Fork And Spoon Food House

You MUST go eat here. Absolutely delicious food, massive serving sizes. I ate plenty of my dinner and practically filled my take home box. The owners are kind and sweet. The place was empty, which is nuts because the surrounding food choices are either way too divey, like bar food, or very overpriced and only kind of good. I wish I had taken pictures.

Landed at PDX and we were craving Filipino food and found this place. When we arrived it was empty but the wooden forks and spoons and decorations gave true Filipino vibes. Our host/server was super friendly and said it was his aunt's place. The food was delicious but surprisingly was set up as individual entrees with rice rather than family style. Our server happily brought us plates and serving spoons when we said we were planning to share. Everything was flavorful and came out hot and fresh.

This is the best place to eat if you're craving for filipino cuisine.

A pleasant little cafe on Sandy Blvd. Food is flavorful & fresh. We had the Pork Lumpia, Chicken Pancit (Bihon) & Pork Adobo. The server was very attentive. I grew up eating Filipino food from my grandfather on my dad’s side. It was a nice walk down memory lane. Thank you. We will definitely be back.

Unassuming spot off Sandy.Food was good here,waitress very nice as well.If you've never had Filipino food before give it a go.

Visiting from Seattle & Chicago and we wanted some Filipino Food and this place did not disappoint! Food is very good and will definitely come back again! A must try! Salamat to the owners and staff for a great lunch & service!

A lil salty and not much very meat but the lumpia was great

A hole in the wall Filipino restaurant off Sandy Blvd and 107th Ave. I had the Sisig Canton over noodles with a fried egg on top. My wife had the chicken empanadas. We've not eaten Filipino before but we really liked it. My wife loved hers saying the crust was nice and flaky and the chicken seasoned perfectly. Mine was mildly spicy so I kicked it up a notch with some Sriracha sauce.

I went here because I wanted Philipno food. The food was delicious and the people here are awesomely friendly It is a family owned local place with very friendly people I will definitely come back and encourage everyone to go visit for the delicious food and friendly people shout out to Dom

I came here a while ago to pick up an order for a college Asian Pacific Islander Student Union event. Walking in, the inside of the restaurant was fairly spacious with lots of seating. The owners were quickly wrapping up the order (I was a bit early). They were both super friendly, fun to talk to, and kind. It was nice to hear about how their business is, and makes me want to support their family-owned business. We ordered pancit and lumpia and both were delicious. They were a huge hit with lots of students and the portions were a lot more filling than expected. Would love to come back again and try their food in-store.

A month ago we needed a place to get food before an event! I'm glad we decided to check out this Filipino restaurant. Service was excellent and the combo platter of rice, pancit and adobo was delicious! I definitely would go back to try their other menu items and this combo (again)!

It's taken me a while to write this review as I wanted to take some time to process what occurred during my visit to Fork and Spoon. I have driven by the restaurant for at least a couple of years now. Right off Sandy Blvd. the location is very convenient to get to. Excited to try some Filipino food in town, I finally took my mom here while she was visiting with other family members. The restaurant is big and spacious inside. They have a corner selling souvenirs from the Philippines, and a pretty good sized menu. Prices are a bit high per entree ($15+). We were seated quickly and our orders taken. All was going well until the food was delivered to our table. My cousin does not eat meat. At our table, there were two orders of pancit: one with chicken and one with tofu. The server (presume he is husband of the owner at this mom and pop restaurant) that brought our food had put down the plates giving my cousin the chicken and my mom the tofu. He walked away to grab the remaining three entrees and at that time my cousin had put hot sauce and lemon all over her entree. By the time the server got back, my mom had taken a bite of her food and voiced that it was not what she ordered (chicken). The server acted like he didn't understand her and claimed it was chicken. My cousin then inspected her entree and noticed it was chicken. The server asked them to switch, but my mom does not eat spicy and did not want the lemon squeezed all over her entree. She asked if she could get a new plate with what she had ordered and gave my cousin the tofu dish. The chicken dish was not eaten out of at this point. Disgruntled, the server goes back to the kitchen and gets another chicken pancit for my mom. We all eat and are merry until the bill comes. They had charged us for the original chicken pancit as well as the new one that was brought out even though the switch was their mistake. Additionally, the entrees are pretty sizable and we needed a few to go boxes. Heads up, to go boxes are 10 cents each here. So not only do they nickel and dime you pm not finishing your food, but we also had to pay for the to go box for our messed up order. With service like what we received, we unfortunately will not be back

