Thai Heritage And Vegan

I thought I had previously left a review 5 years ago and wanted to update it. Regardless, Thai Heritage and Vegan has some of the BEST Pad Thai in all of Albuquerque. During my DoorDash days, I tried every Thai restaurant’s Pad Thai, none have come close to this one. The balance of flavors is on point, Thai hot is too much for me these days but level 4 is perfect. Skip other restaurants (Fan Tang makes terrible Pad Thai, tastes like ketchup) and stick with something more authentic.

I had the lunch special pad Thai, which comes with two small vegan spring rolls and salad. It was delicious, especially with the garlic chili on top. I don’t usually order pad Thai anymore because it usually comes with eggs. This was an egg-free version. The mango sticky rice dessert was the best I’ve ever had. It was not very busy at lunch on a Wednesday and food came out quickly. Very cute large space inside. Very clean bathroom.

Phenomenal across the board! I had miso soup and pad Thai, both out of this world. My 70-yr-old dad, who is very picky, said the red curry was the best he has ever had in his life. All the stars for this place!!

My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience dining here! The place was empty when we got there. The waitress was super friendly and the food was delicious! The best Golden Tofu was the best I’ve ever had! Not surprised that halfway through our meal the restaurant started to fill up

This place was solid. We ordered the chicken pad Thai and we were not disappointed. Keep in mind it’s vegan but even then my husband really loved it. I look forward to going back and trying more of their options. Service was remarkable as well. Decor was interesting. We will be back.

Cute spot. The vegan Thai iced tea was one of the best I’ve ever had. We were the only customers there(Sat 8/30, 3pm) The server was great! She was on it and very friendly. They mix the brown and white rice and shape into hearts. We had the yellow chicken curry, veggie spring rolls, fried soy chicken, tofu skewers, and fries. All very tasty! My 6 year old was done with his curry, rice, and fries, and still wanted to “drink” some curry. Ha!

I am always down with dining in a Route 66 business, especially one that is not a corporate chain. It’s not that I despise them. It’s just that the smaller businesses need our support, too, and often have far better food anyway. And that’s exactly what I think about Thai Heritage and Vegan, a place I have now dined at three times. Located on Central SE in the Nob Hill area (and thus right on the Mother Road), it has a ring side seat to the mix of locals and heritage tourists making their way down this road. This time I had the Green Curry Pad Thai, and it did not disappoint. Service was fast, the presentation top shelf, and the flavor spot on. My Pad Thai packed just enough heat to make it memorable, but not so much that I left crying. I especially liked how I was brought several Thai and southeast Asian chile sauces so that I could flavor my meal as I deemed fit. The decor of this restaurant is very elaborate. The bar indicates that this is not a run-of-the-mill Thai establishment, but one of the finer. I marveled at the statuary and art, all conveying an atmosphere that was far from Albuquerque. Yes, I will be back again. This is a great place, and if you fancy a vegan twist on Thai favorites, you cannot go wrong here.

Craving tom kha gai like you wouldn’t believe the last few days. Coming in I was warmly greeted and taken care of. The soup brought me back to my childhood and was hands down the best. You can’t have noodles and Tom kha gai without Thai tea! Which hands down completed the meal. With Thai tea flavored dessert. :) Will definitely be spreading the word of how this Thai restaurant is the place to go to in the Albuquerque. Day2: green curry veggie no meat w/ a side of jasmine tea. If you’re not coming here yet! You’re missing out!!!
