Spork is special! I will get to the food but first let me tell you about the concept, which is pretty unique. They don't take reservations, which usually annoys me but here it works. When you get there you get in line, but this is no Chipotle (no shade on Chipotle). While you are in line, one of the staff will ask you what you want to drink and will bring it to you so this makes the line much more bearable - and we enjoyed the unique cocktails. Also, while you're on line you can people-watch, take in the cool decor, and decide from the enticing menu. Also, while you're on line, one of the staff will find out how many are in your party so they can start strategizing about where to seat you so you don't have to worry about scrambling for a table. When you get to the front, you order, and they give you a number and they seat you. The line can be long, but it moves, and as I mentioned, you may have a cocktail in your hand to help you get through it. Now to the food. It's a fusion of Asian and Mexican food, very unique offerings. The trouble will be deciding what to have so I recommend sharing if you're there with somebody else so you can try a lot of things. We had the peanut tomato curry with chicken, the spicy fried chicken, the side salad, and the pièce de résistance, which was the carnitas sandwich. You can have this for dessert, it's so rich and delicious. Everything was good and the curry was also a standout. We really enjoyed Spork! read more

Visiting Bend Oregon for the weekend brought us to Spork! This place has delicious food loaded with amazing flavors. Everything we had was absolutely delicious!! I had the Dan Dan noodles and once I started eating them I couldn't stop they were so good! When you get there get in line and they will come get your drink order and give you a menu, then you get to the register and place your order and they will take you to a table. The service was spot on and attentive but not over done. There is also a great drink, beer and mocktail menu that has tasty beverages! Very family friendly with a great kids menu and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Awesome little booths and great places to have conversation. We very much enjoyed Spork! read more

Great vibes, family friendly, and delicious food. I love the genuinely new combinations of flavors. Not everyone can fuse together Asian and Mexican cuisine but Spork can and does it so well! We've tried nearly everything on the menu but favorites are the green curry, elote, and Korean fried chicken. A must visit in Bend! read more

Amazing spot in Bend with outdoor seating on both the front and backside of the restaurant. Interesting concept of fusion, but would absolutely recommend. read more

While I have been finding it hard to eat at Asian fusion with my new allergies but was delighted to be able to experience some of sporks menu. We had a few beers, curries, and steak salads yesterday for lunch and enjoyed them on their patio outside. While there wasn't much room to manoeuvre sesame or soy out of many dishes, I was able to enjoy the elote and the steak salad. Lauren and Kylie had the green curry with tofu and Yannick & Jacki made their own mods on the Thai steak salad as well. While we'd been very hangry coming into the situation, I can confidently say we all left smiling and very pleased. Definitely suggest popping in here for their unique menu, many specials, and great service. read more

Really good asian fusion. I ordered the dan dan noodles. The dish was flavorful without being too spicy, and there was an ample amount of pork/green onions/peanuts/chili oil in each bite once mixed. I have thought about these noodles a couple times since then. Super yummy. Restaurant was packed during dinner time, but we got a booth after waiting in line around 15-20 minutes. Service was fast. The pandan flan was fun to try, it has a subtly sweet pandan flavor. A good dessert to split with a few people at the table. The overall ambiance was clean, lively, and well decorated. Lots of parking in the lot attached. read more

This place is such a gem! Delicious and amazing take on Asian fusion! We got the *beef and broccoli* and the broccoli had a great charcoal burn on it. And the *dan dan noodles* with subtle but present Szechuan flavor that was cooled down with the *Pandan collins*. Portions are good, one dish is just the right amount per person read more

pretty good asian fusion spot. they have so many different types of asian foods, from chinese dan dan noodles, to korean fried chicken, to vietnamese like dishes. i think the experimental quality of the food warrants my four star rating. for instance, the lomo saltado had crisp potato sticks on top with roasted poatoes underneath in lieu of the traditional french fries. the dan dan noodles were good, kinda spicy and not as creamy as the traditional ones i've had back in the san gabriel valley in california. i would say - they're doing their own thing here as it's fusion, give it a fair try but understand that it's fusion. the vibe is very hipster here. feels like you're in los angeles silver lake but nah you're in a random little town in the middle of oregon lol. the pandan flan was good, but lacking in pandan flavor and wasn't even too green. i think it was too toned down and the vietnamese in me feels sad about that. :( read more

The chicken here was phenomenal. All of the flavors in the Spicy Fried Chicken dish worked so well together. When we got here the line was long but it moved relatively quickly. No issue with taste or service. No issue with seating as there were plenty of spots to sit outside or inside. My issue is bang for your buck. I found that the portions were on the smaller side and the cost was on the high side. Wish either the portions were larger or the cost lower read more