There aren't many Filipino options in the Portland area so I am happy this spot is around! I came late lunch time on Saturday and the restaurant was almost empty and there was calm instrumental music playing in the background. I tried their combo meal which came with chicken adobo, lumpia, rice, and pancit, as well as tried the sisig fries. The combo meal was great and the adobo was well marinated however the meat was lacking while there was a lot of pancit! The sisig fries were a nice comfort option! I definitely want to come back to try other options here. Their breakfast menu looks so good!

Passing thru Portland for one day and so glad I found this place. I'd eat here all the time if I lived here. Best Filipino food I've had in years.

Was in town and my dad was craving Filipino food. This place has always been on our list and I'm glad we were able to try it. We wanted to order the bangsilog and spaghetti but I guess it was so good, it was sold out. So we opted for the sisig, tocilog and sinigang isda. Each of the dishes were so good! They provide a good amount of protein and rice for their prices. On average each rice plate is $15-$16 and that's normal across all restaurants from my experience. My boyfriend even tried their ube cheesecake and had to go back to buy my parents' one so they can try. I really enjoyed the sisig, their style sisig includes the Mayo and the creaminess really goes well with the salty/fattiness. The service was great and the employees all have a great sense of humors. We plan to come back and enjoy dining in next time we're in town. *plenty of street parking and parking lot in back*

Me and my husband came here to pick up food after a long road trip and we're excited to try a filipino restaurant in Portland. I'm so sad to say but hindi masarap :( I've had plenty of authentic Filipino food & the plates I had from this establishment goes down as one of the worst. I opened the box to the sisig and immediately didn't want to try it. It looks so bland and colorless and tasted just like it looks. The flavor I got was grease/oil. The meat flavorless just leaves your mouth feeling oily. The egg wasn't seasoned at all. The rice was borderline over cooked almost tasted like instant rice vs one in a rice cooker. The lumpia taste like straight oil as well. Couldn't taste the ingredients inside at all. The turon tasted just like banana but no caramelization you expect from traditional turon. I definitely would not recommend or come back and hope no one bases their opinion of Filipino food from this place. I can't even say because it's an Americanized version, the food was just not good at all :(

So yummy! This was our first stop for food and also our first time in Portland. Service was lovely and the food was delicious! We got the adobo combo, tortang taking, and the leche flan. Reminds me of my mom's cooking - I could come here everyday! Thank you for the excellent food and service :) .. no photos as we were starving and scarfed it down haha.

My first time. I was impressed. Very clean, well organized, music playing and of course food. If you haven't gone please go. These people need our business to be there for us.

The Philippines are one of the only countries in SEA that I haven't been to, so I really have nothing to compare this food to. I really didn't know what to expect, but the food sounded good. We knew that it wouldn't be spicy. Filipino food isn't known for being spicy. I love spicy food. So I didn't want to rate this based on that. We greeted by the owner, I think, who showed us where to sit. The service was very nice and friendly. We visited with zero expectations. We ordered an appetizer of sisig fries, tapsilog and pancit bihon. The sisig fries were pretty good. The Mayo made it creamy, but there was a little bit too much of it. Very good flavor on the pork belly though. The beef dish was good. It had a nice subtle flavor. And it came with a lot of rice. I had a ton of leftovers. My husband enjoyed his chicken noodles too. The flavor was good, and he had just enough to finish without feeling too full. We were able to add sriracha to it, but it was good without it. It's definitely nice if you prefer non-spicy dishes. And we highly recommend it.

