Spoon and Fork Asia Cuisine — Restaurant in City of Auburn

Our first (and last) experience did not match the many positive reviews that are showing online for this place. The food we had was OK, especially as there isn’t much competition for this type of food around here. It’s not good enough for us to put up with everything else that made the meal unpleasant for us. The upfront seating, order taking, and serving the soup and salad were good, and seemed promising. It went downhill after the server, who is also the owner, hurriedly placed the entrees on the table after we had to move the soup and salad plates away to make room, and then she ran away without saying a word. None of this was a problem, as we were sympathetic to her plight, as the place was busy and she had a lot of people to serve, although we’d prefer a little less showing us her discomfort, and maybe a tiny smile or “enjoy your meal” instead. That wouldn't have taken any more time, and little effort on her part. The food was lukewarm, and we were going to ask if she could warm the food up, but that would have required one of us to get up from the table to find her. As it turns out, she NEVER returned to the table. Finally, we went up to the register to pay. The owner/server came over with the bill, and asked how everything was. We mentioned that we were a bit disappointed that she never returned to the table, so we couldn’t get more drinks, ask for the food to be warmed, get the bill, or anything else. We lost all sympathy when her response to our sharing our feedback with her was to mutter “OK” while turning her head away and ignoring us. Listen, don’t ask the question how everything was, and then disrespect your customer in such a rude and unprofessional manner if you don’t want to hear the answer. If we wanted to have more pleasant and attentive service, be able to get more drinks and warm up our food, and not wait for our bill, we would eat at home. While we’re on this rant, if anyone is actually reading this, one last thing we’d like to share with the owner is that the place is quite dumpy inside and out. What is actually gross is the absolutely filthy pair of fabric "curtains" in front of the entrance to the bathrooms. You can’t go in or of the bathrooms without having these curtains touching your skin or clothing. Overall, we’re just fed up with this type of business, esp. in the “hospitality” industry. We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulties in these hard times, costs are high, you can’t afford or find employees, etc., but please note that times are tough for us and we work VERY hard for our business and money too, and we treat our customers a lot better. Instead of the constant “support your local small business” mantra, how about asking what your local small business can do to justify that support in return. Just...

Best Asian food around. We ordered the Drunken noodles (with shrimp), Chicken curry and the seafood special. Everything was amazing.....update the first review is from two months ago. Went to spoon and fork again today 11-26-22. Today we ordered to the calamari appetizer. It was good the calamari was cooked perfect. We also got the crab Rangoon. Really good however be careful when it first comes out. The filling in them is extremely hot. For entrees we ordered the seafood ramen. General tso's chicken,California roll with a side of miso soup and fried rice, spicy crab roll with side of fried rice. Overall everything was good. All the food came out quickly and was fresh and tasty. They tend to have good consistency with food here....Went to spoon and fork again on 9-16-23 for dinner. Ordered the seafood ramen . It was delicious. My company I went with ordered the general tsos chicken also ordered a kids chicken and shrimp habachi. They thought the general.tsos was ok. They said it had a lot of dark meat chicken used. The kids hibachi was good.we also had...

WOW!!!!!!! I need to know why this incredible restaurant does not have lines out the door? People, get over there! TODAY! I do not have a share of this fine establishment but I sure wish I did. Let me begin. It is immaculate. I cannot stress this enough. Even the condiment bottles were clean. The prices are too good to be true. I hope that does not change. I have eaten in Thailand, San Francisco, and New York City. The Spoon And Fork in Auburn, NY is clearly better than all of them. This will be a regular weekly spot for me. My friend Danielle and I actually got sad that we were full because we wanted more. Every bit of the food and ingredients were fresh. Plating was beautiful. Chris, our host, was kind, concerned, and incredibly accomodating. So polite and sweet, he made us comfortable. I need to try everything on that menu and I am so excited to put myself in the hands of their Itamae to get some amazing sushi. Do not let this heaven on eartg become a statistic of the economy. Eat! Enjoy! ...
