Walked in and was seated immediately. Parking right by the front door. The rate steak pho is fresh, appetizing, rich with rice noodles and a plate of added fresh greens including sliced jalapeño . I'm very satisfied. The papaya salad is good but I've had better. The papaya is sliced thinly which I love. The cocktail shrimp are sliced in half and spread out on top. Some crunchy scallions topped in the center. The dish is good and I would have liked more things in the papaya. Pickled shallots , tiny shrimp, something crunchy . It was fine - needs something more . The ambience includes couples, families and singles. Unfortunately at 8 pm they were fixing the room and a few employees were sliding the chairs on galvanized concrete and it was almost as bad as fingernails on chalkboard. This is easily corrected by asking employees to lift chairs. read more

Viet Taste - Good portions. Priced fairly well - Vietnamese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I don't want to yuck your yum if you like this place. The food is safe but flavorless and has little resemblance to the nominal dish you are ordering. 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. read more

Viet taste delivers. A client told me once that Viet Taste has the best noodles in New Mexico. So far, I can't prove it wrong. I had the #51 egg roll noodle bowl. The rest is a five star review. read more

Viet Taste - 51. eggrolls noodle bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Might return to try the entrees, but definitely won't reorder the spring rolls. Goi con is my go-to carryout snack. These didn't deliver the satisfying freshness I expect. $4.25 gets you two, but the peanut sauce is more liquid than peanut, and the lettuce is more yellow than green. Womp womp. read more

I was there a couple of years ago and found that in most dishes, vegetables are pretty scarce or non-existent. I never went back.

Had a delicious lunch with a girlfriend at Viet Taste. We both had crispy egg noodle stir fried combination that consisted of pork, shrimp, chicken, crab meat, vegetables and crispy noodles. It was delicious! We split a grilled chicken sandwich which they cut iin half for us. It was really good. The ambience is casual and not too loud. Our server Laura was great! Very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Viet Taste. You won't be disappointed. read more

Very disappointed... under new ownership. Our food was overcooked and the look of a couple of the plates not very appetizing. The older gentleman who seated us was very nice and service taking our order was quick. The young man that served us needs some personality. They haven't changed the interior much. The food was a step below what I was use to eating there. All four of us were disappointed. read more

Oh yeah. Good pho spot. Nice, spacious restaurant. Was busy but good came out quickly. Pho broth had a great flavor. Meat was very good quality. Solid Thai iced tea. read more

Viet Taste - 18. Rare Steak and Well Done Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Always friendly service and good food. Varied Asian cuisine. Always willing to accommodate special requests. Downside is Pepsi. No Coke.

Food was amazing! Got a noodle bowl with pork & eggroll...also spicy lemongrass beef with rice. They give good portions. Their vietnamese coffee is delicious! We'll be back. read more

The ambiance is calm and relaxed. My server Brian was attentive, kind, and focused. I mentioned I liked cilantro and he brought out extra for me. The food was warm. The broth was delicious and refreshing to eat. The rare beef paired well with the hoisin. I believe everything by came at a reasonable price of 11.50 for the pho. I loved the pho and would highly reccomend. The Thai tea was also fresh and not too sugary but still had a sweet hint. I would definetly come back just for a Thai tea. read more

Awesome experience everytime. This is my third visit. Their bref broth is consistent and delicious. Price is right. Definitely my go-to spot when I'm craving pho. read more

Food was mediocre. Service was okay, except we asked to substitute noodles for rice and were not informed there was an up charge. The waitperson said they forgot to tell us. Also, the website menu prices need to be updated; dishes are listed for less than cost at the restaurant. Wouldn't recommend. read more

This is my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Albuquerque! The food is consistently excellent and the service is fantastic. 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! read more

They're so nice. Always! And the food is consistently excellent. One of my favorite restaurants in this city!

