"I was visiting Santa Fe from LA and asked my Airbnb host about restaurant recommendations. He suggested this place for fine dining. So on my last night I decided to check it out. Made a reservation for 445 pm for counter seating. I'd have preferred a table but guess since I was a solo diner it had to be the counter. I was worried about parking but they had free valet parking which was nice. I got there before the valet was open so just parked and waited until he got there to give my keys. He walked me into the restaurant which I thought was very nice. When I walked in I was greeted by the host and she took my coat to store it. Then walked me to the bar. Seats were actually pretty spacious. No one was next to me but had there been there was space not to feel crowded. I ordered the canyon road sunset from the cocktail and it was very good. Then I had the risotto. Some of the best I've had. I wanted to lick my plate but didn't want to appear uncouth so I refrained. I was also brought out an amuse bouche that was mushroom sherry soup and it was tasty as well. For my entree I had the lamb. It was cooked perfectly. I wanted full so didn't order dessert but I was brought out a complimentary scoop or sorbet. Overall I had a great meal and would return. Once I left the valet brought me my car. It was already warm. Even the seat warmers were on. Great service and great food. Not inexpensive but worth it."

Poki Poki Cevicheria

★★★★☆ 4.4 (438) • $$

"Venturing into Poki Poki for lunch on a dreary, rainy day was an absolute delight. Perfectly situated next to Sweet Cup, it's a haven for those craving a culinary treat followed by a sweet indulgence. Poki Poki impresses with its immaculately clean restrooms and exceptional service, offering a unique dining experience spread across two inviting sections, each featuring its own bar and an enchanting second floor. The Tiki Tiki-themed atmosphere adds a vibrant touch, creating a cozy yet adventurous setting.Their drink selection is noteworthy, boasting a fountain of sodas and juices, ensuring a refreshing complement to any meal. Not to be missed is the little dessert corner, courtesy of Sweet Cup, showcasing an irresistible array of sweets from tiramisu to tres leches that promises to end your meal on a high note. As a beer aficionado, I opted for a Topo Chico, finding it a refreshing departure from my usual.The highlight of my visit was the Boss Bowl - a masterful blend of white rice, corn tortilla chips, spicy and Ahi tuna, salmon, topped with fusion mayo and spicy Poki, avocado, Krab, edamame, and jalapeno corn. This bowl not only satisfied my hunger but also tantalized my taste buds with its exquisite flavors and textures.Poki Poki has undoubtedly set a high bar for a dining experience that's as delightful as it is memorable. A must-visit for anyone looking to elevate their lunch plans, it earns a well-deserved five stars from me."

Sushi Xuan

★★★★☆ 4.2 (332) • $$

"Sushi Xuan is one of my top 3 fav restaurants in town. I haven't had a dish here I haven't liked. I always recommend people try the Monkey balls, bento boxes, any of the chef special rolls but especially the Make My Day, Sushi Xuan, and Lollipop roll are my favorites. The hot and sour soup is also great, so is the fried rice. I also really love the Tonkatsu ramen here- one of the best ramens in town in my opinion! Another common order is the curry shrimp which is always really tasty. I have dined in and ordered takeout from here multiple times and never been let down. The food always comes out really quickly and the servers are all really great. I've been here with a large group and also been seated quickly. The restaurant is always very clean and welcoming. My family will continue to come back often!"

Orchid Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.7 (251) • $$

"The FOOD? Oh my! It is outstanding. Orchid on every plate. Everything my dining companions selected was, without a doubt the perfect selection. I so wanted to ask to trade, or just have a bite or two, but I wasn't willing to give up a single morsel of mine. If you had seen and tasted it you would understand why I was being selfish. It was that good. The solution is to come back and try all their dishes. The SERVICE? Polite, professional and fast. Couldn't ask for anything more. Our server never missed a beat. The AMBIANCE? Comfortable. A little stark. Tile and metal. But clean and without a doubt their concentration is on the outstanding food - where it should be.Orchid now sits right on the top of my list for Thai cuisine in ABQ. Perhaps anywhere. It deserves at least a 5 star review. In my opinion a few more stars wouldn't hurt."

