Ugly Baby

Ugly Baby Thai Restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience that tantalizes the taste buds and engages the senses in a harmonious blend of culinary craftsmanship and ambient aesthetics. On a recent visit, three dishes stood out for their masterful execution and balance: the Fried Turmeric Sea Bream, Cumin Beef Shank Panang Nuer, and Fried Rice. Each dish showcased a remarkable harmony of flavors, textures, and spiciness, carefully calibrated to a medium level of spice that was enough to entice without overwhelming. The Fried Turmeric Sea Bream was a revelation, its crispy exterior giving way to succulent flesh, elevated by the earthy warmth of turmeric. The Cumin Beef Shank Panang Nuer offered a robust cumin flavor that married beautifully with the rich, coconut-based Panang curry, while the Fried Rice provided a comforting base that tied all the flavors together with its simplicity and versatility. Beyond the culinary delights, Ugly Baby’s ambiance adds significantly to its charm. The vivid colors and minimal pop interior design create a visually appealing space that is both inviting and stylish. Coupled with the energizing beats of EDM music, the restaurant crafts a vibrant atmosphere that complements its dynamic menu. Ugly Baby Thai Restaurant is a testament to the beauty of balance in both its cuisine and its setting. It’s a place where every element, from the spice levels in its dishes to the decor and music, is thoughtfully curated to provide an enriching dining experience. Whether you’re a connoisseur of Thai cuisine or seeking an introduction to its rich flavors and traditions, Ugly Baby promises an unforgettable journey.

Love everything about this place. Never fails to satisfy my craving for spicy meals!

An easy 5/5 stars. I'm obsessed with all things hyper spicy, and this place is now my holy land. The spice is on point, and the food is absolutely spectacular. Things are a little on the pricey side, but everything is so good I don't even care. Our waiter did a great job explaining dishes and spice levels to us, and I'm happy we took his advice on everything. We had the curried pork leg and pig's ear jelly, the quail and jungle curry, and the sea bream. Everything was perfect. I'd consider the portions to be on the generous side. Shout out to the restaurant for having a ridiculously extensive beer and wine list, btw. Words of advice: -We got in there at 5 p.m. on a Saturday, and all tables were taken by 5:15 p.m. Don't think you can just walk in without a wait. Also, there's a time limit per table once you sit down (I can't remember what it is) -The food is going to take a little while to come out. Just be patient, it's worth super it. -Listen to your server, they know what's best for you. -If you get the quail and jungle curry, watch out for the little bones. I cannot wait to go back. This place has almost totally ruined other Thai food restaurants for me. It's a really, really incredible place. Only regret is not taking photos of the food.

Terrible and rude hostess which is very unfortunate because the food is amazing

Fantastic place with fantastic gluten-free options. Things to know: - A lot of the time if you pick a more “interesting” dish, the waiters will almost argue with you - they’ll tell you that it’s too spicy, too confusing, too out of the ordinary, etc. If they say it’s too spicy, yeah, they probably mean it. I have a high spice tolerance and the food here is *seriously* spicy. But in all the other cases - if you like trying new things, order whatever you want. Treat it as a good-to-know, but this is the sort of place where you should try new things! - Drink menu skews expensive unless you want beer, and the food really doesn’t need anything but water (a lot of water). IMO, steer clear. - Gluten-free options are marked on the menu. Almost the entire menu is GF. Just awesome. This is not the sort of Thai restaurant where the only GF options are the basic curries. Dietary restrictions: Great gluten-free options

Great food, polite and attentive servers, reminds me of Thailand. Love this place.

Had my first out of body experience here with the spice levels. Service is amazing but tight seating!

Food is delicious and spicy. Great wine/beer menu.