Such a great place! We got lumpia, which was amazing! The service is wonderful too, the person taking our order and the person who made our food were so darn nice! My husband got sisig and I got chicken adobo and both tasted so good! Would definitely recommend coming to this small and cozy place, such great Filipino food!!

Our go-to for always friendly service and consistently good Filipino food. Best Kare-kare dish hands down. The owner has the secret sauce!

One of the Best Filipino Restuarant in Portland / Pacific North West. Food is Delicious, A Wide variety of Filipino Dishes, Friendly Staff, Amazing Customer Service, Fast Service, Convenient Parking, Cozy Place next to the Chik & Chuck Coffee shop. More Power Fork & Spoon‍

We were visiting portland from los angeles and found out there's a filipino restaurant and we wanted to support it. Looked at yelp and it was 4 stars so we went. We walked in and ordered sinigang and sisig, after **45 MINS** our food came and it tastes horrible. The sinigang doesnt taste sinigang at all and the sisig tasted like expired pork. We spoke to the owner/cook and told our concerns, and they offered us extra rice which we wont need because the food is not even edible. The food is overpriced. Hope the restaurant changes its recipe and quality control. Does portland even have food safety inspections??

This was our first time trying Filipino food and we weren't disappointed. It was delicious. We got the combo plate because we wanted to try a little bit of everything and we got a fresh lumpia to share for two people. We really like the combo plate, but the fresh lumpia texture wise I wasn't a fan. The Halo Halo is really good! It had a lot of different flavors and textures going on. It even had sweet black beans and Flan with Ube ice cream and crunchy cereal as a topping. Highly recommend getting the halo halo if you've never had it. Although we didn't really enjoy the fresh lumpia the fried ones were pretty amazing. They were short staffed which caused our food to take a bit to our table but we didn't mind.

Great menu with the classics, and some items you don't see on every menu such as pinakbet, and torta tulong. Everything we had was really fresh and quite tasty. The tulong was fire peeled just like my family does. This place is a winner!

We came from San francisco and it was our first time here in Portland. We decided to try this filipino restaurant and waited for 1hr for just sinigang and sisig that taste horrible. We're Heavily disappointed. The food doesn't even taste like home. Worst filipino food that I've tasted in my entire life. Never coming back again.

Great service and very tasty food. We got the lumpia, pancit bihon, adobo and pinakbet. Definitely coming back.

Home run this time with the Bicol Express. Glad to see the previous disappointing visit was a one-off situation.

we were from out of state and craving for Filipino food. We ordered from all day breakfast menu. The food were bland and don't taste authentic Filipino dishes. I even ordered sago gulaman but I cannot even finish it. Sorry, I can't recommend this restaurant.

Never go here!! Racist, rude, and horrible service. Although my family did not eat here, we were yelled at and kicked out before my family could even order. While the Filipino chef was really nice, the rest of the staff or others in restaurant were very racist and rude to my kids and family. While being kicked out of the restaurant for putting water into my child's water bottle in the bathroom, one of the owners or staff, abruptly rose to his feet in a threatening, wanting to fight to get our family out. Avoid this place, they deserve no service for being racist and rude.

Yikes! This place is gross we ordered the pork belly bbq, chicken skewers and longanisa and it was undercooked Yeah, I get it it was a trial street food event but I find it so dirty and disgusting they used the same thongs to grab everything, from raw meat to already cooked meat. Beside it's too expensive, 1 slice of pork belly $10.00, 1 pork skewer $ 8.00 and $ 7.00 for the chicken and 1 piece of longanisa was $3.50 it wasn't worth it at all. The young boy who was helping, my daughter and I saw him touching his hair and dirty shirt. Also we sat inside the restaurant and all the garbage can were full of craps. Never go back to this place ever again!!!!! Someone should call the Health Department and complain about this place.. If I could rate 0 to this place I would.

