Best Affordable Takeout Restaurants in Oakland, Berkeley, and the East Bay | Eater SF

"This northeastern Thai restaurant in El Cerrito is open for takeout for both lunch and dinner (with only the dinner menu available on weekends). Apart from the assorted meat skewers (which comprise most of the “tapas” side of the menu, the focus here is on Isaan dishes, especially the larbs (bright, spicy meat salads) that give the restaurant its name. For the most bang for your buck, go for any of Larb Thai’s excellent noodle dishes — including an uncommonly delicious, liver-intensive rendition of Thai boat noodles — for just a shade over $10. For curbside pickup, call 510-524-8988 upon arrival." - Luke Tsai
