Guys !!!! Absolutely unreal place. Food was amazing and so cheap, so you can buy loads of it. Just so tasty and portions were goooood, and specially if you get cheese naan. Indian and Nepalese food and incredible. Will come back here for sure.

We really enjoyed our meal in here and we agreed one of the best curries we’ve had. I’m not sure what the negative reviews are moaning about, the food was exceptional. We ordered 3 starters 2 mains with 1 rice and 2 naans, plain and garlic, a wine and a beer. Came to just over 6000 jpy (or about £30) which is fantastic. No complaints at all.

I love the naan and butter chicken here. I don't know about other foods but the naan is really The staff aren't Japanese but they speak Japanese well and with limited English.

We were not initially expecting Nepalese/Indian based on the name of the restaurant but we were immediately impressed by the smell of the food. Then subsequently blown away by the presentation and flavor. This was an incredible and memorable meal.

Another awesome meal. Ordered the Vegetable Salad, Curry Mutton, Chicken Tikka Masala n Nans n all were very good. The homemade miso Vegetable Salad sauce is very refreshing n tasty. Mutton n Chicken were both very soft n tender. An order of Nan was large, light , fluffy and crispy at the same time. Best Nan I hv tasted. A surprisingly find in Matsumoto and is excellent. Very good value for money dinner. Well done Asian Station. U made another 2 customers very happy

The owner is very friendly, and the food is authentic. Take-out is still available, and the food was made quickly. The restaurant has 4 tables which seat 4 each, and a long bar. It's often quiet when I come in, being that it's just off the main shopping street. They sell a lot of dry goods for home cooking, as well as spicy pickles.

Hidden gem inside Nawate Street of Matsumoto. Have varieties of curries and authentic DalBhat eaten by Nepalese. Cheese Naan is a must try with Chicken Curry. Prices are reasonable. Lunch Time is 11-3 Dinner Time is 5-9 Highly recommended
