Song's Restaurant in Taos - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I have never felt more welcome at a restaurant. The owner greeted us, chatted with us for a little while, and she also provided a complimentary order of spring rolls. The food was fresh, fresh, fresh! and very flavorful. She explained that the food is Cantonese style. We'll be back.

We got songs as a splurge because we don't usually have the money to rest out. I evened out the bill to 50$ for an even number. When I checked our bank songs took 63 dollars from me. An extra 13 from the price on the receipt. I no longer have the receipt so there's not much I can do but definitely won't eat there again.

Connie has incredible customer service, and there is Vietnamese Pho here! Thank you!

This place is so nasty save your money

Fantastic food and service. Authentic and very welcoming. Best Chinese food we have had in a while. Super accommodating. Strongly recommend.

Visiting from out of town, we had dinner there tonight and had a great experience. The owners were fantastic, great to talk with and the food was by far the best Chinese food any of us have had for a long time.

I went to Songs for the first time today and i had a great experience! Connie was soo nice, the place was clean and the food was amazing! I’ll definitely start being a regular there for the spicy garlic eggplant alone however everything else we got there was great as well. what we got and would definitely order again: spicy garlic eggplant, kung pao fish, chicken & green beans, and beef chow fun. definitely going back to try the roast duck and bbq pork next time. spent around $45 and have A LOT of leftovers. i recently moved for the season from southern California and this is the best asian food in all the enchanted circle that i have found so far. much love to Song’s and Connie

This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The sweet lady was running the kitchen, the front counter and was our waitress. She was very sweet, very attentive and the food was AMAZING. Best chinese food I've had in a while and the prices are so reasonable!!!!! If you're craving Chinese food, come here!!! I absolutely recommend it.

insanely good homemade lo mein, thick fluffy noodles and connie is the absolute nicest person its the best chinese spot in taos

I called the location and the phone rang for a long time, then nothing. I called again. This time someone answered with a " hello." I asked if this was the restaurant, and she hung up on me!

Great atmosphere and delicious food. The best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Fresh ingredients and everything is homemade. A real treasure!

Delicious Chinese food! Connie Ren is a delight! She and her husband are owners operators and do a terrific job at producing wonderful food at a very reasonable price served in a clean, tidy, relaxed atmosphere. Only open for dinner. Well worth the visit! Kung Po Chicken ( just spicy hot enough) and Cashew Chicken.

The lady who runs the place is an absolute sweetheart. Our food came out perfect hot and flavorful. Some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a long time.

Owner was so sweet and chatted with us when we paid. Works hard to get or grow fresh ingredients!

Service was ok. The food wasn’t very good. The orange chicken was swimming in a syrupy red sausage that tasted more like a sweet and sour sauce. The chicken was like a chicken nugget and seemed like a processed chicken product. The inside of the restaurant was ok, but not very clean. The windows were covered with an oily film that made them cloudy. We will not be returning to this restaurant again.

Great home style cuisine! so delicious and hospitable. This is the best place in Taos.

Delicious food with super friendly service. The food is served like a takeout but allows customers to eat in.

Best Asian foods in New Mexico. This lady who works there buys fresh vegetables every day and makes her noodles,sauces and dips from scratch. They make other Asian dishes there that are out of this world.

Best Chinese food in Taos area. Hands down. Excellent taste and very generous portions. I would not eat any other Chinese restaurant in town.

Worst customer service ever. Waited 30 minutes to pick up order, waited another 30 minutes at the EMPTY restaurant, watched 2 tables get seated and walk out after waiting with no service. Food is okay - might even be good if it wasn’t cold and if they managed to actually get the complete order. Yep, just to add insult to injury we paid for food they didn’t give us.

My family and I went to Song's Restaurant after a long day of road trip. We are not from the area, so we didn't know what to expect but I am so glad that we went there. The owner greeted us as we entered the restaurant, and she was so very sweet and patient the whole time. She was very friendly and made us feel so welcomed. She took time to explain what they had on the menu and patiently waited as we debated on what to order. We did a to go order. After we arrived at our hotel room and opened the food, we realized that she packed paper plates and few other things that we needed to comfortably eat at the hotel room. The food was delicious. Portion sizes were large. We had leftovers to eat the next day. We called the restaurant to thank her, but I think they may have been closed for the day as it was later in the evening. Thank you for the great experience, service, and food after a long tiring day!

