Food is decent, but very expensive, at $16-20 per dish. Counter service.

Gave us both food poisoning from the MSG, and if the $60 for 2 entrees wasn't enough, they charged an additional $2.50 for a side of cilantro. We'll never be back again

This is the first time I have been there since COVID. I don’t mind the order at the counter now but the food was not nearly as good as it used to be. Very bland. Everything I ordered was bland. They do give large portions but I would rather have tasty Thai food. My $15 tofu Pud Thai became $20 when asked to add on chicken. I had my 7 year old nephew with me and he only wants noodles so I ordered (or tried to order) just a plain plate of noodles and a coke. They finally understood that is was just some noodles. The noodles came cold and dry and not even any kind of sauce offerred. They forgot the coke in the original order and maybe instead of just giving him a coke which costs all of 10 cents, they made a deal about it and put a new ticket on my table for the coke. The Gaeng Woon Sen broth was very bland. I had to add sriracha just to get flavor. We also ordered the PuPu tray for 3 and that is exactly what you get - 3 pieces of each thing. The fried chicken was overcooked and the shrimp was refrigerator cold. My pud thai, soup, pupu platter, tea, and side of noodles was over $60. Thai Cuisine II across the street is much better, less expensive, and will not have a hard time with any changes if you need them. Thai Orchid was one of my favorites but I will have to look elsewhere. Maybe they were having a bad day but I just don’t think so. They also ask for a tip before you get you food. Not a big fan of that process.

This is a really good Thai restaurant in Albuquerque. They opened at 4 PM and there were already people waiting to be inside. They have a huge selection of Thai food and I feel we tried it all. You place your order at the counter and then they bring it out to you. We ordered the egg rolls and fried tofu which were great. We also ordered the Pas Thai noodles, ground chicken, eggplant, panang curry, duck and so much more. Everything was tasty. The service was great and the staff was friendly and helpful. The layout of the restaurant is pretty simple and they have plenty of tables throughout.

This used to be such a beautiful restaurant inside with water features and decor. It was one of my favorite restaurants in Albuquerque- the. best ambiance of any restaurant in Albuquerque!!! Now the food is ok but it feels like fast food and I can’t go back. Bill Daily used to go there, but you’d never know it.

I got the duck and it was wonderfully cooked. The portions were huge for the affordable price, and the staff was super nice and down-to-earth as well. A great spot to pop into for lunch while in Nob Hill!