We visited spoke when we were in Bend, Oregon over the weekend and we're really glad we did. My wife had the tofu tacos and they looked absolutely delicious. I went with the tomato curry, and it was really good, and very filling. I ended up eating half and taking half with me. The grilled vegetables were definitely my favorite! They tasted so fresh, well grilled, and full of flavor, despite having no seasoning or anything like that. We were munching on grilled vegetables for a little while, wondering how they were just so good. The staff was very polite, knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. They definitely make everyone feel welcome. We're definitely coming back if we're in Bend again in the near future. read more

Fast counter order that asks for tip ahead of time. Vibe ~ tight seating, a few booths. Sort of like a food truck food with indoor seating. Casual and loud during dinner. Food ~ tasty, spicy, portions similar to medium sized tapas. A little pricey overall but would dine here again. read more

This place was super cute inside. Clean establishment and cool decor. Outdoor seating is nice but it is right next to the semi busy parking lot. The food I ordered was great. I could've used a few less bay leaves in the curry/removed before serving, but overall it hit the spot. Excited to try other menu items. read more

This place is so popular! Which is why I went even though I was pretty sure they only have spicy food- I hoped maybe something could be prepared mild or maybe I was misinterpreting. I just kept hearing they are great for gluten-free options! We went at 12:15 on a Tuesday and the line was long! I like how the organize seating though. I really didn't think we'd get to sit but the staff works it out while you wait to order. At the cashier I asked if anything on the menu isn't spicy and he told me no, the whole menu is spicy. Wow. He said my only option was fried chicken with the sauce on the side. It was certainly an impressive gluten-free fried chicken but very plain without the sauce. I quickly dabbed the chicken on the sauce for each bite and even then my mouth and lips were ablaze. Oh well. If you don't like spicy and you're reading this, I just saved you some money! read more

Spork - Fried chicken with sauce on the side and cucumber salad - Mexican Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Spork is open til about 9 I believe which makes it great for late eats. Atmosphere is decent - music, cool buzz - clean and well put together. Clear on where to go to order and pickup. The dude who took my order was SUPER helpful - since I had not eaten here before, I didn't know what was good. He provided recommendations based on his likes, popularity and portion size. We got ... forgot the name but it was a beef and broccoli with veggies - super good. And chilaquiles - holiday style (red a green sauce). Both were flavorful and hearty - very filling. Price was decent - I think it was less than $40 for both meals which, today, is great for two entrees. It was quick to come out - since it was take out and close to closing I waited in their seating area and they had water available for me - love that. We will be back to try other foods the next time we are in Bend! Well done, Spork, well done. read more

Spork - Korean barbecue pork - Mexican Near Me - Bend, Oregon

On most of our visits to Bend we're usually on the hunt for new places or out-of-our-comfort zone menus, but somehow we always end up here for a meal. They just do everything up so well and the flavors are always unique, year after year. Came for happy hour this last time, and ordered up the wonderfully flavorful Mala Cauliflower app, which had a nice spicy kick, but alas, it was a hard pass on the garlic and chives cakes, which were flavorless and dense...and small. Our tacos though -- chicken tinga, carnitas and tofu -- hit the mark all around, and the service here is always tops -- they even bus your table. The vibe here is always super chill, and sophisticated, yet still laid back. I should take a star off for the Garlic cakes on this trip, but I've had so many good meals here over the years I'm thinking the occasional misstep shouldn't be dinged. read more

While visiting Bend, we were on a quest to find a location for family dinner and we ended up at Spork. You walk up to place your food order (menu items are plentiful and they all sound like they would be delicious) and then go find a table. Staff members bring your food to the table, then take care of you from that point. It was quite busy, but we were informed it is usually that way at Spork. Once we got our food and started to dig in, we quickly realized why Spork is so popular - the food is amazing!!! The next time we come to visit Bend, Spork will be on our list for a family dinner outing. read more

I came here on a Wednesday night around 8. It was actually pretty busy which was a little surprising since they were gonna be closing in an hour. You have to place your order at the counter and then they'll bring it out to you. Since I was done alone, it was kind of weird because there was no bar seating. I did opt to sit inside. I got the shrimp and pork belly, yellow curry and also the jardin de Puebla drink. My drink was OK, but I would've liked a little bit more tequila. Haha that's what she said. The shrimp and pork belly yellow curry was amazing. It was flavorful and delicious. I couldn't finish my whole meal so I ended up taking leftovers back with me to my Airbnb. They have containers near the water and silverware station inside. I'm not necessarily a fan of the set up here because I'm not sure how you can get more drinks once you're sitting down. It wasn't really a problem with me since I was dining alone. I just kind of think that having servers would make more sense in this restaurant. read more

