" I've been to a lot of Thai restaurants in New York, and I can confidently say that Ugly Baby stands out due to their authentic and seasonal approach to dishes. What I loved most was their herbal flavors popping in each dish, especially when combined with some spicy accents. I enjoyed an immensely flavorful dish that reminded me of my travels in Thailand, not just your typical restaurant fare. This experience exceeded my expectations in every way! " (*Curated Review*)

" Making a reservation at Ugly Baby was a great decision! The atmosphere was packed and energetic, making it a perfect setting for a Friday night dinner. The wonderful smells wafting from the kitchen made our mouths water! The food did not disappoint at all; I had the hunger pangs for more after the appetizers. Every dish we tried was unique, fresh, and vibrantly spiced — it was a thrilling experience. Definitely plan another visit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, Ugly Baby exceeded all my expectations! Walking inside is like stepping into a colorful adventure in Thailand. The food is consistently spicy and the flavors are authentic. Don’t expect your typical Pad Thai here; instead, they offer regional dishes that bring some heat! Dining here is a communal experience, and the staff made sure we were informed about spice levels. I left with a full stomach and a happy heart. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ugly Baby has easily become one of my go-to spots for Thai food! The authenticity of their dishes shines through with every bite you take. You can grab both Northern and Southern Thai specialties that really highlight the diversity of Thai cuisine. I highly recommend the blood pudding salad if you're feeling brave, and their curries are to die for, too! The atmosphere is much more laid-back than you'd expect from a trendy spot, and the staff treats you like family. It'll definitely be hard to choose what to order next with the number of extraordinary options available. " (*Curated Review*)

" We heard about Ugly Baby from friends who are regulars, so we had to check it out for ourselves. The space is cozy, filled with character and absolutely bursting with flavor. Every dish was a delight, and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed the kua glin mook, which was one of the best dishes I've had in ages! The only downside was it might be a bit hard to snag a table since it's rather popular, but once you're in, the food and service will make it all worthwhile. Perfect for a fun night out with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise finding Ugly Baby! From the moment we sat down, we felt welcomed. The service was prompt and attentive, ensuring we were informed about the various spice levels present in their meals. We ordered the beef shank curry and the fried rice — both were bursting with distinctive flavors! If you can handle heat, every dish is worth a try. A hidden gem for authentic Thai food lovers. We're already planning our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Ugly Baby was phenomenal! I loved how the flavors carried the essence of Thai cuisine. The staff helped us navigate the spice levels, ensuring we had a balance with the not-too-spicy dishes. While it can get busy, the ambience is perfect for a lively night out. If you're looking for authentic and exciting Thai cuisine, I highly recommend this spot—it does not disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)
