Fusion Filipino restaurant with natural wine and Filipino beer selection. After trying many under-delivered fusion Filipino restaurants, Spoon and Pork easily takes the crowd to have the best executed fusion style dishes. We had the sinigang, grilled chicken, adobo chicken wings, pork belly, and garlic rice, and none of them disappointed.Sinigang's soup was rich and flavorful while the topping in the soup was cooked separately so they are not over cooked. The ribs came with a real nicely grilled flavored. The pork belly had crispy skin as expected and the fat to meat ratio was really good. The adobo chicken wings sauce was thick and sticky and not too salty nor sour, we kept the sauce for dipping Even after the wings were devoured.We are glad we took another chance in another fusion Filipino restaurant and we'll keep S&P on our rotation.
Spoon & Pork, as its charming name suggests, earns my unofficial Michelin star for the evening. This quaint culinary gem impresses with its sizable flair in a compact space. Our adventure led us into the bustling ambiance of this restaurant for dinner, uncovering a treasure trove of Filipino soul food I hadn't realized existed until now. My partner and I indulged in a pork shank, exquisitely glazed with a blend of spicy and sweet, alongside some aromatic garlic rice, a combination that captured our hearts. The starters arrived piping hot, setting the stage for a meal where each dish was crafted with care, and the cleanliness of the establishment added to the overall positive experience. The sole server, despite being the only one attending to a full house, performed admirably under pressure, adeptly managing orders, serving, cleaning, and processing payments with commendable efficiency. Despite the challenge of limited service staff, our experience was undeniably delightful.

This is a small casual spot but with very good and flavorful Filipino food. The service was straightforward and the menu is varied. Not the best spot for vegetarians, as this cuisine is pretty meat heavy, though there is a very nice tofu adobo. From the lumpia to the lechón, it was all fire. I’d absolutely come back to try other menu items.Vegetarian options: Really only a small handful of vegetarian options, mainly tofu based. Even the best rice dish has chicken fat oil.
Food is really good, unfortunately some of the servers are not good, the AC was super super cold and the parking it’s a hassle but I still planning to go back just for the taste of the

Greasy, standard supermarket pork, not kurobuta. Service is the pits. If they mess up your order their response is basically "too bad, not our problem". Super disappointing at these prices

Charming little shop serving Filipino comfort in Silver Lake! Clean with modern but vibrant decor, small diner with limited seating. Metered street parking can be hard to find during peak hours. Staff is cheerful and helpful. Food took a bit of time to arrive. The Brussel sprouts were bursting with flavor. The pork belly had a nice contrast of crispy skin and cooked meat. Garlic rice tied everything together! Sharing a starter and a main dish was enough for an easy meal for two. Prices were standard. Would definitely recommend, and go back.
Absolutely digusting, pork belly was dry and the "crispy" brussells sprouts were soggy. No distinct flavor other than too much salt. Also very rude customer service they just yelled at my face when I asked for a utensil to eat the rice that they should have given me already

Simply delicious! 3 of us shared 4 or 5 of the small plates with a big bowl of the adobo rice, we left feeling so full, and it was less than $50. The frizzled Brussels sprouts, the mushrooms, the Patatas bravas, the pork belly nigiri - all were so, so good! The pickled cucumbers were also pretty tasty. Super fast service, memorable flavors, fun little space, and affordable. Will definitely be back.
Definitely a great experience. The proportions are generous, and the staff was attentive. It's a bit pricey, but the price could be argued with the use of quality ingredients. The Patita was nicely balanced with a great crunch, but if you have leftovers, it's not very good the next day. We were not a big fan of the pork belly adobo... maybe if the pork belly was fried, there would be a better textural balance. I loved the Kare Kare, but I probably wouldn't get it again because of the price. They nailed the flavor, but it can be bought elsewhere for a similar flavor at a decent price. Overall, we were happy to finally get to try this place, but we may not be back because it's a bit too pricey for flavors you can get cheaper at traditional Filipino restaurants/markets.

We left this place so full. I had to be rolled out. If you want Filipino food that reminds you of what ur grandma makes then this is the place. Be warned you are gonna wanna order everything and then be so sad when you cannot. We got a number of dished from the fried pork to the beef. All of the meats here are deliciousWheelchair accessibility: There is no step into the building
It is my first time here and I would come back again. This food I had, the Lechon Kawali Plate, taste so good. The next time I come back, I will try their other items. It is sure to be good as well.
