Heard about this place for a long time from my Thai friends and this place is amazing! We ordered fish curry and crab curry. So tasty! I’d say it’s over the spicy level of American standard but I personally loved it so much! Will come back and try others!

I’ve kept this review to myself because it was a hidden gem, but because it got so popular over the years… they deserve all the stars from me. This is my go to Thai spot and we’ve been coming here since the day they opened (not kidding, we’ve tried almost ALL their dishes. See pics yourself) We usually order +1 dish than how many are dining, so 3 dishes if 2 people. The staff is the best crew ever, always explaining the new dishes on the menu and always welcoming everyone in with the widest smiles. The menu used to be fixed with the same classic dishes but these last two years they started rotating seasonal menus with new ingredients. Don’t worry, their spicy duck Laarb will always be there!! We love how innovative their menu is, pushing everyone to try something new. Not gonna lie, there’s some wild shit on there — but they’ve never let us down!!

I was told by someone that this Thai restaurant is the best in Brooklyn. I was quite skeptical just because I am Thai and not easy to be pleased with the food in Thai restaurants in NYC in general. But I thought I should give it a try. I was surprised when saw the menu. The dishes are not the typical ones you usually see in Thai restaurants here. It is a small menu but has interesting dishes; some from the north and some from the south of Thailand. I ordered a northern pork curry called Hung Le. It was absolutely delicious and the picked garlic gave it an interesting flavor and texture. So I will go back and try other dishes for sure. Aroi Mak Mak ka! Updated: I went there again on 10/11/2024 with 2 friends and it was absolutely delicious. My friends were impressed by the food and the overall experience. This time, we ordered 3 dishes. The portion of each dish was big enough for the three of us. I loved that they changed their menu to present interesting Thai dishes and their menu is small and simple.

Goated spot for actual authentic Thai dishes, especially underrated ones involving fish. My favorites were definitely the crispy fish as well as the one in a soup, but really everything we got was excellent. The menu is rotating, but I trust whatever they have cooking up recently is going to be good. The staff is extremely helpful in helping decide what meals to select as well as what drinks would pair well with the selections. Overall, an excellent experience and would recommend for anyone looking for Thai food.

Wow! I loved Ugly Baby! The food was probably the spiciest I’ve had in years. It was so delicious that I pushed through and ate it all. They have a fantastic wine selection as well. The server warned us that we were ordering too many very spicy dishes. I pushed through and got them anyways, but he was right. They were very spicy. I appreciated the warning but I’m probably too stubborn to listen. Other than that, great music, fun atmosphere, quick service. What’s not to love?
