The environment was very wonderful, the staff was very attentive. I left a 25% tip. The egg rolls were different and interesting. Here is my major disappointment, Pai Thai Shrimp.... read more The noodle presentation was wonderful. The shrimp was robust and great, the problem with the meal was it had 1 taste, ginger. I kept digging in my noodles to try to find something that tasted other than ginger. I could not find another taste. It was wayyyyy overdone with ginger. I do like ginger, but not a mono-taste meal. Please drop the ginger content way down.

  We came to celebrate a birthday. The staff and food were terrific. We ordered a variety of food, soups, wings (to die for), egg rolls (yummy), and the Brussels sprouts... read more (a surprise). We would recommend this to anyone that likes Asian.

  Fresh and flavorful, terrific wait staff. We called for takeout but decided to eat in the patio outside and they didn’t bat an eye, treated us like people do that... read more all the time. We enjoyed the vegetarian pho and spring rolls for lunch, will work our way through more of the menu this week.

  We ordered to go on recommendation of fried and were not disappointed. Food was very good and different than most Asian restaurants with their own twist. I had Red Curry... read more and my wife had Noodle dish. Both were very good. Curry was flavorful but not spicy. Recommend trying this restaurant.

  The owner/ chef has some serious issues. He asked us to leave and call the cop in the middle of meal. The reason when we found out one food item... read more had an allergen to one of our family member. I just casually mentioned that I wish we had mentioned the allergy beforehand. Hearing this the server offered an alteration of that item. Instead of alteration, the owner got so upset about the alteration that he literally kicked us out in the middle of a meal.

Asking a family with small children in the middle of a meal, is a disgrace. A man who calls himself a chef and asks a family to leave in between is either mentally unstable and unfit to operate a restaurant, or a disgrace to humanity.

I was speechless and had never been this humiliated in my entire life. I hope this man was just having a bad day and he doesn’t do this to all the people of color.

  Just wow! I have never had to write a review quite like this before. Ordered the red and green curry to go. We have eaten curry for about 40 yrs... read more and have tried many an establishment, but this was really sickening. The curries were very, very thick and had a very odd overwhelming flavor to them. Not even sure if there was any coconut milk in them, maybe it was overlooked? Every curry we have ever eaten before has had a viscosity similar to a soup. We both could barely tolerate a few bites... yes, it was THAT bad, actually was kinda scary. And there was a hair in the red curry! I am literally nauseous as I write this. So very disappointed as we drove up from ABQ for a weekend away and were starving. It did not taste spoiled per se... The spring rolls we good but had split wide open which made for difficult eating. Maybe the other dishes are tasty but the red and green curry was a definite no-no, so nasty. Have read some have even returned it for a refund. We will not be returning.
P.S. Props to Thai 2 in ABQ as their curry there is exceptional!.

  My daughter and I were doing a quick overnight visit to Taos. By the time we were ready for supper, most of the restaurants were closed, but Donabe's was open.... read more I have almost zero experience with Asian cuisine. We each had one of their sandwiches. Sorry, I don't remember the name but they were absolutely delicious! The left over was still really good the next day. The staff was very nice. We had a 10-15 minute wait and let us wait at a table in another room. They brought us water while we waited. All were following the guidelines for distancing and face coverings. We were the last to leave but did not feel rushed in any way. Loved it!!!

  Asian food with some touches of Southwest. Loved the dumplings (5 *), the wagyu burger, and spring rolls. Good variety of wines, sake, and beer. Lovely dining rooms with viga... read more ceilings, fine art, kiva fireplaces.

  When my first choice for dinner didn't return my phone call, I called Donabe and they were able to get me in that day, even though it was Labor Day... read more weekend. I enjoyed amazing food served outside on their lovely patio.

  Very pleasant. Perhaps a little pricey. I had a squash salad which was very good and my wife had an excellent Shrimp Pad Thai. Wait staff was very good. Creme... read more Brulee for dessert was perfect.

  Excellent food, great ambiance, many options for dietary restrictions. Our waitress, Tamara, was very insightful and knowledgeable about the gluten-free and vegan options. She made us feel welcome and we... read more enjoyed a delicious meal! Far more affordable than we had expected based on the quality of the food - very good value for a night out.

  Taos dining has not completely recovered from the pandemic. We were pleasantly surprised by Donabe. First it is conveniently located near the Plaza. Second, the staff were friendly and attentive.... read more Finally the food was excellent. We had goyzo, shrimp spring rolls and peanut sesame noodles. We sat in their courtyard and enjoyed the setting and the food

  Very good food! The service was excellent and atmosphere wonderful! The place is located right by Taos Plaza. I would recommend this place.

  The title sums it up. Everything else about this place is great. The atmosphere is good, the music was great, the service was great. Then the food came. We had... read more the dumplings, the pad thai, and the red curry. When I tried the dumplings they were ok. Not fantastic, but fine. The sauce on the dumplings was excellent. However it was pre-applied, and there wasn't any more if you wanted to dip the dumplings in it, which would have been nice. As I said, they were OK.

I had the red curry with tofu and I cannot recommend it. I hate to leave negative reviews but in this case I feel that I must. This was absolutely the worst red curry I have ever had. The veggies and tofu were fine. The curry sauce, however, was not. It was unlike any I have ever had before. The flavor was not strong, which is fortunate, because what flavor there was was unpleasant- bitter and unlike any other red curry I have ever had, and I have had a lot. I did not care for it.

  What a pleasant surprise in the heart of Taos! Really impressive selection of Asian cuisine. Nice cocktail menu. Outdoor patio dining is IDEAL in the summer! Loved the service and... read more the food. Sometime the dishes were too flavorful for me but if you want ROBUST Asian food this is the joint to visit!

  Whoever makes this food does not know what they are doing. They were rude and hurried us out of the restaurant. It wasn't even closing hours. I do no wish... read more to go here again.

  What a fabulous place. Absolutely delicious. We had a self created Asian bowl by my son & husband. As for Me the red beet - Goat cheese - elk sausage.... read more Which was incredible. Chris was extremely cautious, and very helpful. It was cool out so he even brought me an extra coat to keep me warm. I would recommend eating here any time. If I could give 10 stars I would.

  Used to like the noodles he did from the cart on the plaza many years ago. Been to the new location next to Doc Martin's a couple times. The Thai... read more wings are good, but they never use a peanut sauce in Thailand, that's Indonesian style. The sambal sauce on the fries is closer to the sauce used for Chicken in Thailand. Got the Vegetarian Bahn Mi sandwich the second time. Complete disaster, soggy. I've eaten Vegetarian Bahn Mi before at Vietnamese restaurants in big cities. There's a reason why they use fried tofu or a kind of paté and also hard, stiff French bread...so it doesn't fall apart easily. Also got the Sesame balls, another complete disaster. They fell apart soggy and overstuffed. Check out the sesame balls at Hunan. Perfectly crispy and sublime texture of bean paste inside. And the sticky rice desert? Loved the minimalist slightly sweet, slightly sour mango slices. But the rice wasn't very sticky. It fell apart. I eat sticky rice a lot in Northern Thailand. It never falls apart and is always toothy on the outside and slightly soft on the inside.

  Fantastic food! My hubs got the build your own bowl and I got the ToFu Green Curry. Delish. And great service. Coming back soon.
