Visited August 6, 2024. Hint- the kimchi is not spicy at all. This time, we had the specials: sweet and sour chicken and Korean beef special. The specials are big: the main protein, rice or noodles, potstickers or egg rolls, salad, and a mini omelet, see the photos. Cost was $26.96 plus tip. Again, all very good. First visit. We ate a Korean Beef Bowl, Korea Style Glass Noodles and Thai Iced Tea for $31 plus tip. The flavor and quantity were more than what we expected. We will definitely go back. We were also given complimentary small pancakes that were delicious. The owner was very nice.

Stopped by after work with my boyfriend and was excited by how good it smelled. Then our food arrived and I was impressed with how fresh everything was, and the delicious flavors all complimented each other. We both got the BBQ Chicken Special. Super satisfying. Looking forward to coming back to taste the rest of the menu 😋

I work close by at Snap Fitness and this place is my "Go to" for a delicious, healthy, affordable cuisine! The owner is always so friendly and kind. The staff is courteous and professional as well. I highly recommend the Korean beef special and the veggie pancake. Try it all. You won't be disappointed. So good! 😊

We really enjoyed this restaurant. It is super casual which made it comfortable with kids. The prices were great and we loved the veggies and meat. I think it is super healthy, delicious, and a great value. The woman that helped us was so friendly we will be back!

The food and the service here were wonderful. I highly enjoyed my meal and the friendly staff. I got the beef and tried a little bit of the kimchi which normally I don’t do cause most kimchi is too much for me, but this was . I almost felt like ordering the kimchi alone to have some at home. I would definitely come here again and plan to.

I love Korean food. I was stationed there while in the Army. I am always on the look out for great Korean food and this is it! There wasn’t a whole lot left when I took this pic. I got the extra bulgogi and thank goodness! My family has been doing walk byes on my plate. We will be back many times!!!!

Asian pair is a really great option to stop in for a quick lunch. They have a variety of things to try including a few different Korean dishes. This is my second time stopping by and I will say this time the service was better in comparison to the last time a couple years ago. They were quick, but I did come at a weird time and not during the lunch rush. I did notice a few people had called ahead and that probably helped. I got one of the meal deals that came with meat and carbs as well as veggies and it's really just a good amount of food. You could easily make two meals out of it. The space itself is on the smaller side. There isn't a ton of seating, but there is seating. I would maybe recommend calling out during the busier lunch hours. Parking can kind of suck, the lot itself is just weird, but it's very manageable.

Random find. The prices on Yelp menu pictures was what drew me to this place. But make sure you're looking at the updated prices! Nonetheless, their menu is still decently priced for the portion. Bright and clean place upon entry. We were greeted right away. I shared their Korean Beef Special with Rice & Japchae with my little one. Beef was delicious and flavorful. The Japchae wasn't that impressive. I would get all rice next time. We also got 2 shrimp eggrolls ($1.98 each) which surprised me because they were VERY tiny for the price. We were also given a sample of their Korean pancake which was freshly made and crunchy. Thank you! Overall the food was good. Would consider returning and trying out their other dishes.

Delicious food with great quantities at a reasonable price. With scant options for Korean food around the city this place is definitely appreciated. Their pancakes are delicious, fresh fried, crispy with a nice chili oil side dip. Service was fast and unobtrusive. It's also a really nice view of the mountains from the restaurant. Perfect place to go for lunch or dinner! Will be returning here for sure.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was kind of packed, but it's because they have very limited seating because the font end is small. Everyone was nice and the service good. Let's talk food... I had the Korean beef special with pot stickers and half rice and half JapChea. The beef was tasty, the pot stickers were tiny and tasted average, and the JapChea was a little dry for my taste. But with all that being said, it was still good. I threw some sauce on the JapChea and it solved the issue. My girlfriend got the spicy tofu bowl and she was all about it and she was a fan of the JapChea. The kimchi pancake was good when dipped in the spicy sauce that accompanied it. Otherwise it was really thick batter, which was a little cakey for my preference. Make sure you get extra sauce because the one serving of sauce is not enough for the portion size. Someone else who was dining in had to get a to-go box for their leftovers. The beef gimbob was fine, it wasn't bad, and it wasn't the best. But I ordered the beef special, so maybe it was too much beef for that day. The only downside was the cabbage kimchi that they served on the side which had no flavor. It tasted like raw cabbage. My girlfriend thought the same thing. This is a 4 out of 5 and would come back to try other things on the menu. I would order takeout the next time around. This would hit the spot if you wanted a quick Korean fix in the area.

