First bite was completely raw chicken! It was chewy and when I looked completely pink. So maybe mistakes happen but I could have gotten salmonella poisoning. In addition they should have comped the whole meal and only took off the one dish?! Really? I mean that is serious! I ate nothing after making for a very awkward dinner, I was repulsed it ruined the whole outing. I waited to see if I'd come down with serious food poisoning thank god I didn't but swallowed raw garlic and apple cider vinegar as soon as I got home. A fun night! Also no formal apology, it ruined the night. The fact that they didn't seem to care is the big red flag here, never again!

Thai on canyon is very strange. I have been about 3-4x only because sometimes my thai food craving is extremely strong and I do not feel like driving to Albuquerque to satiate it. It is strange upon entering because I feel like I am letting myself in, I have never been greeted, I usually have to wait a long time to be seated or see waitstaff at all whether the restaurant is busy or completely empty. I always wonder do I grab a menu, do I seat myself, is the restaurant open? The ambiance is also strange, art hung on the walls that is very small for the walls and hung with tons of plastic hooks exposed and left where they have taken art down. The service is extremely slow, again, kinda like you are in a weird empty house unsure on how to proceed. Ambiance and service would get a 1-2 stars for me and that has been consistent with each visit.However, the food is flavorful, it has some depth at times depending on the dish and it tastes fresh. The sauces all seem sweet to me. I usually get the pad kee mao with tofu although I have tried and ordered various other things on the menu. It is satiating. It is neither great or upsetting. I do however get upset that they charge for rice even in dishes like curries that come with rice. So be aware no matter what you order rice is an up charge and they do not share this. We once paid $10 in rice unknowingly with a bigger party! Wouldn't have done this as we assumed rice came with the meals it is needed with... weird and would appreciate honesty around it costing extra.I am always left feeling weird after eating here and wishing I was better taken care of and felt more comfortable in the space.

The food is really good. Seriously. Best Thai in Santa Fe.The service is hit or miss. So are the hours. The last time I went in at 6:50.The gentleman up front told me they were closing at 7. Even though the website and the posted hours said they closed at 8. I pointed this out and he told me they were closing early. It was a nice day - no snow or storms or...anything.Fortunately we were able to walk in at El Farol. Always a lovely choice.The dining area is also not as clean or well maintained as is normal for this (expensive) part of Santa Fe. I was (am?) willing to over look that. But the closing early thing - very disappointing.The food is great, though.

I have been wanting to stop by this restaurant for a long time now, and I'm so glad I found the time one Monday afternoon. The restaurant was empty, but welcoming and cute. Our server was very pleasant and helped us decide on our dishes. We started with the Buddha dumplings which were in a creamy and flavorful curry sauce 10/10. I always resort to drunken noodles to see if I'm going to like a place. I asked for the dish to be spicy and received a medium spice level, but delicious nonetheless 9/10. My friend ordered the special soup of the day which was a Thai beef noodle. He enjoyed every last bit of it!We also ordered panang curry to go, I got the chicken. It was so flavorful and I kept wanting more 10/10. Arguably my favorite dish.I can't wait to go back and try more dishes!

They have good food, but this is the third time I've had a bad experience. Today was the nail. First time I ordered to-go on the phone, showed up and was given a look of confusion. Had to reorder and stand around waiting for food. No apologies. No comps.Today was in person to-go. Gave the order, paid, told to come back in 15 minutes only to come back and be given another look of confusion, as the kitchen was standing around. Had to resubmit the order. No apologies. No comps. Another time the same thing happened while seated inside. A group arrived after us. Ordered after us. But got their food and we waited another 20 minutes before being told there was a mixup. Waited another 20 minutes before being served. The other group was long gone. This time we did get an apology. But no comps. Overall bad experience and service, but good food. So 2 stars instead of 1.

This is great place!!! Most Thai restaurants in Santa Fe and Albuquerque are run by Laotians so are not authentic. This place is true Thai! The wait staff was friendly and attentive. They will prepare the food to suit your taste, spicy or mild. I had Pad See Ew and dumplings. DELICIOUS. It is a small place with an intimate feel. Do yourself a favor and try it!

Quaint little restaurant in a cool old building on Canyon Road. The service was outstanding and we were seated immediately. We started out with an appetizer of Fresh Thai Rolls and they were very good. I had the Pad Woon Sen and it was delicious. My wife had the Pad Thai and hers was also very good. Definitely very good Thai food. We plan to go back!

Food was good. Owner helped with my allergy questions. It was fine option more suitable for people without food allergies though.

When we came to pick up our order, the front of house staff said they had substituted our order for another item because they had run out of ingredients, and didn't offer any kind of discount.This sadly seems to be a case of a restaurant that is cutting costs on all sides without any clear benefit to the consumer. If the portions are smaller *and* the food is yet proportionately more expensive *and* the customer service is exponentially worse *and* you can't even rely on getting what you ordered, it's clear the only thing that is being optimized and protected are profits to ownership. I have been a long time customer, but we (like the party below us) have hit upon our final straw.

I used to love this place. The food still taste great but they have shrunk the carryout orders and raised the price. I get the Kra Pow which used to be $14.95 but now is $16.95. And you have to pay extra for rice.In the picture on the left is the old size and on the right is the shrunken current size. (I save my containers for other things).There are other options like Bo Thai which is also one of my favorites.If you go I think you will enjoy it but you may go away hungry.
