Review from Lauren M.

Was pleasantly surprised with Spoon & Fork. Came here on Thursday night and it was packed (make a reservation, even mid week!)
They have a large menu with mainly Thai and Japanese food. Usually this spells trouble, but the food was all executed perfectly here.
I tried a Rainbow roll ($12) and a Hawaii roll (mango & crab - $6). Fish was exceptionally fresh - I was not expecting the melt-in-your-mouth type freshness of fish from a place like this, but it truly was really well done.
Moro mu (my DC) had a chicken terriyaki meal ($15) and a dish of stir-fried rice, which were both well done and nicely presented.
The service here was fantastic, we had a funny guy who cracked jokes and was very attentive.
You can skip the A-La-Carte menu and do an all-you-can-eat type ordering system off the menu for $26.99, which is absolutely ridiculously cheap! You can order a large variety of fancy rolls, sashimi, Japanese and Thai appetizers, curries, terriyaki dishes and everything else. No wonder people are lining up out the door, it's a bargain.
Decor is fresh and modern. The booth seating along the upper level is nice. -

Tried out Spoon & Fork in lieu of brunch on Easter Sunday. I wasn't expecting to eat Japanese food quite so soon as I had just moved here from Vancouver and had my fill of excellent West Coast Japanese fare in the weeks prior to flying to Toronto, but this Japanese/Thai all-you-can-eat restaurant is not bad. Could be more authentic and less pricey.
I enjoyed the rolls and cones, but the sashimi (salmon, snapper, butter fish) were very thinly sliced and nothing special. The satays (beef and chicken) were good, as was the street style pad thai with prawns (although someone in our group thought it tasted slightly burnt). I did not like the green curry chicken -- the curry sauce had a fluorescent tinge and you could tell it was just poured over whichever meat you chose to have with it. Must have good curry if touting Thai cuisine. Overall, S&F served better food than other AYCE Japanese restaurants of which there are many in Vancouver.
Service here was friendly and prompt, and the decor is stylish. I wouldn't go out of my way to return to S&F, although I'm not against another visit if I were in the neighborhood, particularly if I want to be stuffed for the rest of the day. -

Decent all-you-can-eat...
their crowd management is terrible, there was roughly 30 people standing in a very small lobby area. They need to ditch the booth near the door, and create a sitting area. I wanted to get a drink while we waited, but was difficult to make your way to it. Very poorly thought out. Nice decor though...
Food was decent...the mini sushi pizza's were very good, although i didnt like the pad thai, my dinner date loved it. Sushi pieces were generous in size.
Very quick from time ordered to brought to the table, however the rolls were poorly rolled.
Was OK, not sure if I would return. Definitely have a reservation if you go. -

The concept here is that you order from a tasting menu, all you can eat, but limited seating time of 2 hours. Also, you do have to pay extra for any uneaten items at the end of the meal. This is not really an issue, though as you can continually order items as you go along and don't need to order everything up front.
I have enjoyed pretty much everything I've tried here (which after several visits amounts to a large portion of the menu). I especially recommend the Curry pumpkin soup, veggie spring rolls and the pineapple fried rice (heavenly...could eat several bowls of just that!).
The atmosphere of the restaurant is great,I like the decor and the ambiance. The service however is sort of haphazard. You might have to wait a while to order more items, as the server might deliver some items and then seem to disappear for long periods.
Bit on the pricey side, but in my opinion, worth the cost for the quality of the food and the variety and amount you can select. -

Fresh quality Japanese-Thai buffet restaurant at a great value!
Lunch: $15.99/person
Limited time offer: http://www.spoonandfor...
Decor: Gorgeous. It's modern, fresh, clean, chic... without breaking the bank.
Service: Pretty good. Very attentive considering we were sitting at an area away from the main dining hall.
Food: Sashimi is fresh with a good variety for a buffet. Fried Rice and stir-fry noodles were really good. Some dishes are much spicier than others. From what I was told from my Malaysian and Singapore friends, the dishes are quite authentic. The beef basil stir fries were one of my top choices along with the shrimp fried rice. My favourite was the mango salad.
Con: no dessert, but who has room for it when you are stuffed from all these other dishes?
I hope they keep the offer for a bit longer, 'coz I would love to go back for more. For thought, I didn't come out of this restaurant being very thirsty so, I'm happy to know that the use of MSG is limited or none. -

I love this place. I didn't love the Thai side of the menu but I loved almost all my food. Great sashimi and coconut shrimp.

Had a Birthday dinner party here, Fantastic food but service needs improvement. Had to speak with waiter supervisor about our aloof waiter.Took 20 minutes to get a drink...the excuse that its busy doesnt wash well. The Birthday girl ordered a mango dacquiri, it arrived 20 minutes later, and wasnt a mango dacquiri?? The waiters need to slow down and serve their customers not just throw food on the table and try to get away before the customer can order more. As I said, fantastic food $24.99 for all you can eat.
