    Food was OK. Thai flavors, but not anything special. 17$ for a bento with pre frozen egg rolls was a lot. I wouldn't eat here again, sorry.

    The food is fine--for Americanized Thai. Not the most flavorful but everything tastes clean, and it…read morehits the "we don't feel like cooking tonight" mark. That said, do not be fooled by the spice scale. I'm not convinced there's a spice level beyond mild, no matter what you request. Now, onto the real star of the show: the service. My husband and I have turned dining here into a full-blown game. We place bets on how long it will take for our server to acknowledge us, whether we'll get a greeting or just a silent stare, if he will consider refilling or even giving us a drink, and what level of mild-to-moderate hostility we'll experience that evening. It's honestly become part of the charm. Dinner and a show. To his credit, this server is consistent. In the three years we've lived in Central Oregon, I'm fairly certain he is the only server we've ever seen there. Ever. And his attitude has been consistent. Which raises questions... but also a bit of admiration for his commitment to the bit. All jokes aside, if he hates being a server this much, it might be time for a career pivot. But until then, we'll probably keep coming back--not for the spice, not even really for the food--but to see what kind of performance we're getting that night.

    Server made no attempt at interaction or asking how things went. Food was not bad but we were both…read morereaching for the peanut sauce to pour all over everything because as it came to the table it was all pretty bland. Pricing and a clean dining room were positives.

    I dug right into the food. I apologize for not taking any pictures. This was a togo order. I did…read morenot call ahead. I showed up just after 5pm on a Sunday evening. They have a small and cozy dining hall that was full. I had all ready had an idea of what I would order but quickly looked at the menu just in case I wanted to take additional item home. I ordered papaya salad, pad see ew, and tom ka soup. I also got a thai tea to go. I might have waited 15-20 minutes for my order. There were also several call in orders that people came in to pick up. I am surprised at the speed they produced the food. The bench seat had a small view of the kitchen. I believe this is a very efficient full fledged family restaurant. Everyone was friendly and nice. The way they packaged the food was thoughtful. I had a 20 minute drive back home. It stayed warm /hot and no leakage even with the soup. Now the food: Papaya salad was delicious. Great flavor. My only issue is it was marked on the menu as spicy. *Morgan Freeman voice* -it was not in fact spicy. It was completely spice free. I know that SE asians are sweet to profile us pale people as no heat, but I was really looking forward to spice.... So for next time I will request heat added as I am a non-practicing alabaster person. To be fair, every fair complexion person with a togo order clarified that their food was "non spicy." I can't call them out for playing it safe. Yes queens. Pad see ew: shrimp was my protein. It was delicious. Regular broccoli was used. Chinese broc might be out of season. I don't care. It was great. Will eat again FR. Tom ka soup: the gem of this story. They made it without onions, be praised, as I have a horrible allergy and most of my one star food reviews are about food safety in relationship to ignoring food allergies. This was fresh, flavorful, bright. Great protein to both ratio. Probably one of the best versions I have ever had. Will be ordering again. Probably regularly. Thai tea: was great. Ice, tea, milk ratio good. I like less ice in my drinks... she somehow knew this. Now I know if I want Thai I have a place to call Thai Home (see what I did there), that I won't have to drive twice the distance to Portland to get fantastic Thai food. Honestly, I think this is way better than most of the thai restaurants in the greater portland area. Thank you for a wonderful dinner and subsequent left overs! 10/10.

    This place had great food for a good price. Yummy lunch specials and the people were very kind!…read more Would definitely go there again!

There are lots of items from which to choose that are from all sorts of Asian cuisine. I chose the chicken tempura with french fries!! Not my best moment, but it sounded unique. My mother chose some sort of rice and seafood dish. Portions are large, my mother couldn't even finish hers. The chicken in the tempura was dry and stringy. Every 4th one was edible. Couldn't tell if it was breast or thigh, but the chicken pieces were so small they got overcooked. The plum sauce didn't really go with the chicken. Fries were surprisingly ok. My mother liked her dish. I was happy they had a little alcove off near the entrance because both of the other parties there were hacking up a lung. I felt nervous like I had during COVID when people were spreading their germs around willy-nilly. I probably wouldn't come here again, if I did it would be to try one of their other dishes.

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.

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!!
