Spoon & Fork

Excellent food and environment. Staff very knowledgable of the menu and friendly, however, food from tasting menu, on multiple visits, takes a very long time to be arrive, even when the place isn’t that busy.

My Friend extremely recommended this place for the best sushi in TO.
Went there with huge expectations and generally speaking it was an-​OK, just a good place in the middle of my Sushi ranks, some rolls were good, some were weird, the fish wasn’t crazy fresh and soft but was OK.
Comparing to other Sushi restaurants in the area this one is on the pretty pricey.
I would recommend this place at least once because it is clearly a thing of personal taste with this place.

It has been a while since I had gone Spoon and Fork and I was craving some sushi so I went back yesterday. Overall, I wasn’t pleased. The quality and service are both deteriorating. The venue is still nice but the price for AYCE is expensive here and doesn’t include dessert or tea. It’s not really worth it. I would rather go to Sake Sushi in Woodbridge.

I went there last week with my colleagues. The food is average. but the customer service was terrible. I ordered my food 2x times and it never came.

I love this place. The atmosphere, the servers and the selection of food is great. Lots of variety with the all you can eat menu. Great for groups!

Price:
$ 26.99 for a weekday dinner AYCE
Went here for a friend’s birthday. The menu had a wide variety of selection in Japanese and Thai cuisines. Fast, friendly service. And very tasty food.
My only criticism is that the dessert doesn’t come with the AYCE price… it’s extra! Very disappointed and wouldn’t come here again just because of that

Stars: 3.5 *
About: Spoon & Fork is an AYCE that serves Chinese, Japanese, and Thai dishes. I believe they have four locations serving Japanese Thai; Vaughan, Queensway, Oakville and Mississauga. They do have other restaurants under the Spoon & Fork name but they serve either only Japanese (à la carte) or Thai Vietnamese (AYCE). This review is based on the Vaughan location which is located in the large Colossus Plaza. There is ample parking in the plaza, and the décor of the restaurant is modern and upscale.
Price: A friend and I went there for dinner a couple of weeks ago at their Vaughan location. The prices at Spoon & Fork was rather steep in comparison to the standard uptown AYCE. Dinner prices for Monday to Thursday was $ 26.99, and Fri to Sunday was $ 27.99 per person.
Menu: The menu offers a wide variety of items from appetizers, salad, sashimi, maki/​hand rolls, noodles, sushi, curry, and many more. The menu also has clear and colorful pictures of a majority of the dishes.
Food: I am a fan of both Japanese and Thai food, so this was why Spoon & Fork appealed to me when I first learned of its existence. However, after dining here, I don’t think the quality of the food really justify the cost of the weekend buffet. Perhaps it may be worth it if you go with a larger group, so you could try out more food. My dinner alone was a little under $ 45 (that includes the cost of dessert, tax, and tip) for a Friday night. The food was relatively decent for an AYCE, but there was nothing stand-​out to me.
I’ll start with the items that I did enjoy though. The crispy texture of the calamari was good, and the spicy fish sauce went well with it. The beef teriyaki arrived in one large piece, and uncut. This was the first time where I have seen it presented that way. Normally, it would either be shredded or in small pieces. However, it wasn’t dry and rather flavorful. The bite-​sized salmon sushi pizza was a favorite of mine, and each order comes with 3. The pad thai was edible, but unfortunately they covered it in ketchup instead of tamarind sauce. The fish quality was slightly above average and were sliced rather thin. Additionally, the hand roll, maki roll, and sushi were very standard for an AYCE. Normally, I loved chicken but none of the chicken dishes appealed to me as they were dry with little flavor (such as the chicken teriyaki and chicken wings). The rest of the items were rather average.
I was surprised that desserts wasn’t included in the cost of the AYCE considering the higher price point. I can understand why they wouldn’t include the deep fried desserts, but a bowl of ice-​cream was an additional $ 4 for each flavor. Nonetheless, my friend and I decided to order desserts, as we were short on time to go anywhere else. I got the crème brûlée ($ 6.50) and my friend got the green tea ice-​cream ($ 4). The portion for the crème brûlée was small, as I finished it in about 3 – 4 bites.
Service: From what I can recall; the service was good. Our server was welcoming, quick to take our orders, and clear the empty dishes. Additionally, the dishes came out at a reasonable time, and none of our food items were missed.

