Fan Tang in Albuquerque - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I thought fantine was delicious. No flavor outpowered another flavor they all were infused together. I really recommend this place especially if you like oriental food.

Never coming here again rude staff not a pleasant experience

Terrible service , incompetent workers , poor trained staff

The food is always on point. However, the cashier working up front this evening was rude and unprofessional. Long story short, the cashier was only interested in prioritizing walk up orders rather than keeping up with orders that have already been placed. For reference, the order was placed on 9/7/24 at 5:09 pm and the cashier was a Caucasian female. I hope she doesn’t receive any portion of the tips.

9 years later they have improved, though COVID seems to have taken it's toll. The food taste quality has improves and their review accordingly. Well done.

sain comfort food done well, good wine and beer choices. Prompt and friendly service. Great location in Nnob Hill. Thefoodflavourful. Private parking a plus in this part of town.

Best Chinese food in town by a mile. Dumplings, pork buns, fried rice, orange peel chicken all incredible. Tasted fresh like it came from a chef vs line cook. I love the smaller than normal menu so you know each thing they make will be fantastic.

Good afternoon Fang Tang, oh my I wish I didn’t have to make this review regarding all the times you were good to me. But lately you guys been losing your spunk of good dining, friendly service but I give it to your cooks because they still do there job right. First of all I came in today 8/26/2024 and me and my wife and decided to come get some dinner to go. Hoping to beat the traffic we tried calling in an order. But your cashier that answers the telephone was very rude and unprofessional. So even tried giving them the benefit of the doubt because it’s Monday and it might have been busy etc. Bu when we came in side to order Oooo weeee your cashier had this ugly attitude, very rude to my wife I’m sorry but it was very unfortunately you have someone that is the face of your restaurant. But give it up to your cooks they still do a wonderful job. Btw your server was a Caucasian female with glasses. 🤓

A very Americanized Chinese restaurant. The food is not very authentic. I was craving malatang and there isn’t really anywhere in Albuquerque that serves this dish, so I came here to have the spicy beef noodle soup. Extremely salty and not properly seasoned. The meat did not taste fresh at all and tasted like it was out of frozen package. Was not checked on much by service staff. Overall it was an adequate meal but I would not describe it as tasty or a pleasant experience.

Server wasn't very friendly. I didn't catch her name. Not sure if I will be a returning customer. Also not sure if I would recommend.

Excellent food, but small portions for the price. Lots and lots of rice (over 3/4 of the plate). Per most of the posted photos, it appears to be different dining in. But I would suggest not getting takeout without opening every box before paying for it.

I ordered take out from the Montgomery location and ordered the following: Hong Kong Noodles with Chicken- Good flavor but needed more sauce and was very dry. The pictures from the ordering app does not match what I got so keep that in mind. Overall good flavor. Egg Drop Soup- Was good but had a very strong ginger flavor, so if you don't like ginger avoid it. Sichuan Street Noodle W/Chicken- This was very saucy and delicious. The only thing was that it wasn't very spicy and the menu had a spicy rating beside it so I was expecting some more heat. Kid - Fried Rice with chicken- Very good! Beef Rolls- I wish I would have ordered 10 more of these things! The peanut sauce that came with it complimented the rolls perfectly. And the filling of beef and veggies were on point. Overall the food was hot and fresh and flavorful. I will try other things on the menu next time and see what else they have.

The place was great And food was awesome!!!!!

Solid service. Very delicious Bao buns and coffee chicken

Food was good as usual. The only problem is the portion size changed since the last 5 visits. There was a a much smaller portion of sesame chicken and a Huge portion of white rice. I hope that isn’t the new normal. I’ll try 1 more time. I’ll give 2 more stars if the issue is fixed.

Never dissapoints. Service is always great. Love the appitizers, keep up the good work.

We got tea smoked beef (HIGHLY recommend), crispy tofu salad, and pho. Everything. Was. Delicious. You can taste the layers of flavor. Oh, and their portions are huge and reasonably priced!

Great service, fantastic food, great environment! We’ll be back!

I cannot give a good review of this place,never have I been to an Asian restaurant that told me we don’t do combo fried rice if you want it. you have to pay for all of your protein separate $22 for combo fried rice, no thank you, now I have eaten there Once before, and I found their food to be middle of the road and a little pricey, but if you can’t do a simple dish there are plenty of Asian restaurants out there. That do a good job and don’t screw you, because there in Nob Hill.

I drive 15 miles across town to come eat here. Their general tangs chicken is one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever had! The atmosphere here is incredible and the staff is amazingly attentive! I will be back again and again and again! Thank you!

