Craving tom kha gai like you wouldn’t believe the last few days. Coming in I was warmly greeted and taken care of. The soup brought me back to my childhood and was hands down the best. You can’t have noodles and Tom kha gai without Thai tea! Which hands down completed the meal. With Thai tea flavored dessert. :) Will definitely be spreading the word of how this Thai restaurant is the place to go to in the Albuquerque. Day2: green curry 🍛 veggie no meat w/ a side of jasmine tea. If you’re not coming here yet! You’re missing out!!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I’ve been stopping here for almost two decades, every time I pass through ABQ, as it’s has been a vegan staple of the area. Now, I know this is my fault, but I somehow missed that they’d added animal flesh and eggs to their menu back in 2018. Regardless, stopping here this time and discovering this was pretty disappointing, and had the other location not been temporarily closed, I would’ve opted for that one. The food was as good as always, and the server assured me that things like noodles and broths are still vegan by default, but it was still disheartening to find out a pioneer in Albuquerque vegan food regressed like that.

I had the lunch special pad Thai, which comes with two small vegan spring rolls and salad. It was delicious, especially with the garlic chili on top. I don’t usually order pad Thai anymore because it usually comes with eggs. This was an egg-free version. The mango sticky rice dessert was the best I’ve ever had. It was not very busy at lunch on a Wednesday and food came out quickly. Very cute large space inside. Very clean bathroom.
