I was surprised first at the amount of food that they give. I ordered a large soup for $7. Any other place it would have been double. My chicken fried rice was completely stuffed in the box. Same with Melanie T's dish which was Beef Chow Fun. Everything was amazing. Her dish was the best thing I've ever had at Troutdale Food Station. I will definitely have hers next time. They were friendly and accommodating with a smile. I highly recommend them.

Because I will be back. We started off strong with a table full of appetizers. It was one of those "everyone grab something" moments, and listen... I had been up since 6am, starving, and completely forgot to take pictures until it was basically too late. But trust me, that alone should tell you how good it was. Crab puffs? Gone. Creamy, crispy perfection. Fried spring rolls? Devoured without hesitation. But that salt and pepper shrimp?? LISTEN. It tasted like somebody's grandma was in the back cooking with love. I could've eaten that as my full meal 10 times over and still asked for more. Then came the angel wings... OMG. At this point I was already full, borderline mad about it, because I wanted to keep eating. And I'm not usually a leftovers person....but these? Plus that one last shrimp sitting there? Oh no... they came home with me. And the best part? EVERYONE loved their food. No misses at the table. If you're debating, don't. Just go. And go hungry.

I had never tried Costa Rican food before, so I went in with fairly low expectations. That changed with my very first bite. What looked like a simple plate of beans and rice turned out to be so much more. The food tasted like something made in a grandmother's kitchen, prepared with years of love, care, and tradition. The dishes are simple, fresh, and incredibly comforting, yet somehow addictive. You may find yourself eating well past the point of being full! Overall, dining here feels less like eating at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's home. The food is made from the heart, and it shows. If you haven't checked this place out yet, you absolutely should. I ordered the Gallo Pinto and smothered it in their delicious homemade green sauce, it was fantastic.

Will be back again and again for wonderful food and outstanding service! The-woman-who-lets-me-live-with-her (thanks Mike) and I hadn't been out to eat in a while. Since the pandemic, we order in more often. I was tired of cooking so I asked if she'd like to try the new Costa Rican place in town. We were there around 30 minutes before closing, prepared to do the polite thing and take our meal back home but we were urged by the owner to sit and enjoy ourselves. We ordered the ceviche because we are aficionados of the citrus-cooked fish and since this was actually going to be fish and not shrimp, we were excited to try. They do not poach the fish in advance (which speaks to the confidence they have in their method and ingredients) preferring to let the citrus "broth" do the trick. The result is amazingly tender fish in a oniony, herbaceous, lime juice cocktail. Since they don't pre-cook the fish, they don't have to make it seem like they've marinated it a long time, so the citrus is more subtle that most of us are used to. It was wonderful, served with chips and the three salsas mentioned in other reviews. I stuck to what appeared to be a habanero salsa, but there was a rich green salsa and a bright red one also. A little dab of habanero on top of a spoonful of fish and onion and tomato, poised atop a chip, is a wonderful thing to shovel, one after another, into your mouth! My lovely spouse had the Chifrijo, a bowl of white rice, beans, cubed pork, a generous knob of avocado, pico de gallo, and chips. Every element was wonderful, though we may ask if we can sub in tortillas for the chips next time, as a personal preference. Since this place is the reincarnation of the rotisserie chicken place that was once across the street, I knew that the chick would be delicious, and it was! Jorge (the owner), retrieved a chicken and went at it with the shears and brought a beautifully prepared, flavorful, thigh and leg because we asked for dark meat. With tortillas, its another assembly project. Escabeche, chicken, a dab of salsa in a warm tortilla? Outstanding! The beans were clearly in a big sack-o-beans in the very recent past, and cooked on site. You can taste the same kind of attention to detail in everything; homemade, perfectly executed, and delicious. Very happy to have a new spot to recommend and visit again and again!

There were some good food choices, but some bad ones too (including some listed on their on-line menu that wasn't available), and the service was the opposite of friendly. Fork and Spoon was listed as one of the best Filipino restaurants in the Portland area. I wanted to go some place where the food was made-to-order. After looking at their really colorful and put together website, saw that they had dishes like Humba and Champurrado, along with what looked like Chicken Inasal. We found free street parking right in front. I noticed the sign that stated no public bathroom was available. The inside was very quiet, with one couple quieting eating their food, and an older non-customer gentleman minding his own business. We were taken to a table near a window, and given a menu. It's a very simple one, and none of the dishes I was looking for were listed. I asked the hostess/server about it, and she just shrugged and basically told me she had no idea. Yeah... So I reset, and ordered the things that we always order at a Filipino restaurant. COMBO Meal ($23) - Consisting of Pork Adobo, Rice, Bihon style pancit, and shangahi lumpia. The steamed rice was excellent...sounds goofy to say, but have had so much bad white rice at restaurants lately. The pork adobo was good, using very fatty pieces of pork, but cooked to be very tender without being mushy, and the strong sauce was great over the rice. I liked the pancit, with the large vegetable pieces and it worked since it had been made-to-order. But the lumpia was bad: it had been deep fried from frozen, and the center was still cold. Plus, the meat had been ground too finely, causing the filling to be mealy. Pork BBQ Skewer ($17) - three skewers of pork barbeque. It was thinly sliced and expertly skewered, but that's where the goodness ended. The sauce wasn't good, just a very weak teriyaki type sauce. The meat had quite a bit of gristle (which is OK with me if it has flavor, but this did not). It had been cooked on a flattop grill so missed the charring of the meat over fire. It just tasted old, like it had been reheated Have no idea why this is $17...the price fooled me into thinking this would be a 'deluxe' version of this classic...should be closer to $7.50, especially since it was served as an app (no rice or sides). Halo-Halo ($9) - a shareable ice cream dish, topped with a scoop of really good ube ice cream and a shower of fruity pebbles. It came with a piece of leche flan and various sweet beans and jelly at the bottom. I really liked this. My only wish was that it was made with shaved ice instead of crushed ice, but I understand it can be too time consuming. It just felt like we came to a place on a day (or time) when everyone was just trying to get through the day. The prices were good (except for the BBQ), and the portions decent. But along with unfriendly service and the hit/miss taste, it's a place I wouldn't go out of my way for (even though I love the name and their website).
