50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Albuquerque

“Loved it! Our server was outstanding. Egg rolls were especially delicious. Pad Thai was a little bland but our server brought a variety of 5 or 6 different sauces to try and add. That made the pad thai great! Loved the dumpling sauce.“

“Didn't like the Cashew chicken. The chicken is not toy liking but to each their own. Also what was supposed to be extra cashews was a normal amount compared to the other Chinese place I usuall go to. Gave you 5 stars anyway because you were open late when other places weren't. Points for availability... plus I like to think I'm a nice guy 😉😊“

“East Ocean is the place I go to when I feel like I need a hug, when I’m feeling too lazy to cook, or to impress any out of town friends.

The food is A tier - nothing like it in New Mexico and very much comparable to NYCs Flushing and Canal St fare. The cooks seem really passionate about creating the best Chinese food in town. And I absolutely love that they take lunch breaks to eat together.

If want genuine, high quality food with really friendly and polite staff for a really good price, this is the place.“

“This should be called Sichuan Place or something. I understand they have to cater to other Asian customers that is why they have Pho etc. Really should just focus on South Chinese food tho. The serving size is family size so go with a large party if trying out this place.“

“Dinner visit. Attentive staff. Egg rolls were good, with outer wrapper crunchy, but not too thick and greasy. Squid with vegetables and another dish with fried wontons were tasty and very similar except for their proteins. Abundant portions for a second, take-home meal. Happy to return, especially if i can try some lunch specials.“

“Was delicious food. Great price’s, and staff is awesome.“

“TAIWANESE STREET FOOD! The original version of Fei's was totally vegan so she really knows how to cook vegan food. Fresh house made soy milk and tofu. Great green chili steamed buns. Inquire with the owner about a limited selection of incredible Taiwanese vegan products like soy jerky, vegan chicken, tofu skin and other vegan meats. Pros: Mostly vegan, Authentic taiwanese food, Stinky tofu! 😃😜 Cons: Small menu, Not a lot of greens, Stinky tofu! 🙂😜“

“Grand opening“

“We had a party of 12 and our server Owen was super attentive and helped us celebrate the birthdays in the group! Food was delicious!“

“Great food, they make their own fresh noodles there ! What a difference. Best PD Thai. Unusual noodle dishes. Found it by serendipity, will come back when in ABQ again.“

“What a hidden gem!! The food is outstanding, staff/owners are incredibly kind, and we had a wonderful family dinner. Thank you Happy Asian 🤗“

“We eat out a lot. In fact I would say we are food critics. In Albuquerque we have tried nearly every Asian restaurant there is. However, we were really surprised to find out that yummy noodle house was 6 minutes from our house. This place hands down is the best ramen in town. Flavorful, delicious perfect amount of spice. The staff is amazing and the cook is absolutely amazing! We will be coming back here for more and recommending to all our friends.“

“I always get the vegetable egg foo young & it’s always the best. Very good gravy for the egg foo young. I also get a double order of wonton soup that always comes with a lot of wontons. All this for less than $20. Can’t beat this place.“

“My hotel recommended this restaurant. The food was amazing! Enjoyed the meal and the friendly staff. When traveling I try to support local businesses. I will definitely return as the food was great and pricing fair. Stop by and support this family business! Enjoy!“

“Absolutely deliciously flavorful! Great place! Food is amazing and service is friendly!!! 👍👍“

“I couldn't believe the price is the prices are so cheap I don't know how they can stay in business and also the food is so good I wanted to take some home and I did the plates were overloaded so so you can take some food home and they made it the way I like it“

“EF Chinese Restaurant Review - 4.7 Stars

I recently tried the Happy Family Meal at EF Chinese Restaurant, and it was an exceptional experience. The dish was a delightful mixture of chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, and a variety of fresh vegetables. The flavors were outstanding, with a perfect balance of sweet and spicy that left my taste buds thoroughly satisfied. This restaurant is definitely a spot to choose when you're in need of a satisfying meal. Highly recommended!“

“Truly great Chinese 👌 food . Very friendly and welcoming owners.“

“Amazing food! Best hot and sour soup I have ever had.“

“The egg drop soup was the best I've had, great impression right off the bat 😁.

The servings were generous, egg rolls fresh and meat tender. Not overly salty like some places.

Price was right.

Service friendly and fast.