Some of the best Filipino food in all of PNW. We are from Seattle, which has numerous options and this was a welcomed surprise. My wife is from Philippines and she was remarking at how good everything is. The chef is from the Philippines and also went to a Portland culinary institute. Everything is made from scratch. The Sisig was the best IMHO. The pork was cooked to be tender and had a balance of lemon juice, and the over easy egg with garlic rice just put us on food "cloud 9". Definitely, only better place is in Philippines. Also don't forget to order the fresh fruit smoothies. I wish I brought my own Boba. They are not too sweet and pair nicely with the salty dishes. Pancit was also good and the BBQ pork skewers were kid approved. We also ordered a lot of other food but dug in before we could get to them. Fried Lumpia was delicious also. Crunchy on outside and yummy on the inside. Support your local small business and try something new. We'll definitely be back.

Based on the reviews i was expecting a lot from this place. I will be starting off with spring rolls I think they use peanut oil to fry it taste like peanuts and inside has peanut butter. Next is going to be the Sisig (i ordered 3, expecting it was gonna be awsome), thawed, boiled, bland bland bland. I've never had sisig like this before, does need to add some chili and more spices, meat needs to be cooked more, its like half cooked and finished cooking after thawing half cooked, thats what the texture is like. Had to recook and add spices when i got home. Tinola is also bland for me. needs more ginger, and add thai chili to sub for for pepper leaves or just use pepper leaves. Bicol express, not spicy, coconut milk is not cooked thoroughly, taste like ingredients are incomplete These are the only ones i tried, have not tried any other on the menu.

Let start by saying I'm not Filipino but I have lots of Filipino friends and came here with a friend from work she's actually from the Philippines but has lived in Seattle for at least 35 years. She's very particular about Filipino food I've brought her to places or items from a place in Seattle and she'll usually say it should be like this or that. We had to come to Portland for a meeting and extended our visit a day. Before we drove down I looked up Filipino restaurants in Portland and came across this place and Magna Kusina. This looked like comfort food and was open for lunch and dinner it was a farther drive from where we were coming from that day but was worth the 45min drive and it is close to The Grotto which friend has been to but wanted to visit again. We had to laugh because the name is so fitting I've been with her at a place in Seattle when she asked for a spoon. Service was extremely friendly we talked to one of the owners nicest guy, learned it had started as a food truck in Beaverton and had been open there from 2012-2016. The brick and mortar has been open for about a year. My friend and the owner gabbed away in Tagalog. I had the chicken adobolog, my friend had the bistik and also ordered the Takwa't Baboy cause she wanted me try it. Everything was delicious came out quickly. We definitely return, made us feel like family. We also shared a piece of the maja blanca that's the only item she had comments about. I enjoyed but I don't know how it's supposed to be.

I gave this place a four-star, because the food is outstanding! As far as the service and wait, it is horrible. I'm sorry if you are reading this but yes, the service and wait took like-forever... Can't keep customers waiting when they see and hear that the food is good diba? I got the pinakbet, chicken & pork bbq stick and dinuguan The pandan drink was so refreshing!

This place is AMAZING!!! I know for a fact this is high on my list of must-stops when I visit Portland again! I get nervous trying new ethnic restaurants but this was a win!! First, the food was crazy fresh! They make it by order and you can tell. Sure maybe it means waiting a few more minutes but honestly it was completely worth it! The lumpia is outrageous! I ordered was full of flavor and not to mention there was plenty of it to share AND bring home leftovers! You can tell how much love goes into every dish. Second, the love you taste in the food translates to the feel of the restaurant. You can sense how much they value what they do and care about their customers. Super attentive and friendly. Can't beat that right?! The only downside for me? That I live 3000 miles away and they don't deliver.

This little Filipino restaurant offered a wide menu of delicious sounding dishes. Many choices could be made using various meats or vegetarian options. My daughter and I split a combination plate with several items, while our companions each got their own meals... One with rice as a side and one with noodles. Unfortunately we don't remember the names of the items we ordered, but they were very tasty.