Viet Taste has a new menu and it is sooo good. The menu includes more Asian American creations such as orange chicken and more. One of the others is oxtail pho. read more

I popped in with a friend for a light snack. We ordered a couple appetizers which ended up being plenty to share and perfect. There were some beef wraps in grape leaf that were so tasty and filling. I wouldn't say the taste was spicy hot by any means but had a subtle flavor. And we got spring rolls with shrimp. Everything was freshly made, and by the look of the full dining room, I could tell this was a popular place! I included a couple of pics. I hope to get back there! read more

Viet Taste NEVER disappoints! One of my favorite restaurants for Vietnamese cuisine in Albuquerque. The staff are not only friendly but extremely good at what they do. The dining area is cozy and there's rarely a wait for a table, even during dinner rushes. Id recommend the papaya salad with tofu, the grilled chicken and grilled shrimp--they are the BEST! read more

Viet Taste - Jasmine rice with shrimp and EXTRA broccoli! - Vietnamese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Wanted to love this place. It was very busy which usually indicates that a place is worth the wait. I placed my online order at 5:15 pm. Drove over and finally received the order at 6:25. Ugh. It was very stuffy inside. People were seated, received their food, ate and left while I was waiting for my to go order. Yikes! Got home and they didn't put any chopsticks in the bag. Pho was average. Maybe we will try one more time when they aren't so slammed. read more

I was recommended Viet Taste when I asked for a good pho spot in Albuquerque. If 3 people were telling me about this place, I knew I had to come and give it a try and I'm so glad I did! Once I seen the menu, my stomach was craving so many things. I eventually decided on the #35 udon noodles with a Thai tea The udon noodles definitely hit the spot on that cold rainy day. The broth had so much flavor and it was exactly what I was looking for. Thai tea wasn't my favorite I order the combination fried rice and wonton soup to go. The fried rice was good, wonton soup was okay. Overall- I really liked this place. I want to come back and try their pho next :) read more

It was our first time at Viet Taste. I love that kind of food. We're always looking for awesome viet cuisines. This place is totally awesome. Food is great and the staff are friendly and welcoming. We will be back again. Nice seating also and great ambience. read more

I really enjoyed my meal, the food was awesome and it came out really fast. The Pho broth has to be the best in town, the spring was good but nothing special. However I did have to wait a good bit for someone to refill my iced tea. But I will definitely recommend this place and I'll be coming back. read more

On our cross-country road trip, I started craving for comfort food and found Viet Taste on Yelp! I wasn't sure how good the pho was going to be in Albuquerque so I came in with low expectations. It was pretty late and the restaurants had several tables filled. The interior was nicely decorated and clean. We were immediately seated and ordered shortly after. My partner ordered spring rolls and a rare steak and meatball pho. I opted for a banh canh - something our server recommended. The banh canh soup was flavorful - much more than the pho broth. As for the spring rolls, they were more noodles and veggies than meat. The spring rolls could have been a lot better. Overall, a decent Vietnamese restaurant that satisfied my craving. read more

So about a year ago I was in search for Chinese cuisine in town but everyone I tried failed to meet my expectations. My friends recommended that I tried Vietnamese food and I found this Vietnamese cuisine. I definitely love this place since the menu is extensive and have many options from spring rolls, pho, and entrees. They have coke products and coconut water which is my favorite one. Plates are descent size for the prices you pay. Staff is for the most part friendly, it's a 50/50 at most. The restaurant is descent size. Definitely had become comfort food for my family. The environment is cozy and warm. read more

Fast food service , friendly staff! The food is top notch. We had egg rolls, chicken rolls, orange chicken and Pho. We love this place

I feel like the pho quality has gone downhill over the past few years. It's still decent, but nowhere near what it used to be. Servicer was really rude and didn't let us finish our sentences. I will say they do have a clean and welcoming environment. I would try Pho Linh instead. read more