Garbage food!!! I don't get all the good reviews???? Don't be fooled by the good reviews and the outdated photos posted on the website! Nothing looks like that!!! This restaurant is a tourist trap!! Wasted $100 on poor quality food! Luckily didn't get food poison! The seafood dish recommended by the lady owner is not fresh and tasted like dated frozen food! The roasted duck served is all bones and the meat is so hard to chew! Overall, this restaurant is overrated and overpriced with small portions!

The food had delish flavor. Everything was very tender. You could tell they take pride in their food. The one thing I did like but not for every restaurant. They served in to go containers. What an idea!!!! Don't let the outside be the judge!!!

Ordered the chef’s special chicken. It was not only fried so hard that it was impossible to eat, the sauce was thick as jelly and tasted like pure vinegar. Nothing about it was orange chicken. The pork fried rice had a sour smell and we we count not eat it either. I gave this 1 star for egg rolls which was the the only edible part of ourtake out dinner.

We got to Songs before closing so got it to go. It isn't fancy delicious. the owner is sweet and charming. The food was delicious. Quote a few locals there for take out as well Pot stickers, cashew chicken, chicken curry and beef lomein were all very good

Incredible Kung Pao and LoMein, I get the feeling everything is as good. Fresh ingredients and skilled 👨‍🍳 with very nice and friendly staff.

Had to order last minute for a luncheon and Connie, the owner, was so gracious and went the extra mile. The food was delicious! Got a little bit of everything and it was all superb! Excellent customer service, even better food! We will be back!

One restroom with no toilet paper, no paper towels, no hot water and no light. We both had a bug crawling on us while sitting at the table. Food was bland.

Food sub par. Never going back.

This restaurant is just a basic building. The seating area is very plain. No asian decor. I think it's just the owners who run the restaurant. She was very nice and does have a good sense of humor. The food was very delicious and plenty. We did take-out as we were heading back to the cabin we rented and just wanted to eat and enjoy the evening.

Relatively new to Taos, and this was my first visit to Songs. ordered Honey walnut shrimp and a bowl of Hot and Sour soup to go. The shrimp was very good and would order it again, as it is my favorite dish. Next time I will dine in, as some dishes don't travel well. Connie, sweet Lady, did put sauce on the side. The Hot and sour soup was very tasty, but lacked tofu, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and some type of animal protein (chicken or pork).

The best Chinese food I've ever had and I travel all around the country. Owner tries hard to please her customers and always so friendly, This place has so much potential!!

While I appreciate vegan options with tofu and vegetables, the dishes we got were pretty bland. We got the pad thai, which did not taste like anything besides the peanuts which were on top. We got the spicy garlic family tofu, which was at least spicy, and the tofu and vegetables and brown sauce which was generically salty. In a pinch they were open when a lot of other places werent and they got the food to us when they said they would, but if I had other options I would eat somewhere else.

This food is the BEST Chinese food I’ve ever had!!! The owner is ALWAYS friendly and kind. Everything is made fresh and with care. They also have lots of options. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Excellent service with top tier food! The building and decor are unremarkable, but the owner is wonderful and welcoming. The food was delicious and well prepared!

nice place very clean no covid-19 😀

I haven't eaten here yet, but I heard that it is good.

Hands down the best Chinese meal I’ve ever had. The service was excellent, great portions of food, great prices. They don’t have all the extra decorations and ambiance items most places have but with how great the food was that doesn’t matter to me. You can tell they are investing their money into quality fresh ingredients. I’d say the only downside is the only refill on my water happened after I had already eaten my meal. Otherwise, no complaints!

Song’s very much exceeded my expectations. Large portions, super flavorful food, lots of vegetarian and vegan options, and the owner was lovely. Ordered the eggplant with garlic sauce, kung pao tofu and vegetable lo mein. All super tasty. The inside could use a bit of freshening up/modernizing, and the outside could use better signage (right now it just has a sign that says “Chinese restaurant”).

Awesome food. Atmosphere isn't great, but the good and cool k are super.

