We were in town to get my car's tires rotated and I was craving Thai food. It's been a hot minute since I've had Thai food and Takieng caught my eye quickly while browsing for local Thai restaurants. I was drawn to the beautiful decor, the lovely plates, and the cozy atmosphere. Takieng is tucked away in an older strip mall and has an unassuming exterior, but once you step inside, it is a whole different experience. I haven't seen such amazing decor at a Thai restaurant in a while and they even had some beautiful collectibles and a dining set in a glass case by the front! We were seated quickly. There were only a few individuals dining in, since it was after the lunch rush. It was a nice quiet day and we felt relaxed dining here.We were already eyeing the lunch specials, and I decided on the pineapple curry while my husband decided on the Thai chow mein. I also ordered a Thai iced tea (I always have to try the Thai iced tea when I visit new-to-me Thai restaurants). I liked that it came unmixed (since I always like to see how much milk they put in the drink and mix it myself). It was the perfect strength as well! We were given large glasses of water almost immediately, and our waitress was very attentive to refilling our waters. She topped our glasses off quite often. Our food arrived pretty quickly. First to the table were our soups and salads, which were simple yet good. The mushroom in my soup was undercooked (but I am also used to cooking my mushrooms until they are soft). Regardless, both the soup and salad were a good portion size. Shortly after, our lunch specials arrived, and both dishes were sooo flavorful! I loved the kick of spice that my pineapple curry had, and the garlic was prominent in my husband's Thai chow mein. My husband gave me most of his small ball of rice since I felt that I didn't have enough rice for my curry. We left full and satiated, and I took the rest of my Thai tea to go. Takieng is one of the Thai restaurants that I'd highly recommend and while we don't frequent this area often, I'd definitely make a trip to go back and try their other dishes!

Never knew this places existed. The authentic decor inside makes you forget where you are. Went in for lunch and shared the appetizer platter. It had chicken skewers, fried shrimp, vegetable spring rolls and vegetable tempura. It was all good. The peanut dipping sauce and the sweet dipping sauce was a nice touch.Also shared the shrimp pad Thai lunch that comes with a scoop of white rice. The workers here were welcoming and friendly.I'm interested in returning and exploring more of the menu.

Went on a Friday. There were only 6 people eating on 3 tables. I had to ask to be seated. It was 12:30 pm only. To lunch time. No one cane for about 7 minutes. Then we were served water and left alone for another 8 minutes. At that point we got up and left. Probably they have a particular clientele and I did not fit there profile. Will not visit ever.

We did take out order and what a hidden gem! After we placed our order we got to enjoy Thai Tea while we waited. The ladies working were so sweet and kept asking us if we needed anything. The inside is super cute and has adorable plates!Food was amazing. Everything was flavored well and tasted so fresh. We also go the appetizer sample plate which was a little of everything!

While staying at a different hotel during my visit I came across Takieng Thai Cuisine on my way home from the grocery store and I'm glad that I gave them a try without looking at their reviews or their menu. Tucked away in a small strip mall the restaurant doesn't stick out like a sore thumb but I had no problems locating this hidden little gem. I ordered the Larb Chicken Salad and the Red Curry with Tofu plus a side order of their rice. I waited less than 15 minutes for my food and was on my way. By the time I got back to my hotel room I was pleasantly surprised at how much food they have given which was enough to feed an army. I started with the larb salad which was delicious with the variety of different ingredients including lettuce, red onion and cilantro and the well balanced chilis and lemon juice. The dish had a nice kick to it and I was delighted by my choice. The red curry dish didn't disappoint either and I loved the taste of all the fresh vegetables and the sliced bamboo shoots. 5 stars for reasonably priced and tasty food and friendly service. I'll be back. Enjoy and Bon Appètit.

Solid Thai food in Fair Oaks with a great lunch special selection and healthy portions! Flavors are great and their ingredients feel fresh and well picked. Noodle and curry dishes are always a favorite of the family.We haven't dined in yet (usually takeaway for lunch/dinner), but the ambiance is family friendly and cozy. Plenty of adjacent parking.Staff is friendly and prompt. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a new lunch/dinner option in the area, and definitely come hungry!