Love the food sometimes the egg drop soup is a little off so it is a hit or miss. However the atmosphere is nice the restaurant is not the biggest but there has been enough room every time we have gone. Staff is always nice but when it gets busy they can tend to forget that you are still there. Especially if you are sitting in one of the corner tables. Flavor and portions of the food have always been on point. The spring rolls are delicious those are my wife's favorite mine are the egg rolls! Definitely give it a try and see for yourself. A solid 4 stars. read more

Viet Taste - Orange chicken and fried rice. Egg rolls and the wife's vegetable fried rice. Plus hot green tea to drink. - Vietnamese Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Looking for a nice neighborhood Vietnamese spot? This is it. I have yet to eat one bad dish. Having said that, they know their food is good and therefore do not have the best customer service. If your looking for quality carryout I say look elsewhere. They are not friendly and I am absolutely convinced the soy sauce that you will ask for is going for the price of gas. They always give just one packet even if you ask for extra. It's odd and not cool. Having said that, if they could work on their smiles and pleasantries (and soy sauce amount) this place would be stellar. read more

Viet Taste has become one of Albuquerque's best Vietnamese restaurants. The food is consistently good! Their noodle bowls are the best. I prefer the pork and egg roll bowl, but all the grilled meats are delicious. Rice dishes are solid as well. I like good fried rice, and Viet Taste has it. The broken rice dishes are excellent and spicy lemongrass is very tasty! The pho is solid. The broth is rich and flavorful while the meats are cooked properly. Pho is just fun to eat. I love getting to add bean sprouts, limes, and spices to my heart's content to get the flavor I desire. There are lots of good spots for pho in Albuquerque, but Viet Taste is really consistent. Right now, they have very good service and I really enjoy the staff they have. They are super nice, efficient, and provide a good experience. read more

We love this place because it is not only centrally located but it is evident how great the food and service is during their busy lunch hour! Thank you for providing quality food at a fair price! read more

I am kind of shocked to see that I haven't already make a review of one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in town! I love to come to this place for noods and any of their rice dishes, or of course the pho. I always recommend it to friends and family. You can't go wrong at Viet Taste! Their service is always friendly and attentive. Their food is similar in it always comes out fast and fresh! If you have time to stay and chill, you are all good. If you are in a crunch on your lunch hour they will get you fed and on your way! I like the stir fried rice noodle dishes which you can get with shrimp, or even a combination with chicken, pork and beef. It's not on the menu, but I always order mine with tofu. If you haven't been, you should. The prices are very reasonable and the portions don't leave you feeling jipped, not to mention the food is fresh and tastes great! You just win all over the place over here. read more

We had our eyes on food-truck noodles, but it became clear that this was too popular an event for us to get fed in time to also make it to the museum, we needed another place to get lunch. We were still in the mood for noodles and found Viet Taste. My wife ordered Egg Noodles Stir-Fried with Tofu and I ordered Egg Noodles with Special Beef Stew. What I didn't realize, maybe because I'm not very experienced with Vietnamese cuisine, is that the stew would be more like soup. We were in the car, so this wasn't going to be easy to eat. Luckily, my wife's portion was big enough for the both of us, and I took the beef stew home for dinner. Both dishes were well prepared. Delicious and cooked perfectly. We will be back when we have more time available to enjoy. read more

I've eaten here many times over many years. Unfortunately the food was subpar when we went last night. Not sure if it was because I got the beef clay pot instead of shrimp or chicken this time around. The spring rolls didn't have much flavor and the peanut sauce was watery. read more

Loved all that we ordered ! Definitely will go back and order more items ! Good service and delicious bun salads

My order arrived late so I forgot to take a picture but I wish I did so you can see how little meat they put in our dishes. Even the tofu dish, they put like ) chunks of tofu. I know inflation is bad but tofu is like $2 a container. All 3 entrees (beef, chicken, tofu) had very small amount of protein but waaaaay too much rice/noodles. The taste was just ok. Probably will not order again. read more
