If you live in Bend or are just passing through, Spork is an absolute must-visit. The interior has…read morea cool, modern vibe that perfectly matches their eclectic Asian-Mexican fusion menu. The restaurant runs on a highly efficient counter-service model: you wait in line to order, and a server coordinates whether you want to grab a table inside or out on the patio. Once we were seated, our food came out incredibly fast. I had the Spicy Pork Noodles, and my partner got the Yellow Curry loaded with shrimp and pork belly. Both main dishes were packed with flavor, and the crisp cucumber salad was the perfect side to share. I also ordered a hard cider to wash it down. Everything was delicious from start to finish.

We came over the hill on a Tuesday and randomly chose this place. Boy are we glad we did thiugh!…read moreThe food was amazing! So much flavor and the fusion was insanely good! Just enough spicy without being too much. Ordering at the counter seemed interesting to me due to the layout of the dining room, but the staff knew exactly what they were doing and were able to direct us to a seat easily! Our food and drinks also came in a timing manner. I really appreciated that we could see all the way back into the kitchen and there was transparency between the kitchen and the consumers. The bar looked gorgeous and I would definetly like to sit there next time for the vibes. I also loved that they provided self-serve boxes, napkins, and utensils but still had a sign asking patrons to be concious of how much they're using. The overall flow between ordering, self serve, and dining was super efficient and nice! Can't wait to come here again!

We've tried Jia more than 3 times. Mostly dining in and once for take out. When they first opened…read morewe figured they needed to work out some kinks (everything was tasting and very similar to PF Changs). Now that there is a new owner, dining in, food is much better. Portions are on point with price. Takeout is another story half the food for the same price. Takeout portions are drastically smaller and not worth the expense and time picking up. Pick up times that they give you are way off. Showed up about 5 minutes before the scheduled pick up but had to wait another 30 mins past their pick up time before the order was ready. Hopefully they can improve because they're a great asset to the community in the south part of Bend. I'll update with another review next time we stop in.

I had the number 4 at the recommendation of our server who by the way was delightful. The broth with the black garlic had me tipping my bowl to get every drop. I also ordered the pork bun and wish I would have ordered 4 of them. I cant remember the name of the dish my friend had but I did include a picture in my review she was delighted with it. My other friend ordered the won ton soup it was our least favorite of the 3 dishes we ordered but still so dang good. Do your self a favor and try this place DONT LET THE OUTSIDE of this place keep you from going INSIDE. They have some dated food pictures hanging in the window they make it seem slightly run down but inside is LOVELY and smells delicious. I will be back!!! Its Definitely a must try.

Call ahead! Always. It's worth it here. My dining companion and I shared a Kurosawa roll (I asked for the sauce to be on the side) and the Chef's Choice large Sashimi Platter. I enjoyed a sencha tea as they happened to be out of genmaicha that night and my friend enjoyed a darn good old fashioned with the number five carved into the surface of the ice cube.

We sat at the sushi counter and were able to watch the artistry of the chefs and chat with them a bit towards end of the evening. Appreciated the wine list with mostly Oregon, lovely vintages. Entire staff was friendly and accommodating. Look forward to returning when back in town!

They shut the lights off in the restaurant at 9:20pm. Us and another table took the hint to finish our drinks, get boxes for the remainder of our food and leave. Outrageous. The staff rushed us in a very clear manner - they couldn't wait for us to leave. Do with that what you will- in all, there are better experiences in Bend.

Love the atmosphere. The pictures and table decorations were very interesting and seating was…read morecomfortable. Nothing special above and beyond insofar as the service but it was not bad either. I would say, they did their job. My granddaughter and I both got the Khao Soi Curry with Chicken. It was fantastic. Hot, creamy and coconutty with just the right level of spice. The portion was extremely generous making for some excellent leftovers. It had crunchy noodles for texture, soft noodles for chew and it was very saucy, with a decent portion of chicken. If I had to find a negative, by itself, the thinly sliced chicken seemed under seasoned and would have been dry had there not been a good amount of sauce. All in all, I highly recommend a visit to others and deemed them worthy of a return visit to try some of their other menu items.

This time we got the Caviar Juk ($20), Caviar Ppang ($20), two mocktails: Watermelon Basil and Apple a day ($8 each), and the Oli main ($32). Caviar Juk is still elite. The Caviar Ppang is also very good, the foie adds a great fattiness to the brine of the caviar. The duck was tender and rice was interesting and fruity. Both mocktails were also great. Watermelon Basil is sweet and tart. Apple a day is like a pear juice, so good. The no longer have the kimchi bread anymore, I almost cried.

I went with a larger group, and I have to say I think I was the only one who was disappointed by…read morethe meal. Everyone really seemed to enjoy the cocktails and food. Unfortunately, the dish I ordered was not tasty to me. I got the Bibimbap, which is a dish I've had at other Korean restaurants. By comparison, the one at Yoli was dry with a very unusual taste I couldn't quite place. The meat was almost non existent... very little at all in the bowl, which was mostly rice. And while the rice was good, it lacked any kind of sauce or added flavor. I don't think I'll return.

