Asian Station — Restaurant in Rogers Park Township

Absolutely outstanding - truly a hidden treasure! There is nothing close to this quality of Asian cuisine in Rogers Park, West Ridge, South Evanston, or even Andersonville, which has several good Thai restaurants. The food is LOADED with flavor. The Pad Thai was not the typical blob of bland noodles, but an addictive joy to eat that was bursting with complementary and balanced flavors of sweet, sour, and a hint of heat to the very last bite. Even a simple salmon sushi roll was complex and balanced with a dash of spice. The egg rolls again demonstrated a commitment to flavor. They were crisp, but delicate and not greasy, with a delightfully tasty filling and a dipping sweet and sour sauce that was without a doubt the most delicious I have ever had. ...

I was carving some soup noodles. In stead of order something I knew and had before. I ordered their recommended food on the menu ‘Duck curry’. It came with a bowl of rice and a big portion of curry. It’s a Thai style dish because they have pineapples and leaches in the curry. Pretty cool, I like it. I also ordered another recommended dessert ‘Thai custard’, it’s a warm dessert, a mixture of taro, eggs and coconut milk. I love taro, so anything with taro is delicious. The lady served me was so nice, I guess she is one of the owner. The restaurant is very clean and colorful. It’s was a pouring rain while I stepped out of the restaurant. I was able to stay until it almost stopped. Very friendly people...

We ordered Pad Kee Mao, BBQ Pork Noodle, Tom Kha soup, garden rolls, and Roti Canai and the only thing we enjoyed was the Roti Canai + free egg rolls. Everything else was too sweet. I would eat multiple orders of the Roti Canai as a whole meal. But the 2 noodle dishes were way too greasy, and also too similar-tasting for what was supposed to be 2 different dishes. The garden rolls had too many pickled vegetables and made the whole roll too sweet. The Tom Kha soup was too sweet, and didn't have enough lemongrass and other spices. I like that their menu has many options, maybe we just got unlucky with our selections. I also haven't tried the sushi yet, but it looks...