I love this place. Whenever I get a chance to have Chinese food I always order from here. Me and my husband occasionally dine here. Food is great my top favorite is the chicken fried rice with extra bean sprouts. A little pricy but definitely worth it.

Wow Fan Tang, You are delicious. We had your hot and sour soup, crab wontons, ginger basil chicken and kung Pao chicken. Everything had wonderful flavors. Your staff is super efficient. We will be back very soon to try more.

Wasn't expecting to find this in ABQ. Legit good pork buns and the sweet and sour chicken was delicious!

Food was delicious. Really enjoyed the spiciness on their Spicy Chicken!

I love Fan Tang, used to eat there a bunch when I worked in Albuquerque, but now it's a rare treat. I've never had a bad meal there. Their Coffee Chicken is amazing, and I don't even like coffee! One thing I miss is the recently discontinued seaweed/celery/noodle salad that came with the coffee chicken. Apparently almost nobody liked it, so I understand, but it was really unique and I enjoyed it as a perfect counter to the sweet and savory coffee chicken.

Everything was amazing. Food was so good. Great experience

Food is excellent and the staff are very attentive. The decor is beautiful! You can dine in or do takeout. It is already a very popular dining spot. Highly recommend it!!

I ordered bao buns and the general tang’s with noodles. The take out container for the chicken and noodles wasn’t even halfway full (check out the photo). The noodles were covered in nothing but salt and were inedible. The chicken was ok. The bao buns were cold. This used to be a good restaurant but if this is what their quality has devolved into, then I’ll no longer be a patron.

Fun location on Rt 66. Parking can be very limited. Ordering food is done at the main counter, where it is paid for up front and is brought to the table. Few large semi-circular booths for larger groups and a few booths for parties of 2-6 at the windows. Rest are small tables. Was plenty cool (blower on HIGH), which we didn't care for as it cools off your entrée. The staff was nice and turned it down a notch. Still was chilly. I tried the BBQ steamed buns. They were an interesting texture (marshmallows texture but not sweet). They were good & different. My entrée was yellow curry coconut with shrimp and fried rice. I've had this at different Thai restaurants and found this yellow curry much different (I don'tthinkit was?), was more like reddish paprika curry, very thick, and lots of ginger. The menu had a 1-chile rating for heat, but it was more like 2-3 heat rating! I suffered through it and ate all the shrimp and rice and drank a lot of water! This was our first time there and probably may not go there again. Was fun trying it out, but it wasn't our favorite for now.

Recently we ordered a take out lunch for our office meeting. Everything was ready and prepared exactly as ordered, and the value for what we received was excellent! I had the ginger basil chicken and loved the flavor, plus I had leftovers for the next day. I highly recommend you try this great local restaurant!

Fantastic! I got take out for a team lunch today. I can’t say enough good things! Delicious, hot, ready to go when I arrived. The coffee chicken kills it every time but oh man, that pho…So good! Thanks for a great meal for the office today Fan Tang!

I've have it before today! Absolutely amazing!!!! Friends staff, great food! And there's no pressure to eat fast and leave. Honestly can't wait to go back

Very delicious I'd say better than pf changs hands down. Very flavorful and alot of food. My daughter had the coffee chicken which is amazing.

Wonderful food, enjoyed! Great service and attention to details with a generous portion. Highly recommend.

One of the best restaurants in Albuquerque. Always very, very good.

PSA: We picked up carry-out at the Fan Tang restaurant on Montgomery. As is typical at Asian restaurants, you get white rice with each entree. HOWEVER, instead of the ubiquitous white cardboard boxes, they put the rice in the SAME take-out container as the entree. Thereby you receive less than half as much entree as you expect at $14, $15 per entrée. The container also holds all the inexpensive white rice. The food is good, but as the kids say: NOT COOL.

We've gotten take away from Fan Tang for a couple years and they don't disappoint. The latest time I ordered with friends and had the coffee chicken. It was delicious! Just the right amount of kick, and tons of flavor.

Really dont appreciate paying $13-15 for a full entree and getting a heap of white rice with a side portion of entree. Cheap corner to cut without cutting your prices and lwft us shorted on dinner with a ton of carbs and not much nutritional value for what we paid

Went to the new location in Montgomery on a Friday night. Very busy & had a long wait to get a table. Then we had a long wait for our food. We ordered the firecracker dumplings. They were so good. I got the tea beef which was good except the meat had a lot of gristle & I could not eat three pieces. My husband had Kung Pau beef & he had a couple of pieces he couldn’t eat. Food really is good, but not sure beef dishes are in our future. The restaurant is very noisy.