Sushi Freak - ABQ Uptown

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (278) • $

"I'm giving 4 stars because everything I ordered was delicious. The Kookmeyer burrito with calamari, jalapeños, cream cheese, rice, avacado wrapped in seaweed was ao yummy The Philadelphia roll was good too. I really liked the green Chile egg roll. I wasn't real impressed with the menu. A lot of the rolls had Krab which is just white fish soaked in crab oil. I'm not a fan. I have another sushi place I like where I get more food for less money so I'm not sure if I'll be back."

Fun Noodle Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (173) • $$

"We recently tried takeout from this spot and overall had a mixed experience. I ordered the beef fried rice and it was delicious! I added a bit of garlic at home to kick up the flavor even more, and it hit the spot perfectly.We chose takeout because the delivery fee was super cheap, and we couldn't make it out with the kids' bedtime creeping up. The food took a little longer to arrive than we hoped, but it was still warm and ready to eat.My husband went for the shrimp tempura but was a little bummed to find it had a bunch of veggies mixed in. For the price, we were expecting a more generous portion of shrimp.Despite this, we'll definitely give this place another try--perhaps dining in next time to get the full experience. Overall, a good option for quick takeout, especially for those nights when getting out isn't easy."

Zeng Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (117)

"I tried this place for the first time recently while visiting my folks from out of state. They said Zeng's was relatively new to the area and had gotten rave reviews so we gave it a shot. First off, to be fair, I will say that my parents really liked the entire experience, from the ambience to the food. They even got a kick out of the little robot server strolling around with food and drinks to the various tables. Speaking of which, all the tables were full, and there were plenty of people sitting on the outside patio as well so they must be doing something right.Unfortunately I just didn't care for the food. I tried the Mongolian Beef, fried wantons and Lo Mein. I found there was just way to much oil used on almost all the food. MSG? Chili sauce? Honestly I am not sure what it was, except that it made it almost unpalatable to me. I eat a lot of Chinese food, so it's not that I am picky, but there are a few places I can't go back to because they use too much of a (as-yet unidentified by me) ingredient which gives me a hard stomach ache. This place has now hit that sad list of Chinese food joints I just won't go back to."

Zu Hot Pot

★★★★☆ 4.2 (107) • $$

"We love Zu Hot Pot. Our daughter introduced us to this place and it's become a favorite. I will say, it's a little pricey, but everything is so fresh and tasty."

"I'm thankful that Hanmi is a short walk from my home!! Their lunch specials are AMAZING....many options; huge portions; tasty hot and sour soup; friendly, efficient servers; and a relaxed, mellow vibe....Hanmi is a great place to get a good meal and to relax with friends. Thanks for sharing your lovingly prepared food in my 'hood, Hanmi!!"

Happy Asian Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.6 (14)

"I called in a to go order for this place (which I think is fairly new) in a never-ending quest to find Chinese food my husband likes. We've tried over a dozen joints and even though I like them, he pushes them away. So all of my fingers and toes were crossed for this time. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, pad Thai w chicken and crab rangoons. Probably not the most authentic order, but I can never turn up a good pad Thai. When I showed up, there appeared to be only one gentleman cooking, serving, and running the joint. I only waited a few minutes before he came up with our entire order, piping hot. The dining area appeared to be clean and in good repair, but that's all I can speak to about the atmosphere. Now on to the food. The crab Rangoons had pieces of crab and green onion in the filling and were crispy and light. I finished the entire order on the way home. No dipping sauce needed. In addition, my husband raved about the light breading on the sweet and sour and said everything was fresh and well cooked. I couldn't finish more than a few bites of my pad Thai but if had a tangy heat to it that I loved. Everything was just as it should be, and a great value for the price. We will be back, and wish you much luck!"
