Spoon & Fork

This place sadly has gone DOWN HILL over the years. Asides from the HORRIBLE service the quality of the food has also turned horrible. Disappointed as a regular. Will never recommend this place again.
Spoon and fork lost a long time customer with a great word of mouth impact.

Do you like sand in your surf clam? This restaurant thinks you might! Our waiter was surly or tired. Perhaps he just hates his job. Anyway, took a long time to take our order but the food was good enough aside from the surf clam. Hot and sour soup was good. Green curry was good. All the maki is the same. Bathrooms are clean. Nice décor but starting to look a bit dated. Won’t be back unless forced to.

We went here for lunch today (3 of us). After about a 10 minute wait, we were brought to our table. We then waited another 10 minutes before being asked only what we wanted to drink from a waitress who just happened to be passing by. We asked her if we could order and she rudely told us «Don’t order too much». We ordered our food and it was about half an hour before the first tiny dish came, and about 15 minutes between each of the following plates. Our drinks were never refilled and the food was okay but really nothing outstanding. We then decided to get dessert menus, and found out that the desserts were not included in the all you can eat deal and were extremely overpriced.
After undergoing their TERRIBLE service, we got the bill which turned out to be $ 100.00 for just THREE PEOPLE at LUNCH. It was ludicrous, really. Please don ‘t waste your time and money here. No part of it is worth it.

Been coming to this restaurant since day one!
Always receive GREAT food & service– and have
Visited many many times.
My all time favourite Thai/​Japanese food and I love that it’s AYCE

Service was very rude and horrible they could not give me a wait time then manager just walked away. I do NOT recommend. So many other better places

Spoon and Fork is among, if not the most reliable AYCE sushi spots in Oakville. They have a number of locations which isn’t a coincidence, they are consistent in their quality and service.
The fish is very good, and the bar is stocked with several beers and other spirits. In terms of the menu, they could stand to add a little more– their Plus locations offer a much wider variety of sushi and other foods. However, there is enough here to have a nice meal. It is pricey on weekends and at dinner so aim for lunch.

Good service… Good ambiance and the food was good… Went for dinner buffet… Had almost all of the choices in the menu and everything was really good from the Thai to the sushi options everything tasted good… A must try

We go through these strange cravings for AYCE sushi and last night we settled on Spoon and Fork. Having been there before, we knew to expect a consistent and average level of food and service.
Last night though, we were actually very impressed. The service was prompt and pleasant. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured into anything, unlike past visits and other AYCE sushi places.
The food was the freshest we’ve experienced so far. Food came out either hot and steaming or perfectly chilled. Notable items were the basil chicken fried rice and the hand rolls, both of which are my personal favourites.
The fried rice was piping hot and delicious. A tad greasier than I would have liked, but that may just be a preference thing. The hand rolls were so fresh that the seaweed was still crispy, the mark of a just made roll.
We will be back in the near future.

If you are coming for only sushi
I would not recommend this place at all… it tasted old and fish seemed to be precut/minced…the only reason for the 2 star was there crème burlee was OK. Easily in the bottom 5 of the sushi places I have been to

This is by far my boyfriend’s favorite AYCE place, it never seems to disappoint.
Since we go to a lot of AYCE japanese sushi places, consuming all that raw fish can get a tad boring. I love that Spoon & Fork is also a thai restaurant because they have so many amazing options.
My top favorite food items were:
— Mango salad
— Coconut shrimp
— Duck salad
— Coconut soup
— Chicken satay
— Beef short ribs
We typically go to the Queensway location, but we didn’t make any reservation and we decided to spontaneously eat here on a Sunday around 6pm. From our previous experience, the Queensway location is always packed and full, so we decided to come to the Oakville location. The restaurant was very nicely decorated with plenty of thai decorations (my fav… all the buddha’s).
Our server was great. She came frequently and ensured that all our items came in a timely manner.
We were originally going to go to Spoonful in Brampton ($ 32.99) but we knew that Spoon & Fork would be a great option that wouldn’t disappoint for $ 28.99!!!

The food is ok. The ordering process for all you can eat is ridiculous. Having to call the server over for every item for an all you can eat is not efficient. The dinner menu is $ 26.99 and dessert is not included. Very frustrating and expensive dinner experience that I would not recommend. Value is poor.

Came here for AYCE for a friend which is $ 28.99. Food did not disappoint. We got the
Edamame,
hot n sour soup,
lemongrass soup,
Shrimp pad Thai,
coconut shrimp,
fried calamari,
spicy California roll,
some beef strips and an assortment of calamari.
My favourite was the lemongrass soup, coconut shrimp and fried calamari that I ordered numerous times. The lemongrass soup was nice and tangy while the coconut shrimp actually tasted like candied shrimp and didn’t have just a small sprinkle of coconut flavour like other places. The calamari was delicious and the breeding was nice and crispy. Ambience is very nice and staff is very quick. We went in the evening around 8 – 9 on a Sunday however it wasn’t that busy. Bathrooms were really dirty when I went to wash my hands but it was the end of the night so not sure if that’s to be expected. I will definitely be going there again.

So after skimming through the reviews from here, I found that the trend is don’t go with a group of people, because apparently it’s a struggle for this location.
We were a party of 5, who dined a la carte. We each ordered our individual mains and appetizers. I had the vegetable gyoza and the vegetable pad thai which was actually pretty good. The rest of my co-​workers seemed to have enjoyed their food (fried wonton, tom yum soup, chicken pad thai and pineapple fried rice). So we were having a great time, until this waiter man who came out of no where reaking of smokes and asked if we were done eating and asked if he could wrap up my food. After that everything went downhill cause they made it obvious they wanted us OUT, for whatever reason.
Our reservation was at 7:30, didn’t get our food until 8:00 ish and literally got kicked out by 8:45…
It was a short lived experience, but common have some kind of decent service.

