Thai Spice

Wow! What an awesome place! I wish we had this place at my hometown, I’d be there every day dining. Food is absolutely fantastic, very tasty and healthy. Great ambience and service. The restaurant won many rewards and I totally agree with that. It’s very close to the airport. Thank you for your delicious food and hospitality ! We will be back when visiting Albuquerque again.

Thai Spice, you saucy little legend—you’ve officially ruined all other Thai food for us. Let’s set the scene: It’s date night. We’re hungry. We’re adventurous. We want noodles, spice, and a little culinary magic. Enter Thai Spice, stage left, ready to deliver a full-blown flavor mic drop. We kicked things off with the fried dumplings because, let’s be honest, it’s not a real meal without something fried to start the party. These dumplings weren’t just good—they were make-you-close-your-eyes-and-slow-chew good. Crispy little clouds of glory stuffed with seasoned perfection. If there were more, we would have fought each other for the last one. Probably to the death. My wife ordered the cashew stir fry, which arrived looking like a Pinterest food board and tasting like a wok full of dreams. The veggies were fresh, the sauce was rich and just the right amount of sticky, and those cashews? Honey, they were roasted to crunchy, nutty royalty status. I went full flavor-commando and ordered the drunken noodles—because sometimes you want your noodles sloppy, spicy, and just a little scandalous. And Thai Spice delivered. Wide noodles swimming in bold, garlicky sauce, with just the right heat level to make your tastebuds throw a rave. It was one of those meals where you keep eating even after you’re full because you don’t want the magic to end. (RIP to my leftovers plan.) But wait—dessert. Thai. Tapioca. Let me just say this: if you’ve never had Thai tapioca before, this is your sign from the starch gods. It’s creamy, lightly sweet, a little chewy, and somehow the perfect cool-down after the spice parade. It’s like a cozy rice pudding and a coconut milk spa day had a delicious baby. And now for the true MVP of the evening: Pim, our waitress. Pim is the kind of server who makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. She’s adorable, attentive, and somehow manages to appear exactly when you need her—like a food ninja in the best way. Pim, if you’re reading this, you’re a national treasure. Bottom line: Thai Spice is a hidden gem that should be on everyone’s radar. If you’re in Albuquerque and not eating here, I assume you either hate joy or got lost on the way to flavor town. We’ll be back. Probably weekly. Possibly tomorrow.

Thai Spice delivered a delightful dining experience with a mix of vibrant flavors and generous portions. Our meal included a variety of dishes: beef salad, ginger stir-fry with beef, sweet and sour chicken stir-fry, fresh spring rolls, fried rolls, and sticky rice for dessert. Starting with the appetizers, the fresh spring rolls were generously sized and bursting with freshness, while the fried rolls were simply amazing, crispy on the outside and flavorful inside. Moving on to the main courses, both the beef salad and ginger stir-fry with beef impressed with their tender meat and crunchy vegetables. The sweet and sour chicken stir-fry was a hit as well, perfectly balancing tangy and sweet flavors. Despite a busy dining room, the service was commendable though the food did take a bit longer to arrive, which was understandable given the freshness and cooking to order. Highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the sticky rice dessert, which we all loved for its rich, satisfying sweetness. Overall, Thai Spice offers a memorable dining experience with delicious food that's worth the wait. We look forward to returning to explore more of their menu. Went back the next day for more and the service was very quick even though they were quite busy. Love this place.

Great lunch. One of my new favorite spots for sure! Great food, atmosphere, price and service.

Thai Spice is my favorite Thai restaurant in Albuquerque. Their massaman curry and rice is my absolute favorite, and if you’re looking for the best pad thai in ABQ, you’ve found the place. Wonderful service and kind people. Just beware, as someone who thoroughly enjoys spice, do not take their spice labels lightly! Hot = HOT

Best Thai food in Albuquerque! The service is fast and friendly. Many great options to choose from.

Excellent Thai food. Prices are on par if not the most reasonable in the city. The location is far from where we normally dine but this was worth trying as many people claim it’s good - and they are not wrong. The Pad Thai is actually a little fishier than most places but the texture and taste were still amazing. Their pineapple curry was incredible. Full of flavor and nearly authentic (since we were just in Thailand and had plenty of delicious curry). Considering we (USA) don’t have all the correct ingredients to make the best curry around, this was as good as you can get.

Wonderful preparation of some of my Thai favorites (Thai beef salad and Rad Na). Service was quick and friendly. We came on a friend's recommendation and enjoyed it immensely. Parking and ambient noise were the only things less than par. Will eat here, again.
