    Pineapple rice with shrimp
    Harmony G.

    Some friends and I had lunch here today. Service and food were very good. We had a three year old girl with us and the accommodated her request for plain noodles. Nice! I got Pad Thai with chicken to take home to my husband. Really good too. Hard to find a good Asian restaurant in Central Oregon so this one was a find! Check them out!

    Drunken noodles with tofu
    Robin S.

    None of the Thai restaurants in Bend have blown me away so I had hopes that Thai O in Redmond would be better. Sadly, not so much. This place strikes me as a good take-out place if you want a quick pseudo Thai fix. I'd put it in the same league as Orchid Thai in Bend. We had a tofu meal but you can get whatever protein you prefer. I don't think the flavor profile would differ much. - Ginger stir fry with tofu: Bland with very little ginger flavor. - Red curry with tofu: OK but could use quite a bit more depth to the curry and the bamboo shoots seemed to be dumped straight out of the can prior to serving. - Drunken noodles with tofu: a popular Thai dish, this version disappoints. Not real flavorful, not spicy at all and the noodles were clumped as the dish hit the table. - Green beans: Not good. Beans are not cooked through and the sauce they use had no flavor whatsoever. If you're thinking this dish is similar to Chinese-style dry fried green beans, it's not. Overall, Thai O's dishes lack depth and are not even close to being spicy or well seasoned. The chili oil / hot sauce condiments (there are two but you'll have to ask) helped but even then, they are the mildest I've ever had at a Thai restaurant. Lack of spiciness in Central Oregon restaurants is common - even those that advertise 'hot!'. So I guess I'm not surprised. But spiciness aside, Thai O's dishes could use more creative and assertive seasoning. Service was merely OK. We were there when it was not busy at all and were greeted promptly but after that, not so good. Neither server asked how we were after delivering the food. One dish was held up but we had to flag the server down to ask instead of being told it would be a few more minutes when he dropped off the other plates (they had to redo it in the kitchen, apparently). And we had to hunt down the hot sauces and call the server over to get drink refills. So, OK but somewhat disinterested service. The space is stark, laid out poorly with little thought to dining ambiance. However, the booths are comfortable and everything is spotless. Overall, OK for take-out where you can doctor up the food with your own sauces and seasoning but not OK for a sit-down meal.

    Great tasting food. Portion size is just right and you can have it spiced to your liking. They do take out too. Coming back for more

    They have Thai beer and Sapporo (Japanese). The Thai fried rice and crab puffs were amazing.

    Do they have gluten free option?

    Yes, they have a lot of wheat free options. I can't guarantee they are totally free of glutin, but I am allergic to wheat and love eating there. Many vegetable dishes and always rice to eat.

    I was here with my family and this was one of the best meals of the trip. Now, I was here a few…read moremonths ago, but I only recently downloaded yelp. As a celiac, I made so that they have a dedicated fryer for their fries/tater tots, and they did, so naturally I had to get those. I decided on the sweet potato tots and they were just delectable. I was also craving something fresh, so I got the BBQ Chicken bacon ranch salad. Perfect meal after driving for hours on end. We even came back the next day and I got the exact same meal. The servers were also very patient and knowledgeable. I don't live anywhere near here, but whenever I come back to the area I'll be sure to return to this restaurant.

    Yelp led us to this spot and at first glance from the outside I thought we were walking in to an…read moreold bank. They have a cool outdoor spot, but the weather was chilly that day. Once you step inside you are transported to a killer brew pub dimension. The place was moderately busy for 1:30 on a Wednesday and we were immediately greeted by the bartender. We analyzed the tap list and narrowed it down quickly to the 3 IPAs brewed by these guys. We ended up trying all 3 and overall I would give the beer an 8 out of 10. I love a Boneyard RPM or Ft. George 3-way. I have been away from Oregon Craft for about a year so I am a little off my game but I didn't leave a drop in those pint glasses. We both ordered the smash burger and fries with some jalapeño aioli sauce. The fries were maybe the best fries I've ever had. I literally put my head down and chowed through them all before realizing I had a burger too. Smash burger is true to form dressed with melted cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato. The bun had been fried in magic sauce to a crispy texture before they built the burger. We were blown away at how good it was!! We went to Sunriver Brewing on Wednesday night and think Initiative won our personal award for that day!! Highly recommend you check it out and I want to go again before I have to leave town!!