Connie is a delightful lady, but the food was NOT GOOD. I've had Chinese food all over the North American continent and this ranks the absolute lowest. The pot stickers were very good, but everything else was inedible. We had orange chicken and pad thai-- couldn't finish any of it-really a shame, because we very much wanted to be overwhelmed with the place. There was a bad flavor to everything except the pot stickers and the pad thai- the pad thai just had no flavor. So sorry, but we just cannot recommend this place

Connie is amazing. Song's is our go-to Chinese joint in Taos.

Outdated decor, slow service, and food was served in styrofoam take-out boxes though we were dining in. But the food was truly excellent!! The Cantonese dishes were especially great. I believe the place is run by only the married couple who own it - no other staff - e.g. no dishwasher - so all is forgivable. Temper your expectations and give them your business!

The owner was such a sweet woman. Food was really good and fresh. Very happy we picked this during our vacation from North Carolina!

Great customer service. Good vegetarian and vegan options. Food was good as well.

By far the best Chinese food in Taos! Food made with real love.

I took my kids to eat at Song's restaurant in Tao's, they truly loved this place, Connie is an amazing lovely women my kids love her so much and enjoy the restaurant so much they didn't want to leave ☺️ It is their favorite place to eat in Tao's. Amazine food, amazing owners

What a great place the food was good and Mrs song is such a nice sweet lady.

Kindest owner, delicious food!!!

The lady running the place is SO kind! Excellent food, easy to make vegan delicious. Highly recommend the Thai Red Curry (similar to Massaman Curry), Spicy Garlic Noodles, Fried Rice, Family Tofu, Kung Pow Tofu. More of a take-out place since Covid. Expect the food to take about 30 minutes during normal times, and longer during busy times. Give them a break, it's quality food made to order!

Best dumplings ever freshly made every day!! They serve aLOT of food!!

Had the best Chinese food I have had in over 20 years. Hot and sour Soup was super spicy and delicious! Best meal all week in Taos!! Will get lunch for trip back to Denver excellent!

Connie is the owner and a beautiful human being. The food has gotten better and better through the years. Thank you Connie and team!!

Food looks great online but they're take out only right now for some reason? Just figured other folks should know.

Great place. They only offer Takeout for now but they provide a place to eat it, just no table service.

After a couple of pleasant, mexican-food-filled days, we decided to go for chinese food for a break. Songs seems to be a great go-to. Nothing fancy, but garanteed good homey chinese food. But most importantly, the owner (Connie?) is THE NICEST, SWEETEST HUMAN ON EARTH RIGHT NOW AND MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS. She is the kindest person Ive ever met. When we opened our to-go bag of food we were surprised by some free dumplings. Our hearts melted. I wish her and her husband all the best.

A surprisingly good Chinese food in Taos. I certainly didn't have much expectation when I googled "Chinese food near me". But I ended up eating here exclusively after paying $10 for God-awful Sonic Burger the first night. Twice cooked pork is one of my favorite dishes and they had it on the menu. It came with bell pepper, onion and salary rather than cabbage I'm used to. But it was really good. The next day, I ordered broccoli chicken. The brown sauce on it was one of the best without being greasy. I highly recommend both. The service is slow, however. I think it's two-person operation with one cook and one server. But, if you are not in hurry, you'll get a very good Chinese food at very reasonable price here.

Understand before you go you may have a wait. She is open only half days and based off what I saw the owner is the hostess, takes your order and cleans the tables. I didn't see the cook, but as fast as she moved it wouldn't surprise me if she did that too. With that said the food is worth the wait. My wife and I both agree they put a lot care in their preparation and the food was great. I would suggest trying their dumplings, by far they are the best we've had. She comes in every day for two hours a day just to make them.

Okay chinese restaurant close to Taos center. Waitstaff were very nice and friendly. The dining area is a bit rundown and would use some upkeeping. If that doesn't matter to you, food came out fast and were well seasoned. Nothing fancy. Ordered Coconut Shrimp and Kung Pao Tofu. Prices are comparable to most chinese restaurants.

Food is superb, authentic level of spice and flavor, exactly what i was hoping for. Thai curry was the real deal. I honestly liked the building and the inside, feels just right. Will miss this place after leaving Taos. Owners were super nice.

Delicious!! Friendly!! Take out experts!! Thai Red Curry, appetizer Crispy Treasure plate, & Szechuan Beef - everything was so good

Very poor quality. Ended up throwing $70 worth of food away.

