The spicy chicken was AMAZING. If you like spice, get it! I wish I could go back and get another order. The sides were also very good, and the kimchi especially was spicy and also very fresh tasting. read more

The food was amazing. Price was fair. Service was exceptional. I will definitely be visiting again soon

Everything was really great! It was my first time here and I absolutely loved everything we ordered and the atmosphere

We had the SPICY FRIED CHICKEN and it was really good. E asked for the sauce on the side since we weren't sure how spicy it was going to be. The sauce was sweet and spicy and soooooo yummy! The chicken was a tad bit too crunchy but still delicious. We had the kimchi & cucumber salad since they offered 1/2 & 1/2 option! Also yummy! Our son had two pork tacos that he liked. The staff was nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. The place was busy and there was a line but nothing bad. They had good music playing. The ambiance was cool. Love plants, interesting booth-style seating with a bunch of regular tables too. It had a neat high top seating area inside as well. We sat at their outside dining in front of the restaurant but there was more outdoor seating in the back as well. read more

First of all I love their covid protocols and masking even inside now after people are vaccinated. Can never been too safe in food services. Food was so good Absolutely a must try. read more

Super affordable and tasty dinner out after a day of skiing in Bend. Their location is currently under construction, so it was an interesting time to get in, but we had a great meal. I tried several tacos and partner had the dan dan noodles. We had a few lovely Bend housewives at a cozy table next to us which negatively affected my experience, but the wait staff was super accommodating of us moving tables. I can't say I got the level of hype I've heard so much about, but it was a great meal! read more

Spork was so tasty! I love a good Asian fusion restaurant. We just happened on it at the right time, there was absolutely no line. The rest of the time we were in the restaurant there seemed to be more people in line than actually sitting at the tables eating, a good 45 minute wait. You order at the front then sit down, this probably accounts for the wait. The food is also reasonably priced. We had some yucca chips that came with a tasty sauce. For dinner I had a pork bowl that had warm rice noodles in it. The pork cooked in the bowl came two ways, my favorite being the "meatball" form, so good! It was a very filling meal and wasn't too heavy. I also sampled the peanut curry, such good flavors! Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal, it was a very good stop. read more

Not your typical restaurant. You do go up and order and they'll bring the food out to your table. If you can get past that, the food and wait was well worth it. Crazy good drinks, amazing food, clean, would def come back! read more

This it it. At last. The first Asian food in Bend (apart from Dang's) that is not absolute hot garbage. We had a number of dishes: Dan Dan (so nice to actually taste sichuan peppercorns but is undersalted), Thai steak salad (very good, should be served with sticky rice!), and Thai noodle salad with pork cakes (no feedback, this was the best dish!). Our kids had tacos which were a hit. I didn't get to taste the tinga or carnitas (kids ate them too fast!) but the tofu and shrimp were both fine even if both relied on chipotle seasoning for most of the flavor. The drinks do not live up to the food's standard --both our mixed drinks and house made sodas were uninspired. Service was friendly and efficient. This quickly became our new go-to in town. read more

For us, Spork was a miss. Of coarse waiting in a line for dinner for almost an hour tends to put a person in a certain frame of mind. As the Yelper in the family, I felt iffy recommending this spot once we saw the line, but given the great reviews, I was willing to roll the dice. I came here with a kid and an elderly grandpa who really needed to sit down, yet we stood in line for almost an hour because all the empty tables have signs requesting that patrons not sit until they have ordered, and on the night we were there, it would be almost an hour before we were able to do so. The Asian fusion fare was a-okay, but disappointingly not remarkable. My chicken dish, which was noted as their "most popular and delicious" was far more salty than savory and mushy, rather than crisp. What was remarkable was pricing, as entrees were fairly affordable ($12) to the size of the portion. They used lots of fresh vegetables, which was nice to see, but some of the sauces surrounded and overwhelmed rather than enhanced the freshness of those flavors. I'm normally a fan of SE Asian flavors, but excess salt and spice in their savory dishes caused them to fall short. What could be a mostly a-okay solid experience unravels with those lines (!) and the approach that customers must not sit until they order. With that requirement in mind, they probably want to consider the needs of patrons with the very young or very old, who simply can't patiently wait in a line for thirty minutes plus without taking a seat. They need to evaluate too, how they are managing these lines, because regardless of it being a very busy night, waiting almost an hour standing just to order your food and take a seat is not okay. read more

