Tokyo Bangkok Sushi Bar & Thai Cuisine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 2019, Mastercard published its Global Destination Cities Index<\/strong><\/a> which ranked 200 cities around the world with the most international visitors. \u00a0Topping the list for the fourth consecutive year was Bangkok, Thailand which boasted of 22-million overnight visitors. \u00a0Next on the list with around 19-million international overnight visitors were Paris and London respectively. \u00a0With 13.6-million visitors, New York City was the only United States destination to make the top ten, ranking seventh. \u00a0Tokyo (12.93-visitors) was ninth on the list.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many years ago when I was a fledgling airman in the world’s greatest Air Force I had the privilege of serving with grizzled veterans who had been stationed in Southeast Asia during the long and drawn-out Vietnam War. \u00a0Almost invariably they spoke about the camaraderie and esprit de corps they shared with their brothers-in-arms. \u00a0Though they bemoaned having arrived as boys and forever losing their youth during the ravages of war, they lit up when talking about\u00a0 Thailand with its exotic aura, welcoming lifestyle and (maybe especially) women they found mesmirizing. \u00a0They regaled me with tales of nightlife in Bangkok where they lost themselves momentarily in revelry.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Colorful Dining Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During my Air Force career (especially as a single man) my “dream sheet” (what enlisted personnel call the assignment preference statement) was replete with South Pacific bases in Guam, Thailand, Japan, Okinawa, Korea and more. \u00a0In its infinite wisdom, the Air Force matchmakers twice sent me to England, about as directly contrasting to what I requested as possible. \u00a0As retirement looms ever nearer, my desire to visit Southeast Asia (particularly Vietnam and Thailand) hasn’t waned. \u00a0Perhaps someday I’ll have the opportunity to visit the countries where some of my favorite foods originated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of my hoary brethren who did serve in Thailand warn that Thai food in Thailand isn’t the same as Thai food across the fruited plain. \u00a0They use such terms as “inauthentic,” “dumbed down” and “Americanized” to describe Thai food in the United States. \u00a0Some of the differences they cite include portion size–Americans like trough-sized portions; massive amounts of meat at American restaurants, far lesser amounts in Thailand’s eateries; \u00a0and most prominently, the Thai cuisine at American Thai restaurants (they contend) is bland and boring–lacking piquancy, sour notes, richness and olfactory-arousing herbaceousness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Crunchy Roll<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The arguments of inauthenticity, dumbing down and Americanization have also been used when discussing the cuisines of Italy, China, Mexico and virtually every nation whose foods have been exported to and interpreted at ethnic restaurants under spacious skies. \u00a0For those who espouse this view, I offer\u00a0Clarissa Wei’s op-ed on CNN entitled \u201cAmerican-Chinese food is real Chinese food<\/strong><\/a>,\u201d where she<\/span> lept up in impassioned defense of American-Chinese food:\u00a0 \u201cThere\u2019s nothing inauthentic about American-Chinese dishes.\u00a0 The bulk of them were created by Chinese people for Chinese people.\u00a0 These Chinese people just happened to be living outside of the mother country<\/em>.\u201d \u00a0This argument could well be about made about Thai food, Mexican food, Italian food, etal. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, Thai food in its mother country isn’t the same as Thai food served at the estimated 5,342 Thai restaurants in the United States. \u00a0Does that mean we shouldn’t be eating it? \u00a0As my Air Force colleague R. C. Hart would say “Phuc” (a Vietnamese word that means “lucky”) no!\u00a0 Not only should we embrace every opportunity to expand our restaurant rotation lists (and waistlines), we should worry less about such things as authenticity, dumbing down, Americanization and even cultural appropriation.\u00a0 Our focus should be on the deliciousness of our meals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Your Choice of Eggdrop Soup or Miso soup With Every Lunch Combination<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tokyo Bangkok opened its doors during the height of what my friend Howie \u201cthe Duke of the Duke City\u201d Kaibel<\/strong><\/a>, Community Director for Yelp\u00a0 aptly calls the “Cabrona Virus.”