Fork And Spoon Food House — Restaurant in Portland

Fork & Spoon catered my birthday party. We ordered several types of pancit, sisig, a couple veggie dishes, & rice - enough food for 40 people. The food was packaged in aluminum trays & zip-up insulated warming bags with handles - nice! I’m part Filipino & travel to the Philippines frequently, so I’m very familiar with Filipino food. The food was absolutely delicious & that was even after it traveled almost an hour to our party & sat in the warming bags for another 1/2 hour, then in the chafing dishes with warming fuel cans for another 2 hours. Our guests were delighted & I was very happy with the flavor, texture, & authentic taste of the food. Erwina, owner, took my order & was very gracious & also extra thoughtful in regards to allergies. I told her I have a soy sensitivity & she replaced the soy sauce with coconut aminos at no additional charge - wow, that was above & beyond! Thank you so much, Erwina, for the wonderful food I was able to share with my family & friends. Many of them had never eaten Filipino food before & it was a delicious introduction for them. Also, we have eaten at the restaurant several times & pick-up several times. We typically get the pancit bihon, sisig, bangus (fried milkfish), halo-halo, & rice (of course:)!). The restaurant is not pretentious. There are Philippine decorations & modest tables & chairs. It’s like going to eat in the Philippines which is one of the things I most like about it. The food has been consistently delicious! We’re thankful Fork & Spoon is here for us to enjoy a little bit of the Philippines & bring back & create many wonderful memories of sharing Filipino food - an important part of Filipino culture. Thank you, Erwina, for sharing your delicious food with...

Not happy with our first visit of this restaurant. We gave it a try because of the good reviews. But to our dismay, we didn't acknowledge right away though there's no other customers except an older couple who are already eating near the window. The sisig was okay, but the bottom part of the sunny side up was coated with black spots. The lady explained that the egg was cooked from the grill after the sisig. She said, it's the oil. Burnt oil? That means, they don't wipe down the grill before using it again for something else. It doesn't matter if they cooking 2 different kinds of ingredients for the same menu. Pancit canton was not flavorful. I just finished it up since I don't waste food. It's on a salty side. The minced chicken was bland. I was expecting the typical Filipino pancit canton taste. Lastly, the halo-halo - 75% shaved ice. For $7? There's 1 small scoop of ube ice cream & small piece of leche flan on top, with small bits & pieces of red gulaman and kaong. I can't say that it's bad, but it's not delicious either. Overall, we're disappointed. That will be our first and last visit to that Filipino restaurant. Wish there were at least one pinoy/pinay working at...

The first time we tried this place out was during their street food event and my mother in law paid over $200 worth of food that were enough for 3 people to eat and there was 6 of us. I went back hoping that the street food event was just something they weren't prepared for. I ordered karekare during lunch time and some bbq. The food was ok, but I was more disappointed that the karekare we ordered was not even half the to go container it was in and that dish alone was $20, not to mention, they provided rice, not even enough for one person. We spent a total of $85ish and was given enough food for literally 2 people. I wanted to love this place because its local and it's nice to be able to dine somewhere outside the home cooked meals, but the prices are insane for the portion you get. The people the work there are super friendly and great, the place itself gives that traditional filipino vibe, but the price and the portions ain't...
