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!

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.

Amazing food. Quick service and great atmosphere. The iced tea was horrible and old but the food was so amazing I can’t even 4 star it for that. Get soda or water.

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.

We have enjoyed every visit to Budai, and especially appreciate how they’re able to make most entrees gluten free. Their service is always friendly. The black pepper lamb may be perfection!

This is a step above a buffet-style Chinese restaurant. You sit down family-style and they take your order at the table and they make you feel like family. We shared orders of Chicken in garlic Sauce and Cashew Shrimp that was perfect. The atmosphere is quiet and just right for an intimate dinner. It’s a restaurant I highly recommend and I will keep going back to.

On Sunday August 6th, 2023, my grandfather and I went to Budai as it was an all time favourite of his. He would reminisce about coming here with all his friends and enjoying a whole fish. However our experience that night wasn’t that pleasant. The food was good, however my grandfather received two stones in his food. The first one he didn’t think much of and ate it thinking it was a peppercorn, however, the second one, he took out of his mouth and realized it was a stone. We called the waiter over who confirmed it was a stone. The waiter then called his manager Elsa over, to see what the next steps would be. The manager said that since all the food was almost finished (2 plates, Curry Chicken and Kung Pao Shrimp), there’s nothing she can do and that it would have to be an insurance claim. Right after, she left and came back with the bill claiming that we would have to pay the full amount since the plates were almost finished. My grandfather stated that we should receive some sort of compensation for their wrongdoing. Elsa said that she won’t do anything because he already ate one stone, and didn’t eat the other one. My grandfather refused to pay the bill as he felt that he shouldn’t have to due to the contaminated food. Elsa then forced us to leave, and stated that she would be suing us.

Delicious food and friendly service. Very accommodating for gluten free- my fiance got the general tso’s chicken gluten free and he said it was some of the best general tso’s he’s ever had.