\u00a0 It’s located at the former site of such short-lived eateries as Asado Brazilian Grill<\/a><\/strong>, Charcoal Mediterranean Grill<\/strong><\/a> and most recently Plum Cafe. \u00a0<\/strong><\/a>Within easy walking <\/span>distance to the Century Rio multiplex theater, it features an ambitious sushi menu as well as an expansive (make that staggering) Thai menu with portions that are more than generous.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are about twenty appetizers alone, ranging from egg rolls and dumplings to monkey balls and tuna tataki.\u00a0 If you’re jonesing for Thai food but would still like a starter, maybe something from the sushi menus (sashimi, nigiri, basic rolls, hand rolls, rolls with tempura, vegetarian rolls, chef’s specials or sushi combos will meet your needs.\u00a0 You won’t even need the Hogwarts School of Witchraft and Wizardry’s sorting hat to decide between Slytherin or Gryffindor. Just peruse the “Chef’s Special” section of the sushi menu and pick the one that’s right for you. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Massaman Curry with Two Eggrolls and Rice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our choice came from the “basic rolls” section of the menu where we found the crunchy roll<\/strong><\/em> (raw spicy tuna and scallops inside with tempura flakes and eel sauce on top).\u00a0 At eight to ten pieces per order, it not only hit the spot, it made us regret not having ordered several more rolls.\u00a0 By the way, you might experience a bit of sticker shock at seeing rolls knocking on the twenty-dollar price point, rather high for Albuquerque.\u00a0 The crunchy roll is a success both from a textural perspective and from the standpoint of flavor.\u00a0 Eel sauce is good enough that you won’t need wasabi and soy sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lunch combos are served from 11AM through 3PM.\u00a0 With the exception of noodle dishes, all combos are served with steamed rice and include two egg rolls and your choice of a small bowl of miso or egg drop soup. Your entrees are prepared with your choice of beef, pork, chicken, tofu or you can have shrimp or seafood for a bit more. Both the miso soup<\/strong><\/em> and the egg drop soup<\/strong><\/em> are comforting and warming, the type of elixir you appreciate during winter.\u00a0 The wispy ribbons of eggs in the turmeric-yellow egg drop soup swim in a pool of chicken broth that just beckons.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Pad Thai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Massaman curry (red curry paste with coconut milk, potatoes, onions, carrots, tomatoes and peanuts) may be most complex of all Thai curries to prepare.\u00a0 \u00a0That complexity may stem from the fact that the dish didn’t originate in Thailand but is believed to have originated with Muslim spice traders.\u00a0 When I spooned my first taste of the massaman curry<\/strong><\/em>, the\u00a0 spices and chiles, all kissed by a sweet wave of coconut milk, uplifted my mood and made me very happy–even moreso when I added a few more chiles to counterbalance the sweetness of the dish.\u00a0 Making diners happy is a quality massaman curry does better than just about any dish.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of my chief complaints about the ubiquitous Pad Thai is that it can assault you with cloying excess.\u00a0 More often there’s a significant imbalance of \u00a0fish sauce, vinegar, sugar and tamarind paste that renders the dish far too sweet.\u00a0 Tokyo Bangkok’s rendition is much more balanced, especially if you add just a bit of Sriracha sauce to make things interesting.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> The chicken was very tender, while the noodles were a perfect chewy al dente and stir-fried to perfection. When ingredients speak for themselves, chicken Pad Thai<\/strong><\/em> can appease even a hard-case like me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Mangoes With Sticky Rice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If there’s a dessert which practically screams summer, it’s mangoes with sticky rice<\/strong><\/em>, a traditional Thai dessert made with sticky (glutinous) rice, mangoes, coconut milk, salt and sugar.\u00a0 This is a magnificent melange of ingredients which come together to form one of the most refreshing and delicious of desserts, one which evokes feelings of the tropics, maybe even of paradise.<\/span><\/p>\n

A visit to Tokyo Bangkok in Albuquerque may not be as rewarding and satisfying as a visit to Thailand, but for satisfying Thai food and sushi, it’s a very good option.<\/span><\/p>\n
