| - After having gone here four, maybe five times, I'm FINALLY writing a review.
I like this place a lot. Their pumpkin curry is really really tasty (has chunks of pumpkin in it though so beware if you just want pumpkin flavor), and I've had their red and green curries as well. I've tried bites of the spicy green bean and the pad thai, and I've enjoyed those. Portions are generous--their lunch portion is what I'd eat for dinner and I've never finished their dinners--but prices are reasonable, less than $10 for lunch and less than $15 for dinner. Service is always very attentive, but the place can get a bit loud during peak dinner. Contrary to other Yelpers, I'm quite happy with the spice level--I've ordered a 7 every time and it's been consistently at the pleasant mouth heat level that I love. I've tried my dining companions' 3s and 5s and they've been significantly less spicy, so I do think there is true variation there.
I've never made a reservation here, but I always try to go at the beginning or end of typical dinner times (i.e. 5pm or 8pm) and I've been fine. I did try to go with a group of 5 around 7pm a week or two ago and we wouldn't have been able to be seated until 8:30, so we went elsewhere. If all else fails, they do do takeaway, so you can get your curry fix without waiting for a table.
Also, BYOB--yay! They do accept credit cards but twice when I've been there the machine has been broken so bring some cash just in case. There's a small parking lot off the street, and parallel parking on Bryant St. as well. The 71B goes right by here too. GO! Your mouth and wallet will thank you :-)