A BIG step up from my terrible experience last time…
I mean, at the end of the day, it is buffet and my expectations are low. but given there’s no other buffet place that can top spoon and fork.
Their variety is amazing. Anything you can find from Japanese sushi, to good old steak and mash’d. It is quite pricey,. You’re looking at about 40 $pp after taxes and gratuity. But you go there for the variety and not so much for the seafood. You will be disappointing knowing all their seafood went straight from the freezer to the table.

Good food. Service is a little slow.
Order the shrimp its great.
Sushi is tasty and very fresh

Clearly I’m missing something? I wouldn’t rate this place very high. Went here for the AYCE during lunch and:
The sushi menu is limited.
The Thai menu is basic standard dishes.
The service is super slow. Perhaps on purpose so while you wait you feel full?
The «all black on black» décor is supposed to make you feel like you’re at an upscale restaurant but it really is tacky. Like you’re at a club with the lights on and you can see all the stains on the fabrics!
Please save your $ 18 for lunch elsewhere. So not worth it.

This is first time experiencing All you can eat menu at this high end place. The food is exceptional delicious, although only comes with small portion, sort of giving your more room to taste other food selection. I personally like teriyaki beef, Bok Choy with garlic, the sashimi is ask quite fresh. I will definitely recommend this place and revisit next time in town.

This place is pricey for a weekend lunch buffet, $ 17.99, but that’s because it’s the only restaurant that offers sashimi during lunch, which is totally worth it. If you don’t like eating buffets for dinner but are craving for sashimi, this is the place to go. The sashimi selection was quite small compared to dinner though, only 7 varieties (including egg).
The restaurant was very big and packed. The waiter was very nice, since I didn’t know how big each plate was and only ordered 1 for my large party of 11, he brought out enough food accordingly.
As for the food, you could tell it was of very good quality. However: DO NOT WASTE YOUR STOMACH ON THE APPETIZERS. They weren’t good, in fact the deep fried wontons had no filling, it was just the skin. Each serving is quite small though and we ended up reordering because not everyone had a taste. There menu was kinda small compared to other restaurants, but the sashimi made it worth it.
The only sad thing was that dessert costs extra so I truly didn’t feel satisfied by my meal. I do recommend the garlic beef and beef teriyaki. If I ever craved sashimi, I would definitely come back.

All You Can Eat (AYCE)!!!
For a regular lunch price these guys offer a lot and you wouldn’t be able to work after the lunch.
The server was very friendly and once we told her we have to be out in about an hour, she made sure the food came out quick.
We ordered quite a bit… the best thing about their AYCE is they provide provide sashimi in their lunch menu. Their lunch menu is quite vast and they have a fusion of Japanese/​Thai flavours. So we had sashimi, sushi flying all over the table and we also got some fried stuff. My favourite was their Thai green curry, it was very good and cooked to perfection.
Overall, the service, food and atmosphere was excellent.

The All You Can Eat program here is great! You order off the menu over and over until you are stuffed for one set price.
The food is really good and the service is 5 star!
Could I complain? Yeah if I tried but why be negative? This is a solid dinner spot well worth the money.

If you like over priced high sodium food and bad service, this is the place for you.
Came here on a Sunday night for a birthday dinner with 15 people — not by choice. Didn’t realize it was all-​you-​can-​eat at first.
Here are the highlights:
— really bad service. The server kept messing up the orders, didn’t really seem to care and just kept dropping the dishes in one spot for us to decide who ordered what. You might as well make it a self serve buffet if you don’t want to hire enough staff.
— All of the food was really gross. Too salty, lacked flavor, cold and really not good.
— Overpriced. For two people our bill came to $ 76 (not including tip). All we had were two buffet plates and 2 bottles of water.
The only positive thing I can say is the décor is beautiful. Very well designed restaurant, but looks are surely deceiving.
Will never be returning here again.

