Thai Spice - Albuquerque

The food here is delicious, I love their spring rolls. when they get a large lunch rush, they get a bit frazzled. When they get busy parking can be quite difficult.

One of the best Thai places I’ve been through out the country. I’ve had a lot of Thai food. We went on a week night and reserved a table jic but it was unnecessary, the restaurant was busy but not packed and had good flow. First you’ll notice the atmosphere, very relaxed, a little whimsical and of course Thai originated. The waiter was quick, friendly and very good at his job. We ordered Thai iced tea, Thai iced green tea, hot jasmine tea and mango nectar, all of which were brought to the table pretty quickly. Between the three adults and 2 children we ordered Satay Chicken app, Thai fried rice w/chicken, pineapple curry, panang salmon and pad Thai. Each dish was to rave about. Great food and great service!

Saturday. December 9, 2023. Dinner. We lucked out. They had an empty table as soon as we walked in. Sat us down immediately. There is an outdoor patio, but no one sat there because of the freezing temperatures. I heard the waiter tell subsequent people walking in that it would be a 30–40-minute wait. They are located Northwest of Wyoming and Paseo Del Norte. Our waiter, Johnny, looked young and energetic. He told us the restaurant had been opened seven years. We ordered 2 shrimp spring rolls $5.95). They were large but had very little shrimp inside. The vegetables inside didn't taste old, but they weren't super fresh either. I ordered the Jasmine tea $2.50). The tea came in a heavy, black metal tea pot with two tea bags and a black metal cup. I liked the presentation, and the tea had a nice, light floral flavor. I ordered the Drunken Noodles with seafood $15.95). I believe the seafood included mussels, squid and some sort of fish. Johnny told me that the Thai Spice level was hot. He joked that I couldn't send it back. So, I ordered that level and found it to be not hot at all. I had to add Sriracha to it. Johnny checked on us multiple times during our meal. He had a pleasant, positive attitude. The restaurant is decorated impeccably, with swimming fish, multi-colored upside-down umbrellas hanging from the ceiling, romantic lighting and modern artwork on the walls. I can attest, from personal experience, that the men's bathroom was very clean inside. Let me be honest, this isn't the best Thai cuisine in Burque. It was a bit bland and not very spicy. However, the service and ambiance were hitting the mark and the prices are reasonable. If you want an average Thai meal, this is your spot.

Ignore by server And they never have mango with rice.

Lovely strip mall made very homey with aquariums and decorative dividers. Busy but efficient. Pleasant waiting area. Does have cold blasts when doors open.
