| - So glad I came here for my birthday dinner this past Sunday! I went to their Vaughan location a few years ago and loved it, so when my grandma suggested going to a buffet/AYCE, I immediately thought of Spoon and Fork. The place was a lot emptier than I expected (around 1/3 full) which made me a little wary. Other than the high prices ($29.99 for weekend dinner, $19.99 for weekend lunch), I can't think of any reason why there weren't more people here! Overall, I'd give Spoon and Fork Plus a 9/10.
PROS:
+ food - They serve a variety of Japanese, Thai and Italian dishes, and everything we tried was really good! We particularly enjoyed the sushi and sashimi (which were quite fresh!), tempura, beef satay, lamb chop, beef tataki, salmon tataki and the green and red curries (my grandma is Thai and gave her approval!). They also have some dimsum dishes, fried rice and pasta that we didn't try.
+ serving size - Portions are quite small, so it's nice that you can sample lots of dishes and just order more of whatever you like. A very good thing for people like me whose eyes are wayyy bigger than their stomachs, but feel bad wasting all the food they took from the buffet line but ended up not liking!
+ service - Our server was so sweet! She offered to get us hot lemon water because she could tell that we didn't want to spend $3 each on tea lol, and after our meal she asked if wanted a plate of watermelon for dessert. Always quick to clear our plates and refill our water, and even though you could tell she was really busy, she was always smiling and friendly. The food came out quickly but not all at once...I guess that could be a con depending on what you prefer.
+ ambiance - This place is classy and hip. Look at the photos!
+ iPad ordering system - Really efficient and easy. There are also photos for every dish which is helpful!
CONS:
- no drinks or desserts - For $30+ a person, you'd expect dessert to be included...even if it's something simple like ice cream or fruit. But no. Sad face.
It's not the best food I've ever had and it's pricey, but I will definitely be back...probably for a weekday lunch when it's cheaper!