We enjoy a regular visit to spoon and fork, we enjoy their variety of delicious food, amazing prices beautiful décor and pretty good drink selection.
We were here for lunch on a weekday, we were a bit disappointed with the fact that the place was half empty in the inside and the outside, we were really looking forward to enjoy the patio, but were upset, due to the lack of staff there was a line up @ the door and everyone had to wait, a couple of people decided to walk out and leave… We hung out by the bar and finally got seated, it took a little while to place our orders, but once we did the food kept on coming, for under $ 20 we had all you can eat, delicious lunch, including Thai food, sushi, sashimi and off the wok. Overall we had a good time and a good lunch, but they really should have had more staff on board!

My brother had his engagement party here for a group of 30.
The food came out slow and when I approached the manager to ask why he replied that it was their cost saving mechanism so food is not wasted. That is all I will say about that. Our guests left hungry, I did not get to eat half the things I ordered on the menu and the staff was pretty absent. Menu was limited with a many restrictions. Dessert is not included in the AYCE. Too overpriced for what you get.
Overall a terrible experience which I have told everyone with ears to. The food was mediocre but the décor was amazing so if you care about your eyes rather than your mouth or belly do come here to tantalize your optical senses.

This place is a favorite of mine just due to the sheer variety of dishes that I can have. Also each location usually features two types of cuisine, here it is Thai and Japanese. I love Japanese food: sashimi, sushi, rolls, tempura, and who doesn’t love a lil bit of rice or fried noodles, in moderation of course.
The quality of the sashimi and rolls are not bad. I like their spicy salmon rolls. I would like if they can increase their rolls selection by juuuussst a few more that would be perfect. I recently tried their lunch menu, which seems to have less selection than dinner. I love my seaweed salad, can’t have enough. But today they ran out of chicken wings… SERIOUSLY? No chicken wings? Such a downer. Their tempura was pretty standard, although the batter a tad thick and they give so little tempura sauce, I had to ask for more.
I don’t usually order their stir fried dishes because most of them are really saucy (thick sauce) or oily. The fried rice seems to be pretty good here and pretty flavourful. The pad Thai is also pretty okay. This time I tried the Pad Seew and was not up to standard for me. The noodles seem «old» and stuck together. The flavour was still okay. I ordered a grapefrult tea, it was good until I realized it’s the Taiwanese Yuzu jelly mixed with some hot water, it didn’t actually seem to have tea in it. Also, decided to be spontaneous with a banana crêpe. The crêpe didn’t seem fresh, way too much whip cream and not eough bananas!
The service was usually okay here but today the waitress was not really on the ball and the server bringing the food did not speak clearly each time he put down the dishes and we didn’t know what anything was. He didn’t seem to like his job. But the décor is nice and it’s a good atmosphere and generally pretty clean.

First impressions — very classy looking place with the decore and the dimmed lighting.
The food was just as good as the York Mills location but had much fewer options to choose from. For example, BBQ eel in the sashimi section is missing and the Italian pasta are not available at all in this location. Not too sure if this menu is standard in all locations, because its quite possible the menu has changed since my last visit to the York Mills location.
$ 16.99 per person for the lunch AYCE is still a great value because they do offer salmon sashimi.
Good food, excellent service, affordable price.

Since trying this place out a while back I have since LEARNED MORE ABOUT JAPANESE AND THAI FOOD and also… TRIED MORE.
So here is my newly updated review:
My husband and I celebrated our 7^th anniversary with dinner at Spoon and Fork (colossus) and yes, thank you, …its been 7 wonderful years. =)
We were so well received. The hostess looked for our reservation, sat us down and our waitress was just delightful.
I drank «sex on the beach» because I’m a girlie girl. And we ordered all of our favorites.
I still don’t know where we put all that food but it kept coming and it was fresh and delicious. Also– Kudos to Asian Cuisine for being the most beautifully presented food on the planet! I added pics of everything we ate… they gave us a complimentary anniversary cake slice and were very good with the service.
The food was delicious.
We left happy. And we’ll be back soon.
Also– our friends (at our recommendation) went on a date there and loved it as well.
The ambiance is romantic and chic, the food is good and the price is $ 27.99 for all you can eat. Overall, a decent deal.
