I recently moved from San Francisco, and was having the hardest time finding good Thai Food. I'm so glad that I found Takieng Thai Cuisine! Seriously so good. Comparable to the best Thai restaurants in SF. I usually get the Pad Ke Mao or the green curry.

Food is very flavorful and authentic, portion size is solid, prices are reasonable considering all the food inflation. Staff is friendly, but had to wait a long time for pickup. They were apologetic, but they need to give more realistic time estimates.

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.

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!
