  |  Asian Bars in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico Albuquerque - Far Northeast Heights Jinja Bar & BistroMon-Fri: 11am-10pm
Sat-Sun: 11:30am-10pm (hours can change without notice) Cuisine: Asian Full review: Prefab Pacific whim (1/11/2007)
This Asian-American eatery has a reputation for retro Pacific Rim decor and the clink of drinks with little umbrellas in them. If you're in the mood for East-meets-West fare like lettuce wraps, quaking beef or Tokyo crispy tofu, then load up the Prius and take a drive down Paseo del Norte. You’ll also find a large selection of fine loose teas and more liquor than you can shake a limbo stick at. Have a yen for wine? Here it comes in white, red and plum.

If you’re in the Uptown Mall and in need of a bite to eat, and perhaps an elephant safari, Elephant Bar might be your ticket. OK, so the elephants aren’t real, and you can’t ride on them, but the large dining room is full of carvings and sculptures of them, even more than palm trees. The food is Americanized Asian mishmash, with good salads and seafood. An organic green salad with walnuts and creamy gorgonzola was big and good, simple in a good way. The wood grilled trout with lobster sauce was pure joy to eat. Even better is the ahi tuna salad, available as both entrée and appetizer sized, which consists of slices of seared fish atop a pile of seaweed and salad greens, with pickled ginger and wasabi—and green sesame seeds.