First time patron, ordered the spicy shrimp and wonton soup. Food was fresh and spicy. Outstanding! Will definitely go back in the near future.

In my experience, the food at this place did not meet our expectations. Out of the 8 meals we ordered, none of them were finished. The noodles seemed soggy, and the fried rice did not appear to be fried. The walnut shrimp was overcooked, and the rice had a pasty consistency. Additionally, the quality of the lo mein seemed similar to frozen meals from a grocery store. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

I had the Jade chicken, it was great. My friend had sweet and sour chicken and she loved it. We will be back very soon.

Tired the new location for the first time yesterday. Service was awesome and everyone was so nice. However, the food tasted like it was just microwave warm up food. I also got super sick after eating there & was up all night puking my guts out. Sucks there wasn’t a different outcome. 😬

Love the fresh made chinese. The hubby's orange chicken had a house made sauce. My kung pao shrimp was perfect. You must eat here😋😋😋😋

Consistently excellent food. I'm so glad they opened another site on Montgomery!

Food is excellent, the best service I’ve had in along time, recommend all of the dishes!!

Delicious! Tea beef was incredible! Super friendly staff.

This restaurant is incredible. Extremely casual restaurant with exceptional food. A must to go place for Asian food.

I've been a big fan of Fan Tang since I first tried it several years ago. Sadly, for me anyway, it seems to be declining. I was their for lunch today and ordered chicken with cashews. The sauce did not have a sauce consistency and the taste overall was bland. Portion seemed to be smaller, too, but I've noticed that to be the case with other dishes as well the last number of visits. I've stopped ordering take out because of this issue. It's not worth the price. I will most likely give it another go as maybe there are new cooks in the kitchen. Quality may be suffering because of the focus on a new location.

Great food and super friendly staff. Came in as a recommendation from a local and was not disappointed, food was great. 10/10

Amazing spot for Chinese. We had pork buns, spring rolls, spicy edamame, tofu and orange beef. Every item was seasoned and cooked perfectly, the staff were incredibly welcoming, and the restaurant was incredibly clean. I’ll be back again when back in town.

Tea Smoked Beef! Coffee Chicken mediocre

The signature dishes are really well crafted. A great find.

Best Chinese food I've ever had. Awesome place, I highly recommend!

I'm a newly diagnosed celiac. Most of the gluten free food blogs around town have high praise for Fan Tang. Honestly, my food was underwhelming. I ordered the sesame chicken, and it wasn't fried, it was basically boiled white meat chicken breast with sweet chili sauce on it. It didn't even have the sesame chicken flavor. My husband also ordered gluten free sweet and sour beef so I could try, and his was marginally better (the meat was velveted so at least his sauce stuck to it), but still not anything to write home about. This is not it, fam. Just because we can't eat gluten doesn't mean we should settle for subpar food. Stop letting people charge you $13 a plate for this. On the bright side, I didn't get sick. That's the only reason I even left any rating at all.

Everything was good but they should check the food to make sure they added everything they forgot to put pork in one of my plates with the beef. Dumplings Was not what I wanted different and not Enough pork in it. Maybe I picked the wrong one But everybody makes dumping makes them different.

By far one of the best places to eat in ABQ. Always great food and friendly faces, good pricing and atmosphere. Lots of vegan and gluten free options.

Great food. Was our first time there. The gentleman behind the counter explained how it worked. Everyone there was wonderful.

Food is the best in town! Service was attentive and super friendly.

They changed the coffee chicken... It's sweet now. Tastes like orange chicken. The rice was soggy and there was this dab of noodles on the plate that was just gross

Food was great: Coffee Chicken and Hong Kong Noodles; both fantastic. The place itself is adorable and has free parking. We'll be back!

This is our fav for take out in Nob Hill! We loveeee the Kung Pao chicken, firecracker dumplings, bao and the general tang’s. Also had the spicy beef noodle soup and the portion is so big! It was in fact spicy and so flavorful. We normally add extra chicken to our kung pao order and it’s great bang for your buck. Always hot and fresh and flavorful.

The street noodles were yummy. Me and the gals all had noodles dishes. The best were the street noodles (peanut buttery) and the Mongolian noodles which were a bit sweeter. And the firecracker dumplings were best of ALL!

Fine place, fast service. Fine food

Always love it here; recently went back and had the Tea Smoked Shrimp; SO good. I melted. Excellent food and awesome service, though the prices have gone up making it less affordable for me.

I’m sharing my take out experience. Fab Tang use to be one of my favorite Chinese food joints in town. The food is still delicious, but in the past two years they’ve really shorted the customers on the amount of food they give. You pay fifteen dollars to get half of what you use to get. It’s barely enough per dish, and leaves you hungry in a couple of hours. Truly sad because I still love it. Of course, your mileage may vary.

