Take It Easy: Discover Authentic Thai Cuisine in Oakland

I was walking down the sttreet you see . Youu reasing though... Ok where was ? Hungry! Hadn't fed my self breakfast and I was looking. . Low and behold I needed to Take it easy! So it said on the sign but what a suprise! Thought they made sandwiches but I love me some Thai. Affordable delicious nutrious and great service! I recommend your taste buds get on over there! Ya hear?.. oh yeah.. Ya read

The food here is consistently fresh and tasty. Tofu with chili sauce and green beans my favorite. The gentleman at the cash register is always friendly as is his wife (the main cook). Not only is the food excellent, the price is very reasonable. Lunch is a bit of a challenge because of the huge crowds. However, evenings are great (very quiet, which is good since I often come here as a break from work to read). Overall, this is a not-to-miss gem in Uptown...

I was in a hurry during my lunch break last week. FYI cash only, there’s an atm at the market across the street. The man who greeted me was Thai and very nice. You order/pay at the counter before sitting down. The food came out within 5 or so minutes. I ordered the Beef Rad Na, my trusty taste test to see if the food is good and it was amazing. I mean you can’t go wrong with Fresh broccoli cooked to perfection, beef seared in a wok just the way you want it and the black sweet soy sauce was oh SOoo delicious Mmmm. I will definitely be back.

Went with a group for lunch. From the outside it makes you wonder, but one we got our food all doubts evaporated. You place an order from their extensive menu at the countertop by the entrance. We got a table and each of us got a number that eventually was replaced by the meal. The kitchen is small anf only two dishes cane out at a time. Piping hot and very large portions appear to be the norm here. Coupled with relatively low prices makes this a good lunch spot. Flavors were good, but not exceptional. If they allowed for credit card payments, i would give this place a 5 star rating!

Take It Easy Thai Cuisine has been around for more than 8 years! I used to come here when my daughter went to the high school around the corner and came by often to get lunch. I usually get the Pad See Ew, Pad Thai noodles, or the coconut curries. Today, I wanted to try something different, which was the Beef Jungle Curry. This dish is on the dry style curry, not the soupy kind, and I loved the spice and kick it had. The Beef Jungle curry was served over rice, and I must say I was impressed and enjoyed this dish! Service was fast, and the staff was awesome! Although there's other options in the area, I believe this is one of those mom and pop's restaurants that need some support from the community. The prices are still on the cheaper side for the portion you get. Hole in the wall kinda spot. I would definitely come back and support this neighborhood gem again!

While their Pad See Ew tastes quite different (a bit tangy) compared to other Thai places I've tried, the garlic chicken skewers were pretty good. The place overall looks a bit unmaintained. The good thing they have going is that their menu prices are relatively cheap when compared to the surrounding restaurants.

Great portions. I’m so good and tasty. Everything is super fresh and well seasoned nice atmosphere very relaxing with low lights nice bay windows. I am really enjoy eating here.

Really good Thai food at an unbeatable price! The owner is also really nice. Wish that they opened on weekends though so that I can visit more often. They also accept credit card now.
