Station Asian Noodle Shop

I have been here one time during dinner and thought it was only okay, but decided to come by for lunch with my bro and his gf, and mine. The experience I’d say is pretty bad!
They have a huge menu list with a bunch of specials and combos for decent price… Lots of nice pictures showing what the food looks like and stuff… That was the good! Here comes the bad…
My bro orders the beef & mushroom with rice combo… As we all ordered a combo, it comes with soup, drink, and app. My bro did not enjoy his meal at all, and did not finish his meal…
My bro’s gf got the spicy fish dumpling with udon noodles soup… No noodles in there, but the server got one later for her… Her soup was bland, and the dumpling was not good.
My gf got the honey beef tenderloin with rice. The flavour is there, and the tenderloin was tender, BUT it was ULTRA… ULTRA…ULTRA…Rubbery and took forever to chew and swallow.
I ordered the ‘curry crab’ with rice… Remember all the nice pictures? Well let’s just say the crab picture was very misleading… It shows a full crab picture with legs and body and everything… When it arrived after all of them was basically finishing up their meals, I get mine finally, b/​c the cook forgot to cook it, Or the server forgot to put that in the order to the cook. This crab was a bunch of little crab body… Smaller than blue crab body! I gave it a try, and the meat was UBER soggy! After that small nibble, I gave it up…
The server came back and asked if we wanted to wrap our stuff, and we all said no. The soup was the only thing that was good. My bro decided that the service was atrocious and decided to stiff the server, but I decided to give some tip even for the awful service… But we will NEVER EVVVEERRRR dine here again…

I really enjoy coming here. They have various combos for less than 10 dollars, which include soup, an appetizer, the main dish, dessert and a bubble tea. (I think you have to add $ 1 -$ 2 for the bubble tea now). They have at least 100 things on the menu to choose from and are always changing the specials.
I had a rice noodle, with chicken and pickled cabbage. It was quite good, a bit too much grease, but still very tasty. It came with a soup and shredded chicken as an appetizer. The bubble tea is quite consistent, and good as well.
For dessert, it is like a peach-​flavoured jello. Not really sure what the English translation is, but in China, they used to make it from a turtle shell.
The service though leaves much to be desired. It’s not that they intentionally do it, they just don’t really care.
But for the price, you can’t really ask for much. You can easily eat for under 12 – 13 $ a person (including tax/​tip). It’s never very busy though, but hopefully it will be around for a while.

I have the take out but never have the sit in dinner. On a Thursday night not too much traffic here. I order a combo that includes a shark fin soup and Taiwanese stir fry. The soup tastes like shark fin. I can see the restaurant is selling cans of shark fin soup at the counter. The Taiwanese stir fry although taste good but it is not the real Taiwanese stir fry. IAnother combo is red date soup, chestnut chicken in a hot bowl and comes with a drink. The red date soup comes in a cup. It tastes concentrated. The chestnut is not too soft. Both the chicken and chestnut do not have sauce soaped into them.
I do not know about other restaurants for the same chain but this one the sofa seats are so close to the table. The restaurant definitely wants to squeeze in more people.
The bill comes for over $ 30. For a HK style restaurant, it is not cheap.

I went to this restaurant in the past many times and I have always felt that they are somewhat «stand out» from the crowds. Until today that I had experience unfriendly customer service. This will probably my last time visiting here. My daughter picked up a few sugar bags to shake. A waiter came by immediately and took the sugar container away with about 10 bags of sugar in them. He also told us not to play with sugar. This is the very first time I encountered this, and I gave a very bad look to the waiter as he turned back and starring at us.

This belongs to the same restaurant owner as the Station Asian in Market Village. Therefore they have the same menu and the same prices. But I have better experience here then at Market Village.
I went there around lunch time. The place is not too busy. They have all day menu either with the main course (from $ 6.99) or as a combo which comes with soup, appetitizer and a drink for $ 2 extra.
The thing I like it here is the drink, they have a great selections of cold drinks that includes special Taiwanese drinks without extra charges.
I decided on having the curry fish fillet and the iced milk tea with grass jello.
The soup is ok, but has some Chinese herbs inside… so that’s is quite personally if you use to that taste or not.
The appetitizer is pickled giner with octopus (they don’t like octopus in their nature form, so no need to worry).
I really enjoy the curry fish fillet with rice though, there are tons of green and red pepper, the fish is the best part since they DID not deep fried that in flour coating. I can really taste the texture of the fish and it taste fresh!
The drink I treated that as a dessert. yes it is as fattening as a dessert. :). The tea is really creamy… but I love grass jello… I wish there are more in that!
The waitstaffs were talking really loud, discussing their own personal life while I were eating…
BTW, if you come at night, the combos does includes a dessert for free… I wondering why not during lunch?
They accepts Mastercard, Visa and cash.