The family and I got away a few days to Bend. The day before we stumbled upon The Box Factory near…read morethe Old Mill District and decided the following day we would go and have lunch at one of the restaurants there. Just so happens one of places we wanted to try was closed for for lunch, so we ended up wanting to try Miyagi Ramen. Boy, glad we did. We walked in and we were greeted by 2 young ladies working up front that did a fantastic job giving great service. It wasn't very busy so we were served pretty quickly. I tried the Chicken Paitan Ramen. Very good, not to spicy, Chicken was tender, the sprouts and bamboo shoots worked well together. Another good thing was the portion size. I took half of it with me. Overall a very good experience. The vibe was very cool. It was the standard, eclectic Bend vibe. I liked they happened to be playing 70's disco, Motown music. I would say if you come to Bend, Miyagi Ramen is a must try. Then go shopping, go wine tasting there at The Box Factory. So a shout out to the ladies working on 7/16 for lunch. You did great. Next time we are in Bend we will come back for more ramen.

Food (7/10): I got the Miyagi Don Rice bowl with Chasu Pork and it was good. I liked how the…read moreflavors were balanced well, the pork was pretty crispy and juicy, and the sauce was savory and citrusy (I think I got yuzu and ginger sauce). Service (7/10): you order at the cashier and then the server would bring your food to the table. You also grab your own utensils and waters so it was a lot of self service, which worked out for the better for this place because the staff seemed pretty busy. Overall the service was OK to me. Vibes (8/10): the inside looked pretty cool since they had a big wall with graffiti art and they had good music playing in the background so overall a good vibe. However, the place is kinda small so I wouldn't recommend for groups bigger than 6 imo. Parking: we came on a Tuesday afternoon and there was plenty of parking in the plaza to the right of the restaurant. My only concern for this place was that I saw one of the servers switching between taking orders at the register and preparing food with her bare hands without washing her hands in between nor wearing gloves during food preparation so that was a bit concerning for me.

While visiting Bend Oregon we decided to go back to visit Chi Chinese and Sushi Bar…read more It wasn't as crowded from the last time we visited and got seated right away. We ordered family style I ordered the orange chicken which was good and flavorful. The Seafood tofu soup was very good and tasty with a lot of vegetables and seafood and tofu. The appetizer platter was good and gave a good selection of their appetizers, so if you enjoy an appetizer you could order more. The fried spring rolls came out hot and crispy and the sauce was good it was the type you can buy at the market, sweet chili sauce which is what most restaurants are using. The sushi rolls we had 5 different types of sushi's rolls, which was good, but for sushi you should order 1-2 rolls at a time and as it starts to get eaten, then order the next set. First if you order all at once hardly any room on the table and sushi should be eaten fresh right away and also there was so much left over and to eat it the next day is the worst way to eat sushi! Staff were friendly and service was good and restaurant and restrooms were clean and well maintained. Lots of parking

My one area of change could be the soda, their soda machine was mixed up with Dr Pepper tasting like root beer other than that this is a good place to eat if you want somewhere to eat Chinese with a big group of people and fast timing, then look no further then Chi this is why I rate it 4 stars.

Bi-bim-bops mostly but also some other goodies such as Korean spiced tots and a Korean corn dog. First impressions: when the menu says spicy, the food will be. Not blisteringly so but for those with a low tolerance, take heed. Five dishes ordered and promptly delivered by Door Dash - all good. - Tots: very nice, comes with two dipping sauces, both tasty. - Vegan chicken bi-bim-bop (#3): I've never had fake chicken until now and it works about as well as fake beef (Beyond, Impossible). Which is to say, quite passable. Beyond the fake chicken, the dish itself is very good. Bop sauce (in a separate tub) is tasty if a touch sweet. - Chinese cabbage salad: Excellent. I could eat this all day. - Bop dog: a Korean-inspired corn dog. The epitome of fusion, I guess. Pretty good with a nice panko coating. If you like corn dogs, you'll probably like it. - Beef bi-bim-bop (#1): Excellent. Well seasoned beef with very well done veggies and soft-boiled egg, including kim chi. Overall, I'd say Bop Culture has hit it out of the park in a town somewhat lacking in Asian-inspired cuisine (although it's getting better). Highly recommended.

I'm just so excited about having any kind of Korean food in town. I get tired of eating my own food…read moresometimes. I like the fact that they offer modern style Korean food as well like Corn Cheese, Hot Dog and Vegan Bibimbap! I've ordered different things from them a couple of times. Our favorites so far are Hot dog, pork belly Bossam, ZZ bop (vegan Bibimbap with fake chicken), and kimchi dumplings!! The Bop miso sauce is amazing too!! I know some of you wouldn't like their food because it's not traditional Korean food to you. Also some of you wouldn't like their food because it's way too authentic and traditional like their banchan. I know because I'm in the food business! Give it a try yourself and see what they are all about!
