Spoon And Fork Plus

Delicious ! This is the BEST Spoon and Fork I have been to in Toronto.
Fresh food, great service… a great dining experience !

We dined here for lunch and had the AYCE menu. The food was terrible. Most of the kitchen dishes came out lukewarm at best and some of it downright cold. The fried bean curd roll was so soggy and soaked in oil like it had been thrown in the fire before it even got hot. I asked two different servers 3 times before I could get some hot sauce. The final blow came when we were waiting for the server to bring the credit card machine we were looking around to find him when we saw the chef behind the sushi bar picking his nose for several minutes and flicking his boogers off his fingers all over the cutting board directly underneath him. He then proceeded to make a order without even washing his hands. We were so disgusted that we asked to speak to the manager to let him know what we had seen. To add insult to injury both of us had the runs after eating here. We will never return.

What a pleasant surprise this place was! We tried to go to a restaurant in the Shops at Don Mills area but it was lined up out the door so we drove around the corner and are so happy we came across Spoon & Fork Plus! I think we have now been 4 times since discovering it a month or two ago… recommend it to anyone looking for good quality AYCE! Great atmosphere and décor. Perfect place for a bite to eat if you are staying at the Westin Prince… it’s walkable and just across the street. Enjoy!

Spoon and Fork at the York Mills location is probably one of my favourite all you can eat places.
TIP: I usually go just before the dinner starts, less people and the servers cater to you more. Better service then dinner time and you pay for the lunch pricing with almost the same menu.

Service
We had superior service in the beginning. Our waiter was friendly, outgoing, great at talking and so easy to interact with. The tablet was nice and easy to use. It actually has one of the better layouts (probably thanks to the software) for ordering. Gosh, we were having such a good time until halfway through the restaurant became busy and all the waiters disappeared. It took us so long to get our bill, like 10 minutes? Dude, all you are doing are serving dishes (and that’s not even the waiter’s job). We asked someone who was serving to get us the bill and he quickly told us that he was not a waiter. Well you know, maybe you can ask someone to help us. I don’t know how the tipping system works but they lost so much here. When we finally waived a waiter to come, he nodded but there were so many tables before us who wanted to leave too. In the end, I’m assuming it was the manager who came over and took care of it. But shit… hire more people.
Food
Lots of variety, no doubt. Food quality is a little below average but the presentation is great (good job). Portions are TOO big for an AYCE restaurant. When we ordered butter chicken, we weren’t asking for a full size bowl of rice. And when we order fried rice, we aren’t asking for the dish to feed 3 people lols. I know that some buffet-​style restaurants are looking to fill you up but this is such a waste. Your restaurant offers so much variety, why don’t you be nice and let us taste a bite of each? Maybe it’s a great strategy to save money but dude, it turns people away. Dessert is extra — really? Are you really going to do this to your customers? Lol.
Recommendations:
— Escargot
— Skewers
— Seafood
— Most of the appetizers are okay (I like the crispy chicken)
Stay away from:
— Sushi
— Dim sum

In my mind, Spoon and Fork Plus floats towards the upper end spectrum of AYCE restaurants with a focus on nice décor, an upscaled atmosphere, and speedier service using iPads for your order.
We had a family holiday dinner here back in holidays of December and I really enjoyed the overall experience.
This particular location offers Japanese, Thai, and Italian. I think their wow factor item is the escargot that is smothered in garlic butter. At the very least, we enjoyed it by ordering at least 10 – 12 dishes of it over the course of the meal.
There was a lot of choice on their all-​you-​can-​taste menu from all three cuisine styles and browsing through the iPad made it really easy with the pictures of each menu item. My only one issue is with the tempura basket offering which comes with a variety of tempura vegetables and tempura shrimp but there is no option for just tempura shrimp. :-\
The food did come flying out of the kitchen and it made for room at the table a premium so my advice is to go with small orders of dishes at a time so you can smartly pace yourself.
I did enjoy the selection of sashimi on the menu and they also had some selections that had a bit of extra flourish like seasoning/​herbs.
Overall, I think the experience is worth the price of admission.

