They updated the restaurant with more modern wall arts and moved the front counter. The walk arts are nice but it lost its charm. With the menu board, it feels like fast food less sit down style. Service has changed as well. Now, you place your order and PAY at the counter and seat yourself. You are asked to tip before you receive service. tipping is supposed to be base on quality of service. You do receive table service once your food is ready. The menu has changed as well. We loved the jerky and sticky rice, now gone! Fish cakes is new but it was too chewy and dry with little flavor. Shrimp cocktail and dumplings were good. This was the only Thai restaurant in town that served good Thai rice noodle soup similar to pho. Sadly it's no longer the case. It was bland! Traditional beef soup included meatballs, now gone. They also charge ridiculous prices for some add-ons such as crushed peanuts $2.00 per order!! Really, for 2 ppl we could have bought a whole jar. Service ended up being good especially since we were the only patrons. I low balled the tip at time of order and ended up giving additional tip in cash. Sadly to say, it's off our list of favorite restaurant in town. Probably will not go back.

I like sushi places where you can see the sushi being made on the bar, as with this place. I immediately used the restroom, and it was clean. We enjoyed some soup before we ordered off the sushi menu. We ordered some Scottish salmon nigiri (8), and tuna (2). Those came out before the other rolls. The Scottish salmon is where it's all at for me. It is so damn good. Our other rolls trickled out two by two. We ate until we were stuffed. We got a to-go container and piled the rest in. We left there full and very satisfied.

Seaweed, sushi rice, cream cheese, tempura shrimp, Spicy tuna,, cucumber, imitation crab, phenomenal. I did, however, try the Waikiki. It was phenomenal. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I like the atmosphere, and the seating area is always pretty clean and and nice.

This was for takeout, but based on this order I don't plan on visiting the restaurant…read more The only thing I'd order again would be the Ninja nachos which are fried wonton loaded with a variety of fish and a spicy sauce. Despite that I could make this at home it was okay. It would be better with real crab, not the fake stuff. The rooster roll wrapped in a soy wrapper was a big sloppy mess. The poke bowl has nothing to do with poke. It's basically your choice of appetizer dumped on rice or greens. The coconut shrimp were dried out and tiny. The sweet shrimp had no flavor. This is what happens when gimmicky, "viral" food trends take over flavor and presentation. Probably won't try this again.

Ordered on doordash, food was good i got the pad tai (thai spicy) it was not very spicy at first…read morebut after i got half way through the heat came in and i would say im decent with spice but that spiciness had me chugging 3 bottle of water with my meal. I also got the wings same way thai spicy but they were nuggets but the flavor was still very delicious. I would say purely from a taste view cause I havent been to the restaurant it's a solid 8/10. It satisfy your craving for thai food but its doesn't wow you.

Best Pad Thai I've had so far in New Mexico! I've been…read moretrying all the Thai spots in Albuquerque lately so I just had to try Thai Boran too! I had the Pad Thai, Pad See Eww (but it's quite the opposite of eww ), the crab Rangoon, and the money bags. So my absolute favorite item was the Pad Thai, I absolutely loved it. Arguably the best in New Mexico. The Pad see eww was also the best I've had in New Mexico. Neither compared to big city Thai food, but they were close! The crab Rangoon was the best crab Rangoon I've had in a long time, in any city. The way they wrapped it was clever, you could taste the cream cheese filling as you bite, it was great. The money bags was fine, the sauce was too watery I think that came with it which made the flavor run off of it quickly. Huge star bonus for their to go containers not being cancer causing styrofoam. For this alone I stopped ordering from other Thai places in town. Many states have banned styrofoam, it's very very bad, I'm so glad they don't use it.

The food is great here!! But it's not always open like google says it's a hit or miss.read more

We stopped by Asian Noodle Bar in downtown Albuquerque and ordered a little bit of everything to…read moretry. Overall it was a really solid meal with fresh flavors and generous portions. We started with miso soup, which was warm, light, and comforting with plenty of seaweed and green onion. It was a great way to start the meal. Next we shared a sushi roll, which was nicely presented and topped with sesame seeds. The roll had a good mix of avocado and crunchy filling, and it came with the classic ginger and wasabi on the side. For the main dishes, we ordered pad thai and a tofu vegetable noodle soup. The pad thai had soft rice noodles, bean sprouts, egg, and green onions, plus a big pile of crushed peanuts for extra texture and flavor. It was savory, slightly sweet, and really satisfying. The tofu vegetable noodle soup was packed with broccoli, mushrooms, and tofu in a rich, dark broth. It was hearty and flavorful, and the broth had a deep savory taste that made it feel like a comforting bowl of ramen. Everything came out hot, fresh, and filling. The portions were generous and it felt like a great casual spot to grab noodles downtown. If you're looking for comforting Asian noodle dishes in downtown Albuquerque, this place is definitely worth checking out!

