If you are looking for a healthier option full of flavor Spoke is one of the best. I had their gluten free fried chicken appetizer and small salad. It was filling and delicious. You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. They have a variety of ethnic food . It is hard to choose a favorite.

This spot is eclectic, savory, and delicious. The menu is primarily Asian influenced, but they also have tacos and other specials. My companion had the beef and broccoli, which he thoroughly enjoyed (though it had a surprising amount of lemongrass). I had the shrimp and pork belly curry, which was bursting with flavor and a good variety of ingredients. The consistency was very liquidity which is not my preference, but it was so rich in flavor that I still give it a strong five stars. I also really enjoyed the punch cocktail with a rum of blends, tea, and apricot liqueur. The service was order at the counter and partial self-service, but it was friendly. The ambience is casual zen with plants and a slight bohemian feel. Great place to stop on your next trip to Bend!

For reference I ordered the chilaquiles with a fried egg and grilled veggies on the side; to note I am Mexican so I grew up eating chilaquiles for breakfast. I loved it, it was fresh and a healthy conscious take on a traditional Mexican meal. It was light and flavorful not too spicy but it had a little kick. Jalapeños were spicy I loved them. The grilled bell peppers, green beans and mushrooms added to that healthy freshness of the dish it was delicious. The tortillas were crispy and airy and the fried egg had the perfect amount of yolk to soak the white of the egg. If you’re on diet but want to spoil yourself a bit this is a GREAT option.
The service was standard in my opinion, when you first walk in you go up to the register, look at the menu then order your food. They’ll tell you where to sit then bring your food out to you. Silverware and napkins are on the way to your seat with extra plates as well.
Atmosphere is almost home like; you order your food and just go sit down, chill, socialize whatever your heart desires. They even have a basket with blankets to make you feel more comfortable and relaxed. I think if you love Mexican food and Asian food this spot is the best of both worlds with healthy alternatives to traditional dishes.

Great food and cozy vibe! We got carnitas and chicken tinga in tacos. Both the tacos were amazing. Dan Dan noodles were delicious too. The Szechuan pepper kick flavour kicks in with first bite! Spicy fried chicken is a must try. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was tasty. The Tampico sunrise drink was great.(not in pictures ). Overall a very good spot for fusion food in bend there was a long line when we went in at 8 pm but it’s worth the wait

Spork is what happens when a Bend hiker, a Seattle garden gnome, and a zen master open a restaurant together—and somehow it works. The vibe is part eco-conscious self-serve (hydrate yourself, people, the water station awaits) and part culinary choose-your-own-adventure. It feels hands-on without feeling abandoned—like your cool friend who lets you borrow their kayak but still reminds you to wear sunscreen.
Ordering could have been a nightmare given the menu reads like a love letter to every corner of Asia plus a few detours, but the gentleman at the counter deserves a Nobel Prize in Menu Explanation. He not only decoded the dishes for us, but sold us on why people rave about them—like a hype man for noodles. Ten out of ten, would let him guide my life choices.
Food-wise: my husband ordered the happy hour chicken sandwich and is now in a committed relationship with it. He still brings it up in conversation as if it’s a long-lost flame. We got the fried cheese, because let’s be real—fried cheese is never a mistake, it’s a life philosophy. I had a noodle bowl that was absolutely incredible. Drinks? Let’s just say we “accidentally” upgraded happy hour to full-on cocktail hour. Zero regrets.
In conclusion: Spork Bend is quirky, delicious, and unforgettable. We came for happy hour, we stayed for the food (and drinks). We’ll be back faster than you can say fried cheese forever.

Another self bussing restaurant where you order first without servers. Very busy but we noticed that we were the only Asian people as customers. Maybe that’s just Bend in general.
The menu is pan-Asian but good food.
Finding the restaurant entrance can be comical.

The best place we ate in Bend! While having a more casual feel the food was anything but. Despite a busy evening and a long line, the staff take tote drink orders and deliver them to you while waiting for counter service! A lovely touch. The food itself was delicious, nom ish, and full of flavor. From the crispy cheese bites, seasonal melon salad, and incredible Szechuan Dan Dan noodles, every bite was wonderful and we simply couldn’t stop ourselves.

The food has great flavors that are well balanced. Sometimes Asian fusion foods can taste stretched from original recipes, but they manage to make it taste close enough with their own flavor to it which I appreciate. I liked their dan dan noodles, typically it’s made with egg noodle and this one tastes like a flat rice noodle. The Thai steak salad has so many delicious flavors, very close to the Thai style without any chili. Wish they added Thai chili, but still it is salty sweet fish saucy goodness are delicious as heck!

We celebrated our anniversary here. Very busy, lively atmosphere. Staff were friendly, accommodating, and efficient. Loved how they asked about any allergies. The food was tasty and perfect portions. Highly recommend the crispy Brussel sprouts and crispy chicken. Can’t wait til we can return to Bend and try other menu items.

Love this place!! Spicy fried chicken has always been my favorite! This place sure has grown in past 15 years! Great establishment and contribution to the Central Oregon food scene. Some of the best Asian Fusion food I’ve had at a restuarant. This is a popular local spot, but the food doesn’t disappoint, there’s a reason for it. I love the outdoor, dog friendly seating available.