Two words: fusion confusion. We decided to come visit Spork for it's interesting fusion of Asian and Mexican cuisine. Not gonna lie, after reading all of the reviews on yelp and perusing through the menu, our mouths were watering and tummies rumbling. I am a sucker when it comes to Asian and Mexican foods so we decided to give this place a try when we were visiting Bend, Oregon. Upon entering the restaurant, we noticed really hipster looking decorations and furniture. Seating is abundant and available inside and out. The menu seems like it would change from time to time. has a variety of beer and non-alcoholic drinks including tea (fusion themed of course). You bus your own table and order at the front. We ordered: 1. Bacon and potato taco - was very sad to find that there was only 1 taco, even though it was advertised as tacos*. I could not find much of a fusion for this one other than taco being Mexican and cilantro and radish. but there's also cilantro in most Mexican dishes. Hence felt like this dish was sort of imbalanced in terms of fusion, it's just an American taco to me. Very basic in terms of quality. 2. Chilaquiles - quantity was more than the taco, although the majority of it was mainly tortilla chips and the cabbage/greens on top. Taste was A-OK, not mind blowing, sort of a less savory salad if you will. I did not like this at all. 3. Lomo Saltado? - not quite sure what the last dish was, but think it was the lomo saltado. My boyfriend wanted this one. I just remember it had steak, potatoes and an egg. This dish was decent, but I still could not make out the Asian and Mexican in this. Was purely a mixture of every cuisine. You know how when you cook at home and only have a couple of ingredients left, but you are too lazy to run to the store and make the actual dish, so you end up putting everything together. The meat was pretty well seasoned but a bit dry. Overall, not much quality and not much quantity. Expensive for what you get. read more

Sorry, I don't get it, or maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I admit, I'm not from the area either. The shakshuka was soupy, it was like tomato broth when I'm used to the sauce being thick and chunky. It was $10 + $4 for lamb sausage. If didn't get sausage, the portion would have been half a meal for me. It also came with a French bread roll, so overall, the filled me up but it was not worth $14 at all. My sister got tacos. At $3 each were smaller than usual taco truck size. They used the "street size" tortillas, which was probably around 4 inch diameter making it tiny when folded. They tasted fine but I've had much better, in fact, the taco stand at Crux was infinitely better. The meat here wasn't very seasoned or saucy. Chicken was shredded white meat without sauce and it depended on garnishes for seasoning. At $3 each, it not worth it. She was still hungry afterwards. I'm opening to returning and trying some of their other dishes but as of right now, I'm not sure why they are so popular. read more

While fun and nicely decorated, the music was a bit loud and the folks in line were right next to our table. The staff were all friendly. The green curry dish was quite spicy considering spiciness wasn't mentioned on the menu. Chopsticks and regular cutlery were available but, believe it or not, no sporks. The biggest drawback was the slow service. It look well over an hour to get our food on a Saturday, and the line wasn't even beyond the entrance. The food was good enough to warrant 3 stars, but overall I would recommend this place for takeout only. read more

Dear Spork: Thank you for existing. xoxo My summer fling in Bend, OR led to two thrilling visits to Spork in 4 fast days. I admit I was lured by the hype, the line, and the promise of Thai-Mexican (or is it Mexican-Thai ... or is it Mexican-Thai-World) flavors. I also admit that Spork exceeded expectations. After dinner the first night, I immediately came back to have Spork as my last meal before leaving town. The atmosphere is fast-food self-service meets hipster wanna-be, but the food... oh, the ... food ... is ... Sporktacular! * Carnitas Sando with Fried Egg (5 stars) * Mexican-style Corn (5 stars) * Crispy Rice and Watermelon Salad (4 stars) * Green Curry (4.5 stars) * Lomo Saltado with Fried Egg (4 stars) * Peanut Tomato Curry (5 stars) * Oaxacan Old-Fashioned Cocktail (5 stars) * Who Cares You're Going to Drink It Anyway IPA (4 stars) * Herbal Tea (3 stars) For me, the question isn't "to Spork or not to Spork," but how often ... because just going once to Spork would be highly illogical. read more

Food is good, not great. Sometimes just too over done, like for example, the carnitas sandwich. Butt ambiance and staff are great. My big problem is takeout. They should scrap It. Last time I did as told and ordered online because it was after 6:00. When I began placing the order wait time was 45 mins. Immediately after placing the order I received a text that wait time was now 90 mins. So I showed up a bit early and then watched several people walk in, place takeout orders and get them within minutes. So tonight I walked in and when asked if I needed to pick up an order responded that I wanted to place a takeout order. The eye roll said enough. I left. read more

I'm not going to lie, one of the main reasons we chose this restaurant for dinner was the sheer number of reviews it has in comparison to other restaurants in Bend. My stars are coming primarily from the carnitas sandwich. The bread was super crunchy and buttery, the flavors meld really well together, carnitas was cooked beautifully. 10/10 would order again. Posole was tasty, a bit spicy/peppery but appropriately so. It was good not great. Nothing really to write home about. It comes with a side of tortilla chips and sliced radishes. The carrot cake left a lot to be desired. It looked like it came out of a Bundt. The frosting was awful, so bad that we didn't eat any of it. And ultimately left about half of the slice on the table as it wasn't worth the calories. It should be noted that you were expected to bus your own table. It got really busy by the time we left. Presumably everybody in line was waiting for their own carnitas sandwich! read more

We've had lunch here two days in a row...and my husband and I each ordered the same dish each time! If I could give 10 stars I would. The food, the service and the atmosphere are all AMAZING!

