Ugly Baby

"Bon appetite hit list Thai "

"Bib gourmand Qualifié d’« affreux » pour ne pas forcer le destin, ce bébé thaï est tout au contraire enjoué et attachant. Des sourires chaleureux et une ambiance conviviale règnent dans la salle aux murs striés de couleur et au mobilier en bois. L’établissement ne désemplit pas grâce à son authentique cuisine faite d’épices explosives, de saveurs affirmées et de produits de premier choix. Le mot de l’inspecteur : « Le porc est roi dans le kang hoh, un plat de nouilles, haricots mungo et haricots longs chinois plein de tempérament, qui se déguste accompagné de riz au curry subtilement épicé au gingembre. »"

"Their menu is so much more expansive than most other thai places I’ve been in NYC. Spare rib curry was the best thing on the menu, amazing. Servers make recommendations based on your spice tolerance"

"⚠️ Reported closed Poli 14.04.24 | Decent, but the music is too loud and the food a tad heavy Named "ugly" to avoid tempting fate, this Thai baby is in fact bright and cheery. Warm smiles and a convivial vibe dominate the room, decked out with colorfully streaked walls and wooden furniture. It's a wildly successful operation thanks to the authentic nature of its cuisine-fiery spice, vibrant flavors and bright raw ingredients being some of the classic hallmarks. While the heat is turned up for most dishes here, servers are quick to keep water glasses full and heated palates cool. The menu spans the nation's specialties, honing in on such rare items as tum kanoon (young jackfruit) paired with pork belly and curry paste. Pig is also king in the fiery kang hoh (with mung bean noodles and Chinese long beans) and subtly spiced curried rice with ginger."

"What is it? Booming on Smith Street in Carroll Gardens since 2017, Ugly Baby is a Thai restaurant that will test the limits of your heat tolerance. Fiery flavors abound in the “stay-away spicy Udon Thani’s duck salad," and orders of soothing tue ka ko will slake any palate flames.  Why we love it? Ugly Baby’s use of spice is a master class in heat notable to aficionados and novices alike. Like a lot of the city's best restaurants, the wait for tables can be long, but items also hold up well for take out and delivery. It also recently began accepting reservations.  "

"Ugly Baby has always been an exciting place to have dinner. Although until recently, you had to DM them on Instagram in order to make a reservation and place your order—which felt stressful and inconvenient. Now, you still have to place your order ahead of time, but you can book a table on Tock, and—if you have four or more people—you can get a set menu for $40 per person. That might not sound super remarkable, but A) you’ll get to try a bunch of different things, and B) Ugly Baby serves some of the best Thai food in NYC. Stop by with a few friends, and enjoy a spread that might include a whole crispy sea bream topped with fried shallots, creamy blue crab hor mak wrapped in banana leaf, and a salted mackerel dip that comes with what we can only describe as a cornucopia of fresh vegetables."

"Carroll Gardens At Ugly Baby, New Yorkers exchange glances and ask their neighbors for recommendations — yes, even during a pandemic. The great unifier? The incendiary cooking of southern Thailand. After a winter restricted to delivery, the neighborhood rejoiced when chef-owner Sirichai Sreparplarn reopened for indoor dining in April. Even more exciting: His new menu was nearly three times as long as the original, comprising mostly new dishes like peek gai (ground-pork-stuffed chicken wings over green beans) and kang leung (sour sea-bass curry). While on a recent visit, the restaurant’s laab ped, labeled “stay away duck salad” on the menu, lacked some of the promised heat, Ugly Baby remains a place where napkins are reserved for wiping noses, not hands."
