I have to wonder who gives these reviews. Since this is a tourist town, do most of these people know what a good dispensary is? Staff here, on both occasions I visited were so subdued, it was like they could care not if I was there. Staff in the back lacked solid knowledge of what they even have on hand. I like doobies and the gal pulled out 2 boxes of prerolls, not even sure what was there, no way to see what was there but to pull the tube out and look at it, and they were merely sorted by price only. I grabbed a couple of the more expensive doobes and coughed all the way. Harsh weed that could not have been flushed prior to harvest, or had a bunch of trim in them. I would pay $2 more any day to not choke and they don't have that. Won't be back as this town has many better options, especially just down around the corner at the Doctors Office.
Ratings and reviews of Tokyo Starfish Box Factory Dispensary
Tokyo Starfish is hands down my favorite shop in Bend! The prices are great, the budtenders are all extremely helpful and some of the best bud I have ever had.
Updating my review...just wanted to say thank you to the owner for not only replying to my rant, but also for fixing the problem! Props to the owner for being one of the only ones who actually post negative reviews! I've not had a bad experience since my last post and have visited many times since. This dispensary is doing everything the right way, IMHO. Flower has been as good as anyone else's, and the prices are usually competitive for the most part. Cannabend wouldn't post my negative review! Tokyo is much better.
My personal go-to place. Always friendly and knowledgeable. Great prices for amazing weed.
Awesome vibe, even my parents enjoyed
Gotta love the fish!!! oh ya
Great little set-up they have got going on! I was visiting from out of town and checked out quite a few of the shops in bend and they are by far one of my favorite. I was super surprised and really happy when i found out my budtender(Mac) was really knowledgeable about terpenes and cannabinoids. Everything he recommended me was awesome and had incredible flavor. We even came back again a couple days later and I had the Mac again as a budtender and he even recognized me and asked how i liked my previous product. Super cool environment. Will definitely be coming back here on my next visit to Bend. Thanks again!:)
Favorite dispensary in Bend. Granted, I haven't been to all of them, but they are good enough that I don't need to. Before moving to Oregon from Florida back in April, I had researched the dispensaries in the area and was instantly drawn to their name because I have a Japan thing. My first visit to them was on my first wedding anniversary, 4/20! I tried my first Harlequin, got a fancy t-shirt (that I happen to be wearing right now), and found my new favorite place. Customer service is always fantastic. There was one incident where I wanted to return something and it was handled in a satisfying manner. They've taken excellent care of myself and my husband ever since. We spread the love on social media, tell everyone we meet about them, that kinda thing. Quality has never been an issue. I'm married to a second generation grower so I'm informed immediately if something doesn't look/feel/taste/smell right. They outsource to incredible companies, and they have good in-house buds. Prices are low. They aren't the lowest in the city, maybe a close second, but I wouldn't shop at the first one personally. All of their prices include rec taxes, which comes in really handy. Also, they're on Leafly! If I'm planning a trip down there I just hop on it and see what's new and or on sale. They sell clones! And clothes, and 420 friendly knick knacks, and edibles. Their $1 lighter with a Tokyo sticker works better than the ones I've bought from any gas station. Anyway, they're just awesome. If you're planning a trip to Bend, check them out first. THEN you can try the others. :)
Isaac was great to work with and the quality of the product was phenomenal!!!
Great spot, love the slogan. Good selection, will be back for sure.
You can't beat the original! Always excellent bud tenders ... folks who love what they're doing and it shows! I try to stop in whenever I'm in the area!
Decent prices and good service with friendly staff. Coming from someone that works in the industry, this is a great place and I would definitely return.
Been here a few times and the bud is really hit or miss. Sometimes old and dried out like the last sour diesel i got. Service is not good at all. I always feel rushed and never feel like the selection is anything special. It always feels like they are trying to sell as much as possible regardless of quality. Much better dispensaries in town.
Great staff! Showed up for the 1 year anniversary and although it was busy busy the employees were friendly and on point. Will return!
Great place! The staff was very friendly & courteous. Decent selection of products. Really cool personalized med containers, lighters, t-shirts, etc. was really neat to see. Had a pretty fun time, so I will be back for sure! Thanks Tokyo Starfish!
Wonderfully designed shop that caters to any type of consumer as their staff is highly knowledgeable and seem to have a good background in the industry. The environment is very relaxed and makes you feel comfortable. I went in for a nice uplifting sativa to keep my creative juices flowing and was directed to 2 wonderful strains. 1, a classic, Jack Herer and the other was Great White Shark. Both were cured perfectly as the flavor still held strong down to the last toke of a bowl. Effects were spot on with what I desired. The budtender that helped me was very helpful. Great work. :)
when I walked into the store, being my first time, I was immediately greeted by the super friendly gal up front. right after she checked us in, we were immediately welcomed into the back room. they had a fair selection of things to choose from. the staff were super friendly, and prices were reasonable. had a great time, as staff was very knowledgeable, and courteous. very comfortable/easy setting. I definitely will be back. great job guys!
Though a bit hard to find, Tokyo Starfish is going to be added to my routine. Friendly staff, they had an iPad loaded with the menu and stuff while you're waiting, and one of the things that really stood out to me was that the listed prices include tax! I haven't seen that anywhere else, and it makes a lot of sense to me. The budtender I worked with was really nice and well informed, A+ there.
You guys should definitely put all of your edibles on the Leafly! The woman at the front desk wasn't very friendly at all. Once I got let in, it was a different story! I got helped by a tall blonde with glasses, she was great! They have so many edibles and different strains! Awesome little spot! :)
Knowledgeable staff, excellent quality. Good selection of flowers, edibles and concentrates.
On 1st of February I took a tour of some of the local establishments in Bend. When I travel to other places in Oregon my friend and I like to take Dispensary tours. This is a tough little nut to crack. The easy atmosphere is geared towards to local clientele from the surrounding area. I love the name, The customer service was great and the building gives it kitschy feel. You would not go wrong stopping in on the way through to get a Bend atmosphere fix. There were two stations in the back, they had plenty of product on display along with two tablets at a table to research what they have if you are taking your time. I would have given it a higher rating but I wold not be the client they would normally look for, so I had a hard time with the too easy atmosphere especially up front. At this stop I choose some XJ-13, Green Lotus, Harle Tsu and a lighter with their logo.
Friendly serene atmosphere. Knowledgeable & Patient Bud-tenders even with this middle aged newbie with 147 questions. Kudos Ashley me and my sister thought of you when making our weekly deposit into the International Jar of Mystery and has a giggling good time! Will definitely return and highly recommend the Recreation side and Love the Free stickers!
Great location, fairly low key looking establishment (not a lot of herb leaves or neon green crosses in the windows) which is preferable to me. Honestly, first couple of months I drove by it I thought it was a Japanese food restaurant. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly without the condescending tone if you have questions. My choice neighborhood place!
Favorite store in Bend. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.
