"Ugly Baby was one of our top-rated restaurants—and a rite of passage for anyone searching for their spice tolerance ceiling—until it closed last year. Almost overnight, a few former employees turned the Carroll Gardens spot into Hungry Thirsty, and if you really miss Ugly Baby, this restaurant will get you a good percentage of the way there, with beloved dishes like shrimp and squid stir-fried in rich egg yolk sauce making an appearance. But it also carves out its own path, with Southern Thai-style fried branzino in a sour, chili-studded sauce, and leng zaab, a spare rib soup, prettily topped with herbs. It’s not Ugly Baby, but Hungry Thirsty is still a great place to catch up over some excellent Thai food." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, bryan kim, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, sonal shah, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, w
