It's literally like being in someones home. You will watch the owner cook everything from scratch, just like your own mother. Some of the best Thai food I've ever had!

Ordered for delivery at 5:45 PM finally delivered at 7 PM. The worst Thai food that I have ever had in my 57 years on this planet. Soggy steamed dumplings. Soup like curry. Bordering on burnt Spring rolls. The soup was edible, but the only difference from Thom Yum was perhaps a hint of what may or may not have been coconut milk. Save your money and your time and go somewhere else.

This is the best Thai food I’ve ever had in Albuquerque. We tried it out last night and the woman who runs it was extremely kind, and she prepared our meals from scratch. It tastes like someone your grandmother would prepare for you, delicious and more wholesome than a more typical restaurant. An absolute must for Thai food fans More

Went to Thai House for the first time and got to speak with the owner. She was very kind, very helpful. It was just my family of 4 that ate and we were the only ones in the place. She cooked our food fresh and quick. The Pad Thai, Cashew Chicken and massamun curry were all delicious. I really hope this business continues!

I was driving through and decided to stop at a local restaurant for lunch. Didn't expect it to be a Thai restaurant, but I'm glad it was.
Upon first entering, you do notice the setup is still post-c*vid so there restaurant is still set up as a to-go place, but there are a few tables set up for dine-in. There were tables with to-go menus, boxes, and to-go utensil packages ready for customers.
There were many plants inside, and the feel of authentic Thai art and vibes were pleasing.
Water was served in a bottle, which was nice as I would take that over city tap water any day. The menu was large for a small restaurant, and I'm glad there was a tofu option on most of the dishes.
The owner is the only worker in the building, so we chatted for a while. It sounds like a struggle these days, with the rampant homeless in the area and constant spam calls to local businesses, albut the owner was still pushing through the hard times. I arrived as soon as they opened, which was nice as I didn't have to wait for a table. I wish people would stop at local restaurants over the chain restaurants down the street. I find it hard to see people struggle even more when they struggle with a business in a city that caters to larger corporations.
The food was delicious, and it was the right amount. Not too much and not too less. Goldilocks would have been satisfied, too. This restaurant has been around for 41 years, and this may be their last year, so I'll be back to support them and bring awareness to small business, and especially small restaurants.

I had such high expectations of this restaurant, the hand written signs, the decor, the open kitchen setting, it felt like we were at a Thai grandmas house! Until…we actually got the food. We enjoyed the vegetarian egg rolls, it had a great sauce. As for the main course, fried rice with pork and pad see ew, they had absolutely no flavor. As you can see our food had no color. You can usually judge food based on the way it looks and I’ve never been served clear noodles with no seasoning in Thailand or any Thai restaurant. I also ordered a Thai tea and it was too sweet. I don’t know if she’s trying to appeal to the American palate but we were disappointed in the taste. I love supporting local businesses but I don’t think this is the best place for Thai food.

A little hole in the wall! Mama, pop shop with delicious authentic Thai food. My boyfriend and I are visiting from Austin and we are highly impressed with how tasteful our two dishes were. We got the Pad Se Eaw and a Pad Thai and it was seasoned to perfection. The dishes were such reasonable price. Don’t let the atmosphere fool you with the open kitchen. When we dined in it was a one man shop; the sweetest lady was the host, waitress and chef she was the most heart warming thing. It breaks my heart to see an elder work this hard on her own. She deserves all the business. So when dining please be kind and understanding. If we could rate higher than 5 stars for the food and service we would. Thai house deserve all the love in the world.
