First visit: Oct 2025
Seems every other visit to Albuquerque reveals a new favorite Thai place, and then we dismiss it on the second try. Hopefully that doesn't happen here. One of the best Thai meals we've experienced in a long time. I ordered my Thai Basil "Thai style" and received it exactly as hoped. Loaded with smoky ground chicken, rice, tons of basil and peppers, and very spicy. I laid off Thai Hot only because we were traveling, but it's apparent I would have received it that way. They also provide Prik Nam Pla, and I loaded up on those oily spicy red cut peppers. I miss those flavors. Mrs. RJG had one of the curries (I'll confirm which soon) and loved every drop of it.
The restaurant is cozy inside, with plenty of plants and vegetation. As expected, to-go orders seem to dominate the kitchen's time.
Pad Thai Cafe resides in the southeast part of town. It sits in one of those strip centers that features an international grocery store and a Jamaican restaurant. No alcohol.
