Wild Rose, Thai restaurant in Bend, US
Wild Rose is a Northern Thai restaurant in Bend that prepares traditional dishes using locally sourced ingredients from area farmers. The kitchen focuses on authentic preparations without shortcuts or common adaptations.
The Itti family opened Wild Rose after moving from Port Townsend, Washington, where they previously ran a Thai restaurant. The move to Bend allowed them to continue their cooking tradition with a new community.
The restaurant emphasizes shared plates and sticky jasmine rice, which reflects how people eat together in Northern Thailand. You will not find common Western adaptations here, only authentic dishes from that region.
The restaurant is open daily with extended hours on weekends compared to weekdays. You should plan for busy times, especially if visiting later in the day.
The chef prepares dishes based on family recipes from Chiang Mai, including Khao Soi, a creamy noodle soup with egg. These recipes come from generations of cooking experience and are rarely found in American Thai restaurants.
