    Brunch menu
    Amber B.

    Great place for a quick brunch! The sriracha bacon was amazing! Overall. The place is clean, service is friendly but will say the pricing was a bit much. I get it though because it's San Francisco! Definitely worth stopping if you need a quick meal and aren't sure what to get. There are tons of safe menu options here.

    I saw that Spork had recently reopened their restaurant after over a year of being closed. I never got to try their previous menu items but their newer are pretty good. They're known for being an Asian-fusion breakfast/brunch place. We ordered: Food: Bo Luc Lac - 10/10 - Wok styled tenderloin and onions with garlic toast and a sunny side up egg for the toast. Probably one of the most flavorful items. If you love wok styled cooking, this would be a go-to! Florentine Benedict - 8/10 - Classic florentine benedict, so nothing special but it was still good with the spinach, hollandaise sauce. The house salad on this and Bo Luc Lac were really good! Fried Chicken and Waffles - 7/10 - This is a unique twist on the classic chicken and waffles. Instead of smaller breast pieces, we're given a whole fried drum and thigh, bone in. Their waffle is also a pandan waffle! Both waffles and chicken were good by themselves. Banana French Toast - 10/10 - Wanted to try one of their sweeter classic items for brunch. French toast does not disappoint. The toast and syrup had a slight banana flavor to it. Not sure if that was because of caramelized banana slice or not but it was really good! Definitely would get this again for the toast alone. Drink: Iced Butterfly Lychee Fizz Orange Mimosa Lychee Mimosa Thai Milk Tea I do love the cute sign they have when you walk in with the Spork logo. Great for taking pictures. Spork is located right around the corner of Chinatown so if you plan on driving here, I recommend parking at the Chinatown Parking Garage and walking 3 minutes. Cheapest garage there is and super close and convenient.

    I was pretty impressed when I got take-out here early on in the pandemic. It took way too long for me to come back and try the food again. I ordered the tom yum noodle soup but with crispy chicken this time. I definitely prefer the shrimp so that's a lessons learned for me. The food was good though. I was tempted to try their chicken and waffles. Looks like they use pandan. Thankfully I got to take a bite out of my wife's plate.

    Was glad to have tried this spot out after their grand reopening! Some of the standouts--banana french toast (with caramelized banana) Chicken and waffles (so juicy and the waffle was so fluffy) and their Butterfly lychee fizz was so refreshing!

    Chicken salad, French toast,

    Solid experience here, food is beautifully plated and tasted delicious. I went for breakfast on a Sunday and it was fairly empty a few tables seated. I got the chicken salad and loved it. Didn't stand out to me or blow me away but a great breakfast nonetheless. Came at a decent speed and left feeling full but not stuffed. The ambiance could be better. Pretty plain interior, vibes and had a cleaning smell when I first walked in but overall would come again.

    Cute vietnamese fusion brunch restaurant in the middle of chinatown! It's a very spacious spot with with plenty of tables. Ordered the fried chicken and pandan waffles and the shrimp and eggs benedict. The benedict was good and was the first time I've seen shrimp on an eggs benedict but the potatoes were really good. The fried chicken was perfect, it was fried so that the skin was super thin and light and crunchy and the meat was really juicy. You could taste the pandan in the waffle which is pretty rare in a lot of places that have pandan or ube flavored things. The waffle was also nice and chewy!! I would get this again for sure. Overall, a very unexpected restaurant which should get more business!! Highly recommend the chicken and waffles (also saw some tables get the dalgona iced coffee which looked really good too)