Uh lol, Korean food in Albuquerque. I appreciate that everything is cheap and the service workers are incredibly nice, but unfortunately this was not Korean food. - Kimchi Pancake - After I ate their complimentary kimchi which was basically fresh napa cabbage soaked in this spicy sauce, I knew that this pancake would not be very authentic. Because the kimchi wasn't great, the pancake didn't have a lot of kimchi flavor. Also there wasn't enough kimchi or lettuce in the pancake, it was mostly just dough. I do think that the pancake was fried to perfection though and I did appreciate the sauce. - Combo Special (BBQ Chicken & Beef) - Was not particularly impressed with the bowl. I thought both meats lacked flavor and were a bit tough to chew on. The japchae disintegrated in your mouth a little too easily and didn't have a lot of sesame oil flavor. The rice was good though! Overall, would not come back to eat here because of the lack of flavor.

Happen to be here in ABQ for business, again...this place is walking distance to my hotel. Now, I over do pizza, burgers and chicken so I wanted something different. I like what I got. 2 meat meat combo, beef & spicy pork. Comes with white rice, glass noodles(aka japchae) and some pickled cucumbers. Also in my bag was some Kim chi, chili sauce and a soy like sauce for dipping. I kinda over did it with half a veggie pancake that comes with it's own chili sauce..everything was great! Check my pics, give 'em a try, I'll be back.

My rice bowl was delicious, interesting and out of the usual. The restaurant is primarily fast food take out or casual dine-in. The space is smallish and was bustling, clean, and comfy. The service was friendly and kind, my only caveat, it took quite a while to get the food but I will be back again soon.

This place has great Korean bowls and everything is fresh! Not made until you order and the service is always prompt. It's not a "fancy" restaurant but it is a practical and delicious place! Fantastic for those who are trying to eat healthier fresh food!

Yelp
Good food. Cute atmosphere. Friendly staff. Their establishment was still fairly busy at 7:30pm which is always a good sign. The Combo bowl with BBQ chicken and beef with glass noodles was delicious. We also ordered the Korean Beef bowl with Glass noodles and it was equally delicious. The Spicy Tofu Bowl should be renamed the FIRE Tofu Bowl! In comparison to the other 2 bowls we ordered I wanted to enjoy it but after 3 bites I was done. It was extremely spicy and killed all of my taste buds. There was no option to adjust the heat level so I'm guessing the tofu is marinated in a firey bowl of mixed spice from hell. Next time I will stay away from anything marked as "Spicy".

Theodore D.

Yelp
Food is delicious! Comes with cucumber kimchi and cabbage kimchi on the side. Its a smaller spot so I would't take a large group. I just wish the food came in a bigger container. I got the combo and it took a little while to get to the rice and noodles without spilling everything. I usually just take it to go and put it on a plate when I get home!

The food is an absolute delight with plenty of vegetables and exposure to something different. The service, serving sizes, and ambiance are all lovely.

Asian Pear was a quick, casual eatery with a smaller menu. We had a shrimp egg roll, a chicken pot sticker apiece, the sweet and sour chicken bowl, and the Korean beef bowl. Kimchi, teriyaki sauce, and cucumber salad ramekins on the side. They have fountain drinks and cans of drinks, as well as an assortment of other drinks. I had mentioned to my husband I wanted to try the Korean vegetable pancake next time since he wasn't interested. The server surprised us with samples along with our meals. The shrimp egg roll was very small and what I would consider a spring roll. The pot stickers were fine; nothing to write home about. The bowls were good, but I added the teriyaki sauce, leftover pot stickers sauce, and cucumber salad to my bowl to make it more "saucy" and diversify the flavors a bit. The sauce on the sweet and sour chicken wasn't as sweet as I'm used to, etc I actually enjoyed. The pancake was exceptional! That will be the reason I return. Absolutely my favorite thing on the menu, as well as my husband's. It didn't even need any sauce, which is unusual for me. Overall, a quick, casual eatery with a bit better than average food with a sole exceptional item. Get the pancake!

