Take It Easy

Just ok! You get what you pay for. Not the freshest veggies and can’t recommend the (red) coconut curry either. Ginger pork was fine, tom yum was fine. It’s cheap/fine in a pinch. Cash only.

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!

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 consistently here.

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...