I'm just about to head out to Fan Tang for another "awesome good food" fix. It's been too long. Owner Jason's team of superior, intuitive and thoughtful chefs, along with an engaged and sincerely pleasant staff at the register and the tables, has never failed to impress way better than just "average." Legit, Fan Tang's food is something "holy." Having been in the business years back, I know a thing or two about what it takes to make a complete and satisfying dining experience and Fan Tang consistently comes through. That's one of the secrets of restaurant success: every restaurant has an "off" shift now and again due to so many factors outside anyone's control (e.g., supply chain, someone doesn't show, tight parking, etc.). The trick is "consistency" in the important stuff (showing up, with solid values and beliefs about recipes, quality ingredients and customer-centric engagement). In these ways, over many visits for me, Fan Tang comes through head and shoulders above many restaurants in Albuquerque, let alone the "Asian fusion" genre. Thanks for it all Fan Tange team!! And now, I'm hungry. See you shortly :)) (Can't wait for the new store to open on Montgomery near Eubank). Don't change a thing and your success will rock hard!!) Ashton

the tea smoked beef is the best plate I have eaten in Albuquerque. The pork buns were really amazing, too. Yeasty, really nice. We also got the chicken garlic broccoli and the edamame. They were alright. GAWDDANG that tea smoked beef knocked my tastebuds out of my mouth.

I ordered The basil garlic chicken which was excellent I love how they have full cloves of garlic. The Souel dumplings were bomb as well as the spring rolls. Will most definitely be going back!

Always amazing, fresh and friendly staff. (Good vegan options)

The food is very good and I recommend the fireball.

OMG. How do you guys pack so much flavor in your food?! You must have magicians in the kitchen. Thanks for a great dining experience. All your staff were super awesome. (One request though: Could you put more items on the menu that are not spicy?)

The food was good, lots of vegetarian options. But the way they handle customer service is awful. From ordering to the wait time, every interaction is uncomfortable.

Horrible service, the staff was flustered and rude, the food was okay, but the fried calamari was sitting in a pool of oil, which made it very soggy. The pork buns were rubbery, they tasted just like the ones you buy frozen and pop in the microwave. Overall not the best experience.

Reliably good but drifting from authentic flavors. Good place for a fairly quick meal. Ample vegetarian options.

No more beef rolls :( but the cooks here are next level! Got the spicy beef soup and it was extraordinary will definitely be coming back!

Chicken fried rice was mushy. Paid extra for adding beef and got 3 pieces. Overpriced.

This establishment is by far the best Chinese restaurant in the city and quite possibly in the entire state. I frequently visit this establishment to get the tea smoked beef or the coffee chicken. Both are absolutely incredible dishes with an incredible explosion of flavor. The atmosphere is always wonderful and the staff is friendly and attentive. I will continue to frequent this establishment as long as it is around. Top tier restaurant for sure!

Lo mein was delicious! My cousin and I had to leave right away before finishing our meal. Still, it was cool.

Came on a Monday night and it was packed (always good to see). I ordered the spring rolls and the fried rice. The ordering was different from other restaurants. You order as soon as you come in, get a number, and then find your own seat. Food came in a quick fashion and was really satisfying with a big portion for the money spent. Bathrooms were pretty good considering the location and age of the building. Will return again and bring the family.

I love this place! Good food! Even if you just order the fried rice. Beer and wine available, pretty view of nob Hill, comfortable seating. No rush dining.

Looked everywhere for great Chinese in ABQ. Everything strip mall mediocre until I tried fan Tang. Top notch shrimp lo mein big noodles crispy and tender vegs and perfect plump shrimp. Busy takeout totally worth wait and price. Fried rice side also great. Everything big flavor no baloney and fresh. A winner.

This place is such a rip-off it isn't funny. Looking at the paper menu at the front desk with one price, the electronic menu board with a higher price and the actual check print out with an ever higher price. Was told that the owner raises the price all the time. And none of the prices match. Gimme a break. Spicy shrimp priced 13.29 on the paper menu ended up at 15.29. Seriously. Pot stickers were under cooked and cold. GAG. Sichuan Chicken/green beans were also cold, not to mention the brown rice. Spicy shrimp was not only cold but old and inedible. I told you not to mention the rice!. Also, they add on 3% credit card fee. Then I look at my check and they add on 9.10 for a tip on a 37.00 check. I don't think so. The girl at the register gave me a hard time when questioned about it and I informed her that I would stop the entire payment if she didn't remove it. She did. I can't believe this place is still in business. It looked like the cooks were having a huge party on the line. No wonder the food was so awful. Should have stayed home.

