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).

Bend Bulletin’s Baltazar’s Article

2007/04/26

***UPDATE***
Apparently this issue is still a hot button. As the comments are getting more irritating for me to read through, I’ve decided that unless you’re bringing something new to the conversation or talking about the food, please post your comments in one of the other forums. Many of the recent comments are being deleted by me.

Highchairs lead to high drama

We all know about the comments here and on the Mom2Mom blog as well as the filth on Craigslist about this issue. The article by Anna Sowa of The Bulletin did a decent and very PC job of summarizing the story. I’m glad that someone was able to gather up some additional information. What I was most shocked about was Chavez admitting to saying what he said.

I’m not saying that Yvette was lying, but I honestly thought that she was exaggerating a bit. I also thought, and still think that there is a part of the story that is not being told.

He now apologizes for losing his temper with Nishikawa.
“I’m not going to deny I said that,” Chavez said Wednesday. “But she made me crazy.”

How did she make you crazy? Where is that? You don’t go from explaining that you’re not going to offer high chairs instantly to cursing do you?

“Of course I’m worried,” he said. “I have (children) to feed.”

Must feed them at the house because (in my best “kids on the bus from Forest Gump” voice) “You cain’t sit here”, “Seat’s taken”, “Can’t sit here”.

Ahh but then the sweet southern voice chimes in from the back “You can sit here if you want”. Sweet Jenny.
