Here in the Land of Enchantment, we love our enchiladas, green chile, and breakfast burritos so much that we tend to overlook other region’s food, because ours is just so good. However, this Asian restaurant in Albuquerque serves up dumplings so good that every New Mexican is coming back for more. With an extensive, unique menu, a welcoming atmosphere, and the most authentic Asian food you’ll ever have in the Southwest, you’ve got to try this little ABQ spot.

Welcome to Street Food Asia In Albuquerque! Alternatively, some locals call this restaurant Asia Street Food.