A buffet with Italian, Thai and Japanese, what a great place to eat? NOT!
The food was subpar, the best out of all the cuisine was Japanese. I made reservation for 7:30pm and was 15 mins late. The manager said «you should of called us ahead or we will give your spot away». I agree with that, however the restaurant was half empty.

3.5 stars.
Everything tasted pretty good, variety was average with a few items not available on most Jap AYCE menus such as escargot. But nothing really stood out and menu has no dessert section. For $ 29, you would expect to have desserts!
The dishes worth mentioning are
Skewers — really flavorful and juicy
Penne — yes they have pasta dishes and this one was yum
Handrolls
Escargot
Tatakis

Japanese, Thai and Italian? How exotic of a restaurant.
I came here last night with a group of 9 and everyone of us enjoyed our meal.
The food quality is excellent especially considering it’s an all you can taste restaurant.
It costed 28.99 per person on a weeknight, plus beverages, plus desserts, plus tax, 15% tips (automatically charged with groups of 8 or more)
If you’re interested, we paid 460 for a group of 9.
Ginger tea goes great with all you can taste dinners.
Even though I gave a 5 star review, I must admit they need to improve their dessert game.

im surprised i didnt go to this place sooner.
im very impressed… ambience and décor is very modern and nice. makes you feel like your eating at a very high class expensive place.
the food was very good for AYCE. very impressed. some unique items that you wont see at the other ayce places.
here are some pros and cons if your deciding whether to come.
pros
1. ambience and setting
2. unique menu (sushi, italian, thai, fillet mignon, lamb chop, crispy beef sweet beef)
3. not as loud (keep in mind i went on a weekday) (also theres more caucasians than asians. which plays affect in the level of noise whether you want to admit it or not.)
4. service will be more attentive (servers will know how to speak english at the very least)
cons
1. price — on the expensive side
2. no desserts (dont really understand why they dont add an item or two for dessert. it could be such a selling point for them and cost them nothing compared to some of their food items they serve)
overall, i give them a solid 4 and will likely return based on my past experience…

In terms of buffets, there are plenty that are superior. There was nothing astonishing to make me return. The selections were weak, and to add insult, dessert is not included in the price of the buffet.

Spoon & Fork is a solid AYCE sushi spot with lots of seating, good food, and a convenient location that’s close to the highway. I’ve been here many times for lunch and dinner and can say with confidence that each experience was the same — not great but not horrible either. However they do have some items on the menu which I love and keep me coming back.
The raw selection is pretty standard except you get sashimi for lunch, even octopus! The last time I was here the octopus was tender and delicious. Most AYCE places only do sushi so it’s an added bonus. Lastly, their maki rolls are not overflowing with rice, so you do get some good bang for your buck.
This location is unique in that they have Italian on the menu as well as Thai and Japanese (win!!!). I always get the escargot which comes with a buttery garlic sauce and a bit of cheese on top. Some other notable items to mention are the pineapple fried rice and the beef carpaccio (only available at dinner). I tried the mac & cheese last time and it was rich, creamy and cheesy, all the things a mac & cheese should be.
Parking can be found right outside. Service is good however it can be hard flagging someone down when it’s particularly busy such as during the lunch rush.
They charge $ 3 for tea, but you get your own teapot with 2 bags of green tea.

The manager was rude. I was with my whole family to celebrate my mom’s bday that night. When we got inside i asked for a table of ten including kids, while waiting one of the fixtures beside the entrance fell into my 3 yr old nephew. Instead of asking if the kid was ok the manager started yelling at us and he told us that we should pay for it. I told him that thing was flimsy and its not the kids fault but he kept on yelling at us. My nephew felt bad he thought it was all his fault. Thats when we decided to left and take our business somewhere else. I’ve been to spoon & fork vaughan same bad experience. Food’s great but customer service was sh@t.S&F york mills you should fire your manager, this guy doesnt know anything bout cx service. He does not represent the company’s core values.