My Spicy Fried Chicken was delicious. The chicken was high-quality white meat, not gutty or fatty at all. It was served with a generous portion of cucumber salad. You can choose kimchee or cucumber salad as a side. The chicken had been tossed in the sauce but other than that, there was no sauce present. I asked the lady bringing food to tables if I could have more sauce. She cheerfully and promptly brought me a generous portion of sauce. This was an excellent experience. My partner ordered Chilaquiles. There's a choice of red or green sauce. The green sauce was flavorful. The dish was nice and juicy, with a generous amount of toppings. We ordered Mexican Coke (desirable because made with cane sugar instead of the usual corn syrup) and their homemade almond soda. The almond soda was pleasant but it didn't go well with our food. The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the dessert we ordered, the Tres Leches Cake. Being from Miami, I've had Tres Leches Cake dozens of times and I've made it myself at home. Tres Leches translates as 3 Milks. The cake derives its name from the fact it is soaked in a sauce made from 3 different kinds of milk: evaporated, condensed, and cream or whole milk. This cake was bone dry! Do not call a cake a 3 Milk Cake when that is not what it is. I feel ripped off. Furthermore, the cake just was not good. It was flavorless and dry. All employees we encountered were super courteous. I love their self-service chilled water station. The bathroom and dining room were very clean. read more

Great food and generous portions! I had the Dan Dan noodles, which were spicy and greasy and just delicious. The kimchi was just ok though, would pass next time since it was a little watery and not fermented long enough for $6. Family members had the nachos (yummm!! highly recommend), the yellow curry (very good, lots of veg), and broccoli beef (not super saucy but beef was nice and charred, also very good). Old fashioned was good according to family, and the mint apple lemonade was bright and not too sweet. Inside was cute, outside tables were ok. Staff were friendly. Would definitely come back! read more

If yelp allowed 6 stars I would do 7. This was an amazing place. The tables were clean and it smelled wonderful throughout the restaurant. We came back twice on our 3 day stay in Bend! I got the Spicy Pork Noodles, so flavorful and that spice was perfection! The Pork was well breaded and seasoned so well, noodles were soft and tasted so fresh. Try any of the tacos they had a blast of flavor the hot cold combo was so amazing, shrimp and fried cheese was 10/10 read more

Based on all the other yelp reviews I had high hopes, but it's pretty hit or miss depending on what you order. Ordered: lomo saltado 2/5 - way too tangy and steak to potato ratio is like 1-3. Way too much potatoes and not enough meat. Spicy pork noodles 4/5 - great flavors/textures with the peanuts and fried shallots. There was also a good amount of ground pork patties. I liked how they gave you the sauce on the side so you can dip your noodles or just pour it on. spicy fried chicken 3/5 - great flavor and good crunch - but a bit too dry. Other notes: When you come here you order first and then find a table (inside/outside). There's a parking lot in the back and a good enough amount of parking on the street. They also have plenty of outdoor seating if you want to bring your dog. read more

Spork has a fun, funky vibe with a rotating, eclectic menu. It's definitely not your average spot and that's part of its charm. You order at the counter when you arrive, and they assign you a table. There's self-serve water, utensils, and to-go containers, which is super convenient especially since the portions are bigger than they look online. We had plenty of leftovers! For a party of 2, here's what we tried: Fried Shrimp & Fried Cheese Tacos: it came with salsa, lime, and radish. Not your traditional taco by any means, more of a fusion twist. It was just okay for us, nothing too memorable. Dan Dan Noodles: These had a great Szechuan tingle without being overwhelmingly spicy. It had rice noodles, ground beef and peanuts which gave it a nice balance of texture and flavor. Crispy Rice & Strawberry Salad: Super refreshing! The strawberries and mint were perfect for a warm day, and the bean sprouts and crispy rice added great crunch. It came pre-dressed with a nice tangy flavor and a lime wedge to brighten it up even more. Lomo Saltado: This one threw us off a bit. The flavor of the steak was spot on, but the dish was much soupier than expected, and the potatoes were mixed in with the sauce rather than served as French fries on the side. Still tasty, but definitely different from the traditional version. Came with a side of rice and a dollop of cream. Pandan Flan: this was the star of the show! The flan was denser than a typical Mexican or Filipino flan, it was almost like a pandan cheesecake. Unique and satisfying and the blackberries were a great touch. Overall, Spork is a great spot if you're in the mood for some fusion or globally inspired cuisines. Not every dish hit it out of the park for us, but the ones that did were outstanding and we appreciated the creativity and bold flavors. Would come back to try more of their rotating dishes! read more

