Thai Tamarind is a great local place to get some consistently good food. They are extremely generous with their portions, and I've yet to have a bad experience there. Dining in is a very small and intimate environment. I always get takeout, and it's a very speedy and easy process. The lunch specials are also very nice. A spring roll and a small salad along with a slightly smaller portion of the main entree at a very appealing price. The spicy scale is from 1-5, be careful with a 5 though, they don't mess around with their spice. Great little place to try though!