This place is OK. I have family that makes better. And Goldilocks is really even better too. The lumpia taste like cosco food service. Which is just OK. Poncit was just OK. They are OK. Halohalo was pretty good.

I had such a great experience here! I arrived in Portland Saturday morning and the cold weather made me crave sinigang. I heard about Fork and Spoon from a friend. We arrived a little after the opened and we were greeted and seated right away. Our server Don Pogi, whose real name is mike, was so kind and funny! I ordered the pork sinigang, my friend ordered the tapsilog, my brother ordered the pork sisig and we shared a half order of sisig fries The food was delicious! Really reminded me of the food back home in San Jose. My sinigang was not as sour as I would have liked it, but a little Patis did the trick. The garlic rice from the tapsilog was so flavorful! The tapa was delicious as well. The sisig was really good! A little heavy on the mayo but super tasty. What really made our experience great was Don Pogi! He constantly checked if the food came out good and if we needed anything. Great friendly conversations too! Next time i come to Portland, I will definitely come back to get my Pinot Fix!

First time here. Ordered over the phone. Still had to wait a bit, but it was worth it. Ordered the empanadas, lumpia , sisig over fries (half order) and bistik: beef strips cooked in soy sauce and other flavors. Tender onions with a flavorful sauce. The fries were the star of the show. I have never had Filipino food before. Such a rich contrast and depth of flavors. Still can't put it in words. The lumpia were crispy, light not gamey at all. The empanadas were dense, heavy and had weird filling. Not to my taste at all. Will be back!

Excellent fresh lumpia. It's the real thing, more savory sauce. The filling was so tasty. Empanadas have a slightly spicy filling which is great. Lumpia steals the show.

Great Filipino food, very friendly atmosphere, very authentic. My family likes to visit here whenever we're in Portland. And since there is no Filipino food in Vancouver, we come over to Portland just to go to fork and spoon.

The pancit was so tasty! It was difficult to put the fork down. The proportions are very generous. Great for family meals or if you want to save some for lunch the next day. Don't forget to try the desserts. There's lot's of Ube options to choose from.

Excellent food Kare kare #1 Bangsilog fried rice portion is so generous sisig fries very good Mike a wonderful guy speak good tagalog Halo halo the best for me place to visit when in Portland not to far from the grotto Keep up the good work Excellent And also clean washroom

Wait, I don't ever crave Filipino food and I wasn't the one that decided on this place, but OH MY GOD the Tocilog was hella good. The gem with this place is their char. Both the sisig and the tocino has this char that was extra special. The flavors were just enough and didn't leave my mouth feeling like a wad of salt. My brother and I also tried to figure out how they made the fried rice so magical and we decided that they probably added some adobo sauce with the steamed rice and browned it up to make it magical brown rice that hits the spot. Btw, the tocilog came with a whole rice field of rice... idk how I'd ever finish that rice in one sitting LOL. Wish I had more tocino tho. Overall, reaaaallly good Filipino joint! Perfect for after you hit up the grotto and buy your titas some rosaries to match their LV bags ;) lol jk

Just arrived in town from the east coast and needed to find a spot to eat. Hubby mentioned Filipino food and this spot popped up. From the moment we walked in the door I could tell we were in for an amazing lunch! And I wasn't wrong!! The menu has many options and all looks and sounded so delicious. We are only in town for 2 weeks and definitely hoping to stop in at least once more! The staff was friendly as well.

So glad we finally stopped her to eat after seeing it open months ago. Judging by all the good reviews they really don't need me chiming in but I will do it anyway. Place is large and the staff as mentioned before all seem to be family. I was craving the noodle dish (pancit (sp?) and was not disjointed also the lumpia was everything I had hoped. The portions here are a bit ridiculous. The noodle dishes seem to be enough for two meals and it does make a great lunch the next day (or dinner). Next I am trying the Adobo which also looked large but more reasonable compared to the noodle dishes. We will be back soon. One more thing, on the menu they do offer some more mundane dishes like chicken nuggets and grilled cheese so if you are eating with kids or others who don't like this food there might be something for them. Support local family owned places and eat here. You will be happy.