Honestly, the dining room execution was terrible; and even though it was, as another reviewer put it, uncomfortably sparse, it still took about forty minutes to get my main entree, which I got before my appetiser. Reason why five stars is, if you're willing to overlook the glaring flaws, the food is spectacular. Don't judge this book by its cover.

Really good Chinese Restaurant. Excellent curry rice noodle.

My boyfriend and I tried this place on our vacation in Taos to have something different for dinner. It’s your average Chinese restaurant. It’s more of a take out spot versus dining in. Its very sparse inside like uncomfortable vibe. I did enjoy the handmade steam dumplings though. The food portions are standard sizes to other Chinese restaurants. Service- very friendly, nice, and understanding. For example they were out of something and they provided us something different to make up for it.

This restaurant has been in Taos, NM for around at 20 years. We ordered their Vegetable and BBQ pork lo mein, and Mongolian Beef and it was delicious. They are very generous with their portions.

Best Chinese in toas by far. They just need to open back up like everyone else.

The lady that owns this restaurant is one of the nicest ladies I've ever met. Her customer service is excellent. If you want Chinese food in the middle of New Mexico, this is a place to go. The portion size are large, And I would definitely recommend the chicken dishes and the Thai tea!

Connie is a warm native Chinese woman who runs Songs with her husband. She cares for her customers and feeds them well. She laughed as she said “I’m very confident in my red spice!” referring to the Thai curry she made for us. It was excellent indeed! Do not judge this book by its cover. Connie’s landlord is responsible for the state of the building she’s in. The kitchen is an entirely different matter.

The sweet and sour chicken was pretty standard, the exact same as 90% of chinese restaurants. The problem is that the breast pieces were cut too large and one was not fully cooked. I had to use my plastic knife to cut them all smaller, seems like that should be done by the cook

Unimpressive... find another place

The food here is amazing and the owner was so helpful and kind. Great vegan options. The Singapore Noodles were out of this world!

Vegan gluten-free friendly. Likely one of last Taos great hidden gems. Songs is incredible. The food is so flavorful. Huge portions. Reasonable prices. And Camie, the owner, is the nicest. Must try: mix the king-pao tofu and veggie chow-fun to have leftovers. So good

BBQ pork fried rice was great and the portions were massive, owners were so sweet and loving.

Great Chinese food in Taos and great staff!

Really good tofu. Fresh veg options.

Great portion for the price! Roast duck is pretty good! Awesome owners as well.

Food is good. It may take a considerable amount of time to get it so call ahead.

Good but not 5 star because wanted larger egg rolls and wontons.

Great food, great Thai tea and absolutely wonderful service. The people here are so sweet and kind.

Great food, great service always! And the huge Thai iced Teas (when they have it) is awesome!

Looking for Chinese food in Taos? You’ve found the best. I felt like I was greeted into someone’s home when meeting the friendly owner and the quality and taste of the food backed this up. Recommend the Kung Pao Tofu and LA Style Orange Chicken.

Very good take out. The Kung Pow Fish dish was very enjoyable!

Is arguably one of the best Chinese food restaurants in New Mexico

Basic Chinese, pretty good. Very nice woman at the counter.

Connie the owner is always pleasant. And the food is exceptional!!

Very good red curry dish.Very courteous owner operator. Some vegetables come from there own garden.

The curry was great and the price was fair for the portion size.

Wish was dine in but great take out

Always love the food and service!

Great curry. After having no luck finding food near the plaza, we found this place for take out. Women there was very nice and thanked us for coming.

Best duck Stay away from the hot and sour soup that's not so good

Best lo mein noodles ive ever had! Try the pork lo mein! you wont regret it! And Connie is the best!

I got takeout here. I really liked it. The food took a bit to prepare, but it was TOTALLY WORTH IT. I had never had kung pao tofu like this, and I loved it so much!

Love the bento boxes for lunch! Looking forward to lunch there soon!!!

Gah dang, they got that good good. I'd kiss the cook, but I had my mask on.

I would rate it a solid 4 stars

Great place! Super sweet staff, delicious food, really generous on the meat and really good quality, no overly breaded grisly bits, just big hearty chunks. Highly recommended.

Wonderful food, wonderful people

Would've given 6 stars if I could! The food was absolutely excellent and the portions were incredibly generous for the prices. The lady at the cash register was very friendly and the vibe inside was nice and lively as we waited for our takeout.
