| - This place has been a go to for my family because it's the only half-decent AYCE close by the house. It's quite expensive for dinner time and it's not very consistent with the food. Was here a few days ago taking my visiting relative there for dinner, and it seems they imposed a new rule for ordering Sashimi.
We tried ordering about 30-40 salmon sashimi with a variety of others, but our waiter said no you can't. They will only put 8/pieces of each fish on a platter and maximum you can order per person is 8 pieces. So if you want to order more, you have to finish your food first before ordering more. When our sashimi "bowl" came, there were only about 20 pieces, with 4 pieces/type of sashimi. We had to continuously call for our waiter to order more "bowls" because there wasn't enough for each person each round. They might have imposed this rule to not waste food, but it was such a hassle for our group of 8 people to having to re-order so many times. Even our waiter looked annoyed (mind you all of the servers at AYCE seem to hate their job) a constant (you-want-to-order-again-look on their faces) It's AYCE!
Warning: Credit Card fraud. My mother got her credit card skimmed here one time after eating. The server took her card to the "cash" and then came back to say it wasn't "working", and she had re-type her pin. Next statement we get, the card has been used in Chicago for gas, shopping, buying electronics. She only used the card once at Spoon & Fork.
TIP: Make sure you can see them, or ask for a machine and inspect the POS machine before paying. Or just pay cash.
Other than that, I recommend the beef tataki, fried coconut shrimps, beef shortribs, jumbo shrimp curry, the escargot is quite nice (drenched in butter) grilled chicken skewers, and the crab fried rice.
