This little restaurant does not offer much in atmosphere. Decor-wise
it harmonizes in a kitschy way but the dining area is very open and it's
not a good place to have quiet, private conversations. However it's
an ideal place to have a breakfast lunch with friends from work. There's
great food variety at a very reasonable price. Close to the military
base and the hospitals, it's very accessible and offers both take-out
and dine-in options.
A reservation is strongly recommended especially for lunch. At peak
hours, it takes about ten to fifteen minutes for all the food to be made
to order. The food is invariably hot and fresh.
There is excellent menu variety. The gang pad and pad thai is delicious
and is said to be the best in the city. Diners can select the level of spiciness
in their meals. It is also possible to customize the type of meat in a
particular dish. My personal favorite is the bamboo shoots in coconut
milk.
This is absolutely my favorite place to eat in Albuquerque!!!
When you go with more than one person you can order a variety of
items and share the dishes. My favorite is mussel curry. Very
authentic, with great, although slow, service. I can leave this
resturant with a full belly, leftovers, and a bill for two under
$20! If you have the chance, then definately try this place!
I LOVE this restaurant! They have the best dishes, and even the
hottest foods are not so bad...Sometimes it is nice to take a group,
and just eat untill you can't even walk any more!
Originally from Boston, I was amazed to find such an excellent
Thai restaurant in Albuquerque. You can customize each dish
to suit your taste. (spice to mild)

Excellent food - and lots of it. Good variety of food for a smaller
restaurant. The ambiance is great. The only problem with the
restaurant is service is a bit slow, but you know everything is
made to order and fresh. The food is wonderful - try the curry.
Pretty decent prices.
