Wow. Wow. Super fresh super good. I like the ambiance, the pho was excellent. I think the service was a little iffy in that we went periods of waiting a little longer than one should expect whether to order, get water or get the bill. Far from a deal breaker though. Can't wait to go back. read more

There is nothing bland about this place. Everything I've tried is very seasoned and tasty. Be prepared for large portions for the entrees--great for splitting with others. Their Vietnamese spring rolls come with a very tasty peanut sauce--it's viscosity is perfect. It's unique in the sense that it's not like a traditional peanut sauce, it has more spice and dimension. The chicken satay is great too. Grilled chicken on sewers and tender and flavorful with a sauce to put over top. This restaurant has Asian style food but with a flare. Can't go wrong with their shrimp fried rice, almost has a sweetness to it but not overwhelming. There's a good balance. Overall cleanliness, lighting, space, etc is also up to par. Staff is cordial. We were seated and served food almost immediately. Maybe waited 10 minutes for our small plates and 20 for our entrees. read more

The time spent as Asparagus was just a wonderful experience!! Our server Brittanie was amazing, she took our parties order of sixteen without writing down anything and got everyone's order correct. The dress code is casual for date night or girls night out. I ordered a Cadillac margarita that was fresh with a crisp finish. I will definitely return for the drink. Kay ordered the flank steak m.w and just loved it so much!! The picture was taken after she max. read more

I have been to this place before and I am a creature of habit. I usually order the same thing once I find my dish. This time I tried something new. I asked my server what all could be made vegan. She said almost anything on the menu could be made vegan. I was ecstatic! I tried this hot and spicy dish that was made vegan added tofu to it. The combination of spicy and sweet was like a beautiful blend of mouth watering happiness. The service is always remarkable. read more

This place is a freaking gem. My husband got the Tom Yum soup and Masaman curry and I got the asparagus and crab soup and almond beef and we were blown away. We recently went to Thailand and this was the PERFECT reminder of those flavors. Bold and bright and delicate and subtle. We were not disappointed. Courtney, our server, was kind and helpful! Thank you! read more

My mom and I had a very lovely experience dining here for lunch. Mom got one of their soups which was delicious and I got the pad Thai which was great. One thing to note: the Pad Thai portion is huge, easily enough to feed 3-4 people, so keep that in mind if you do order that. The service was great as well! read more

Great service and delicious food.. I do recommend Asparagus, just wish that the menu had more vegan options..

A solid 3, but certainly not 4. Great, attentive service, easy to be seated. But the food was average. Tempura beans were fine, but the batter is a bit heavy, more like fried than tempura. The gingery sauce and wasabi were great. Both the Mussaman curry and Seafood Penang were very generous portions. In fact the accompanying small bowl of rice was not enough. We thought about asking for more rice, but not enough to pay for another scoop. The Mussaman gets the nod over the Penang. Too many green peppers. read more

Best restaurant in the region! Red curry is the best I've ever had! Amazing food overall!

Good: Food, ambiance, service Bad: Big and confusing menu, hard to read bc they tried to shrink everything into 2 pages - dim lighting doesn't help, either OTT: Portions are HUGE, fit for 2 read more

Best food and service. A little pricey but so good. The best fried rice, coconut soup. And the drinks so good. Don't forget dessert yum

Excellent Pad Thai! Honestly the best I've ever had. Customer service was wonderful and the atmosphere was fit for a date night.

Great place but horrible slow service from waitress! Will go again but will request different server.

Always fantastic, always a flavor explosion! The Pho is tasty and the lemongrass seafood dish (I forget what it's called) is what I get every time. And a kid pleasing dish is the Thai fried rice. Atmosphere is nice as well. Keep it up, Asparsgus! read more

As expected most everything was really delicious. We have been going to Asparagus for years. I have only 2 minor complaints. Don't like the bread given with the duo cargot. I think it's slices of a premade frozen garlic bread? What would be better is if they made fresh toasted slices from a fresh baguette. Also my husband had the grilled flank steak, he said the meat was tender. It came with mashed potatoes and mushrooms and a nicely flavored sauce. The problem was it was swimming in the sauce. The wait staff should warn the diner of this and give the option of light on the sauce or even on the side. The mash potatoes were mush by the time he got to them under everything. The flavors of everything is really good. My usual order of curried crispy catfish did not disappoint. The bar area is a great place to sit. read more

I was recommended to try there shrimp fried rice the lady cashier was very rude over the phone and in my presence the same way the food was terrible something they had left over from previous day never will I return here again read more