    After our brunch plans fell through because the place we made a res at was now permanently closed, I searched for something nearby and this place came up! So glad it did too cause what a nice little gem! I didn't get to try everything pictured but will share what the others said. Here, your eyes definitely eat first haha. Crispy veggies rolls: These are eggrolls filled with noodles, taro, mushroom, and veggies. Great app option for vegetarians. Comes with a homemade sweet and sour dipping sauce. Crispy chicken fried rice: My dish! I thought I was getting a breakfast dish but saw this and had to try. Overall, I did like it but I thought the chicken could use less batter. I want to taste more of the chicken and not the crispy bits. The fried rice was surprisingly flavorful though. Such a filling dish though! Mimosa: There was more juice than brut but it was only $8! Fried chicken & pandan waffle: Heard it was tasty! My husband really enjoyed this dish. Latte: Not mine but heard it was good! Also came in a fairly large cup. Thai tea french toast: Heard it was delicious and not overly sweet. Comes with fresh fruit and a thai tea sauce. Pancakes: Heard they were good and there's also fresh fruit on the side. Overall, I'm definitely coming back! Would love to try more breakfast items and some of the Thai food as well.

    WOW. This place deserves 5 stars and then some. My friend and I decided last minute to meet in the city after we saw that it would be 100+ degrees where we originally had planned to meet. So we did a quick search of restaurants and saw Spork easily at the top of SF brunch spots on Yelp. Now, I have my suspicions when yelping in the city cause there are some overhyped reviews. But then, the Thai Tea French Toast caught my eye and while my past self was trying to break free from another possible regrettable choice, I was already persuading my companion to join me here for Saturday brunch. With her OK, I nervously saw if any reservations are available. To my surprise, ALL times were open. This was a sign, I said to myself, that it's a trap. But I had already confirmed plans with the friend and decided to take the chance. But boy, it is only all good news from here on: we walked into a cozy space with only a couple tables seated, greeted by a friendly staff, easy ordering, fast and stellar service, AMAZING Thai Tea French Toast (yumyum), and despite how busy it got, no pressure to "kick us out" until we noticed and left. I also recommend the Vietnamese Dalgona Coffee - it actually tastes like coffee, unlike some Dalgona stuff out there which to me, tastes like sweet milk.

    Spork Restaurant was a great find on the edge of SF Chinatown and across from China Live on upper Broadway. I was a bit skeptical at first as I was thinking it was one of those Hong Kong-style breakfast spot with the basic: eggs, toast, sausage, bacon that would make me want to hit the snooze button. This place really is a hidden gem amongst the dim sum places and Chinese shops. Spork offers a simple menu of Asian-fusion breakfast with options of fried chicken, shrimp, shaken beef, noodles and mimosas. Definitely something I can get excited about. Fried Chicken with Pandan Waffles I made sure to tell my friend not to expect Southern-fried chicken and more Asian-style with a light coating and crispy. He wasn't sure what pandan should taste like but found the waffle lightly sweet and really enjoyed this dish. Accompanied with a mustard, sweet chili, and syrup. - 4/5 Shrimp Benedict Lots of shrimp, with a light curry hollandaise sauce accompanied with some, crispy potatoes. She thought the sauce was good and everything was yummy 4/5 Bo Luc Lac - Shaken Beef Tender, cubed beef sauteed with soy sauce, onions, garlic and sugar (though a bit sweet for me) that was topped with an over-easy egg, 2 garlic, parmesan baguette slices, side salad with those crispy potatoes...nothing added other than salt which was a nice accompaniment to the dish *** 4 - 4.5 stars *** for this first visit. Food was delicious and service friendly, attentive and welcoming. Pricing reasonable (average: $16/dish) and would visit again when in the area. Note: Place seems to attract a lot of tourists as it looks like they're staying at the Royal Pacific Motor Inn nearby. :| Limited street parking but inexpensive parking about 3-4 blocks away at St Mary's Square Garage. $6 all day on the weekends! Shhhh... ;)

    I woke up late today, and was craving a hearty breakfast or brunch. I was worried that we would have to brave long lines, and given how tired we were, I wasn't looking forward to it. Lo and behold, I found Spork through Yelp, and was able to snag a reservation an hour later. It definitely lives up to all of the reviews before mine, and all the dishes we ordered hit the spot. I really enjoyed the presentation as well -- the hibiscus flowers are a nice touch visually. The Thai Tea French Toast was my favorite. I've never had French toast like this before. My friends had the eggs Benedict which looked delicious. I recommend coming here for a fuss free weekend brunch.

