They charge me $1.62 for a can of diet coke. Inflation I say! The food although is pretty good and I love their curry chicken. It’s really chaotic there around 12-1 as the line takes up the whole entrance. The front desk lady doesn’t like me cause I asked her where my order was and she said it wasn’t ready…however the other lady found it on the counter behind them and blew up her spot. Pretty exciting lunch day if I say so myself!

Asian Station: Wow! I’m so happy to finally have a great Sushi restaurant in the neighborhood, and you cannot beat the prices! They have Thai and Chineese dishes as well. I’ve been eating here minimum 2 nights/week and everything from the sashimi to chinnese dishes is FABULOUS! I hope this place is around forever. They have great lunch specials from $6-11 dollars and the best happy hour from 4-8pm it’s half price drinks and dirt cheap appetizers. The staff is very friendly and they play upbeat music during happy hour! Sometimes it takes a bit to get a drink as they have many freshly made martinis that take a while to make but they are worth the wait!

They are willing to modify anything on the menu to your taste as well. I get my rolls with brown rice instead of white…delicious!

Went here with a friend for lunch today and we both very much enjoyed it (although I too was suspicious of the thai/japanese/chinese combo at first). She got a red curry lunch ($8 and comes with choice of brown rice and soup choice of hot & sour, wonton, or egg drop). I got the salamon teryaki bento box for $8 which included 4 pcs california roll, 4 pcs shumai, salad, brown rice, and steamed veggies. The food was really very good, and the price is unbeatable! There was no wait for a table for lunch at 12:30 — possibly word hasn’t gotten out yet. On the whole we decided we’d both be back soon. Great value!

I was very surprised at the Great HAPPY HOUR pricing at $2 a bear and $3.50 for large sake. It is very hard to find Sake on any happy hours. They also have a Happy Hour (4-7) food menu that was delicious. Their home made dumplings are delicious. The staff is very friendly and Mike the manager is a hands on kinda guy. Very pleasant atmosphere. I now have a new favorite Japanese restaurant. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Just got the sesame chicken lunch special from asian bistro..

For 7.50$ it’s a pretty good deal.. the chicken is pretty good… (not 50% breading like some other places) and it comes with a good portion of miso soup (option of egg drop and wonton i think) It’s not really “crispy” but for what it is.. it’s pretty good.. I agree that Fusia might be a better option, and this won’t replace Master Yap’s.. but for decent cheap chinese… it’s not bad (we here on the east side have had all our cheap chinese options close on us… so it’s second best..)

I will never forgive them for destroying the bad-Chinese food greatness that was Master Yap’s. RIP roast pork noodle soup and mediocre American-Chinese steam table. :(

Dylan: that’s Fusia you’re talking about, right?

While by no means authentic Thai food (they owners are Chinese), the Red Curry w/ beef is delicious in its own right, and big enough for two meals.

The chirashi’s also good and filling, and a deal w/ soup for $10 bucks. This is coming from someone who never feels quite full after a sushi lunch.