I came here on Friday, July 22, 2022, with my sister and mother. The Asian Pear is located in a strip mall close to the Stone Face Tavern. There are five or six tables to eat inside, but most of their business is "to go". We ate inside, in celebration of my belated birthday. Mrs. Kim, who is the Korean hostess/owner/cashier, was extremely nice to us. She suggested food to try and even let us split the check. I ordered the combo bowl ($9.98), with bbq chicken, spicy pork, glass noodles, steamed rice, green onions, lettuce, and sesame seeds. We ordered a side of shrimp eggrolls ($1.98 each). My bowl had very fresh ingredients and I truly preferred the chicken to the pork. Shrimp eggrolls contained giant shrimp and a very crispy outer shell. While eating our food, Mrs. Kim brought out more for us to sample. She insisted we try her chicken potstickers, vegetable eggrolls and Korean vegetable pancake. All of these had light and delicious flavors and my favorite, besides my bowl, was the Korean pancake. That combination of vegetables with the dipping sauce really hit the spot. Thank you so much, Mrs. Kim, for letting us sample your delicious dishes! Needless to say, we left this unassuming restaurant really full. I had to take some of the food home to my wife, and she loved it. If you like fresh, delicious Korean food, delivered with a smile, in large quantities visit the Asian Pear. The prices are very reasonable. My suggestion would be to sit down and enjoy the food, rather than take it to go. It will be hotter and much fresher.

I love their Kim Bap. It's quick and easy to pick up. My heart was reassured when I saw a Korean lady (probably the owner) supervising and putting the plates together. Great service too.

Terri H.

Yelp
This is a tasty little storefront that does a rocking' business of churning out quick, delicious, mainly Korean food that is very true to what can be found Seoul, but made for an American market. A large menu is printed on the wall next to the counter cashier and has a small but tasty selection for Korean food. They have a take out service, and small counter, and a few tables that stay filled. As soon as you are done, they swiftly swoop in, clean it, and it's ready again. The tables are full and we'll turned over because the food is that good! Our Korean vegetable pancake was full of flavor, crispy and even the next day, microwaved were just as tasty! My table mates polished off their combo plates and said it was some of the best Korean food they have tasted in ABQ! My rice bowl with chicken was full of flavor, tender chicken, tasty sauce, and fluffy rice. My only complaint, there's not enough space for more folks to have a seat, have some tasty grub and people watch. Wishing them continued success and hope you will be able to expand! Do yourself a favor, get some Korean flavor!

This place was fantastic! The service was amazing and the food was good. The older lady, I'm guessing the owner, brought out or 6mo a plate of his own food free of charge! They were so nice and very family friendly. I'll recommend to everyone.

Food was perfectly cooked. The sauces were just right and the service was fast and responsive! A great place for a quick meal or carry out! The pancakes were delicious, and the beef special was amazing with the japchae and potstickers!

Their kimchi pancakes are my FAV. Chewy and perfectly crispy and FLAVORFUL! I wish they made tuna mayo kimbap. Their tuna kimbap is slightly dry for my liking. Other than that, I love the convenience of getting a quick kimchi fix from Asian Pear!

Janelle R.

Yelp
Food is always consistently delicious! The flavors are amazing and the food isn't greasy!! It's a healthier Korean fusion style restaurant. My favorite is the bulgogi beef bowl. I would recommend trying the kimchi and the cucumber salad as well. The vegetable pancakes are a great appetizer.

Liz J.

Yelp
Small cafeteria style place where you walk up and order. Stopped by on a Tuesday evening to pickup a bulgogi bowl. They have a small dining room with a fridge filled with Asian teas and drinks for purchase. The bowl had a general amount of beef, but the beef had some chunks of gristle that was too hard to chew. I wish the bowl had more veggies in it to make it a more balanced meal but that's just me. They do offer little cups of kimchi which is nice. Super fast and basic place to stop by for a quick meal. It hit the Korean spot so I'll be back.