The family ate here for birthday dinner for my daughter-in-law. The service was spot on and the food was delicious. The down side is the parking!! This restaurant has a very small parking area so arrive early or walk the street to the restaurant.

So we come here quite a bit for lunch and sometimes dinner. This was not a great experience this time, took a while to get the two appetizers that we had ordered to go. When we asked the guy at the front about he started going off about “I said 15 minutes and it’s only been that long” and we said “ok that’s fine I don’t want to argue just wondering how much longer” and he decided to rudely respond with “I’m just saying some patience would be good”. Like I came for food not a lecture for asking a very common question and we didn’t even ask rudely. I get he was flustered because someone took the wrong order but slamming things around on the counter and taking it out on customers is not the way.

The food was terrible did not taste like it was supposed to and wontons fried in old oil, nasty

Chill spot to have a good afternoon lunch. The entrée is huge - basically 2 portions of food. Tofu and veggies cooked perfectly as part of the sweet & sour dish. Hosts/ food runners were delightful. Great service all around!

Coffee chicken is absolutely delicious!!! New to me but I’m already craving more! Fast service and very friendly

Update: January 1/13/24 Fan Tang has been one of my faves for what seems like forever! For me, consistency is key! I come in for the amazing flava-flav and the best customer service around! The ambiance in Fan-Tang is great too! Good food, great service and amazing menu items keeps me coming back time and time again! I'm looking forward to their 2nd location! Kudos to you and your staff!!! Hugs, The NM Donut Kween

This is one of my favorite Asian restaurants in the country! So lucky to have them here in Albuquerque. We eat here very regularly and·love the food. Very popular place so sometimes the wait is a bit long, but always worth it! And they are building a second one! Many vegan options

Meh, the food is very very sweet, really geared towards teens. Called in for takeout two meals and they said 15 minutes, waited an additional 30 in the crowded waiting area.

I absolutely love their food. Sichuan Noodles are my favorite. Love their egg rolls. The food is amazing.

Fan Tang is definitely one for the books the cuisine is phenomenal and new to my taste buds. Great atmosphere, very delicious food and friendly faces! Date night worthy! Support local, you can't go wrong here!

So we’ve gotten food here a few times and it’s been great all the times. The coffee chicken is amazing and so are the crab wontons. My only complaint is that I wish you guys had a separate pickup area or window for people that order in advance as that line gets so backed up! Our food would have gotten cold last night had one of your staff not been so kind to grab it for us super fast as they were coming back from a break. Great service by the way but would love that for the future!

Food was good. Flys 🪰 were irritating.

The coffee chicken was simply wonderful!

I am writing this review because of the exceptional service by one certain rep, Shayla. I've never seen a server work so hard so fast as she was on top of everything that needed being done. Fill your drink, she was there. Wipe table, she's there. The other servers are good, she's definitely tops. Give her a RAISE, and No, i don't know her. As for the food, I always go out for Chinese food as it's a traditional New Year's food for New Englanders. Living in ABQ, I heard wonderful things about Fan Tang's food, mainly from a manager, so I chose it as my place to celebrate my birthday, my personal New Year. Craving Pad Thai, I chose that along with Crab Wantons. Both plates were plated like fancy food. I loved the plating of the food. The Crab Wantons were good. I would buy them again. As for the Pad Thai, I agree with Chris Wheeler's comment from a couple weeks ago, and wish I saw it before I went. The Pad Thai lacked flavor and appeared greasy. The shrimp in the Pad Thai was good. I'll be going somewhere else for my Pad Thai. Yet, seeing this is my first visit, I will return here again and order Spicy Shrimp to see if my experience was normal or a fluke. Plus, I loved the atmosphere. Leaving this comment with a positive, you may have a different perception. Seeing the fact that there appears to always be a waiting list, at least there was the whole time I was there, they get to be doing something very right. So, although my experience with the food wasn't great, I highly recommend checking it out for yourself. It's a beautiful atmosphere that's overflowing for a reason. And, with servers like Shayla, you definitely get great service. So, check it out for yourselves and make your own decisions.

This place is good. I feel like the food could’ve been hotter though. It seemed like the chefs didn’t really care about the food but I feel like it had potential!

Always good. Our families favorite place in Albuquerque. Coffee chicken is amazing and so is the egg drop soup. Highly recommend!

Date night with my fiance, this place is everything awesome. The food was perfect, and everyone was so helpful. Absolutely recommend for a small group meal. Its fantastic!
