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.

Nestled in a cozy corner, this Thai restaurant delivers a delightful fusion of flavors and a warm dining experience. With a focus on authentic Thai cuisine, the menu showcases a wide range of dishes that can be customized to suit all dietary preferences, including a comprehensive selection of vegetarian options. Full service bar. Ambiance: The ambiance is welcoming Cuisine: A standout dish is the Three Flavor Snapper, a masterfully executed combination of sweet, sour, and spicy.The fish was perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior and tender, flaky inside. Each bite was infused with rich layers of flavor. The flexibility of the menu is impressive, with any dish offered in a vegetarian variation. This is a major plus for diners with diverse dietary needs. Service: The service is equally praiseworthy. Staff are attentive without being intrusive. Final Verdict: This restaurant is a must-visit for lovers of Thai cuisine, especially those seeking a thoughtful, flexible menu that caters to all preferences.

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!

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.

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.

Not sure why I hadn't been here before! Great service. Clean atmosphere. Delicious sushi! Definitely looking forward to going back again and ordering a boat! They have indoor and outdoor dining.