We hit Spork after driving 7 hours from CA to Bend for lunch. We knew our VRBO wasn't ready yet, and decided this would be our first stop of many in Bend while we visited. Awesome food, cool vibe, could have sat forever on the deck in the back. We shared the Spicy Pork Noodles and the Spicy Chicken which were both awesome. I'd be hard pressed to choose my favorite between the two! Perfect welcome to the beginning of our weekend! read more

We were in town for a single night and Thai sounded good. We tried Spork based on Yelp reviews and the reviewers did not disappoint. We read about long waits in line. Fortunately, it was Tuesday and our wait to order was 5 minutes. We shared the following: - Spicy Chicken - Grilled Vegetable, Coconut Green Curry - Fried Cheese in a Tomato Sauce - Beer - Limeade My Limeade was great. The Spicy Chicken was very good. The Green Curry dish was "okay". The Fried Cheese was good. I'd come back here and I'd order the Spicy Chicken again and likely try the African Peanut Curry. read more

so many yummy food options- we had so much trouble deciding! the elote was fabulous, and we loved the spicy pork noodles! highly recommend!

The long line is always worth it at spork! On my most recent visit i opted for something a little more basic and got a chicken rice bowl knowing I had a half marathon the next morning.. and let me just say I've never been so impressed by a chicken rice bowl, while it was more basic than some of their other menu items it was still full of flavor, color, and texture! Would absolutely consider ordering it again even if I didn't have a race the next morning it was so delicious! I also love their curries and rotating specials! Definitely a must stop for me when I am in Bend read more

Delicious spicy chicken dish and tacos. Staff was friendly and helpful in servicing my takeout needs.

All around excellent dining experience. So much so, we came back the next day. The food was so flavorful. During our two visits we tried the spicy pork noodles (my husband got it both times), Dan Dan noodles, spicy fried cauliflower and Burmese fried cheese. It was all super delicious. I appreciate that they are not afraid of spice. If we are ever back in Bend, Spork is our go to restaurant for sure. read more

Right when we got there...there was a huge line out the door. We weren't sure we wanted to wait, but the person at the end of the line reassure us that the line goes pretty quick and the food is well worth the wait. They were right. It only look around 30 mins (not bad considering how long the line looked)...and the food was amazing. I had the Mexican Street Corn and the Lomo Saltado. Both were really simple dishes for the most part, but the seasoning and freshness is really what sets this food apart. Apart from food...quirky vibe was really cool and the price was excellent for the quality. Wish this place was in Portland...it'd shine here as well! read more

We came here for lunch with a party of eight. Mom and I split the spicy fried chicken which is basically spicy Korean fried chicken. It comes with rice, kimchi and cucumber salad. I also got a Mexican Coke to drink. We got here right before the big line started so thankfully we got our order in and got a big table for our party. Our food didn't take to long and service was very friendly. Our spicy chicken was pretty good. To be honest it reminded me more of orange chicken than Korean chicken, but it was still good. It was more sweet and spicy than just spicy. The cucumber salad and kimchi was very fresh and helped liven up the dish. My Dad got the green vegetable curry with pork belly and he absolutely loved it. I thought it was good too, although it was a little too spicy for my taste. I really enjoyed the rice here. It was sticky, but still separate. I know that sounds weird, but that's the only way I can describe it. Like it was kinda sticky, but still dry. Maybe it's the altitude, I don't know why it's like that. Anyways it was great for eating with chopsticks. It was a good meal before our hike. read more

Great fusion food restaurant it's self bus, seating is expansive yet they are still packed it's that good. Would definitely stop back by if in the area for the sando it was good even cold since we took it to go as a drive snack after our meal. The steak salad was a little weak on flavor all the sauce/dressing had settled on the bottom of the plate, but all in all a pleasant experience read more

This would be 5 stars all day but since I've been going here for years I'm so sick of dealing with the Millennial chip on their shoulder entitled staff it's a 3. So many times I'm like why am I going back, I can't stand these people but the tacos are so good I'm like fine I can deal with the staff for a few minutes. I thought this was a one off issue but it is almost every visit and even when I call in a order. Long story short get the carnitas tacos they're the bomb read more

Delicious and interesting food! After multiple trips to Bend, I always love the food. I make a point to stop here on my Bend trips because I haven't found anything in Portland like this. If Spork opened a location in Portland I'd be there all the time. Tacos are a go to dish here. They have bold flavors and they are never boring. Fried chicken is another go to. Yum! They also have drinking vinegars from Pok Pok and they're different and fun! read more

Not a bad spot for a casual dine, and it's pretty similar tasting to most fusion spots. Not too adventurous outside the Western palate. Had the "spicy" (mild) fried chicken with kimchi; chicken was crisp, maintained great moisture, and a nice fusion glaze (sweeter side)! Kimchi bit watered down, but can't really complain for a fusion place with lots of different focuses. Kind of pricy if you ask me, given the overall experience, but it did the job. Recommend? Maybe. read more

The line was quite long to order at the counter and I ended up drinking my whole cocktail while waiting instead of sitting. But the food was so worth the wait! We had a cauliflower appetizer that we devoured and I had the lomo saltado and hubby had a pork noodle dish. I had a oaxacan old fashioned (with mezcal) to drink and it was unique as was the rest of the cocktail menu. I can't remember what my kids got but everyone's food was great! I'll be back next time we go to Bend but I'll try to get there early and avoid the wait. read more