When my daughter moved from Long Beach, CA to Bend, OR, I thought she had left any worthwhile foodie scene behind. I was COMPLETELY wrong. She took me to this new restaurant named Spork when I went to visit her in 2013, telling me that the food was healthy and tasty. From my first visit on, I was completely hooked. This restaurant is one of two food places in Bend that I have to visit every trip I make up there to visit my girl. In fact, Spork seems to appear on every site listing the best restaurants in Bend. Last night, we went again as my "Last Hurrah" before returning to Long Beach. As usual, the vibe was trendy and cool--laid back and relaxing. The employees seemed happy and upbeat, even though the stream of customers was pretty constant while we were eating. We like eating at the bar, so we were able to talk to Jeff, the owner, for a bit while we enjoyed our craft cocktails and unique menu selections. I had Jeff's specialized rendition of broccoli and beef and my daughter enjoyed her cubano sando. As always, I left feeling content but a little sad that my visit was about to end. It was the perfect ending to a fantastic visit. I can't wait to go back this summer to try any new dishes and cocktails the menu will have to offer. read more

Entering the restaurant I was greeted with wonderful aromas of Asian food. However I thought the broccoli beef was too busy. The short ribs w fried egg was fine. But the cucumber kimchi was amazing. Their drink, Maui z was ok, sweet and kinda grew on me. It does not taste the way it looks, But it was Better than the margarita, which like a ZAPP of tequila, STRONG. If you want to get drunk order the margarita. 6/10 for me. read more

Spork is a cute trendy place with a well styled interior and fast service. After walking up to order and filling some glasses of water on our way to the booth we were assigned, we were met with the delivery of our ordered drink...and then it sets in..this place is called spork, but they do not have sporks, disappointing. The giant fortune cookie was a fun novelty we got for our kiddo. For my meal I ordered the carnitas sando. I soon realized that none of their main items actually came with a side, you'd have to order sides separately if you wanted anything. The sandwhich itself was alright, but nothing I would care to have again. It contains Yuca chips, which didn't seem to do much for me but add an occasional awkward crunch for no reason. This is a fusion restaurant in more aspects than the culinary choices. You order in the style of fast food from a menu structured like a high end restaurant. You are served quickly but any service needed beyond that appears to be an inconvenience to the employees. The plates also don't make sense to me as they were only slightly bigger than the item ordered, so with something similar to what I ordered, it can get a bit messy as your sandwhich falls apart and not everything falls on the smaller plate. In my opinion, the best thing about the place was the booth setups read more

When I say that this was hands-down, the best meal that we had while visiting Bend, I say it with my whole chest. My husband and I came to Spork on a Friday afternoon for a late lunch, or early dinner, depending on how you look at it. We walked over from our hotel and managed to make the tail end of happy hour. They had a nice mix of food and drink options on the happy hour menu. We went wild with our order and ended up getting way too much food, but absolutely did not regret it. We decided to try the Dan Dan noodles, cucumber salad, Korean barbecue wonton nachos, blistered shishito peppers, and a fried cheese taco. I ordered a mocktail while my husband ordered a beer. We appreciated that the food was brought out in waves and not all at once. The shishito peppers were absolutely delicious as was the accompanying aïoli sauce. The Korean barbecue wonton nachos had amazing flavor while still somehow managing to be light. The cucumber salad was out of this world and I would kill to have the recipe. The fried cheese taco was probably the least favorite item we ordered, when compared to the others, but still five stars so that's saying a lot. But the Dan Dan noodles. Oh the Dan Dan noodles. Out of this world! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the food at Spork so much that we honestly considered coming back for another meal during our short weekend visit to Bend. We did not, but rest assured, Spork will be our first stop the next time we are in town. read more

We had two vegan dishes and they were both SO tasty. Great atmosphere and even though it's super busy they get to you fast.

This place was recommended to us from our Air BB guestbook and it did not disappoint . Don't let the long line discourage you---moves quickly and the food is worth the wait . You wait in line to place your order and a server comes around to take your drink order and gives you a tag so that you can sip, chat and wait in line! Try a craft drink ---they have some yummy zero alcohol options! It can be a little noisy, but they have a nice patio out back. I opted for the spicy fried chicken bowl because I saw what someone was eating and asked ! It was delish! Only reason not 5 stars is that the service was a tad bumpy....only got 1/2 drink order ----the servers were changing around and had no idea about how things worked ----had figure things out on our own. read more
