Toomies Thai Restaurant, Bend Oregon

Toomies, Bend Oregon

I've posted about Toomies and about Thai Restaurants in Bend before but I wanted to give Toomies another post for their customer service. EVERYONE I talk to knows that you don't get the best service at Toomies. They aren't as rude as some in recent news but they definitely aren't the fastest. Sometimes it would take forever to even place your order let alone get a refill on your water.

On Monday I went to Toomies and was waited on by Chris. I'll never forget his name since he introduced himself to us as he took our order and did the same for the tables around us. I'll also never forget Jeremy, the jacknut who sat next to us and thought he was so cool he had to use the line "Chris, well I'm Jeremy, are we going to be friends".

Way to make it weird for all of us JDog.

Chris was awesome. Came by the table to check in on us, let us know the status of our appetizer, asked if there was anything else, refilled the drinks, and all in all in a good mood and had a friendly smile. No, I'm not smitten or anything. The guy was a great waiter which until that day, was something I had not experienced at Toomies ever.

Here's a couple photos of the Spring rolls which are just amazing and always have been at Toomies, and the Chicken Red Curry which is always good as well...Photos are just for you Monkey (FYI, I got my other camera working so soon there will not be anymore of these cell phone photos).

Angel Thai Cuisine

Angel Thai on Division is yet another option for Thai food in Bend Oregon. It's in an odd location that I tend to forget about but it was worth tracking down for some great food and good prices. As with most Asian food, if they have spring rolls, you have to try them. It's a staple so if they mess that up, might as well stop there, collect your things, and go get a burger. mmm burgers.

Angel Thai's spring rolls were crispy and filled with whatever spring rolls are filled with. I'm pretty sure they snuck in some vegi's....sneaky devils. Regardless, I enjoyed them immensely.

Here's a bad photo of the broccoli beef (the quality is my fault, food was great):


The Phad Thai was not bright red which made me happy. Shrimp Phad Thai:



And washed it down with a bottle of Singha (when in Rome):



All in all, the meal was excellent and the prices were very fair. With most family style meals it's easy to walk away with plenty of leftovers which we did. That makes it even better when you get that bonus meal the next day. It's like free money.

Definitely go give Angel Thai a shot.

Toomies - Chicken Red Curry and Phad Thai

Bend does not seem to have any really good Thai food restaurants. There is that stand by the Jiffy Lube on Greenwood but that's hardly a restaurant. I haven't been there in a long time and probably should swing back by before I say that Bend doesn't have any good Thai food.

So like I was saying, Bend doesn't have any really good Thai food. Today I went to Toomies for lunch. I haven't been to Toomies in a long time and actually have sort of dogged on them in previous posts like this one or that one.

Since I want you to like me, I'll give you one of my tips on how to order. First off call ahead and get it to-go. Toomies has not been known for their speedy service so eating there isn't a great benefit. Secondly, ask for the salad on the side.


The Chicken Red Curry was not the special so pictured above is what I got for $5.95. I say get the salad on the side because you get more Phad Thai and rice. Otherwise they put your salad in the Styrofoam (still cracks me up that Deschutes County allows Styrofoam) container along side your hot phad Thai and hot rice. Hot + Hot + Styrofoam + Salad = sad wilted warm salad. Get it on the side and it's still cold and crisp. Plus they usually will give you more Phad Thai and rice cause there's all that left over room.

I'm a genius.



Chicken Red Curry at Toomies is pretty good. I recommend that you request it with 3 stars instead of the normal 2. It makes the chicken spicy, which is how I likes it. I dumped my curry over the white rice. It's good. Do it. Do it.

Even though I showed you how to get more Phad Thai and rice, it's not always the smartest move. I personally do not like the Phad Thai at Toomies nearly as much as I do at SOBA. A friend of mine referred to this Phad Thai as spaghetti with peanut sauce ... but not as good.

If you're going to go to Toomies for the first time and have not tried their spring rolls, get them. Do it...Do it.