All around great food !! Being married to a beautiful Filipino woman that cooks I automatically have my reservations about trying anything other than the wife's food. Look out, this place is fantastic. Being fairly new this place gives me that at home feel. And the food is worth every cent. The portions are more than enough and can easily be shared. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the great service and amazing food

Overprice for the amount of food I got . 3 Toruń's for $8 and it's a small portion . $10 for 2 empanadas and they weren't good . And the Chicken adobo was super salty and greasy . I'm Filipino myself and I am very disappointed.

Friendly staff and great selection of traditional Filipino favorites. We had a hard time narrowing down our choices with so many wonderful offerings. We will definitely be back to work our way through their menu. I missed the board, near the register when we came in. Be sure to check out their specials that are not on the menu. Casual environment with easy street parking.

We picked up some chicken adobo and chicken lumpia. Did want some pork lumpia but they were out. We LOVED all the food. We will definitely go again. They gave a delicious chili oil sauce with the lumpia too. We ordered in the restaurant and waited about 10 minutes or so. I recommend calling ahead so you don't have to hang around although they did let us wait inside because they weren't doing dine in. As for parking there was a small strip out front and I believe to the left side but it didn't look to me as there was a parking lot.

Had the longsilog . I was pretty disappointed with the amount of serving. Garlic fried rice was plenty yes but 3 pieces of small longganisa and one egg?? You could've doubled down on the egg probably would've been better. Same like most Pinoy joints.! Over priced and underwhelming.

We're visiting from the Bay Area and always make a point to find a Filipino restaurant in every city we take a trip to. That said, the food here tasted just like home! The sinigang was perfectly sour, the kare kare was seasoned perfectly, and Bicol express had a lovely kick. It was also a plus that they had bagoong for us when we asked. Definitely glad we stopped by, and will be sure to come again when we're in town!

Absolutely love this mom & pop Philippino restaurant that just happens be down the street from our home. Their pork lumpia taste homemade just like a patient used to make as a gift for me! Memories! But you should also try their fresh lumpia for a delicious spin! I love the Sisig and my daughter gets the Sisig fries (and of course there's enough for us to steal some). The Biscol Express is always a winner and so is the Chicken Teriyaki. I am so glad this restaurant is so close because I am excited to try everything on the menu! Next up to try will be the Tinola, an empanada and the Tocilog! Can't wait!

I called and asked if they had dinaguan. The lady was very polite and said not today but we will have some tomorrow. I called the next day and sure enough it was just being finished. I got over there as fast as I could and got it as take out. Got home, opened the box and was pleased to see tons of rice and a healthy portion! My.first bit was bliss and now I need to go back and try everything else!!! Now if I could get there in time to try the Puto with cheese. Apparently it sells.out quickly.

I get it, it was a trial Street food event and I didn't really care about the wait and stuff. My concerning was cross contaminating, touching raw meat with gloves and touching cook meat with the same gloves is definitely is a BIG no and using the same tongs to touch the raw meat and using the same tongs to grab the cook meat I'm sorry there just too much also not checking the temperature of the meat too we got a few chicken and pork uncooked. Lucky I was not the health inspection. Sorry to say it Will be our first and last. I can't believe you guys charge me so much for using a debit card. (Pissed AF) Would appreciate if you told all your costumers that. Plus y'all over charger your food it's not worth it.

OMGoodness this place is the real thing. Chicken Adobe, Pancit, Lumpia all my favorites. Made when ordered fresh vegetables. The waiter with the patience of a monk explaining every dish we asked about a very kind man. Very clean also. So many dishes so little time. I can see this as a weekly meal stop. Easy parking.