Very upscale place for Thai food. The prices are hefty but the portions are plentiful. Stopped in for dinner and ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and catfish curry to split. The noodles arrived and our jaws dropped-- probably the biggest plate of noodles I've ever seen. The flavor was quite good and there were tons of veggies, including-- you guessed it!-- asparagus. My only complaint with it was we forgot to specify how hot to make the noodles, and the default must have been mild. Thus it really really needed heat. The curry (which I DID remember to request to be spicy) had more heat than the noodles, but still not much. However, the broth of the curry was excellent, the green beans and peppers were plentiful and tender, and the fish itself was nicely crisped. It was a tad "fishy" for my liking and the fried basil was mostly just greasy and flavorless crunch, but overall it was tasty. We tried our best to finish but both went home to leftovers. I ordered a Thai tea for dessert which was sort of bitter but still hit the spot. Again, pretty pricey for Thai food ($56 for two entrees and a tea!) but good flavor and enormous portions. Tl;dr: if you like-a da spicy, make-a sure you tell them or NO SPICE FOR YOU on you tasty food! read more

Date night with my husband. It's been awhile since we've been here, so we decided to revisit. The menu has changed a little, which is always a good thing. I love the Asian-French fusion they have going on in their food. So good! The bar is fully stocked with various multiple liquors. The drink menu has many wonderful cocktails. The ambience is low key and can be romantic, depending on the situation. We didn't order any appetizers, as we just sat and enjoyed one another's company and a couple of drinks. I ordered the "To Die For" braised pork shank. Wowza. Large portion! The meat fell off the bone, easy. Seasoning, on point. Taste, beyond delicious. I don't remember what my husband ordered. Oops. I just know what I had was phenomenal! Our server was knowledgeable and very informative. He made awesome small talk. Never felt rushed. I'd definitely recommend this place anytime! read more

Trying to find some place in the Merrillevillare new to eat but didn't. Gamba's was an option but we'd need to dress up a bit more. Asparagus was having a cocktail event. When we arrived, only one other couple was seated in either area. Still, took the hostess and waiter five minutes to figure out where to seat us in the nearly empty dining room. Service was good and entrees were also. Large portions. read more

Very nice atmosphere and plenty delicious food options, the location is not convenient to me but worth the trip...

The food is outstanding and the Martini's are a must. The ambiance is wonderful and the service is above reproach.

What a delightful surprise en route to Chicago. The menu is extensive so, to be honest, I wondered about the capacity to get so many options right. But everything we ordered was awesome. The banana curry was over the top delicious! read more

Consistently great food and excellent service defines this gem tucked off interstate 65. The atmosphere is calming, yet not awkwardly quiet. This trip led me to order up different fare, making my way around the menu. For starters, the Seafood Crispy Rolls are simply good! The scallops, lobster, crab, and shrimp were cooked perfectly and blended quite well in the spring roll. These were miles ahead of the Thai Egg Rolls stuffed with chicken. The Shiitake Duck and Shrimp was delicious. This duck was moist and seasoned well. Although the sauce was a tad bit too sweet for me, the rice and veggies helped to reduce that. As for the desserts, I wanted to try most of them but landed my finger on the Apple Crisp. I'm glad they pulled back on the sugar to allow the apples to do most of the work. The caramel tasted like caramel and not sugar. The whole peanuts and cashews were a nice surprise to the crisp. The service was excellent! She knew the menu and articulated it to all parties. read more

This place is overpriced for okay food. The food was not as authentic as I am used to eating. The red curry was the best item. The pad Thai noodles were really soft and mushy. It just was not an authentic experience. I am sticking to Spice Thai in Merrillville. They are a very small business but their food is worth it and better priced! read more

We Love Asparagus the atmosphere is inviting and great for a date night. The cocktails are delicious and creative. The food is fresh and flavorful we order the drunken noodles it is our favorite. Definitely keep them in mind for your next date night! read more

This was our first time trying Asparagus. We wanted to go somewhere new for our Anniversary and we picked Asparagus due to their reviews. We were NOT disappointed . Our server was Samantha and she was fantastic. She gave us some awesome recommendations. There were a few items I saw on their website menu that were not on the inperson menu and Samantha was able to get those items made for us even though they weren't on the menu for the night. My husband had the Seafood Clay Pot and I had the Pad Thai Chicken. We both agreed the meals were delicious and there was soooo much food. Definitely worth the price. We also had some martinis that were amazing. We definitely recommend trying this place and ask for Samantha as your server, she is so friendly and enthusiastic about her job. read more