Didn’t try their buffet but did find a great sushi deal for all you Unilocalers! Their pre-​made sushi sets in the fridge are 50% off after 5pm. Not sure if that’s a daily deal but it applied yesterday (Monday) when I was there.
Sushi was not bad! Great variety and quality for the value. Pretty good portion sizes too. My boyfriend got one set that had an 8-​piece rainbow roll + 4 piece sashimi + 3 pieces of sushi. I got a set with 6 pieces of assorted sushi and 8-​piece salmon and avocado roll. These sets cost between $ 10-​$ 15 before the discount.
Restaurant looked nice and their buffet menu looked interesting too. Might go back for the ayce now :)

Picked this place cuz it was the most crowded of all the non-​fast food places in that strip. You know what they say; if it’s crowded it must be good. It was clean, tidy and friendly.
Ordered the rainbow roll, karaage, sushi salmon, and on the advice of our waitress, the Mac n cheese over the steak and portobello ravioli.
The rainbow roll was tasty and appetizing. The sushi salmon was good although it lacked wasabi between the fish and rice.
The karaage was odd and not the usual karaage. It was a chicken breast coated in what looked like tempura batter, then deep fried and sliced into bite size pieces and drizzled w/​katsu sauce and red pepper dust. The texture was soft and mushy, but tasted ok. I probably wouldn’t order it again.
The Mac n cheese is more like a light Alfredo sauce w/​peas and ham mixed w/​rigatoni and baked w/​a dusting of bread crumbs. The ham appeared to be boiled ham since it was rubbery and spongy. Altogether though, it tasted fine. I might opt for the steak and mushroom ravioli if I ever come back though.

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!

Great variety of food selection for an plate order all you can eat joint. However, the service is lacking because of this style of eating. Be prepared to pay $ 30+ a person if you are going there with friends or planning a date :)
FYI — If you are planning to come with a table of more then 4+ then to the server’s eyes, you are a potential table of 12+ since you are constantly ordering throughout the time you are there so expect service to be a tad off.

Delicious AYCE Japanese, Thai and Italian! Wait a second, one of these does not look like the other. Italian food at an Asian restaurant? Well, it works and the Italian food was good! My twelve year old cousin stuffed the pasta down his throat as fast as he did the spring rolls and said it was delicious. He’s a picky little eater too. So, A+ Spoon and Fork! My cousin was full for a whole 10 minutes! No, but really, the place has good food.
The only thing I was sad about was the lack of Blue Fine Tuna sashimi and sushi. Apparently, this is normal in Toronto? I think I’ll stick to my DC sushi then. But from pasta, to lamb, to sashimi, to nigiri, to tataki, to spring rolls, it all good a yummy in my tummy rating from me. Just look at those pictures! Delicious!
Also, the whole iPad thing was so cool. I’ve never seen it before, so it was awesome. I totally ordered way too much. But we ate it all anyway!

Grab and Go Sashimi box ($ 10)
Fresh and delicious. Says 14 pieces on the box. It’s definitely more than that. More like 20+ pieces.
2 red tuna, 3 white tuna/​butter fish, 3 octopus, 3 red snapper, 6(?) salmon, 6 albacore tuna.
Lemon on the side is quite nice. Their soy sauce comes not in a pack, but in box with a lid, so you can dip a lot easier.
Would have taken a picture, but forgot cuz I was too busy chowing down.

This will be the first 5 star given to an AYCE restaurant.
$ 17.99 a person for lunch
Super friendly and very fast service — never once did I have to ask to order food but instead the lovely waitress was always around asking if we wanted to order more food. There was a lot of different kinds of food to try and I liked them all. Mango salad and watermelon salad were great starters. Also like the chicken and beef skewers with peanut sauce. I couldn’t believe there was AYCE sashimi for lunch + my favorite BBQ eel. By the time we reached the main course menu we were already so full.
All the dishes were small and this is the first time I would say getting small dishes is a benefit so that you can try more food. Although you can find better quality food out there, but for this price and AYCE it can’t be beat.
