I love Easy Creole.Though I noticed they’re closed walking by the other day. They were one of my favorite places. My partner and I had our last meal out together right before the pandemic shut down in 2020. And have loved getting together with friends there since the world opening back up again.Gratitude to these folks for their yummy affordable comfort food and the cool funky space they created for the community. And best of luck in what’s next!

Please don't shut down :( This has been the BEST spot I've ever eaten at in the East Bay. I'll miss eating by the window on rainy days by the window, with a friendly person behind the counter and piping hot comfort food.

great vegan options at a good price (esp. for the Bay).
it will be missed!

The food is not good. Flavorless. Zero spice. It's not creole food at all and is really disappointing if you're from the Southeast. The bread was the best thing. Got the gumbo and shrimp etouffee. The staff was friendly and the decor inside and outdoor seating is nice.

Fairly decent place! So why not 5 stars across the board? Well, because the minuscule amount of hot link pieces in the red beans and rice was disappointing, to put it mildly. I can understand wanting or needing to shave down costs... Maybe they don't standardize the amount of hot links in that dish and my dining partner and I both just got unlucky? She mentioned the same thing.I did enjoy the powerful flatulence the next morning though! It felt like a windstorm cleansing my innards.Edit in response to the owners reply:No, I won't do that... I've worked in hospitality and the catering industry for twenty years. Thus, I'm FAR too familiar with the fact that calling something to the attention of your waiter almost invariably leads to experiencing passive-aggressivity at best.But what I CAN do is leave an honest review online- that way I can share my true experience without having to feel made to feel lame, dumb, etc....I'm giving your business honest feedback- putting three or four pieces of sausage in the meal is poor practice. You're saving a dollar at the expense of creating a happy customer.If you've ever read any less than 5-star reviews of any business every business owner replies the same way- "why didn't you just call it to your waiter's attention?"I'm calling attention to it now, via online reviews- for the reasons I've covered.Stop taking things so personally and try accepting constructive feedback. I have nothing against you or your business.

Really nice staff. I've never ordered anything I didn't like, from both the meat & the veggie menu. Big guy in the back is the owner/head chef if I remember correctly. Talked with him for a bit during a slow-ish day at the register. Easy-going guy, passionate about his work. Haven't been here in a while, but this is definitely a go-to when I'm in the area.

The food here is so good, and it is really a unique place, I just can't understand why it's not packed all the time. The staff is great with their suggestions, and half the time I just let them choose for me. While the meat dishes look great, I tend to order from the vegan side of the menu. I've been going here for years and I have never been disappointed. If you have never eaten at Easy Creole, stop whatever it is you're doing and go there right now!

I loved the creole. I never tried before bc I'm not into spicy food but this one was perfectGreat service. And the location is very entertainingI would go again
Definitely worth visiting if you like creole food, and a need-to-visit if you're vegan. It's a fun spot, and the changing menu isn't as impactful as you might think it would be. They always have the general idea of what you're hankering for, but they might also have something new that catches your fancy!

The menu changes periodically but they have a "meat" and a "veg" menu - everything is always delicious. Very reasonably priced, generous portions and super friendly customer service. Did I mention delicious food? Yes.

Comfort food! So yummy. Very friendly helpful service. Definitely ask at the counter for recommendations on plates if you don't know what to get.Meated and vegan options and combo plates! Very eclectic art filled space! I'm absolutely coming back for more!

First time having creole food and it was hearty and filling. The cornbread is warmed and served with honey- best eaten while it's still warm and was my favorite part of the meal!

Honestly, I can't believe it took me 10 years to find this place. There is still a New Orleans itch that can only be scratched in New Orleans itself, but I must say, this comes pretty close, the folks there are great, the space is fun, and the food is delicious. Go check it out! As an omnivore, i thought that half the menu being vegan (and TASTY) is impressive.
Vegetarian options: Literally half the menu is vegan. My wife is vegetarian, so I'm always looking, and was quite impressed with the options, and the food. Delicious.
