Oh my god, I tried the Crispy Flounder for the first time. It is spectacular. The texture was perfect, the sauce heavenly. I may have a new favorite dish here.
Food was amazing! Some of the best xioa long bao I've ever had. Staff was super friendly and gave me a crash course in soup dumpling etiquette. Will be visiting again.
Food (garlice sauce squid) was very tasty. Service was a little lacking but to be fair, they have signs up stating they are short on staff and to please be kind. To explain, I was never offered water or given my check until I went to register. Room temp was uncomfortably warm but that could just have been me. Overall, it was good food and the people were courteous enough.
I've finally found my favorite Chinese restaurant! I went with a friend today and ordered the mini shrimp dumplings, ma po tofu (extra spicy), salt and pepper short ribs and beef stew in clay pot.
Everything was so good and flavorful! The mini shrimp dumplings were soft, tender and tasty. The ma po tofu had little bits of pork in it and was full of umami flavor and soft tofu. It's the best I've had so far in NM. Salt and pepper short ribs were super tender inside with a light and crispy exterior and perfectly seasoned. There was no prim and proper way to eat them, so we just dug in. The beef stew in clay pot was impressive! It came sizzling to our table and the aroma!!! So flavorful with tender beef, Napa cabbage and clear glass noodles on the bottom. So very good!
We had just missed the lunch rush. The service was polite and efficient. Our server seemed to be happy to see us enjoying our food so much. Very nice guy.
We were so happy to be seated at a comfortable booth. So many restaurants seem too modern and almost sterile. This place has a warm and comfortable feel.
This is a place we'll go out of our way to visit again. I can't wait to take my husband next time!
This is my go to place for great Chinese tofu dishes. Never disappoints! If you want to try out their food, the lunch menu is fairly priced and delicious. Great place to go with a group, too!

This little gem serves something very special....soup dumplings. Yes, they are smaller than usual however, the size allows for a full mouth bite size. The sauce is bomb. And they serve in stainless steel which is more sanitary than the bamboo steam things. If you're a new Yorker missing Chinatown, this is your place!
I'm literally hooked on a dish they prepare especially for me. That's correct - they may not like this too much, but the owners will prepare something for you if they have the ingredients to do so. I'm stuck on the eggplant, chicken (no Broccoli) add a few bean sprouts and not too spicey! The absolute bomb dish! These owners will do everything to make you what you want. And the quality is amazing. If you want the very best in Asian food, look no farther than Budai. Open their front door with a hard pull and come taste the best in Albuquerque.
The food is delicious and authentic. We shared several dishes family style. Service was also great! I'll definitely be back.
Wonderfully surprised by this little spot in a strip mall. I enjoy Chinese food, but American versions are often too sweet and syrupy. This place is not! Fresh, good spice level and balanced. How have I not stopped before?? I plan to rectify my mistake by frequenting this great tasting restaurant. Def recommend. Good vegetarian options, too!
If you’re trying to satisfy a real Asian appetite such as Szechuan or similar and you like certain ingredients not found on the menu just ask the wife “Miss Elsa” and her amazing chef, husband to prepare for you your favorites- there probably going to spank me when they read this but those two owner operators have been preparing for me almost weekly my favorites all in one entree. Unbelievable is all I can say besides tasting delicious. What a great discovery. Check out this tucked away little piece of culinary Heaven you won’t be disappointed. See you next week for my usual! Try Budai “the bomb” Restaurant in the far north center with Sprouts and Petco.
Ok, coming from Seattle, you have most places outside the International District there beat. This is seriously some of the most delicious, authentic dishes I've ever had. And the appetizers! Those 5-spice ribs are divine. The soup dumplings are just addictive. I had the crispy fish and it was just perfect. Not a cheap restaurant, but 1000% worth it for a treat!
a bit pricy for the portions. But decent taste and heathy food. Rice is of better quality than most other restaurants. Ice tea does not worth 2.5 dollar each. Service was decent as well. Relatively clean. I don’t think the food are upscaled...just normal Chinese dishes.
