Spice Station

Enjoyed our dinner. Had a bit of sushi, pad Thai and a shallow Thai dish. All was very delicious. The Thai dishes were good but definitely with a different non traditional touch. We found them not spicy enough and we weren't asked about spice level. Maybe they saw a mom with two teens and thought we can't go too spicy 🔥. So if you like it hot, tell them. Otherwise, the place is in nice area, was busy enough to indicate it was popular spot for all ages.

This restaurant is an absolute standout in Sarasota. The food is excellent—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and consistently prepared with care. The menu is impressively thorough, offering a wide range of dishes with different spice levels, so everyone can find something they’ll love. The space itself is spotless and welcoming. There’s comfortable outdoor seating, and the bar adds a nice touch whether you’re stopping in for a casual drink or pairing something with your meal. Overall, this is easily one of the best Thai restaurants in Sarasota. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great food, thoughtful presentation, and a clean, inviting atmosphere.

Really enjoyed it! Fresh sashimi, polite and attentive staff, clean, cozy, and fast service. A perfect spot for lunch — I’ll definitely be back.

We had a very disappointing experience at Spice Station on a Saturday evening. There were seven of us, family and neighbors gathering together for what was meant to be a pleasant night out; unfortunately, the service derailed the entire evening. We were seated outdoors, and from the beginning service was extremely poor. Drinks sat empty for long stretches and were slow to be refilled. Our two appetizers did not arrive together, and after a very long wait our entrées were brought out only a few at a time. Five people were halfway finished eating while two guests were still waiting for their meals. Our server rarely returned to the table, and communication about the delays was essentially nonexistent. Eventually one of the missing entrées arrived so late that the guest no longer wanted it,

Very cozy environment. The staff are super friendly and made some great food recommendations. Try the mango roll, it’s delicious! Prices were lower than expected, in a good way. If you are dying for sushi or some hot Japanese food, give them a shot, I’m glad I did.