What more can you ask for?“

“Loved the food, I recommend it, especially if u were brought up in New York, the egg foo young is absolutely amazing. Just like home back in New York. Sweet and sour chicken was good, but my favorite is the egg foo young. Pork fried rice great. There chicken cow mein is veggie awesome. It's price is a little high but worth every penny. Beef and Broccoli awesome, also beef & veggie. My daughter loved this dish. Enjoy you won't be disappointed. Friendly, and professional. Very helpful.
Thank u Jackie Ruiz“

“Awesome food! Great portion size at a very reasonable price! The food was nice & hot even though we did to go! The crab wontons are wonderful!“

“amazing food! found this place last weekend and came back again in less than a week! can definitely tell will be eating her alot!“

“Let me start by saying chinese food is one of the things I miss about NY. So I'm sorta biased. Tried many different places in NM but I found them tasteless and in some cases inedible. But then there was Jade! Drove from Rio Rancho in a snow storm, Totally worth it! Everyone was so warm and welcoming. All the food was flavorful and delicious! Will be my go to place from now on! Thank you for terrific chinese food!“

“My boyfriend and I were driving cross country and decided to stop at China Inn. It is a family-owned chinese restaurant, and the family is very sweet and accommodating (we came in shortly before closing). Really some of the best people we have ever met. They took great care of us and the food was very good. I ordered the hot and sour soup, and it was so authentic and well-seasoned. They really deserve more business so if you’re reading this review, please go check them out!! Their restaurant is very old (they’ve been open since 1984), but don’t let that deter you. The food and service were wonderful.“

“We had our first experience at Zu Hot Pot and it was amazing! The staff were very attentive and helped with portions and sizing. It was also our daughter’s birthday and they made it extra special! We will definitely be going back!“

“We love Schezwan! Owners are so kind. Food is excellent and prices are fair.“

“Quite literally my favorite restaurant in Albuquerque. It has the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Super authentic, super yummy!
The staff are so sweet
The seats are comfortable for people of many sizes. The chairs are sturdy for my larger diners, and the booths are surprisingly roomy.

I think the best dishes are the spicy, bacon and cabbage, sesame, chicken, egg, drop soup, and literally any of their noodle dishes.

When my friends come to town, this is the first place I always take them to!“

“Perfect lunch spot. Cheap, fast, delicious food. They do not waste my limited time nor my limited lunch budget. The food is also super good.

Tbf I'm a vegetarian and get their different tofu styles, but it's some of the best tofu I've had at a restaurant, and definitely the best I've had in abq“

“Finally found a decent Chinese restaurant in ABQ. It’s been discouraging until we found this place. We’ve eaten there 4 times in the last month. Both take out and dine in. Everything has been really good, except the General Tso’s Chicken. It was ok, but not great. I recommend this place.“

“Fresh beautiful food and lots of it. Terrific value!“

“We had a party of 12 and our server Owen was super attentive and helped us celebrate the birthdays in the group! Food was delicious!“

“Good Chinese at super affordable prices. Always fresh.“

“Giving this 5 stars to help raise their score. I don’t get why it’s so low! For years I’ve gone to El Dorado Bakery on Broadway for the menudo, so naturally seeing the much lower score of El Dorado #3, I was very hesitant to try it. However, The Broadway location is a 20 minute drive and the one on Coors is only 5 minutes! And when you’re hung over, the shorter drive is better! I tried their menudo and flautas today, and both get a 4.5 out of 5 in my book! This has been the only place that does flautas right and even has a potato option! Their salsa was the best I’ve had in town! It def tasted like Chile de árbol and red tomato flavor without the usual tomato paste flavor that other salsas in ABQ tend to have. The menudo could be spicier for me but the flavor def made up for the lack of spice. Excited to go back and try out the rest of the menu. My order was to go so don’t expect the cute yellow bowl in my pic ?Also, there was a woman singing Yolanda Del Rio covers so that’s a win win win for me! Oh and yes, the bread was bomb. Come on now.EDIT: To address the customer service issues from previous reviews...service when I went was super fast. The lady that was singing only sang 1.5 songs while I was there and BOOM, my order was up! The music was way too loud and I had to shout my order to the cashier..but I would still go back lol. Hoping they read this and lower the volume on the speaker. Also, the restaurant was super full and I still got my order in under 10 minutes.“

“It's in the mall food court. I was delighted to find it. The food is great and I think maybe a little cheaper than the usual Panda Express. The atmosphere is standard mall but certainly okay. I have also ordered delivery.

Vegetarian options: Well, they have lots of stir fried vegetables. I'm not a vegetarian so I'm not sure about cross contamination with the meat dishes but it looks ideal to me.

