Jinja Bar & Bistro NE Heights 8900 Holly Avenue Northeast, Albuquerque, NM 87122

"Delicious food and drinks! That Bloody Mary was the best I’ve had with the chili infusion and local vodka. The avocado for perfectly fried and the mint sauce was so unique and flavorful too. The Pad Thai was not traditional, per se, but it was also very flavorful, balanced and all around delicious, as was the curry! We had excellent service and the atmosphere was really nice. We’ll be back again for sure when we visit the area again!"

"Amazing place. You'd think a place like this would be expensive but it wasn't. For our appetizer we had the calimari, not joke these were the best calimaris we've ever had. It packed a lot of flavor and it wasn't overly battered before frying it seemed. For my entree I had the salmon, wasn't dry like other places but juicy. The sweet cucumbers were amazing as well. For dessert, we had the silk chocolate cake, which came with a free side of gelato of your choice of flavor. Our server was very attentive. The best part was that our food came out within 5-7 minutes of ordering. Will definitely come back."

"Jinja Bistro's are always top notch when it comes to the plates and presentation. Food is always made to perfection. The Halibut dish was delicious. The. Lettuce wraps and sauce are a perfect fresh appetizer as well as the most tasty coconut shrimp soup. The Mojito is a blast of fresh mint and lime. The Hibiscus tea is refreshing. The difference between this Jinja's and others was the service. Philip was great , accommodating but not over bearing. Shout out to the manager making sure we were taken care of. If it's Asian cuisine you're craving i suggest this Jinja's."

"Very good food. On the higher side of prices, but they do have options for small and large portions which was nice. The shrimp Cesar salad was delicious, and they had lots of ginger in it. The coconut soup was similarly flavored to a Thai lemongrass coconut soup, and the shaking beef was good as well. The star of the show was dessert, and was gone before I remembered to take pictures, the chocolate cake and espresso gelato."

"Be aware that the food here is is very bland expect for the bone in wings and sorbet which were the only exception. Even the kids meals was so bland that my toddler did not like it. The sauce are too acidic and not flavorful. The fried rice was soggy and honestly it felt like it was cooked by an inexperience cooked. I would not recommend this place. The vibe was welcoming and staff are very attentive. There are psychological studies in how dim lights help people be more comfortable and relaxed than in bright restaurants. However, I am more of a person that likes moderate lightening and I felt very uncomfortable since I felt dissociated from reality."