    Is this one of SF's best kept secrets for a brunch spot or what?! Located in Chinatown, this Asian fusion restaurant has a colorful menu filled with dishes that emulate East-West delicacies with a twist - for example, French toast topped with a Thai tea flavored syrup, or a pandan waffle (a light vanilla flavor with a hint of coconut). If fusion eats don't tickle your taste buds, they also have standard Thai dishes that can satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. The service here is really great (our waiter remembered us after a single visit!) and do a good job of checking in, refilling water, and taking away empty dishes without intruding on the meal. I sometimes shy away from brunch locations because the food feels too heavy and the vibe of certain places can feel too formal or even pretentious. You won't get that at Spork! The decor of the restaurant is charming without being overly curated, and the fact that it has a hole-in-the-wall vibe while being a pretty spacious restaurant only adds to the comfort and down-to-earth feel. You get the best of both worlds, and at very affordable prices! I can't say enough good things about this place, and every friend I've brought here has said that they would love to come back. Extensive menu with lots of options (Soup? Noodles? Pancakes? Eggs? This place has got them all!), amazing service, and rarely any wait time for even large parties - it's no wonder I want to come back again and again.

    Good food and great service! Upon arrival, the staff there was so accommodating and helpful. The restaurant itself felt very homey and cozy. I'm usually afraid of restaurants being so overdone, but this restaurant felt really local and friendly. As for the food, my tables favorites are what's pictured! Our number one would have to be the pandan waffle. It's chewy, not too sweet and didn't feel heavy at all! Our next favorite would have to be bo luc lac. It's perfect for anyone who prefers a savory breakfast over a sweet one. Lastly is the Thai tea French toast! Another light meal, but extremely delicious. Definitely a must try when in china town!

    Decided to try it out with my girlfriend before we left SF and honestly I'm so glad we did. Honestly I have never been so satisfied from food in so long and guys I am not exaggerating one bit. The food is FREAKING AMAZING!!!! What we decided to get was the shrimp Benedict , Bo luc lac , Tom yum , fried chicken , salmon curry , Thai tea waffles. First of all the portions are huge and for the price so cheap. Honestly the dishes are worth in the $25-30 range but it was only $15-17 range . They are a new restaurant and are amazing people . Definitely Try this place out !

I asked a passing waitress how long was the wait--(30 minutes she said confidently). I had ZERO faith in that estimate. I was wrong. About EVERYTHING. The Host was a genius. Our waitress was a royal. Her serving team was the Kentucky Derby of thoroughbreds racing to place the silverware, condiments, used dishes, and refilled coffee going. The food tasted Michelin level. I can SAY that because we had eaten dinner at an actual Michelin rated restaurant the night before. (No Yelp rating needed because they ABSOLUTELY deserved it= NARI) I had a FRIED French Toast BECAUSE it cannot sit waiting to be served.

The Bloody Marys are delicious, they have a solid beer and wine selection, and the service is warm and friendly. Now for the not-so-amazing. The coleslaw is bland, watery, and served in a little plastic takeout container. The small tables feel cluttered with oversized sugar, salt and pepper shakers, bowls of foil-wrapped butter, extra utensils, napkins, and hot sauce, leaving very little room for your meal. Even the water is served in large plastic cups, which makes it feel more like a backyard cookout than a restaurant. The catfish po' boy is flavorful, but it's built in a way that's difficult to eat. My first two bites were nothing but bread, the third was tomato, and it wasn't until the fourth bite that I finally got to the catfish--by then the tomato had already slipped out. It's delicious, but you'll probably have an easier time tackling it with a fork and knife. Overall, there's a lot of heart at Brenda's. The food is comforting, the atmosphere is welcoming, and despite a few quirks, it's a place I keep coming back to when I'm craving Southern comfort food.