Yelp
A hole in the wall family owned Korean restaurant located in a strip mall that serves Korean rice bowls off of a flat top. Across the American you'll see these types of establishments everywhere, but in Albuquerque they come rare and few. The menu itself is standard for this type of establishment. The bugogli's, pancakes, japchae, korean ramen, tofu, etc. Nothing out of the ordinary. But sometimes that's what we need in our life. A staple korean restuaunt in our life that doesn't break the wallet and is quick. With appropriate pricing and solid food, I can see myself coming by everyday if I lived closer.

In town for business and I was looking for a new spot to eat that I don't get in AZ. Walked in and was great and the hostess kindly walked me their menu and made recommendations. I'll say she was spot on with recommendations. The number 5 and veggie spring rolls tasted great. They even sampled me the Veggie pancakes. What flavor! I'll definitely be back next trip.

I stopped in to get something healthy after having a stressful medical appt. Glad I did. A very "simple" restaurant with no fancy decor and nice soft music. I was greeted quickly and asked for a recommendation since the menu was different from Chinese or Japanese food that I'm use to. So I ordered the #1 most popular dish of BBQ grilled chicken w brown rice, lettuce and teriyaki sauce. I also got #21 Half a fried Korean Vegetable Pancake w sauce. Both were very good and satisfying. My friend got the #7 Mixed Vegetable and meats Rice bowl w an egg on top. Both of us enjoyed our lunches and would order them again.

I visited Asian Pear for the first time to provide a meal for our book club to discuss the book In Order to Live (which is about a woman who escaped North Korea--you really should read it). Anyway, the owner suggested several dishes which were all amazing! We loved the Korean Pancakes, glass noodles, Korean beef, and Korean Sushi! We will definitely be going back!

What else would I be getting from here other than the Kimchi Pancake! I liked that there were plenty of parking spots in front of the shop...so it was kind of no hassle/worries when it comes to finding a decent parking spot for your car. This lil shop has just a few tables and a counter to order table, so during COVID time, it may be hard for you to bank on sitting inside to eat there once you get your food. The lady who took my order was nice and polite. I put my order in...wait maybe 5 min for them to fry up my order and I was eating in bliss in no time. I also appreciated that even I ordered the pancake as a full meal itself, they still also give me extra pieces of those pancakes (like what any other customers would get, too). Upon leaving, the owner seemed to care about her customers (while eating, I saw she recognized and chatted with some of her more regular customers, too). She asked me how the food was to make sure I was satisfied with her food (and I did!!). Overall, I thought it was a decent casual joint..and I would return again when I have craving for Korean food (esp the pancakes)...it probably maybe not very super authentic Korean and not the cheapest, but hey...the shop is clean..and it's ABQ, you can't expect much from Asian food (other than Vietnamese food) here!

We had never had Korean food so we decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised how delicious the meals were. I got the dough pork bowl and it was super delicious. The Thai Ice Tea was awesome!! Fabulous customer service. We'll definitely be back.

Get over here immediately!!! I was blown away by the taste and flavour! Okay...I am LOVING how my new iphone 13 captures food!!! @thoren1986!!! Thanks for talking me into it! if you have not gotten out to Asian pear In Albuquerque, New Mexico....why not??? The food tastes AMAZING. I highly suggest the Korean Style Glass Noodles (Japchae). I took in the vegetarian option. The Korean Vegetable Pancakes (Vegan) are EPIC!!! I drove all the way here for the pancakes...and it was worth it!!!! TIP: add soy sauce to the pancake sauce. Amazing!!! Follow me on IG: adventures_in_eating_

I have eaten both in the restaurant and had take out multiple times over the years that they have been open. I normally order a Korean beef special, which consists of bulgogi beef with some salad, a rolled egg, mandu, and rice. I also order a vegetable pancake and japchae. I honestly can't say it was when the pandemic started, but I noticed every time after the pandemic, I've only been getting burnt vegetable pancakes and japchae not filled to the top of the take out bowl. Don't get me wrong because the food (when it isn't burnt) is delicious. They only give one little container of sauce for the vegetable/kimchi pancake so always ask for extra because for the amount of pancake you get, there's no way you can finish it with just one container of sauce. So really, the only issue I have here is that I'd like less burnt pancakes and at least fill the japchae to the top. Hopefully that isn't too much to ask for.

Ordered at 4:58 pm and didn't receive my order till 5:26. It took me 10 minutes to eat my food. No apology just a stare. I've been coming here for the past 4 years and not sure what happened to this place but, it has gone downhill slowly. Good doesn't even taste the same.

