Take It Easy — Restaurant in Oakland

This is one of the few Thai restaurants in the area. All orders are taken at the counter, so don't be shy, grab and menu and get in line. I always get one of two things off the menu and should really try the other dishes, but I am hooked on their red duck curry or the duck drunken noodles. Make sure you tell them how spicy you want, if you get really spicy, they add lots of additional hot peppers. They also have different hot peppers on the table. Once you pay, you'll get a number for your table, grab some silverware and find a seat. If you get here after 12:15 you'll have a hard time finding a table. They'll deliver the food piping hot to your table. If I'm really busy or get out too late for lunch, I'll call in my order for pick up and then there's no issue with trying to find a place to sit. The prices are really reasonable and everything is cooked...

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...

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...
