Rice Box & Boba

The drinks were really good but the potstickers were actually terrible. Tiny and hard and burnt and expensive. Confusing they include these on the menu at all.

Excellent food and service! If you want genuine Asian food, this is the place.

Updated Review:
After a frustrating experience on my first visit, I decided to give this place another shot, and I’m glad I did! I’ve heard nothing but great things, so I wanted to try it again. This time, I grabbed all three varieties of their mango sticky rice to take home and share with my family. I didn’t get any savory items since I’d already had lunch, but the manager was kind enough to send me away with a little treat, and it was delicious! I’m really looking forward to coming back for lunch soon.
I also noticed that they've updated their system to reflect separate prices for cash vs. credit card payments. As a small business owner myself, I completely understand how outrageous credit card processing fees can be, and it’s nice to see the transparency. Giving customers the option to pay in cash to avoid those fees is a great move.
The customer service was on point, the food looked amazing, and I left feeling positive about my experience. Looking forward to dining here again and recommending it to others!

Went in yesterday and was charged for a tip I didn’t leave (I tip in cash for exceptional service) and another hidden fee, possibly for using my card. I only believe the woman who helped me didn’t add the tip because I was also automatically charged the hidden fee, which makes me think the system is set up this way. She and the man preparing the food were both kind, but when I requested a refund, the manager was rude and unapologetic. Which really was the reasoning for this review. Had he been polite and understanding I probably wouldn’t be here. I left without eating and with a refund. The food looked delicious, but the dishonest charges and bad manager mean I won’t return. I caution others to check their receipts.

Fresh, fast, and filling. This place is great! The food is tasty with unique flavors. Good portions. I was impressed with the chicken plate. Some of the best I’ve had around here. But then I tried the sausage plate. Tasty and little spicy. You can’t go wrong.

Everything is so amazing, food is amazing and the service top notch!

I tried their fried chicken. The quantity is plenty! The flavor is pleasantly unique with herbal spices (not 🌶️) but not so strong, so great for beginners to Laotian cuisines. I recommend!

Just had lunch with my family. The menu is small but very simple. Perfect for a quick grab and go. The chicken and sticky rice was the best of the menu. Soft chewy sticky rice that you can eat with your hands and have a drumstick in your other hand. The chicken was perfectly marinated, warm and juicy. Will be back again!

The worst experience. I just came from this place and through $52 to the trash.
The chicken was cold and not even fresh.
The chixken wings were only breaded no meat at all. Last, the dressing tasted bad.

The papaya salad was ✨🤌🏼. We also got the sticky rice/pork sausage and chicken wings. Best Lao food in Albuquerque! Thank you Sam for your excellent customer service.

The rice isn't cooked and the mango is super unriped for the mango sticky rice. The boba in the boba milk tea is not also cooked. Kinda disappointed about that, hopefully they'll have a quality check before serving. The flavor is good tho.

It's my 1st time to visit this place.

Tried this place on my day off today, was very excited! The matcha was low quality with a greyish color. As true matcha lovers know, a bright green hue is what we are looking for. Despite that initial disappointment, things looked up with the mango sticky rice! Tasty for abq! Spring rolls also good except more sauce and a tighter roll would go along way. I’ll try again just not for matcha! 💚

Great people, amazing food!

Fried chicken meal with jasmine rice was ok, chicken would of been better if skin was crispy, sauces were good. Went for the mango sticky rice and it was very dry and mangos didn't look fresh. Would of been nice to have something to drizzle on top of it. Lychee tea was good but very sweet. Service was nothing special. Went for the hype and probably won't return

Everything looked great. We had the purple mango rice, dumplings and boboa tea, which was all fantastic. We're looking forward to trying something different next time. Highly recommended.