Parking: There is lots of outdoor parking near the entrance to the mall that goes directly to the food court

Kid-friendliness: There are little race cars and things the kids love to ride in, free at the mall. Kids would be able to eat in the comfort of a noisey mall instead of being confined in a restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there seems to be ramps and the like. I push a dog buggy and we had no problems getting over curbs etc.“

“they were so attentive and the food was amazing. i haven't had a pick up this good in awhile. will be going back and tipping extra because they really deserve it. ❤️❤️❤️“

“I had a fantastic experience at Pei Wei today, thanks to Gabe's excellent service! Gabe was friendly, attentive, and made sure our meal was perfect. The food was fresh and delicious, but Gabe's hospitality really made our visit stand out. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Kudos to Gabe for a job well done! We'll definitely be back!“

“Ammmazzinnng probably the best sesame chicken i have ever had all the dishes we got were amazing and generous portions the price unbelievable for the amount of food given they have coupons on there menu on the paper menu inside totally returning here“

“The food is always very good and the service is excellent. Happy Family is my favorite but everything I have tried was yummy for sure“

“REALLY GOING TO MISS THIS PLACE, IT HAS BEEN OUR FAMILY FAVORITE FOREVER!!!“

“place is absolutely amazing“

“My husband and I came here because of a recommendation we saw on Facebook and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing and it was not greasy at all. The husband and wife that run the place were super sweet and they've been running this business for 47 years. We got the crab rangoon, green chili egg rolls, the cashew chicken barbecue spare ribs combination platter, and the Mandarin beef sweet and sour chicken combination platter. We will definitely be back.“

“My professional association just finished a conference at Isleta and I cannot say enough good things. The staff was amazing and extraordinarily accommodating, the food was delicious, and the prices were very affordable for our budget. Thank you all for the great 4 days we had at Isleta!“

“The waiter was amazing and very friendly! He was attentive and caring!! Thank you for a great experience for Mom and myself!! 🥰 thank you Wei Jei!!“

“Great food! I Alk the foods are fresh and newly cooked! The place is so clean and very comfortable!“

“I absolutely love the fresh delicious food I get from Rose Garden. It’s always consistently good and even the one time they made a mistake they fixed it right away. The service is efficient and the menu options are plentiful. A staple for me and my family!“

“Ok, so most Chinese in the US has been Americanized. This place has dishes most people should be familiar with BUT they have a 2nd menu with traditional Chinese dishes & that's what I LOVE. I ordered the simplest of dishes: fish with pickled vegetables soup & it was some of the best soup I've had since thoroughly enjoying Caldo de Mariscos with stingray (asked at the time what all was in it & was told stingray along with muscles, shrimp, etc.) quite a few years ago at Lindo Mexicano (I don't know if they still make it with stingray but at the time it was & it is YUM!).
But this isn't about Lindo, this is about Tasty Noodles & Dumplings. The 2 young men who alternately waited on us were so sweet & very sufficient in their service.
It's a cute little joint off San Pedro that we thoroughly enjoyed in its entirety. Check out their traditional Chinese menu, THAT's where you'll find the really good stuff. Thank you Tasty Noodles & Dumplings. We WILL be back!!! ?

Parking: Shopping mall setting.

Wheelchair accessibility: As wheelchair accessible as most places in Abq.“

“Had the sweet-and-sour pork can’t say that it was anything special. She gave us a lot of sauce. The egg rolls were landing greasy. Maybe it was because they were all overwhelmed with orders. I don’t know. Going to try something else next time. Average is better than not good, right.“

“Been going to this place for several months now in the span of a few years, for the past few years I've lived here in Albuquerque and this Panda Express has been the MOST reliable out of them all! Out of the MANY Panda Express restaurants I've been to, this one here has been the most consistent with it's food, service, and atmosphere. The most recent manager, named Ezra, has been a more recent hire from the time of writing this, despite having worked at this location for a week, he fits right in with everyone else and has been the most accomadating out of all the previous managers before him, he's also more out n' about compared to the others, the food here is excellent too, cooked to perfection nearly 80-90% of the time I've gone here, with the rare few times the food didn't come out right of course, having more flavor than most foods I've had, and not to mention the employees who are usually always friendly and have a funny bone most of the time when chatting with them. I recommend this Panda Express the most in particular to anyone who stops by this place and wants something good to fill their stomachs, or to just chill for a bit.

And to Ezra, if you see this, sorry for lying to you about the review ?, I never once thought about reviewing this place until you mentioned it and I got really nervous, so I lied in order to properly review this place, which, by all means, deserves a proper review after having been here for such a long time and for so many years, don't even know why the thought never crossed my mind honestly, thank you man, I hope you enjoy your time here and wish you luck, I look forward to the next time we meet, sorry for all the trouble lol.“
