The food was great! We had the Siam chicken and the Thai basil with chicken (both with “Thai spicy” spiciness levels). Both dishes were great - not too salty or sweet. One thing we noticed was that the rice portions are on the smaller side. Even the extra bowl we asked for looked like one small scoop of rice.
The service is very fast and efficient. They’re not there for small talk, which is nice. But they also didn’t come around after the food was delivered to refill drinks. We made eye contact with 2 service people who kept quickly walking away, before we explicitly waved over a 3rd person for refills. They were very quick on refills when it happened though.
Ordered takeout from here for the family and it didn't disappoint. We loved the rolls and tofu Pad Thai as well as the green curry, delish!!!
Top notch restaurant! Excellent cuisine & HUGE menu! Had a Sunomono salad & lobster roll.

If you're looking for a culinary adventure that combines the flavors of Asia with an artistic atmosphere, Spice Station in Sarasota is the place to go! My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and we were blown away by the exceptional sushi and Thai dishes.
From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the unique ambiance of the restaurant. The decor is a blend of modern and traditional elements, and the neighborhood surrounding Spice Station is filled with artistic charm. The fact that there was a concert going on across the street only added to the vibrant energy of the evening.
But let's get back to the food - it was simply amazing. The sushi was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared. We also loved the Thai dishes, which were bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The Tom Kha Gai soup was a standout, with its creamy coconut milk base and fragrant lemongrass and galangal. Oh, and don't forget to try the Pad Thai - it was some of the best we've had outside of Thailand!
The service at Spice Station was also excellent. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, making sure that our every need was met. We really appreciated the care and attention that went into every aspect of our dining experience.
We highly recommend Spice Station to anyone who loves great food and a unique, artistic atmosphere. Whether you're in the mood for sushi, Thai dishes, or both, you won't be disappointed. And with the added bonus of a lively neighborhood and the occasional concert across the street, this is one dining experience you won't forget anytime soon.
I love eating at Spice Station. I love their Shrimp Pad Thai and Pot Stickers. So yummy! I usually eat there but today I ordered takeout. The service has always been great.
The Thai Donuts were excellent although I didn't get them with chocolate. They're great for sharing with friends cuz they're kind of big and there's five of them in an order. I had the spicy chicken Thai noodles and I had them make it number eight Thai spicy and it was excellent and as hot as I wanted! I had the mixed vegetables which were good on the vegetarian menu. The spring rolls and the basil rolls are also both very good although I think the basil rolls were better. I didn't like the sauce that came with the spring rolls but the one that came with the basil rolls was excellent. Took roughly 20 minutes from the time I place my order to get my food to go so I was happy with that. I had water, green tea, and a Thai donut while I was waiting. The atmosphere is nice, parking can be intense after 6:30 but prior to that there's usually Lots. The waitress was very nice and efficient. I saw a multitude of dishes going out and they all looked fantastic definitely will go back to try more!
Fantastic place for Asian food whether that is Sushi or Thai food. I love the Penang Curry and also the chicken Pad Thai is delicious. Everything is very clean and the staff is very friendly
Seared, fresh, healthy! Everything at Spice Station is quality and delicious. I consider myself a sushi connoisseur and few places in Sarasota or Bradenton do it well. I’ll travel from Bradenton to Sarasota just to dine here. Fast and friend service and fair priced for exceptional quality. Their sweet shrimp and quail egg sushi are some of my favorites. Thank you!
We were visiting Sarasota and we love a good Thai restaurant. After reading the reviews, we considered giving Spice Station a try to develop our own review. The ambiance is nice. I like the option they provided of outdoor seating. The food was great, very flavorful. Appetizer’s were small servings for the price, so that was a con but we were pleased with the taste. My only complaint is the service was lacking. When we were seated, no one came to our table to offer water for a while. I had to get up and ask them. When we were ordering, the hostess appeared to be rushing us. All in all the food was great.
What a charming hidden treasure in downtown Sarasota! Wife and I were craving sushi within walking distance of our hotel, so we gave Spice Station a try. We ordered the citrus and super dragon roll and were blown away! The sushi reminded us of our favorite spot in Cleveland (Mizu) and was incredibly tasty, loved the finely cut lemon on the citrus roll especially. Also ordered some panang chicken curry, which was some of the best curry I've ever had, the flavor was perfect. The curry itself was a tad thin as far the texture went (I prefer it a bit thicker) and the portion of rice was a bit small, but those are minor quibbles in what was a fantastic dining experience. The spot itself was delightful in appearance and lots of outdoor seating were available (which is good since it's a bit small inside). I have been to Japanese/Thai combo restaurants before and been disappointed in various ways, but Spice Station knows how to do both right!!!