May being Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we decided to support at least one local Asian American-owned business each week. Today we ventured to Asian Pear because Korean food just sounded really good. There are a heck of a lot of options on the menu, and most importantly to Raz, some of those options are completely vegetarian. Let's face it, New Mexico is a heavily ranch-influenced state, so anyone daring to offer a whole meal that doesn't involve something which once had hooves or feathers is worth visiting for that alone. Bonus points to be awarded for the absence of butter and heavy sauces in the preparation. Fitting that bill, we ordered the spicy tofu bibimbap, veggie pancake, and kimchee pancake. I fell back on my own ranch heritage and got a bulgogi bowl for myself too. First, let me say that the thin-cut beef was super tender, and even though it was cooked all the way through, it still tasted beefy enough to know a cow was involved even after slathering it in spicy garlicky chile paste. Long story, short, that was one awesome bowl. The fresh, shredded lettuce didn't feel like filler, either, but added both refreshing coolness and crisp texture to the dish. Next time my iron is low, I'm forgetting steak and coming back for more bulgogi. Raz felt pretty much th he same about the spicy tofu, veggies, and rice all mixed up with spicy garlic-chile paste. However, neither of these amazing dishes are why we're going to put Asian Pear on our regular restaurant rotation. Not because they lacked anything, but because the Veggie and Kimchee pancakes are just that addictive. I've tried making Asian-style veggie pancakes, and as simple as they seem, they are an impressive feat to get right. Asian Pear's are perfect. They're crispy on the outside without being dry or the veg inside tasting over cooked. They taste fresh, slightly smoky, and simultaneously full of pan-fried delicious flavor. The salty/sweet/spicy dipping sauce that accompanies them takes that taste heaven one notch higher. I still can't decide if I like the fresh veggie taste or the briny, spicy kimchee flavor ubderlying the pancake better, and so I rate both pancakes equal. Raz prefers the kimchee. Either way, the proprietors if Asian Pear can expect us routinely from now on for pancakes. We encourage everyone else in Albuquerque to try these too, along with the rest of the menu.

I'm wondering if I missed something here? I'm usually on board with other reviewers but rating is lower than most. And, I didn't see anything Japanese on the menu which i expected from how Yelp categorized it. I didn't order what people seem to be raving about...kimchi and vegetable pancakes. When I try a restaurant new to me, I usually stick with the basics of what I usually like so I can compare to other restaurants. So here, I got two to-go orders which I split with my dinner companion so we could sample a bigger variety: Sweet and Sour Chicken special and Korean Beef special. We got the rice, glass noodles, egg rolls and pot sticks as our selections. There was a short line when I got there and a 15 min wait after I ordered. I just sat in my car to not take a table as the seating area was a bit on the small side. It looked very clean, but no frills. Back to the food...unfortunately, I never think food is as good when you take it home and zap it in the micro. The Sweet & Sour Chicken was OK but hardly any sauce. So, not what I was expecting. Is that Korean style? I don't know. The beef was ok, too. I think I would have enjoyed the egg rolls more but they got soggy. In carrying the containers home, I think they tipped and liquid got into the egg roll section. Pot stickers were fine. There were two small cups of sauce which had nice flavors. Not sure what they were for? Dipping sauces? One was thicker, a chile sauce and that was my favorite part of the meal. It had a bite to it so I used sparingly, but I saved the leftover amount and have since added it to eggs and to ramen and both were good. The other sauce was the type you get for dipping tempura, light & brown. Good flavor. The noodles were good but my preference is rice. Considering the was only one $ in Yelp to indicate price range, I was surprised the prices weren't a little lower, but they seemed fair. I will give this restaurant another try but I won't rush back. And I'll try to order better next time or take someone who knows Korean food and can help me choose.

Fresh and tasty Korean options. The veggie pancake was delicious, Gimbap was spot on, and the dosirak with Korean beef and all the trimmings was neatly packaged and tasty. We are big city folk but can't find any fast and delicious Korean options in Chicago like this spot in Albuquerque. Portions are also generous and service is friendly. Definitely check them out!

Rye B.

