Take It Easy

A no frills and simple Thai spot. I ordered the Seafood Pad Se Ew. The seafood that was included was shrimp and some calamari strips. The sauce was plentiful and tasty. It was only 13.00. Thai ice tea 3.00. They caught on to most of Japans business model of paying first then you can seat yourself. Smart and necessary for the world we live in. Need a quick fix for some Thai food, pop on in.

Absolutely no idea why this place has a low rating. This is a non and pop business, and they do two things right : the place is clean and the food is delicious! I 100% vouch for this business. I worked downtown Oakland a few years and would regularly wall to this place for his cost, great food. Thank you for always doing the eggplant dishes just right. Warm regards, Sharine

Dropped by here to grab a quick bite and got the drunken noodles the was great and made to order. Everything was fresh and had a really good flavor. Will definitely be coming back !

Went here for lunch and ordered vegetable drunken noodles. The place is run by a family of mom dad and son. Mom and son does the cooking dad is at register and serves food to table. Service is quick and very reasonable price for the location and food. The food is made to order and ample quantity and fresh. Have been here a dozen times over the last 6 months. Bottom line will visit this place again.

Great food. I've walked by this place all the time - it's clearly a lunch place as they're apparently not open past 5:30PM. Came in for takeout and ordered a rice plate with chicken curry. They only had one kind of curry but it was delicious with good, strong flavors, mild spice. Quick and packaged well. Reasonably priced for lunch. Good taste and I'd love to try other items here including pad thai, pad see ew, thai ice tea. No picture because I housed it down but would come back!

Went back today and love the food ! Like I said, I been going here since I was single and still eat here for over 30 years and still love the home cooking and made fresh daily as you order. :) Pandemic changed the table spice condiments that I miss a lot but the food is still fresh and yummy !

What happened to you, Take It Easy? You were such a local gem and our go-to spot for jungle curry style (no coconut milk) Thai food. Pre-pandemic we enjoyed eating inside, surrounded by plates of chicken or pork jungle curry. Food was never a miss. We finally decided to get take-out again and what we discovered when we sat to eat was simply dismal. Rice and curry in the same container reduced the rice to a mealy mush. It was just a gross mouthful. And the curry was similarly mushy and with muddy flavors. My pork curry had no notes of fresh basil or even the slightest crunch to onions or the baby corn or beans. I would not have known I was eating pork... no flavor came forward. Honestly it tasted like a premade dish you might find on a buffet line late in the day. The husbands lemongrass chicken was similarly mushy, with rubbery carrots, and the entire dish lacking any discernible flavor. And the worst still was the upset stomach I got through the night and the digestive issues the next day. I'm no wimp when it comes to spicy food, and this wasn't from the chilies. Something wasn't right. At a time economically when getting take out is a special event, this was a sad disappointment.We ordered during a quiet time of day (around 330pm), so it's not like the kitchen was slammed. I really hate leaving bad reviews, but hopefully this doesn't happen to others. Not sure we will be back soon, however.

Great service and great food. Nice indoor seating. Cute decor. Family has been going here for years. Everything is good.

Been coming here for 25+ yrs. I love it. Good food, reasonable prices. All cooked to order. This family business does it right!

The tastiest Thai food ever. All fresh ingredients and made to order with your choice of mild, medium or spicy. Reasonable prices and pleasant dining area. Highly recommend this restaurant.