My boyfriend and I frequent this location quite often and I would give it a 4 star rating if it weren’t for my most recent experience in May. It’s great for small groups (2 – 4 people), but I’d refrain from visiting in large groups.
TLDR: Don’t advertise as AYCE if you’re going to purposely stop serving us food.
Pros:
— One of the better quality AYCE I’ve had
— Small portions so you actually have stomach room to taste various dishes (ie. they don’t load you up on carbs like a lot of the other AYCE places do when you order entrees– Might I suggest their Ching Mai Noodles?)
— Nice décor
Cons:
— No dessert included in AYCE
— Some menu items listed are not available. I’ve visited a few times and asked for the stuffed crab shell and tebayaki (grilled wing) and they never have it
— Poor service for large groups
We came as a group of 11 for AYCE for my boyfriend’s birthday so obviously we were ordering a lot of food. They give you a two hour dining limit, but after the first hour, the waitress stopped coming by and we would have to wave her over for water refills and ordering. To be fair, she seemed very apologetic. After the order was put in, we waited for 40 minutes before any sashimi or tataki would come out again and even then it was not the full order (other «cheaper» items like the carby dishes would come out very quickly). They also limit the amount of sashimi and tataki you can order at once so if the food doesn’t arrive, you don’t have time to order more either. Exactly at the two hour mark, the manager? came and told us we had to leave even though a lot of our food (sashimi/​tataki) ordered previously had yet to arrive. Many of our friends left not being fully satisfied.
Note: Apparently this has happened previously as well when my friends came in large groups so they were not surprised it happened again. I would also like to mention again that this never happened when I visited in smaller groups and I would probably still revisit.

Ambience was very good, the food was also very fresh! I’ve been to both this location and the location at Queensway, both have not disappointed. Reservation is recommended, especially during rush hour times. We went on a Saturday evening and there was a long line up! The only thing that was a little disappointing was our server’s attitude, wasn’t the greatest. Aside from that, great place, really liked it and will continue to go back!

Got to get rid of the sushi on the all-​you-​can-​eat menu. Somewhere in the history of Asian restaurants people felt that the only way you can get a popular Asian restaurant is if you also have sushi. The only problem? Having crappy sushi is no good! So… May I propose a novelty in the Asian food business? AYCE Thai and Japanese. The non-​sushi items on the menu are AWESOME. They’re so well done. So tasty. Expect nothing if you’re going to get the sushi. And restaurant, take note. Save the money on the raw fish order and just focus on what you’re good, and unique at.

A really odd restaurant /​buffet. This was definitely a restaurant that had confused me. While walking in, the restaurant looked quite nice in terms of décor, but there was something a bit off with the service, and this had nothing with the service being bad, it was something else.
It was the collision between what seemed high brow and looked like any other decent restaurant from the exterior, the execution of the food gave me mixed feelings. While the wait staff were absolutely marvelous in handling orders and making is feel taken care of, were more than enough hiccups that made me nervous outside of their enormous menu.
Literally, it was a free for all, in terms of guests putting in their orders. I could only imagine what their kitchen was like to be able to rush out each dish. I can’t see how they can sustainably deliver that many dishes with the buffet /​all you can eat concept intact.
I wish them luck and hope they can continue delivering great service and food combined with their buffet offerings for the foreseeable future.

This is my third time going there and like baseball three strikes your out. Let me explain this further. The food is good the sashimi is even great, but even if the food is great and the service lacks then you don’t want to go back.
So when I went the first time and was very disappointed with the service I figured everyone deserves a second chance so we returned a second time. The second time same thing food was good service was horrible.
I decided to give them one more chance since because we live in Oakville (by the way the Vaughn location is the best go there good food and good service) same thing good food horrible service and very negligent.
So this is the last time the ever see me there. One more thing the manager there is rude and has poor manners. How can a restaurant’s service be any good if the manger himself has poor customer service. I told him that our waiter left us without coming back for 12 mins yes I actually times it and he didn’t even say anything when I complained to him.
Bottoms line they lost me as a client is rather take a drive up to Vaughan

This used to be my favourite place to eat but now the service is at a snails pace and I find they push the bill on you before you are finished. I shouldn’t be going across the parking lot to Tim’s to pick up a donut and sandwich to feel full.
The last time I went they forgot about my friend and I TWICE, we never received our drinks from the get go (they weren’t on the bill either, so I think they were never marked down) and food would be luke warm by the time we go it (cold tempura is depressing). I gave up and accepted when they asked if I was ready for my bill.
Used to eat here a lot, but now I don’t think I’ll be coming back. Service has gotten worse and worse each time I go. Shame, food is still great.

I advised people not to go here for a night out for sushi. For 27.99 with no dessert or drinks, what a waste of time!!! I would’ve planned to go to any other restaurant knowing the cost to eat here. Any other restaurant would have had the same quality of food and service.
However, this place does a solid one star for a nice décor, having a patio and tap on their credit card machine. It has a good higher class feel, but below average selection.
On their menu, all the food that was ordered was average at best. However, 2 thumbs up in the the calamari which would be the best item of their selection.
To conclude, food was average at best while charging premium price. Maybe it’s the area, but for the veteran foodies, this does not sit well in our stomachs. Hope prices go down and I’ll think of getting the another chances in my good graces.
