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.

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!

We love this place. This was our second time and it was great. The food is amazing! The service can be a bit slow, and the restaurant itself is pretty small. But worth it!

My first time experience- I placed a quick take out order of vegetarian lo mein with tofu. The dish was horrible!! Probably the worst I’ve have tried in my entire life. There was absolutely no seasoning/sauce etc in the lo mein . The noodles looked boiled with a few pieces of stir fried veggies. The worst part was the tofu. It tasted and smelled like they dipped it in cough syrup or something. It was so foul that I decided to not consume the dish afraid to get sick. money wasted!! Never going back or recommending it to others.

After our disappointing attempt to get service at Tula’s kitchen here in Albuquerque, we came to our favorite backup! Best Chinese food in town!

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.

A bit pricey (~$15), but the food is worth it. After relentless searching for a good Chinese restaurant in Albuquerque, it was refreshing to find, not just a good one, but the best!
