Flying Star Cafe - Rio Grande in Albuquerque

We missed flying star being closed during Covid Pandemic, happy to see they are open again. We are only doing carry out, trying to maintain social distancing. Living close to the Flying Star on Rio Grande it is our go-to restaurant. We ordered take out a few nights ago, food was prepared correct and was packed to maintain freshness. We have been going to Flying Stars for years, always enjoy!

Delicious bowls! I had the Buddha Bowl with chicken. Loaded with fresh, well-prepared veggies and flavorful chicken. The crispy wontons on top were AMAZING!!! They make the dish. Friends had soups and different bowls; everyone loved it. Food came out promptly. Nice large outdoor seating area with a fireplace. Friendly, helpful staff.UPDATE - We went for an early dinner on Christmas Eve. No crowd, super friendly staff. We had the MOST AMAZING traditional turkey dinner ever!! Moist, fresh turkey; stuffing; excellent fried chopped sweet potato bites; fried stuffing bites; gravy; and cranberry chutney. See the picture. It tasted as good as the best I've had anywhere, and better than most. Thank you!

Was in the area for a wedding recently and took the family to eat at Flying Star Cafe - in a word: excellent! We have a pretty wide variety of tastes in our family, so when everyone finds something they like, that's a huge win - and everyone was very pleased with their meal. I had the fish tacos - maybe a little too much of the coleslaw, but excellent. Even the simple chicken crispers were excellent. The red/green burrito was outstanding - but the favorite was the mac n cheese sandwich! I wish we had saved room for dessert - honestly, I think we missed the best part of Flying Star - everything looked spectacular - next time!!!

Food is good, fresh, great healthy options or filling "comfort food" there's something for everyone. Their coffee is not my favorite, but they deserve special recognition for how well they are handling curbside during the pandemic. Order online or over the phone and pre pay, and park in the curbside parking parking spaces and they will bring your to-go order out to you. Great to have this option for those who want it.

Great patio at this location and a helpful, friendly staff. The cakes are bomb, and those queso blanco fries are incredible. Thank you.

Great all day menu with great options for any meal. The have several locations but this one has my favorite patio seating covered by a beautiful tree. The staff are courteous and respectful along with incredible attention to detail for cleaning. Great for brunch or a nice dinner with friends.

Love the Rio Grande location. Pleasant atmosphere. First time I had the rosemary chicken over risotto with feta, and I just have to say that it was superb! 🍴It's a must for me to order this tasty dish again!