Yelp
Recommended by a good friend. Limited seating inside, but I was lucky and snagged a table. The bulgogi is tasty, I'd like to try other things on the menu. Only downer was that Google said they had sundubu jjigae and sadly, they do not. I'll probably get takeout next time!

Great place, we've been going since their time in downtown ABQ. Good selection of Korean home cooking, really like themmplace.

Laura B.

Yelp
Absolutely wonderful freshly prepared food to order. We have been to Korea many times, as my husband worked there and this was as good as any Korean food that we enjoyed there. The Bento Box had all the great variety you would expect. There were 2 kinds of kimchi. One was spicy cab and the other milder spicy cucumber. The beef bowl and chicken bowls both had white rice with rice noodles, and lettuce and cabbage with a gentle sauce. The ramen was full of tofu, noodles, carrots and a hard boiled egg that was cut in half in a tasty broth. I enjoyed the Korean vegetable pancakes with Sriracha sauce. The Thai ice tea and regular ice tea were good too. You need to add sweetener to fit your taste buds. You order at the register and it is brought to you promptly when ready, with a variety of sauces to try and enjoy. The place was clean and the kitchen was well maintained, which tells a lot about the place. Cleanliness is good.We definitely will be back soon.

I hadn't been here in a while, but my husband asked to go for his bday. I remember when the location used to be on Central, and it was always a favorite when I was downtown. We thoroughly enjoyed the crispy Korean pancake, japchae, Korean beef dinner and spicy chicken bowl. My husband also ordered the egg rolls and dumplings. Plentiful with much to take home. Meat was juicy, and japchae was well-seasoned. I need to get back soon but it is a bit far from home. Restaurant is clean, and staff were friendly.

the service and hospitality are a warm welcoming hug. the food is amazing, and very reasonable priced. Myself and my entire party are very happy we came across the Asian Pear and enjoyed our experienc. we will remem this place for our next Albuquerque trip.

The food was tasty and hot! the veggie pancake super crunchy on the outside while savory and delicious on the inside. It was sinful, the Korean beef was yummy, sweet n sour was tasty but a different style sweet and sour than you may be used to. The staff were so kind and attentive, Definitely recommend

Denise B.

Yelp
Asian Pear is so delish! It's fresh and yummy every time we eat there. I love all of their dishes and the pancake and red sauce is amazing too! One of the best Asian restaurants in ABQ! I do think the location is unfortunate bc the parking lot is a nightmare, but I still love eating at AP.

Dan M.

Yelp
Stopped by on the way from airport to Santa Fe based on reviews. Sweet hostess and good service. Loved the banchan, especially the pancakes. We ordered the spicy tofu bowl and the special bento box with tofu. Both were very good, the dumplings in the bento box were especially tasty. I will say the two meals were very similar, the bowl was a combination of about 80% of the box. Would like to see some other, more distinct options. That being said, good food.

Kris S.

Yelp
Great food, good options and good prices. The food is always tasty and never too heavy, as the amount in the bento boxes always feels like just enough. Good for a quick bite or a fun lunch choice.

I don't frequent here super often, vecause im not very often near there, and if i am im often lured to the tin can alley. but i must say they really are consistently good.

oh my goodness, I am so happy Asian Pear has chosen this location to serve up the goods....I made a quick stop here for some korean veggie pancakes, and they were sooo darn good. I saw the food coming out to other tables and it was making my mouth water... I truly am looking forward to trying one of their bowls and specials on the next go round. Also, such a sweet family, super friendly and it's a pleasure to support this biz.

Heather C.

Yelp
I felt like this place is good, just not necessarily to my taste. I really liked the vegetable pancakes- they were flavorful, rich, and had a delicious dipping sauce. My combo platter was a bit hit and mess for me personally . The beef was flavorful but the pork was pretty bland. The noodles were delicious but the rice was underwhelming. The Thai tea was tasty but left an almost chalky taste in my mouth. I have a lot of friends that love this place and I've heard so many good things but I just left feeling like "meh" . So long story short- I don't think this place is for me, but I'd recommend you try it out because it is not bad by any means .

Kirstin B.

I love this place!!! As some who lived in South Korea for years- the food here captures the essence of S.Korea perfectly. The owner is kind and the food is fantastic! Make sure to try the pancake and anything with bulgogi in it!