Came here to check it out. I hope it is good. Not very many customers, maybe because it's late and…read moremost people now a days do take out. Ordered deep fried tofu, I was happily impressed. Never had tofu and it was very tasty. Egg rolls are very small but they too taste good. Must say the tokomutsu (I know I butchered the spelling) ramen hit it out of the park!! Wow! Ordered spicy and that was not to spicy, so added more spice but broth was so good!! Service was okay, did not ask for refills, I feel they should always come and ask

We enjoyed our visit, and the restaurant itself was a pleasant experience. Our wait staff was…read morepolite, courteous, and attentive throughout. We did not order sushi this time, and we would love to return to see whether it elevates our impression even further. Chicken Gyoza:The gyoza had a well-crisped exterior and a flavorful, juicy interior. The sweet dipping sauce was a nice touch and complemented the chicken well. Unfortunately I forgot to get a picture. Udon: The udon arrived in a generous portion, with simple ingredients of udon noodles, broth, and green onions. The noodles were cooked very well. The broth was flavorful, though a bit on the oily side. It is offered in three spice levels (regular, spicy, and extra spicy), and we ordered regular. I added a side of shrimp tempura, which was not a highlight. It seemed more reheated than freshly fried, and the exterior was soft rather than crisp. It is not an item I would recommend, but the udon itself was enjoyable. Tonkotsu Ramen: The ramen included broth, noodles, sweet corn, bamboo shoots, a boiled egg, and green onions, with chicken as our protein. The noodles had a texture reminiscent of instant cup noodles, which was a bit different from what we expected. The chicken was somewhat bland, though the sweet corn was an interesting addition, as it is not commonly served in this dish in our area. The boiled egg was a highlight, cooked to a perfect medium-well. Overall: The food was slightly below our expectations, but the friendly service and welcoming atmosphere made for an enjoyable visit. The gyoza and the ramen egg were standouts. We look forward to returning to try the sushi and see how it compares.

I did…read morenot try the sushi, as there are SO many sushi restaurants around and we were just so thrilled to find a place that had a full menu of noodles, soups and rice dishes. The atmosphere is not fancy or impressive, feels a bit like an undiscovered hole in the wall. Service was good, it appeared there were only two people working - a hostess and a server - but as there were only a couple other patrons in the place, we were well attended to. Highly recommend if you are looking for good Japanese food that isn't just the same ol' afterthought hot dishes menu offered at most sushi places around town!

I also got the Hamachi Kama which was grilled to perfection and so full of flavor. This meal took me back to when my grandma would take me to a hole in the wall back in Hawaii. Definitely brought back wonderful memories. The service was quick. They weren't too busy when I stopped by so that was good, they also just opened for dinner not too long before so definitely good timing. The server was truly the sweetest. Wish I could go back tonight! Lol. Next time I'm in Albuquerque I'll definitely be back for more.

Its very generic, keep in mind I grew up in San Jose so Vietnamese restaurants were plentiful and a Americanized name would throw me off. So that's why I would pass on it when we were looking for Vietnamese in the area. But I was missing out. First time we came here I had #17 and it tastes nearly identical to how my mom makes it. Its not exactly like my mom, but flavor wise it tastes like my moms cooking so that immediately won me over. My wife likes the #22 Crispy Egg Noodles, but My wife likes everything. #16 Beef Stew also similar to my mom's, in terms of flavor. #15 is also good. One time I ordered #21 chow fun and it was a miss for me, it was really sub average. The owner is super nice, she remembered us from the first time we came in and it was weeks prior that we were in last. Service is always great and friendly. They keep it clean in the restaurant. They had Sunny from Best Ever Food Review Show on the TV one time, so I know they have great taste in YouTube Channels. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and for sure #17 is a WIN for me. I haven't tried their #14 Bun Bo Huè yet, but it's something I'm looking forward to.
